PURPOSE Gardenia jasminoides is a traditional medicinal plant rich in anti-inflammatory flavonoids and phenolic compounds and used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain. In this present study, antioxidant potential of Gardenia jasminoides leaves extract was evaluated by using various antioxidant assays. METHODS Various antioxidant assays such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (D...

About 12,000 chemical compounds isolated from medicinal plants and used to conduct crucial biological functions. These phytochemicals offer long-term health benefits for humans, thus they can be effectively treat a variety of human ailments. The goal this study was assess the in vitro free radical scavenging antibacterial activities glycoside, flavonoid alkaloid extracts Tilia cordata plant. Ac...

In this present study our aim was to evaluate In vitro antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of methanolic extracts of Bauhinia variegata Linn. Different parts of Bauhinia variegata like leaves, bark and flowers have free radical scavenging activity by hydroxyl radical scavenging method. All extracts have different level of antioxidant activity. Methanol extracts was found to be goo...

conclusions according to the obtained data, synthesized pyridine based chalcones (3a-3j) could be proposed as potential antioxidant lead compounds. background natural chalcones and also their synthetic derivatives have attracted increasing attention due to various pharmacological applications. development and discovery of new chalcones with antioxidant activities is one of the attracting areas ...

Aims: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of methanolic root extract of onosma hispidum (Ratanjot) by in-vitro methods. Methods: DPPH free radical and ABTS radical scavenging activity estimation with total phenolic and flavonoid content methods were used to evaluate antioxidant activity while egg albumin denaturation method and HRBC membrane stabilization methods were use...

The free radical scavenging potential of the leaves of A. squamosa was studied by using different antioxidant models of screening. The ethanolic extract at 1000 microg/ml showed maximum scavenging of the radical cation, 2,2-azinobis- (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) observed upto 99.07% followed by the scavenging of the stable radical 1,1-diphenyl, 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) (89.77 %)...

BACKGROUND Existing populations of Cryptocarya latifolia (Lauraceae) are rapidly declining as a consequence of their substitutive use for Ocotea bullata. The uncontrolled and excessive removal of the bark and roots of this species has led to the death of many of these plants and may eventually result in its depletion in the natural habitat. MATERIALS AND METHODS The secondary metabolites from...

BACKGROUND Arctium lappa, known as burdock, is widely used in popular medicine for hypertension, gout, hepatitis and other inflammatory disorders. Pharmacological studies indicated that burdock roots have hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, free radical scavenging and antiproliferative activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity by DPPH...
