The objective of this study was to examine the in vitro and in vivo antioxidative properties of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of the leaf of Nasturtium officinale R. Br. (watercress). Extracts were evaluated for total antioxidant activity by ferric thiocyanate method, total reducing power by potassium ferricyanide reduction method, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH*) radical scavenging activ...

BACKGROUND Palm kernel cake (PKC), a by-product of the palm oil industry is abundantly available in many tropical and subtropical countries. The product is known to contain high levels of phenolic compounds that may impede the deleterious effects of fungal mycotoxins. This study focused on the evaluation of PKC phenolics as a potential cytoprotective agent towards aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced ce...

Background: This study was devoted to assessing the inhibitory potential of acetone, methanol, and ethanol extracts of Acroptilon repens against disease-associated enzymes, as well as their antioxidant/antibacterial activity and phytochemical composition. Methods: Comparative assessment using various antioxidant evaluation methods, including ferric reducing antioxidant power, scavenging ability...

The ethanolic extract of Pleurotus florida was studied for its free radical scavenging property on different in vitro models like 1,1 -diphenyl-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH)Assay, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay and in vitro antilipidperoxidative assay using goat liver homogenate and RBC Ghost model. The in vitro Lipid peroxidation (LPO) was inhibited to a good extent by the Pleurotus f...

Kopasanda (Chromolaena odorata L.) is a plant that contains flavonoid compounds can act as antioxidants. This study aims to determine the antioxidant potential of ethanol extract stems, leaves and roots kopasanda by looking at IC50 value. The were extracted maceration using 70% solvent. results activity test FRAP (Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power) method showed very strong with values ??of 23....

Background & Aim: Singhnad Guggulu is a traditional Ayurvedic formula for detoxifying and rejuvenating the joints. The present study was to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of aqueous extract of Singhnad Guggul (AESG). Experimental: α-Amylase inhibition assay by dinitro-salicylic acid method and antioxidant activity by ferric chelating and ferrous reducing assay....

Eleven new 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenols 5a-k were synthesized by reacting aryl hydrazides with 3,5-di-tert butyl 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride. The resulting compounds were characterized based on their IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and HRMS data. 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazide (DPPH) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays were us...

BACKGROUND Sida L., is a medicinally important genus, the species of which are widely used in traditional systems of medicine in India. Pharmacologically, roots are known for anti-tumor, anti-HIV, hepatoprotective, and many other properties. Phenolic antioxidants help in reducing oxidative stress occurring during treatment of such diseases. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to evaluate and compare po...

In the current study, changes in health-promoting substances (phenolics and flavonoids) and antioxidant activity of carrot and mango beverages during storage at 25 and 35°C for 30, 60 and 90 days were investigated. The total phenolic content was determined using Folin–Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant activity was based on the evaluation of free–radical scavenging activity (FRSA) using DPPH rad...

A synthesis of 2-((4-phenyl-5-(2-(p-tolylamino)ethyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)-N’-(1-phenylethylidene)acetohydrazide from 2-[(3-{2-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethyl}-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)sulfanyl]acetohydrazide and acetophenone is reported. The title compound has been tested to possess 1.5-fold higher antioxidant ability than the control, butylated hydroxytoluene, as determi...
