| HM | 77.04 ± 0.46d | 60.86 ± 0.66c | 63.40 ± 0.88bc |
| NW | 60.99 ± 0.98a | 56.38 ± 1.31b | 61.82 ± 1.95b |
| NM | 81.20 ± 1.28e | 59.89 ± 1.68bc | 75.17 ± 0.91d |
| M | 64.95 ± 0.81b | 63.05 ± 1.12cd | 71.80 ± 2.61d |
| Bavistin | 71.26 ± 0.32c | 38.77 ± 1.13a | 52.24 ± 1.05a |
*Values are mean ± standard error. Means followed by the same letter in a column are not significantly different at P = 0.05 according to analysis of variance and Tukey's HSD test.
HW: water soluble acidic fraction, HM: methanol soluble acidic fraction, NW: water soluble alkaline fraction, NM: methanol soluble alkaline fraction, and M: 80% methanolic extract.
