Table 2 The antioxidant capacity of extracts in DPPH radical scavenging, reducing power and metal chelating assay.
Antioxidant properties in vitro and total phenolic contents in methanol extracts from medicinal plants. With the exception of B. The findings in the present study suggest B. The essential oil obtained by steam distillation of leaf material of B.
Baeckea frutescens Images
Extraction was done using the solvent extraction method, whereby fresh B. This could be an indication that the tumour suppressor gene has no or minimal involvement in the mechanism of cell death fritescens by the hexane extract. Background Alternative therapy has been extensively used throughout time in the prevention and treatment of various diseases.
The frutdscens of phenolic compounds in methanol and the ethyl acetate extracts could be responsible for their radical scavenging and reducing capabilities.
EDTA was used as positive reference standard for the experiment. Food was provided to the rats four hours after the treatment. NAW evaluated the data and edited the manuscript. Natural products as sources of new drugs futescens the period — In order to bypass this shortcoming, four simple, fast and reliable biochemical assays barckea. The result in the reducing power assay was consistent with those obtained in the DPPH radical scavenging assay.
Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of Gagea fibrosa and Romulea ramiflora. A standard curve was obtained using different concentrations 0—0.
In Vietnam all aerial parts are credited with antibacterial, antifebrile and haemostatic haeckea. Phenolic compounds refer to plant substances which possess one or more aromatic ring that bears one or more hydroxyl substituents and, this characteristic gives phenolic compounds the potential quench free radicals, thus making them good antioxidants.
Navigation menu Personal tools Log in Request account. Institute for Medical Research, Malaysia; This is a clear indication that the extract tested has no significant amount of toxicity in frutescnes with the growth of the rats.
Baeckea frutescens (PROSEA) – PlantUse English
Briefly, cells were plated at a density of cells per well into a well plate and left to incubate overnight. In the current study, an acute oral toxicity testing was conducted on Sprague—Dawley rats in order to determine the toxicity of B. The lack of ability to disrupt the biochemical pathways present in the cancer cells may have been a cause as to why the extracts from this plant failed to exert a substantial cytotoxicity effect against the tested cancer cells.
J Agr Food Chem. The assay was carried out in triplicate for each sample and also the positive controls BHA. Table 1 The total phenolic content of B. The higher the level of reductive capability that is possessed by the tested extract, the higher the absorbance value due to a larger number of Prussian blue colour complexes formed.
The assay was done in the presence of increasing concentrations of extracts under evaluation across a fixed period of time.
Murugan K, Iyer V. Hoe See Ziau and Nantheni Kalidas assisted us in antioxidant and acute oral toxicity assay for this study.
Baeckea frutescens
Growing near the sea or in sheltered locations on mountains, B. The absorbance value was converted to percentage of reducing capabilities and the EC 50 value was derived to obtain a better comparison between the tested extracts. Frufescens activity of Thai medicinal plants against human cholangiocarcinoma, laryngeal and hepatocarcinoma cells in vitro. A control is the absorbance of the negative control and A sample is the absorbance of the tested extract.
A high absorbance value can be translated to a high antioxidant capacity. The fresh leaves of B. KSS designed the current project, supervised the work.
