Evaluating the Antisolar Activity of Calotropis Gigantea Leaf Extracts in Different Solvents: A Comparative Study

Abstract

A higher flavonoid concentration was found in the solvent extract of Calotropis gigantea (leaf) in the current phytochemical investigation and anti-solar activity. Using diffused transmittance and a UV-visible range of around 200-400 nm, this chemical substance's photoprotective ability was assessed using UV visible spectrophotometry. The whole spectrum of ultraviolet light may be absorbed by these extracts. All of the solvent extracts tested in this investigation demonstrated excellent UV absorption capabilities across the board. So, a broad spectrum sunscreen may make use of this characteristic to absorb the whole UV range. Instead of using dangerous chemicals, this is a great option for contemporary industry.
