Evaluation of antioxidant and free-radical scavenging potential ofArtemisia absinthium

Antifungal and Antioxidant Activities of the Essential Oil from Angelica koreana Nakai

“…Then, 16  μ L of Griess reagent (1% sulfanilamide, 2% phosphoric acid, and 0.1% naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride) was added to each well. After 15 min, the absorbance of the chromophore formed during the diazotization of the nitrite with sulfanilamide and the subsequent coupling with naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride was measured at 546 nm [29]. …”

In vitro antioxidant, DNA-damaged protection and antiproliferative activities of ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts of Centaurea sphaerocephalaL.

“…Plants produce an excessive number of antioxidants to represent a potential source of new molecules and prevent oxidative stress for therapeutic uses (Cragg and Newman 2013). Some medicinal plants have noteworthy potential as natural antioxidants and may be used as protectors against disorders related to oxidative stress (Ting et al 2011, Bora andSharma 2011). However, increasing needs for natural antioxidants have provoked great importance for the discovery of powerful free radical scavengers from plants (Khodaie et al 2012).…”

The Artemisia Genus: A Review on Traditional Uses, Phytochemical Constituents, Pharmacological Properties and Germplasm Conservation

“…Crude aqueous and ethanol extract of aerial parts of the plant possess a significant anti-helmintic property as compared to the drug 'albendazole' (anti-helmintic), against the nematodes found in sheep intestine [73]. Several other biological activities such as anti-parasitic [22]. Anti-microbial [74] anti-oxidant [11] and hepatoprotective [66] are also reported.…”
