Potential Uses of Stone Flower For Antioxidant Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIn studies, the ethanolic extract of the stone flower exhibited significant antioxidant potential and a good free radical scavenging effect. In addition, the methanolic extract of the stone flower in a study showed noteworthy antioxidant activity when tested in phosphomolybdenum reduction and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay3<\/a><\/sup>. These claims may need further research to establish their effect on humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Potential Uses of Stone Flower For Cytotoxic Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe methanolic extract of the stone flower was found to have cytotoxic activity and exhibited antiproliferation against colon cancer cell lines in studies3<\/a><\/sup>.

Potential Uses of Stone Flower For Antibacterial Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe acetone, ethyl acetate, and methanolic extract of the stone flower was studied to have significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, studies show the hydro-alcoholic extract of the stone flower was found to be significantly active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Proteus vulgaris, Escherichia coli, S. aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Corynebacterium xerosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe antibacterial potential of stone flower might be due to the presence of usnic acid3<\/a><\/sup>. The methanolic extract of the stone flower also exhibited significant antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive foodborne bacteria.

Potential Uses of Stone Flower For Antiviral Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThe polysaccharide fraction of the stone flower was investigated for cytotoxicity on cell lines, and it was found to possess specific antiviral potential against the yellow fever virus that attacks the viral envelope3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nStone flowers might aid in cough. Other than its anti-ulcer and anti-oxidant nature, the Stone flower is believed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that might keep the cough-causing bacteria at bay.<\/p>\nDr. Rajeev Singh, BAMS<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n8.

In studies, the ethanolic extract of the stone flower exhibited significant antioxidant potential and a good free radical scavenging effect. In addition, the methanolic extract of the stone flower in a study showed noteworthy antioxidant activity when tested in phosphomolybdenum reduction and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay3<\/a><\/sup>.
