Total Antioxidant and Oxidant Status and DPPH Free radical activity of Euphorbia eriophora

Abstract

Plants have been used for many purposes in different communities. Plants used in alternative medicine since ancient times have been the main material in the treatment of many diseases. In this context, it is very important to determine the biological potential of plants. In our study, total antioxidant status, total oxidant status, oxidative stress index and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of Euphorbia eriophora Boiss. were determined. The aerial parts of the plant were extracted with ethanol in a Soxhlet device. TAS, TOS and OSI values of the plant extract were determined using Rel Assay kits. In addition, the free radical scavenging activity of the plant extract was measured by the DPPH method. As a result of the studies, the TAS value of the plant extract was 5.390±0.227, the TOS value was 20.971±0.348, and the OSI value was 0.390±0.014. The DPPH activity of the plant extract was determined to have an inhibition value of 68.721±1.694% at 2 mg/mL concentration. As a result, in our study, it was determined that E. eriophora has antioxidant potential and can be used as a natural antioxidant agent in this context.

Determination of Total Phenolics, Flavonoids, Carotenoids, β-Carotene and DPPH Free Radical Scavenging Activity of Biscuits Developed with Different Replacement Levels of Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) Peel, Flesh and Seeds Powders

“…Malkanthi and Hiremath (2020) successfully supplemented pumpkin pulp powder into the traditional string hoppers and noticed a significant increase in antioxidant activity. DPPH free radical scavenging activity of a medicinal plant, Euphorbia eriophora was determined and it was concluded that this natural plant can be used as a natural antioxidant agent in different products (Akgul et al, 2022). Das et al (2021) prepared biscuits with blends of pumpkin seeds powder and oats powder and observed increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity in biscuits with increased proportion of pumpkin seeds powder.…”

Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Ethanol Extract of Lepidium spinosum

“…Plants are important natural materials used in complementary medicine. Many studies by different researchers have reported that plants have many important biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-aging, anticancer, antitumor, DNA protective, antiallergic (Mani et al, 2018;Abd Rani et al, 2019;Nisa et al, 2019;Zazharskyi et al, 2019;Nguyen et al, 2020;Cocelli et al, 2021;Dias et al, 2021;Vaou et al, 2021;Akgül et al, 2022). In this context, revealing the biological activities of plants with new studies will reveal the importance of their use in complementary medicine and modern medicine.…”

Phytochemical, Proximate and Mineral Composition, Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Properties Evaluation and Comparison of Mistletoe Leaves from Moringa and Kolanut Trees

“…Botanicals or their preparations are becoming more popular and generally recognised as part of man's and animals' typical diets due to their widespread availability, chemical composition, and medical usefulness (Carratu et al, 2010;Sevindik et al, 2017;Ayodele et al, 2021;Pehlivan et al, 2021). These plant components (e.g., flowers, leaves, root, bark, stem, and so on) are occasionally powdered and used as a food supplement to change, restore, or correct physiological functioning in humans and animals (Carratu et al, 2010;Kına et al, 2021;Oloruntola et al, 2021;Akgül et al, 2022). Botanicals are useful in the prevention, management, and treatment of a variety of ailments in the past (Na-Bangchang et al, 2014;Oloruntola et al, 2021;Uysal et al, 2021).…”
