Toplam 223 atıf DOI
The methanol and aqueous extracts of three endemic Centaurea species (C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen, C. pyrrhoblephara and C. antalyense) were investigated for their antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activities. The antioxidant activities of these extracts were evaluated by in vitro models including, phosphomolybdenum assay, free radical scavenging assays (DPPH and ABTS), β-carotene/linoleic acid test system, metal chelating assay, FRAP assay, ferric and cupric reducing power. Cholinesterase inhibitory activities were examined using Ellman's colorimetric method. Total phenol, flavonoid, and saponin contents were also measured. Among the six Centaurea extracts evaluated, the highest antioxidant abilities were obtained from C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen. Methanolic extracts from C. polypodiifolia var pseudobehen and C. antalyense had a noticeable inhibition towards AChE and BChE. These findings suggest that Centaurea species could be an anticholinesterase agent and antioxidant resource in some industries, such as food, pharmacology, and cosmetics. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects (against cholinesterase, tyrosinase, α-amylase and α-glucosidase) of ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous extracts from Astragalus lagurus (Fabaceae) were investigated with spectrophotometric methods. Antioxidant capacity were evaluated by using different assay including free radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS), reducing power (FRAP and CUPRAC), phosphomolybdenum, and metal chelating experiments. Total phenolic and flavonoid content was also determined as 20.34-20.72 mg GAEs/g and 19.58-31.10 mg REs/g, respectively. Generally, A. lagurus ethyl acetate and aqueous extracts were observed to possess higher antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects compared to methanol extract. The aqueous extract exhibited the strongest free radical scavenging activity on DPPH (20.65 mg TEs/g) and ABTS (67.43 mg TEs/g) as well as on reducing power tests (73.98 mg TEs/g for CUPRAC and 53.49 mg TEs/g for FRAP). ş-Amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition were found to be 0.12-0.56 and 1.45-1.82 mmol ACAEs/g. These findings suggest that A. lagurus could provide natural biologically active agents to be used in food and pharmaceutical industry.
