The study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract of Salix caprea L. (Salicaceae) flowers. The extract was found to possess a large amount of polyphenols and also exhibited a high reducing ability. The extract significantly and dose dependently scavenged DPPH,
BACKGROUND
Salix caprea L. is an ornamental plant with prominent antioxidant activity. In the last decades Salix caprea bud extracts (SCBEs) have been used for the treatment of oxidative stress related disorders.
OBJECTIVE
A large part of cellular functions depends on the amount of intracellular
Chemoprevention of free radical-mediated diseases including cancer by natural products is an emerging discipline due to its wider applicability and acceptance. The present study deals with the chemopreventive effect of Salix caprea against phorbol ester-induced oxidative stress and tumor promotion
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the chemical composition and pharmacological potential of hydro distillate from Salix caprea inflorescence.
METHODS
Fresh flowers were subjected to conventional hydrodistillation. Antioxidant activity was assessed as free radical scavenging capacity (RSC) towards 2,
