Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Ethanol Extract of Lepidium spinosum

Abstract

In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Lepidium spinosum Ard., which is distributed in many regions of the world, were determined. The aerial parts of the plant were dried, powdered and extracted with ethanol. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) of the plant extract were determined using Rel Assay Diagnostics kits. Antimicrobial activities of the plant extract were determined against standard bacterial and fungal strains by agar dilution method. As a result of the studies, the TAS value of the plant extract was determined as 4.550±0.132, the TOS value as 12.610±0.221, and the OSI value as 0.277±0.007. In addition, it has been found to be effective at 25-200 µg/mL against standard bacterial strains and 100-200 µg/mL concentrations against fungal strains. As a result, it was determined that L. spinosum used in our study could be a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial source. In this context, it is thought that natural material may be used in pharmacological designs.

Thermal Degradation and Thermodynamic Properties of Ascorbic Acid, Total Phenolic Content and Antioxidant Activity of Convective Dried Kiwi Fruits

“…On the other hand, ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds are the important antioxidants that are naturally found in fruits and vegetables (Sevindik et al, 2017;. Preservation ability from oxidative stress of the antioxidants result from the free radical scavenging ability, free radical formation suppressing, reducing hydrogen peroxide, and quenching superoxide and singlet oxygen (Akgül et al, 2022;Mohammed et al, 2022;. As an expectation, degradation of these antioxidative compounds generally increases during drying and thus, occurring decrement in the antioxidant activity (Mendez-Lagunas et al, 2017).…”

Chemical Constituents of Essential oil of Syringa vulgaris flowers

“…(Topçu et al, 1999;Demirtas et al, 2013;Sahin Yaglioglu et al, 2013;Aksit et al, 2014;Erenler et al, 2014). Medicinal plants were reported to exhibit considerable biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiproliferative activities (Kına et al, 2021;Korkmaz et al, 2021;Mohammed et al, 2021;Akgül et al, 2022).…”

Assessment of The Phenolic and Flavonoid Content in Certain Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) Cultivars Grown in Northern Tunisia

“…Their role as natural antioxidants helps prevent cell oxidation and thus fight against cell ageing. This is essential in the prevention and treatment of cancer (Kına et al, 2021;Korkmaz et al, 2021;Mohammed et al, 2021). The main phenolic compounds in artichoke are the derivatives of caffeic acid which include the derivatives of caffeoyilquinic acid, chlorogenic acid is the most abundant followed by 1,5-Odicaffeolylquinic acid and 3,4-O-dicaffeolylquinic acid as acid based on the total content of dicaffeoylquinic acid (Lattanzio et al 2009;Petropoulos et al, 2018).…”
