Quercetin is a typical flavonoid with diverse biological effects, attributable to its free radical scavenging activity. Bioavailability of quercetin aglycone and its glycosides is an important factor for its antioxidant activity in vivo. A severe limitation exists and is imputable to very poor absorption of quercetin when administered orally. To overcome this limitation, development of a value ...

Free radicals involved in a number of diseases due to the oxidative damage to DNA, lipids, and proteins and which can result in failure of cellular functions. Dried plant bulbs and leaves methanolic and ethanolic extracts were prepared. Total antioxidant activities of the methanolic extracts of Romulea ramiflora and Gagea fibrosa were determined using β-caroten-linoleic acid assay. Romulea-...

this study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of the methanolic extracts from male inflorescence of salix aegyptiaca l. grown in iran. the methanolic extract (me) and its three fractions including water (wf), butanol (bf) and chloroform (cf) were prepared and then their antioxidant activities, as well as total phenolic contents, were evaluate...

the present study was designed to explore the flavonoid contents and the radical scavenging activities of 50% ethanol extracts of leaves, stems, rachis and roots of dryopteris erythrosora. the total flavonoid contents in various parts were determined as: stems > roots > rachis > leaves. all extracts from different parts of d. erythrosora showed strong bioactivities. the dpph free radical scaven...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants can be a good replacement for common cancer treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery because they don’t have many side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the free radical scavenging in the presence of medicinal plants. Experimental: For determination of free radical scavenging activity was use...

Salvia genus is one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family. Its species have been used for a wide variety of disorders in the local traditional medicine systems. Therefore, the genus has been the subject of several phytochemical and biological studies. The aim of the study was to identify the major antioxidant compound(s) from the methanol extract of Salvia verticillata using activity-gu...
