Free Radical Scavenging Activity of Aesculus Indica Leaves
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

The present study was designed to explore the flavonoid contents and the radical scavenging activities of 50% ethanol extracts of leaves, stems, rachis and roots of Dryopteris erythrosora. The total flavonoid contents in various parts were determined as: stems > roots > rachis > leaves. All extracts from different parts of D. erythrosora showed strong bioactivities. The DPPH free radical scaven...
