Background & Aim:Caryopteris odorata is an aromatic shrub of family verbenaceae growing in tropical to subtropical regions. Various traditional applications of this plant have been documented guiding us to investigate the pharmacological activities and to further investigate the chemical composition. Experimental: Methanolic extract of aerial par...

the ethanol extract of bacopa monnieri linn. (schrophulariaceae) aerial parts (ebm) was investigated for any in vitro and in vivo antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects. ebm was prepared and estimation of total phenolics was carried out. further, the antioxidant activity of ebm was studied using four in vitro models. the amount of total phenolics was estimated to be 47.7 (g of pyrocatechol eq...

objective(s): tyrosinase is a key enzyme in pigment synthesis. overproduction of melanin in parts of the skin results in hyperpigmentation diseases. this enzyme is also responsible for the enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables. thus, its inhibitors are of great importance in the medical, cosmetic and agricultural fields. materials and methods: a series of twelve kojic acid derivatives wer...

background: radioprotective efficacy of prunus avium fruit extract (pae) rich in vitamin a, c, e and anthocyanin was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice brain. materials and methods: in-vitro assays were performed with pae for its antioxidant studies thereafter for in-vivo study, swiss albino mice were divided into five groups. group 1 (control) normal mice. group ...

This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant activities and total phenolic contents of the methanolic extracts from male inflorescence of Salix aegyptiaca L. grown in Iran. The methanolic extract (ME) and its three fractions including water (WF), butanol (BF) and chloroform (CF) were prepared and then their antioxidant activities, as well as total phenolic contents, were evaluate...

Antioxidant activity of Berry (Morus alba var. nigra) was investigated. For superoxide anion radical assay, the superoxide anion radicals were generated by a pyrogallol auto oxidation system, Nitric oxide radical inhibition by the use of Griess Illosvoy reaction and reducing power was determined according to the Oyaizu method. At least this sample was represented a potential antioxidant capacit...

fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in anatolia. thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of juniperus foetidissima willd. and j. sabina l. in this study. in-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...
