Spondias purpurea is used in folk medicine to treat diarrhea and diuresis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical profile and antioxidant and antiulcer activities of the hexane extract of the leaves of S. purpurea (SpHE). Phytochemical profile was evaluated via thin layer chromatography (TLC) and HPLC. SpHE was screened for antioxidant activities using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, a...

One of the components that make up essential oils is phenolic compounds which are widely containedin leaves and bark Balik Angin plant (Alphitonia incana (Roxb.) Teijsm. & Binn. ex Kurz).This study aimed to identify antioxidant activity from thebark plant. The isolation using hydrodistillation compoundswere analyzed gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Qualitatively antioxidantacti...

An in vitro propagation system was developed to obtain shoot and root cultures from the Andean spice Sanicula graveolens (Apiaceae). Propagation of shoots, roots and plantlets was achieved by the temporary immersion system. The free radical scavenging effect of the methanol/water (7:3 v/v) extracts was determined by the discoloration of the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). Total ph...

BACKGROUND Solanum xanthocarpum (Solanaceae) has been used for treatment of many infectious and degenerative diseases in traditional medicine. Present study reports the medicinal efficacy of S. xanthocarpum fruit as antioxidant, anticancer and anti HIV agents. METHODS Extracts were prepared using Soxhlet apparatus and partially characterized by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Total flavonoid...

Aromatic plants and essential oils have many applications in medicine, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, the food industry. The oil of flowering aerial parts Achillea grandifolia, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed for its constituents investigated antimicrobial radical scavenging activity. characterized a high amount oxygenated monoterpenes (72.7%) with 1,8-cineole (29.2%) camphor (23.4%) b...

The essential oil obtained from the fresh leaves of Zanthoxylum alatum was analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Fourteen components were identified, and linalool (30.58%), 2-decanone (20.85%), β -fenchol (9.43%), 2-tridecanone (8.86%), β -phellandrene (5.99%), Sabinene (4.82%), and α -pinene (4.11%) were the main components. The EO and methanolic extract of Z. alatum exhibi...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the free radical scavenging potential and high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprinting of Indigofera tinctoria (I. tinctoria). Phytochemical analysis was carried out using standard methods, and free radical scavenging activity of the plant was determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazy (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide a...

Grewia tenax (Forssk.) Fiori (Malvaceae) grows in the Arabian Peninsula and is used for several medicinal purposes. To characterize dermatological bioactivities of G. tenaxin terms its antimelanoma, antityrosinase antioxidant activities. Cytotoxicity was assessed by cell proliferation mitochondrial viability assays. Ability to inhibit mushroom tyrosinase scavenge free radicals were evaluated an...

ABSTRACTA study was conducted with the purpose of comparing antioxidant properties aquadest extracts three varieties red rice straw: Memberamo, Ciherang, and Barak Cenana. The extraction done using ultrasound-assisted (UAE) technique. compound profiling phenolic compounds in were by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) gas (GC). activity measurements DPPH FRAP assays, garlic acid as standard. total ...
