Antioxidant, Antimicrobial and Antidiarrhoeal Activity of Methanolic Extract of Rumex maritimus L. (Polygonaceae)

Primary GC-MS chemical analysis of alcoholic extract of Emex spinosa (L.) Campd. and screening of their antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic characteristics

“…The procedure was accomplished as formerly reported [30], by the determination of the reduction in violet color of DPPH solution with the calculation of the scavenging activity percentages, and inhibitive concentrations of the investigated samples. In this method, the stocks of the extracts were diluted with methanol to acquire diverse concentrations of each extracted E. spinosa part at different concentrations (5,10,20,30,40, and 50 mg L -1 ). Next, the DPPH solution was prepared at a concentration of 0.135 mM, and successfully 1 mL of the DPPH solution was added to each prepared concentration.…”

“…Many plants of the Polygonaceae family "tiny annual herbs" constituted diverse advantaged biological characteristics, specifically, the bioactivity estimation of Rumex abyssinicus as an antiinflammatory, and wound healing agent [8], antibacterial, and antioxidant properties of Rumex vesicarius [9], Rumex maritimus as a potent antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-diarrhoeal agents [10], bioactivity study of Coccoloba [11], and antimicrobial activity of medicinal plants grown in China [12]. Moreover, the extracts of five genera of the Polygonaceae family known as Fallopia, Oxyria, Persicaria, Polygonum, and Rumex were reported as anti-proliferative agents against HeLa, A431, and MCF7 cells [13].…”
