Phytochemical profiling, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential of methanolic extracts of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> (L.) Lam. and <i>Moringa stenopetala</i> (Bak.) Cufod. leaves grown in Arba Minch, Ethiopia.

ABSTRACT: The genus Moringa contains 14 species, including the widely cultivated Moringa oleifera and Moringa stenopetala. They have outstanding nutritional and medicinal advantages. This study aimed to analyze and compare the anti-inflammatory potential, antioxidant capacity, and phytochemical profile of the two species' methanolic leaf extracts. The ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry method was utilized for phytochemical profiling. Total flavonoid content and phenolic content were determined using the colorimetric procedures of aluminum chloride and Folin-Ciocalteu assays, respectively. In vitro, antioxidant activity was measured using 2,2'-casino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl as
