The paper presents the antioxidant activity evaluation of Silybum marianum L. extract in comparison with the commercial silymarin standard solution (2 mg/mL) and the time-dependent antioxidant capacity by calculating the free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-pycryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) reaction rate in the presence of these biosystems. The best result was obtained in the case of S. marianum L. extract, with a...

Curcumin metabolites namely curcumin monoglucuronide and curcumin diglucuronide were synthesized using an alternative synthetic approach. The anti-oxidant potential of these curcumin glucuronides was compared with that of curcumin using DPPH scavenging method and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay. The results show that curcumin monoglucuronide exhibits 10 fold less anti-oxidant ac...

Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms possess many antioxidants like glutathione, ascorbic acid etc. Two skin creams of the ethyl acetate extract of E.crassipes were evaluated for its antiageing efficacy by DNA damage inhibition assay and DPPH radical scavenging assay. The DNA damage inhibition and DPPH radical scavenging ability offered by the skin creams increased with increase in concentration ...

Comparative analysis of antioxidant capacity was performed using FRAP and DPPH methods on extracts containing carotenoids acquired from fruits of Sea buckthorn. The examination included nine varieties of Sea buckthorn growing in the comparative cultivation. Conducted analysis allowed to compare the antioxidant capacity with carotenoids content measured with spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. ...

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Senecio desfontainei afforded one new benzoxepine derivative, senecioside (1) along with eleven known compounds (2-12). Their structures were assigned from H and C NMR spectra, DEPT and 2D COSY, NOE, HSQC and HMBC NMR experiments. All these compounds were tested for antioxidant activity in the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scaven...

The aim of this research were to determine antioxidant activity from different polarities beans extracts of five legumes beans using two methods of antioxidant testing which were DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2’azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and correlation of total phenolic, flavonoid and carotenoid content in various extracts of five legumes beans with th...
