In vitro antioxidant activities of methanol extracts of five Phyllanthus species from India

Antidiabetic and in vitro antioxidant potential of Hybanthus enneaspermus (Linn) F. Muell in streptozotocin–induced diabetic rats

“…Nitric oxide scavenging activity depends upon the concentration of the extract plant. It shows this scavenging activity is useful for the prevention from disease in various types caused by excessive NO generation in the human body [28] . Hydroxyl radical is highly reactive in nature.…”

Pedalium murex Linn (Pedaliaceae) fruits: a comparative antioxidant activity of its different fractions

“…Many antioxidant compounds, naturally occurring from plant sources, have been identified as free radical or active oxygen scavengers. Recently, interest has increased considerably in finding naturally occurring antioxidants for use in foods or medicinal materials to replace synthetic antioxidants [6] . It has been demonstrated that plants, containing high amounts of secondary metabolites like phenolic have been identified as a free radical or active oxygen scavengers and can prevent damages caused by oxidative stress [19][20][21] .…”

“…It has been demonstrated that plants, containing high amounts of secondary metabolites like phenolic have been identified as a free radical or active oxygen scavengers and can prevent damages caused by oxidative stress [19][20][21] . Increasing experimental evidence has suggested that these compounds can affect a wide range of cell biological functions by virtue of their radical scavenging properties [6] . The intake of antioxidants such as polyphenols has been effective in the prevention of many diseases [6] .…”

“…When the generation of the active oxygen-free radical is overgrown many degenerative diseases, such as brain dysfunction, cancer, heart diseases, age-related degenerative conditions, declination of the immune system, cancer, coronary arteriosclerosis, ageing processes, carcinogenesis, gastric ulcer and DNA damage arise [5][6][7][8][9] . Thus, it is essential to develop and utilize effective natural antioxidants so that they can protect the human body from free radicals and retard the progress of many chronic diseases.…”
