Radical Scavenging Potential of Cleome Viscosa L. and Cleome Burmanni W. & A. (cleomaceae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study evaluates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging and in vitro antioxidant activities of two species of Cleome, C. viscosa and C. burmanni. The antioxidant potential of the methanol extracts of species of Cleome was tested using different assays such as FRAP, DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, superoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The extracts gave positive results for all the assays and the radical scavenging ability was detected to be comparable to those of the corresponding standards. Quantitative estimation of antioxidant phytochemicals, such as phenols, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins were also done in both species of Cleome. The results revealed that the phytochemicals content was greater in C. viscosa when compared to C. burmann

متن کاملIndependent ancient polyploidy events in the sister families Brassicaceae and Cleomaceae.
Recent studies have elucidated the ancient polyploid history of the Arabidopsis thaliana (Brassicaceae) genome. The studies concur that there was at least one polyploidy event occurring some 14.5 to 86 million years ago (Mya), possibly near the divergence of the Brassicaceae from its sister family, Cleomaceae. Using a comparative genomics approach, we asked whether this polyploidy event was uni...
