Antimicrobial activity of Lawsonia inermis L.
Henna (Lawsonia inermis L.) is a small shrub frequently cultivated in India, Persia, and along the African coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Powdered leaves of this plant, in the form of a paste, are used both as a cosmetic and as a remedy for boils, wounds, and some mycotic infections in certain countries of the Middle East. The antibacterial activity of an aqueous extract of henna leaf and some...
متن کاملIn-vitro antioxidant potential of Lawsonia inermis Linnaeus (Seeds)
Antioxidant activities of the ethanol (90%) extract of seeds of Lawsonia inermis L., as well as chloroform, ethyl acetate and water fractions extracted from the 90% ethanol extract were examined by a DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric reducing power (FRPA) as Non-site specific assays and lipid peroxidation (TBARS) as site specific assay. The 90% ethanol extract and its fractions along with...
متن کاملAntioxidant and free radical-scavenging properties of ethanolic extracts of defatted borage (Borago ocinalis L.) seeds
Borage meal exerted a concentration-dependent antioxidant activity in a meat model system. At 2% (w/w), it inhibited (p 0.05) 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), hexanal and total volatile formation in meat by 26.5, 30.5 and 18.6%, respectively. Antioxidant compounds in the meal were concentrated at optimum extraction conditions (in 52% ethanol at 74 C for 62 min) predicted by re...
متن کاملRadical scavenging and reducing power of Salvia mirzayanii subfractions.
In this research, the radical scavenging activity and reducing power of the ethyl acetate fraction and subfractions of Salvia mirzayanii (SM) have been investigated. The plant material was initially extracted with ethanol. The fractionation was carried out using liquid-liquid extraction, then the ethyl acetate fraction, which showed the greatest antioxidant activity, was selected. This fraction...
