In the last decades, oxidative stress has been recognized as a key process in the physiopathology of several diseases. Consequently, the search for new antioxidant compounds, as well as new antioxidant sources, has increased exponentially. The Lamiaceae family encloses many plant species which are potential sources of antioxidant compounds. The present study evaluates the antioxidant activity of phenolic enrich...
The present study investigated the antioxidant and cytoprotective effects of purified ethanolic extracts of Cytisus multiflorus, Lamium album L. and Thymus citriodorus plants. These extracts showed high antioxidant activity in DPPH and reducing power assays. Using a model of chemical stress induced by potassium dichromate (DK) in human hepatoblastoma HepG2 cells, 50 ug/mL of C. multiflorus, L. album and T. citr...
The present study investigates the phenolic composition and the antioxidant capacity of an ethanolic extract from flowers of C. multiflorus. As determined by HPLC-DAD, ESI-MSn and NMR combined analysis, this extract was mainly composed of chrysin-7-O-β-D-glycopyranoside, and also contained considerable amounts of rutin, a dihydroxyflavone isomer of chrysin and glycosidic derivatives of luteolin and apigenin. Th...

The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro antioxidant potential of Lavandula dentata and Mentha aquatica plant extracts. For that, ethanolic extracts of the two plants were prepared and their phenolic composition was determined through combined methods of HPLC-DAD and ESI-MS. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of the plant extracts was estimated by: i) evaluation of DPPH scavenging potential and ii) monit...
Background and aims: Thymus citriodorus, or lemon thyme, is used as a medicinal plant in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases, although the mechanism of its beneficial properties is poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to determine the antioxidant ability of the polyphenols present in this plant. Methods: An ethanolic extract was prepared and its antioxidant activity was determi...
