DPPH radical scavenging, total antioxidant status, phenolic and element concentrations of the different solvent extracts of Stachys tmolea Boiss. were determined in the study. It was found that, the methanol extract of the plant contains total phenolic substance is 68.91±1.4 mg Gallic acid equivalant/g extract. % DPPH radical inhibition was 64.79±1.98 and total antioxidant status was 2.28±0.21 mmol Trolox Equiv./L. The acetone extract contains total phenolic substance (27.26±1.2 mg GAE/g extract). % DPPH radical was 50.33±2.05, and total antioxidant status was 0.57±0.04 mmol Trolox Equiv./L. It is seen that, the methanol extract has properties close to the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxy anisole (total phenolic substance concentration is 82.33±2.1 mg GAE/g). It is determined that the species also contains elements such as Cu, Mn, and Fe that participate in superoxide dismutase and catalase. In conclusion, the methanolic extract of Stachys tmolea exhibits radical scavenging and antioxidative properties. The species is thought to be a plant that can evaluate in phytotherapy studies due to the important elements it contains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
