Investigating the Phytochemical Composition, Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Potentials of Cassinopsis ilicifolia (Hochst.) Kuntze Extract against Some Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Molecular Markers.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress is a key factor that activates several transcription factors and mediators involved in the inflammatory pathways responsible for the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Targeting the expression of these mediators represents a promising approach to preventing these diseases. Cassinopsis ilicifolia leaf infusion is traditionally used for treating conditions such as inflammation and pain relief. Thus, the present study assessed the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the hydroethanolic leaf extract of C. ilicifolia using in vitro and cell-based assays. As a result, C. ilicifolia extract exhibited the highest DPPH^• and ABTS^•+ radical scavenging potential. At the same time, it weakly scavenged the Fe³⁺-TPTZ ra
