the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. in the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (ag nps) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol trolox equivalents g-1 dw (µmol te g-1 dw), ranged from 116.0 ...

objective: boerhaavia elegans l. (nyctaginaceae) is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of kidney disorders, urinary tract disorders and blood purification in baluch tribe. the aim of present study is to evaluate the antioxidant propertyof b. elegans species for the first time. materials and methods: different parts (leaf, stem and fruit) of the plant were extracted by using various solven...

objective: achillea is a traditional medicinal herb which contains different phenol and flavonoid compounds that are responsible for achillea pharmacological effects. we aimed to determine phenol and flavonoid contents, besides antioxidant activities of different extracts from achillea eriophoraa (a. eriophora) dc. and achillea biebersteinii (a. biebersteinii) afan. (endemic species in iran) an...

The rational design of 4-hydroxycoumarins with tailor-made antioxidant activities is required nowadays due to the wide variety of pharmacologically significant, structurally interesting of coumarins and researcher orientation toward green chemistry and natural products. A simple and unique coumarins have been achieved by reaction of 4-hydroxycoumarin with aromatic aldehyde accompanied with the ...

Coumarins are secondary metabolites that are widely distributed within the plant kingdom, some of which have been extensively studied for their antioxidant properties. The antioxidant activity of coumarins assayed in the present study was measured by different methods, namely the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH(•)) method, cyclic voltammetry and the antioxidant capacity against peroxyl rad...

The antioxidant activity of the crude n-hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol extracts from 25 species belonging to the Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae, and Solanaceae families collected at natural reserves from the Eje Cafetero Ecorregión Colombia, were evaluated by using the spectrophotometric 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical-scavenging method. The strongest antioxidant ...
