Free radicals induce numerous diseases by lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation, and DNA damage. It has been reported that numerous plant extracts have antioxidant activities to scavenge free radicals. Whether Polygonum aviculare L. (Polygonaceae) has antioxidant activity is unknown. In this study, dried Polygonum aviculare L. was extracted by ethanol, and the extract was lyophilized. The an...

− A method for simultaneously identifying antioxidative compounds was developed using time-based LC-MS coupled with DPPH assay regardless of the time consuming process. The methanolic extract of Polygonum aviculare (Polygonaceae) showed significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. Time-based DPPH assay for simultaneous identification of active compounds from the extracts of P. aviculare was us...

background: herbal medicine is a new complementary strategy for treating diseases such as cancer. however, its mechanism of action is not clear yet. this study investigates antitumor efficacy of polygonum avicular extract on mcf-7 cell line . methods: mcf-7 cells were treated with different concentrations of (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300,350 400 ng/âµl) polygonum avicular at different time inter...

Peer-reviewed research is not available to explain Polygonum aviculare L. (prostrate knotweed) control in Cynodon dactylon (bermudagrass) turf, yet P. common and troublesome managed C. turf. Six experiments were conducted determine options for golf roughs Hanover, VA. Studies evaluated hormone, photosystem, ALS inhibiting herbicides. Among a group of eighteen herbicide treatments, only six cont...

BACKGROUND: Total phenolics content, antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity of the methanol extracts from leaf parts of 13 Korean traditional salad plants were investigated in order to determine their properties. RESULTS: The highest phenolics content (mg ferulic acid equivalents kg−1 dry weight (d.w.), omit one) was found in methanol extracts from Polygonum aviculare, at 293.7 ± 6.0, followed b...

to evaluate the effect of crop rotation on spatial dynamic of fumaria vaillantti and polygonum aviculare a study was conducted at the three farms with different rotation in the astan ghods razavi filed that located at 10 kilometers southeast of mashhad, iran. the rotations were alfalfa- fallow- wheat, canola- fallow- wheat, and wheat- fallow- wheat. at the crosses of 7×7 m quadrangular grids ne...

The genus Polygonum encompasses approximately 300 species widely distributed around the world, among which 120 Polygonum species grow in China. Among the rich species, 81 of them are widely used in traditional Chinese and folk medicines. In recent years, several studies have found that the genus Polygonum posseses a variety of biological activities including antioxidation, antimicrobial, antitu...
