Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Activities of Aerial Parts of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. Growing in Bangladesh

Fern constituents: triterpenoids from Adiantum capillus-veneris.

Two new migrated hopane triterpenoids, viz. 4alpha-hydroxyfilican-3-one and fern-9(11)-en-12beta-ol, and olean-18-en-3-one and olean-12-en-3-one as the first example of oleanane compounds from Adiantum ferns were isolated along with many other known triterpenoids from Adiantum capillus-veneris of China and Egypt. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses.

Evaluation of phytochemicals, antioxidant activity and elemental content of Adiantum capillus veneris leaves

The Adiantum capillus veneris was screened for phytochemicals and metal content. The antioxidant activity was also determined by different methods. It was observed that it contains 8.3 % moisture, 11.44 % ethanol extractable matter and 24.00 % water extractable matter. The soxhlet extraction of Adiantum capillus veneris showed the presence of phenolics and terpenoids (2.73 %), fats and waxes (0...

essential oil of arial parts of adiantum capillus-veneris: chemical composition and antioxidant activity

conclusions antioxidant activity of this essential oil could be somehow attributed to high contents of carvone, carvacrol and thymol. the volatile oil of this plant could have the potential of other biological activities, so further experimental investigations are recommended on this essential oil. results analyses of yellow colored essential oil yielded 88.22% of total oil with 67 components. ...

Evaluation of various biological activities of the aerial parts of Scrophularia frigida growing in Iran.

The current study was assigned to evaluate the total phenol, total flavonoid content (TPC, TFC) and antioxidant properties of extracts from the aerial parts of Scrophularia frigida (S. frigida). Extracts were also tested by preliminary phytochemical screening as well as cytotoxic activity against Artemia salina, MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma) and SW-480 (colon carcinoma) and L-929 (normal) cell...
