Antioxidant activity of defatted methanol extract of D. malabarica bark was studied for its free radical scavenging property on different in vitro models e.g. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxide radical model. The extract showed good dose-dependent free radical scavenging property in all the models except in hydroxyl radical inhib...

The aim of this investigation was to determine the content of total phenolics, antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of methanol extracts from the aerial parts of 11 Korean medicinal salad plants. The highest total phenolic content of the methanol extracts was found in Aster scaber (17.1 mg 100 g(-1)), followed by Ixeris dentate (16.4 mg 100 g(-1)), Aster yomena (12.0 mg 100 g(-1)) and Sedum sa...

A series of 3-styrylchromone derivatives (4-20) were synthesized and the structure-activity relationships for α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activities were analyzed. Among the synthesized compounds, compounds 15 and 20, which contain a catechol moiety, showed both potent 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity (15: EC₅₀=17 µM; 20: EC₅₀=23 µM) and α-gluco...

To uncover the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity, five different extracts of Terminalia arjuna bark were examined. In the present study, the free radical scavenging potential of five extracts of the bark of Terminalia arjuna was assessed by measuring its capability for scavenging 2, 2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydrogen peroxide radical, nitric oxide radicals (NO), ...

Objective(s): 15-Lipoxygenases are one of the iron-containing proteins capable of performing peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in animals and plants. The critical role of enzymes in the formation of inflammations, sensitivities, and some cancers has been demonstrated in mammals. The importance of enzymes has led to the development of mechanistic studies, product analysis, and synthesis of ...

this paper is the first phytochemical and abts cation radical decolorisation activity, cupric reducing antioxidant capacity, anticholinesterase and dna damage protection effect of endemic verbascum pinetorum (boiss.) o. kuntze. phenolic profile of v. pinetorum were qualified and quantified by uhplc-esi-ms/ms analysis. malic acid (47250.61±2504.28 µg/g) and luteolin (7651.96±527.98 µg/g) were fo...

The present investigation highlights the free radical scavenging activity of Melochia corchorifolia, Sida acuta and Saccharum officinarum leaf extracts and their Phenolic contents by determining DPPH, Nitric oxide, Hydroxyl and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity. The shade dried leaves were coarsely powdered and subjected to fractional extraction by using chloroform and ethanol. The extracts...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the free radical scavenging activity and protective properties of the natural product SQGD-IBG-21 isolated from a radioresistant bacterium Bacillus sp. INM-1 and synthetic nitroxyl free radical containing antioxidant 1-ethyl-1-nitroso-3-[4-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine1-oxyl)]-urea (SLENU). It was found a higher reducing power potential for ...

Lamiaceae herbs known for their culinary properties are a rich source of potentially health-beneficial antioxidant polyphenols. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate and prove the in vitro antioxidant activity of five different extracts of aerial parts of the plant Leucas aspera, belonging to the family Lamiaceae on different models namely the DPPH free radical scavenging assay, F...
