in this work, quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) approaches were used to predict the redox potential of 42 phenolic antioxidants. the structures of all compounds optimized by the am1 semi-empirical method and then a large number of molecular descriptors were calculated for each compound in the data set. subsequently, stepwise multilinear regression was applied to select the mos...

The imbalance between pro-oxidants and anti-oxidants leads to generation of oxygen/nitrogen free radicals which are implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. Fagonia arabica is an ethno-pharmacologically important Ayurvedic herb known to have many medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. However, its antioxidant potential has not been investigated ...

The present study investigates the antioxidant potential of the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts Eclipta alba L. Hassk (EAEA) which was widely used as hepatoprotective plant. EAEA was orally administered at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg for 7 days in male Charles Foster rats. The extent of hepatoprotective potential of E . alba was studied by assessing the biochemical para...

the antioxidant potential of crude methanol extract (ce) as well as chloroform (cf), ethyl acetate (ef) and n-butanol (nf) soluble fractions of enhydra fluctuans lour, which is widely used in indigenous system of medicine for different purposes, were studied. the antioxidant potential of extract/different fractions were evaluated using different in vitro antioxidant models. in addition, total a...

Flaxseed is a rich source of different types of phenolics such as lignans, phenolic acids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids and tannins. To date, extensive investigations has been undertaken to demonstrate antioxidant potential of flaxseed phenolics. However, antioxidant potential of all the flaxseed phenolics has not been collectively discussed. Hence, the aim of this article is to highlight the v...

This study was conducted to investigate the chemical and nutritional composition of Artemisia annua leaves in addition to determination of antioxidant potential of their extracts prepared in different solvents. Chemical composition was determined by quantifying fat, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, tocopherol, phytate, and tannin contents. Extraction of A. annua leaves, for antioxidant potential e...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Medicinal plants belong to Lamiaceae family are potential sources of new drugs to improve the treatment of diseases which its treatment is linked to anti-oxidative agents. In this paper, antioxidant potentials of some Lamiaceae species have been evaluated by two methods. Methods: phosphomolybdate assay for total antioxidant capacity and ferric reducing a...
