The in vitro screening for acetylcholinesterase inhibition and antioxidant activity of medicinal plants from Portugal

Modulation of some markers of erectile dysfunction and malonaldehyde levels in isolated rat penile tissue with unripe and ripe plantain peels: identification of the constituents of the plants using HPLC

“…The use of antioxidants has been reported to ameliorate oxidative stress via scavenging of free radicals and chelation of transition metals (Adefegha et al 2015;Ademiluyi et al 2015). So far, polyphenols which are abundant in plant-based human diet such as fruits and vegetables have been reported to be efficient in the management of ED and other related diseases such as hypertension with little or no side effects (Ferreira et al 2006;Oboh et al 2015;Akomolafe et al 2016).…”

The Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of the Essential Oils of <i>Marrubium vulgare</i> Growing Wild in Eastern Algeria

“…The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of essential oil was determined using the Mueller Hinton broth (MHB) dilution method [29]. All tests were performed in MHB supplemented with ethanol 5 % [30].…”

“…The ability of M. vulgare oil to scavenge free radicals were assayed with the use of a synthetic free radical compound, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), according to the method employed by Bersuder [29], a volume of 500 µl of each sample was mixed with 50ml of ethanol and (0.02 %, w/v) of DPPH in 99.5 % ethanol. The mixture was shaken vigorously and incubated in the dark.…”

Malva: Food, Medicine and Chemistry

“…In concentration of 0.2 mg mL -1 it showed very strong activity of plasma lipid oxidation inhibition 225 Anthocyanin antibacterial activity "Homemade" anthocyanin samples from the plant were tested against several types of bacteria, and found active against some of them 226 AChE inhibition, antioxidant Ethanolic extract was prepared from aerial parts and tested for acetyl choline esterase inhibition: active only in high concentrations. Antioxidant activity was high 227 Sulfite oxidase purification and kinetics Sulfite oxidase was purified from leaves by acetone fractionation, heat treatment and several analytical methods. The kinetics, optimal pH, optimal tempretaure and the activation energy of the ezyme activity were detemined 228 …”
