   • According to Surana AR (2026)

     Excerpt These results suggest that C.T leaves are a promising natural alternative for managing cardiovascular disorder & oxidative stress. Among the extracts, the ethanol extract exhibited the highest total phenolic content, which correlated with its strong antioxidant activity demonstrated through multiple assays including DPPH, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, & ferrous ion chelation.

   • According to BHATTACHARYYA S (2025)

     Excerpt In conclusion, the results of this investigation indicate that MECT has promising antioxidant, free radical scavenging, & antidiabetic capabilities & may further be investigated as a therapeutic candidate against oxidative stress mediated hyperglycemic conditions. The primary objective of this work is to examine the chemical composition, as well as the antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and antidiabetic properties of the methanolic leaf extract of Clerodendrum thomsonae (MECT) utilizing both in vitro and in silico approaches.
