Antioxidant and oxidant status, DPPH activity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents of mountain tea (Sideritis libanotica subsp. kurdica (Bornm.) Hub.-Mor)

Throughout history, people have found several uses for plants. Numerous research demonstrated the widespread application of plants as a kind supplementary therapy. Samples Sideritis libanotica subsp. kurdica (Bornm.) Hub.-Mor, often known mountain tea, were gathered in Iraq and analysed their antioxidant oxidant status, DPPH activity, total phenolic flavonoid contents. The plant's aerial parts utilised this purpose. A soxhlet was used to get ethanol extract. levels antioxidants free radicals measured by Rel assay kits. ability scavenge evaluated using technique. content calculated Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. Aluminum chloride analysis calculate content. results showed that plant had TAS values 7.934±0.179 mmol/L, TOS 10.626±0.275 µmol/L, OSI 0.134±0.001. contents be 129.75±2.37 111.47±3.15 mg/g, respectively. Furthermore, activity at 2 mg/mL 75.15±1.45. S. has been is thus viable natural source context.
