Pterospartum tridentatum (L.) Willk., Gomphrena globosa L. and Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf. are examples of medicinal plants with antioxidant properties on their own, but that can be improved when mixed. In the present work, the antioxidant activity and phenolic compounds were determined in the infusions prepared from the individual plants, and from mixtures of these plants in different prop...

Steeping of Kenop flower (Gomphrena globosa L.) is widely used as a health herbal drink that contains betacyanin and flavonoid compounds act antioxidants. This study aims to determine the equivalence vitamin C levels in steeping Flower L) using DPPH method. The method simple, fast, inexpensive can be measure ability an antioxidant. Data analysis absorbance was calculated TAC (Total Antioxidant ...

Based on the ethno pharmacological evidence, the present study was performed to investigate the anticancer activity of chloroform extract of aerial parts of Gomphrena globosa against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced solid tumor. Acute toxicity study shows that, the extract was non-toxic up to 2000 mg / kg body wt. Administration of 200 or 400 mg / kg p.o. in mice, caused significant redu...

A new aurone 1 and two known substances, aurantiamide acetate (2) and tiliroside (3), were isolated from the ethanolic extract of Gomphrena agrestis. The structural determination of 1 was based on spectroscopic and spectrometric data. The substance was defined as (E)-3'-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-4,5,6,4'-tetrahydroxy-7,2'-dimethoxyaurone. Biological activity of the ethanolic crude extract and iso...
