abstract

background and objectives:hormozgan province is located in the south of iran, bordering waters of the persian gulf and oman sea. due to the antioxidant potential of plants which might be responsible for their medicinal properties, the antioxidant properties of four medicinal plants of the region were evaluated. methods: the antioxidant properties of chrozophora obliqua, daphne mucronata, salvia aegyptiaca and suaeda vermiculata were evaluated by four different methods: free radical scavenging using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph), metal chelating activity, inhibition of lipid peroxidation by the ferric thiocyanate method, and total reduction capability. the flavonoid and phenolic content of the plants were also analyzed. results: amongst the species, c. obliqua showed the best result in metal chelating activity test, and s. vermiculata showed the best antioxidant activity in the three other assays, and s. vermiculata and s. aegyptiaca had the highest amount of phenolic and flavonoid contents. conclusion: the acceptable antioxidant activity of s. vermiclata as a halophyte plant, could justify the medicinal properties of the plant.

Correlation Between Sun Protection Factor and Antioxidant Activity, Phenol and Flavonoid Contents of Some Medicinal Plants

Long exposure of UV radiation increases risk of skin diseases such as cancer and photoallergic reactions. UV-B (280-320 nm) radiation is mainly responsible for inducing skin problems. Skin protection is a suitable method in the fight against ultraviolet radiation induced damage. Various synthetic agents have been used as photo protective but because of their potential toxicity in humans, they h...
