Phytochemical analysis and in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of hydroalcoholic extracts of the leaves of Salacia kraussii

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Argania spinosa’s Extracts on the Antioxidant Activity and Mild Steel Corrosion’s Inhibition in 1 M HCl

“…The AO and HERA ability for scavenging the DPPH radical was determined as described by Zimila et al with minor modifications [28]. Briefly, a serial dilution (8-0.5 mg/mL) of AO and HERA was prepared in methanol while the standard antioxidants' (quercetin and gallic acid) concentrations were 200 to 12.5 µg/mL.…”

“…The FRAP was measured by relying on the protocol described by Zimila et al with minor modifications [28]. Briefly, 400 µL of methanol, AO, HERA, and standard antioxi-dants were mixed with 1.25 mL of 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.6) and 1.25 mL of 1% w/v K 3 Fe(CN) 6 .…”

The Effects of Solvents Polarity on the Phenolic Contents and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power of <em>Cassytha filiformis, Commiphora schlechteri, Ochna natalitias</em> and <em>Pavetta assimilis</em>

“…But since the last decades of the 20th century, traditional medicine has gained more respect from governments and primary care providers, which resulted in the creation, in 1990, of the Association of Traditional Healers (AMETRAMO) [5]. Although the published bibliographies mention the ethnobotanical aspects of Mozambican plants used in traditional medicine [5,6,7], some studies on the phytochemical and biological potential were developed by some national authors [8,9]. However, taking into account the rich plant diversity and the vast knowledge of Mozambican communities about the use of plants in the therapeutic scenario, this investigation is still far from being considered significant, so more phytochemical and ethnopharmacological studies of Mozambican medicinal plants need to be urgently carried out.…”
