Phytochemical screening and evaluation of antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, anti-proliferative and calcium oxalate anti-crystallization activities of Micromeria fruticosa spp. brachycalyx and Rhus coriaria

Pharmacological and Antioxidant Activities of Rhus coriaria L. (Sumac)

“…In addition, sumac extract also showed a strong antioxidant and scavenging activity measured by the α, α-Diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DDPPH) scavenging activity assay [ 28 , 47 ]. Another recent study by Taskin et al revealed that methanolic extract of sumac leaves exhibited a potent antioxidant and scavenging activity in DPPH, FRAP, CUPRAC, and ABTS assays [ 54 ]. Interestingly, a recent study by Heydari et al showed that sumac fruit supplementation led to significant weight loss, decrease of waist circumference, and body mass index in obese patients [ 55 ].…”

The Influence of Different Extraction Methods/Solvents on Composition, Biological Activities and ADMET Predictions of Phenolics in Tribulus terrestris

“…The same procedure was applied to thiourea, which is used as a standard.The antiurease activity of the extracts was evaluated using the indophenol method. The findings from this study were given as percent urease enzyme inhibition [28].…”

“…The mixture was then incubated at 37 ± 0.1 °C for 30 minutes based on human body temperature. The absorbance of the samples was measured at 620 nm [28]. Aggregation assay: To prevent the growth of the calcium oxalate monohydrate crystal, different concentrations of plant extracts were added to the crystal we formed, and the absorbance of the mixtures was measured spectrophotometrically at 620 nm, as stated in the relevant literature in the literature [28].…”

The characterization of the crystals was done according to the same literature information.…”

“…These findings show that maceration and soxhlet chloroform extracts have copper (II) ion-reducing potential close to the BHA compound (1.83 mMTE/mg extract). When the methods/solvents were compared, it was determined that the maceration and soxhlet chloroform methods were the most suitable method for CUPRAC activity ( Enzyme inhibitory activity: The inhibition percentage of urease enzyme of different extracts at 12.5 µg/mL concentration obtained from T.terrestris was determined by the indophenol method [28]. It was determined that the ultrasonic bath methanol (21.47%), maceration chloroform (19.22%) and Soxhlet methanol (18.84%) extracts showed stronger anti-urease activity than other extracts.…”
