Comparative antihyperglycemic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory potential of ethanolic aerial root extracts of Ceriops decandra and Ceriops tagal: Supported by molecular docking and ADMET analysis.

ABSTRACT: Ceriops decandra (Griff.) (CD) and Ceriops tagal (Perr.) (CT) are two mangrove plants of the Sundarbans distributed along the coastal areas of South Asia and South Pacific Africa. Traditionally, these plants are used to treat diabetes, pain, angina, hemorrhage, and ulcer. In this study, we investigated the antioxidative, antihyperglycemic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory potential of the aerial roots of CD and CT. At first, the antioxidative potential of CD and CT ethanolic extracts were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assays and by determining total antioxidant capacity. The total phenolic, flavonoid, tannin, and terpenoid contents of CD and CT were also estimated. The extracts'
