Polyphenolic compounds from Geranium pratense and their free radical scavenging activities

Effect of culture pH on the antioxidant properties of Antrodia camphorata in submerged culture

“…Phenolics and polysaccharides from medicinal mushrooms have been considered to be responsible for their effective antioxidant activities (Akdemir et al, 2001;Liu et al, 1997;Song and Yen, 2002). The phenolic and polysaccharide contents of the MEF and the MEM in various culture pH are shown in Table 3.…”

Composition chimique et activités antibactériennes, antifongiques et antioxydante de l'huile essentielle dePelargonium asperumEhrh.exWilde des Comores

“…Certaines espèces de géranium sont cultivés pour l'ornement, l'alimentation et la médecine traditionnelle : acné, brûlure, eczéma, plaie, impétigo, mycoses cutanées, arthrites, tendinites, épistaxis, hémorroïdes, couperose, phlébite, asthénie profonde, antidiarrhéique, antidiabétique (Watt & Breyer-Brandwijk, 1962 ;Akdemir et al, 2001 ;Yi et al, 2008). Selon Peterson (2005), l'huile de géranium est utilisée pour des problèmes de vésicule biliaire, les ulcères gastriques, la jaunisse, le foie, des problèmes de sté-rilité, de calculs urinaires, d'inflammations et de flux menstruels trop abondants.…”

Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of the Constituents ofFlemingia paniculata.

“…The molecular formulae of these two compounds are the same, and they are very closely related biosynthetically (Rahman et al, 2004). Flavonoids are known to exhibit a range of activities including anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antiviral, and hepatoprotective which may, in some measure, be due to their ability to scavenge free radicals (Akdemir et al, 2001;Saija et al, 1995). Genistein and 2 -hydroxygenistein were reported to be potent inhibitors of indole-3-acetic acid oxidase activity (Ferrer et al, 1992).…”
