Ethanolic extract of leaves of Elaeocarpus ganitrus was analyzed for their total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, metal chelating, ABTS+ (2, 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonate) radical scavenging and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities. The extract at 500 ?g/ml showed maximum Iron chelating activity (76.70%) followed by the scavenging of the ABTS+ radical (55.77%) at the sa...

Antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Abutilon indicum leaves was investigated for its free radical scavenging activity by determining the nitric oxide and superoxide radical scavenging activity. Maximum scavenging of nitric oxide and superoxide radical found were 28.74 % and 49. 62 % respectively at 250 μg/ml concentration.

the plants of the genus salvia synthesize several types of secondary metabolites with antimicrobial, cytotoxic, and radical scavenging activities and are used in the folk medicine of different countries. eleven salvia species including s. aegyptiaca, s. aethiopis, s. atropatana, s. eremophila, s. hypoleuca, s. limbata, s. nemorosa, s. santolinifolia, s. sclarea, s. syriaca, and s. xanthocheila ...

the genus helichrysum (asteraceae),is comprised of approximately 500-600 species and used for the treatment of a variety of pathological conditions in folk medicine in many countries. in this study, antioxidant activities of aerial parts ofh. pseudoplicatum were investigated employing various in vitro assay systems, i.e. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) and nitric oxide radical scavenging, ...

the subject handled in this study is the determination of antioxidant activities of extracts obtained from the urginea maritima (l.) baker plant’s leaves and tubers. extractions which were obtained using various solvents as methanol, ethanol, acetone and benzine. the antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined using β-karotene-linoleic acid system. moreover, the free radical scavenging ...

research works proposed that radical scavenging activity of flavonoids is due to ring b, andthe remaining part of the molecule can be disregarded. thus the objective of this work is toobserve whether hydroxytoluenes account the radical scavenging activity of flavonoid and toestablish structural requirements for their activity (as they showed appreciable activity) andelucidate a comprehensive me...

the composition of essential oil isolated from achillea eriophora, achillea millefolium, achillea biebersteinii and achillea tenuifolia growing wild in the south west of iran, was analyzed.  a. eriophora, a. millefolium and a. tenuifolia essential oils were characterized by sabinene, 1, 8-cineole, terpinene-4-ol, ά –bisabolol, p-cymene, β-pinene and α-pinene. the a. biebersteinii essential oil ...

Antioxidant activity of chloroform extract of Aesculus indica leaves was investigated for its free radical scavenging activity by determining the nitric oxide and superoxide radical scavenging activity. Maximum scavenging of nitric oxide and superoxide radical found were 27.62% and 48.65% respectively at 250 μg/ml concentration.

A series of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives were synthesised and tested for their free-radical scavenging activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH·), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical (ABTS·+), superoxide anion radical (O2·-) and nitric oxide radical (·NO) assays. We also studied d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), acetylcholinestera...

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 %)...
