To investigate the antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts of Lantana camara (L. camara) various parts and the determination of their total phenolics content.
The extract was screened for possible antioxidant activities by free radical scavenging activity(DPPH), xanthine oxidase inhibition activity and Griess-Ilosvay method.
The results showed that all the plant parts possessed antioxidant properties including radical scavenging, xanthine oxidase inhibition and nitrites scavenging activities. The antioxidative activities were correlated with the total phenol. The leaves extract of L. camara was more effective than that of other parts.
This study suggests that L. camara extracts exhibit great potential for antioxidant activity and may be useful for their nutritional and medicinal functions.
研究马缨丹(Lantana camara)各部位甲醇提取物的抗氧化活性及其总酚含量的测定。
通过自由基清除活性(DPPH)、黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制活性和格里斯-伊洛什韦方法筛选提取物可能的抗氧化活性。
结果表明,该植物的所有部位均具有抗氧化特性,包括自由基清除、黄嘌呤氧化酶抑制和亚硝酸盐清除活性。抗氧化活性与总酚相关。马缨丹叶提取物比其他部位的提取物更有效。
本研究表明,马缨丹提取物具有很大的抗氧化活性潜力,可能因其营养和药用功能而有用。
