Exploring the potential of , and in oral disease prevention: A multifaceted approach.

INTRODUCTION

Rose species that are well-known for their therapeutic qualities include , and . The study employs assays and molecular docking to investigate their phytochemical composition and antioxidant properties.

METHODS

Phytochemicals were detected in flower petals of , and that had been extracted using methanol. Ascorbic acid was utilised as the standard reference for assessing antioxidant activity and its hydrogen peroxide scavenging potential. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) interactions with berberine, emodin, and limonene were assessed by molecular docking using PyRx software.

RESULTS

Various beneficial substances were found in all species according to phytochemical investigation. Among the three Rosa species, demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity, followed by and . Docking studies demonstrated that berberine and emodin had substantial binding affinity with SOD. The extracts showed strong antioxidant properties, suggesting that they could be used as naturally occurring antioxidants.

CONCLUSIONS

, and show promise as medicinal plants and have strong antioxidant properties. The results validate the development of these rose species as naturally occurring antioxidants for the treatment of ailments related with oxidative stress.
