Rutin is a phenolic compound and found in many plant species. Its name is derived from Ruta graveolens a plant that contain this compound. Rutin has many health benefits like it inhibits platelet aggregation, inflammation, hemorrhoid development etc. It is also used in dietary supplements of human beings for its health benefits. Therefore, this study was planned to investigate its other medicin...

Moringa oleifera leaves extracted with methanol and dichloromethane were screened for antioxidant activity. The in vitro cancer antiproliferative and chemopreventive properties were also investigated. Radical scavenging assays with 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2 ́-azino-bis 3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) were used to determine the antioxidant activity. The antiprolif...

the current study evaluated the general toxicity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of extracts obtained from the rhizomes of eremostachys azerbaijanica (labiatae) as well as analyzed the potent extracts using gc-ms. extracts of e. azerbaijanica in n-hexane, dichloromethane (dcm) and methanol (meoh) were prepared using a soxhlet apparatus. the antioxidant activity of the extrac...

objective: the present study was an attempt to study total phenolic content and antioxidant property of the crude ethanolic extract of the roots of azadirachta indica (a. indica). materials and methods: to evaluate the antioxidant properties of the crude extract, some complementary test systems, namely dpph free radical scavenging assay, reducing power assay, and ferrous ion chelating ability a...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by low pulmonary function, inflammation, free radical production, vascular dysfunction, and subsequently a greater incidence of cardiovascular disease. By administering an acute oral antioxidant cocktail to patients with COPD (n=30) and controls (n=30), we sought to determine the role of redox balance in the vascular dysfunction of t...

background and objective: oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogensis of various diseases, including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis. total antioxidant capacity plays a significant role in the body’s antioxidant defense, so its assessment is a matter of the utmost importance. currently, assessment of this capacity is performed in various s...

three native turkish medicinal and aromatic plants (artemisia absinthum, artemisia santonicum and saponaria officinalis) were investigated to analyze their antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and antimicrobial activity. their total antioxidant activity was determined by using a β-carotene bleaching assay and their antimicrobial activity was determined by utilizing an agar disc diffusio...

This study investigated the potential biological activities by determining antioxidant (DPPH Assay), antibacterial (Agar-well Diffusion Method), and antiquorum sensing (Crystal Violet based Microtitre Plate Biofilm Assay) of selected wild tea leaves Mt. Province, namely: Cinnamomum mercadoi S. Vidal, Gaultheria leucocarpa var. cumingiana (S.Vidal), Clausena sanki (Perr.) J.F. Molino mollis (Mer...

Research on the effect of processing on the retention of bioactive components with potential antioxidant activity is gaining importance. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of various processing methods (milling, boiling, pressure cooking, roasting and germination respectively) on the antioxidant components as well as the antioxidant activities in the commonly used pe...

The present study was undertaken to assess in vitro antioxidant and immunomodulatory activity for methanolic extract of Ficus benghalensis Linn. aerial roots (MEFB). Antioxidant activity of (MEFB)was evaluated by reducing power assay and hydrogen peroxide assay. Immunomodulatory activity was evaluated for specific and non-specific immune response by using in vitro assays as plaque forming cell ...
