Antioxidant Activity of Hepatoprotective Silymarin and Silybum marianum L. Extract
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the antioxidant activity evaluation of Silybum marianum L. extract in comparison with the commercial silymarin standard solution (2 mg/mL) and the time-dependent antioxidant capacity by calculating the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-pycryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) reaction rate in the presence of these biosystems. The best result was obtained in the case of S. marianum L. extract, with a double DPPH reaction rate after 1200s in comparison with the commercial silymarin standard solution.
