What is Antioxidant capacity and phenol content of selected Algerian medicinal plants about?
Extracts from the bark of Fraxinus angustifolia as well as the leaves of Pistacia lentiscus and Clematis flammula have been investigated for their reducing power, inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation and scavenging capacity on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and H 2 O 2 using in vitro spectrophotometric methods. The results indicate that the best overall antioxidant capacity was shown by extracts of Pistacia lentiscus, followed by Fraxinus angustifolia and Clematis flammula. Pistacia lentiscus aqueous fraction obtained from chloroform partition showed a high and dose-dependant reducing power (IC50 = 50.03 lg/ml), a very high scavenging ability against DPPH radical (IC50 = 4.24 lg/ ml) and an outstanding activity against linoleic acid peroxidation (IC50 = 0.82 lg/ml). Fraxinus angustifolia aqueous fraction issued from chloroform extraction also exhibited a high DPPH scavenging activity (IC50 = 10.0 lg/ml) and a high activity against linoleic acid peroxidation (IC50=5.06 lg/ml). In contrast, it is the organic (chloroform) fraction of Clematis flammula that showed a high activity against linoleic acid peroxidation (IC50 4.6 lg/ml), whereas the aqueous fraction of chlo
