In this study, n-butanol fraction (KBF) and aqueous fraction (KAF) isolated from methanol extract of Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm. leaves were evaluated for their antioxidant potential using (ABTS) 2, 2-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) assay, Reducing power assay and Superoxide anion radical scavenging assay. These fractions were also studi...

Radical Scavenging capacity Abstract: In-vitro antioxidant activity of methanolic extract of Rhinacanthus nasutus leaves was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging assay and Reducing Power assays. Ascorbic acid was used as standard and positive control for both the analysis. All the analysis was made with the use of UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The methanolic extract of Rhinacanthus nasutu...

the present study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of methanolic extract of ervatamia coronaria leaves (apocynaceae) in various systems. dpph radical, superoxide anion radical, nitric oxide radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging assays were carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the extract. the antioxidant activity of methanolic ex...

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 ...

Traditional plants contain various secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids and phenolic compounds which have shown antioxidant activities that include scavenging free radical species and inhibiting the production of reactive species resulting from normal cell metabolism. The present study was undertaken to analyse the thin layer chromatography and antioxidant activities of...

BACKGROUND The use of plants and their derived substances increases day by day for the discovery of therapeutic agents owing to their versatile applications. Current research is directed towards finding naturally-occurring antioxidants having anticancer properties from plant origin since oxidants play a crucial role in developing various human diseases. The present study was designed to investi...

Various methods employed in evaluating antioxidant activities of various samples gives varying results depending on the specificity of the free radical or oxidant used as a reactant. This study investigated the antioxidant /radical scavenging properties of the methanolic extract of Vernonia amygdalina (MEVA) leaves and studied the relationship between the assay methods. Antioxidant capacity of ...

Antioxidant activity of defatted methanol extract of D. malabarica bark was studied for its free radical scavenging property on different in vitro models e.g. 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide, superoxide, hydroxyl radical and lipid peroxide radical model. The extract showed good dose-dependent free radical scavenging property in all the models except in hydroxyl radical inhib...

antioxidants are vital substances which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical induced oxidative stress. a variety of free radical scavenging antioxidants exist within the body which many of them are derived from dietary sources like fruits, vegetables and teas. in this study the antioxidant activity and radical scavenging activity of methanolic extracts of s...

− A method for simultaneously identifying antioxidative compounds was developed using time-based LC-MS coupled with DPPH assay regardless of the time consuming process. The methanolic extract of Polygonum aviculare (Polygonaceae) showed significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. Time-based DPPH assay for simultaneous identification of active compounds from the extracts of P. aviculare was us...
