نویسندگان
چکیده
Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Pers. is a soft-wooded tree belonging to the family Leguminoseae. Leaves are considered to be excellent sources of vitamin C and calcium The antioxidant activity of 70% acetone and 50% ethanol extracts of leaves of Sesbania grandiflora were determined by DPPH radical scavenging method. Among the two different extracts acetone extract was found to be more efficient.

Biological activities and antibacterial biomarker of Sesbania grandiflora bark extract.
In the present study, the fractionated extracts of Sesbania grandiflora bark were prepared and evaluated for their biological activities. The ethyl acetate fractionate (EAF) showed high antioxidant activity along with free radical scavenging and reducing mechanisms. The free radical scavenging antioxidant activity of EAF was 69.3 ± 3.6% where its Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity was 13.6 ...
متن کاملAntioxidant, Antibacterial, and Cytoprotective Activity of Agathi Leaf Protein
In the present study a protein termed agathi leaf protein (ALP) from Sesbania grandiflora Linn. (agathi) leaves was isolated after successive precipitation with 65% ammonium sulphate followed by purification on Sephadex G 75. The column chromatography of the crude protein resulted in four peaks of which Peak I (P I) showed maximum inhibition activity against hydroxyl radical. SDS-PAGE analysis ...

Background & Aim: Medicinal plants can be a good replacement for common cancer treatment including chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery because they don’t have many side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on the free radical scavenging in the presence of medicinal plants. Experimental: For determination of free radical scavenging activity was use...
