Flavonoid Compounds from the Herb of Krokot (Lygodium microphyllum) and their antioxidant activity against DPPH
Journal Title: Journal of Mathematical and Fundamental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
Six flavonoid compounds, kaempferol (1), quercetin (2), acacetin (3), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), and isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), were isolated from the methanol extract of the Lygodium microphyllum herb. The chemical structures of compounds 1-6 were identified on the basis of spectroscopic evidence and comparison with previously reported spectral data. Compounds 1-6 were isolated for first time from this plant. Their antioxidant activity against DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) was evaluated. Among the compounds, quercetin (2) showed high antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 6.94 ± 0.03 μg/mL.
Enhanced Hydrogen Storage Capacity over Electro-synthesized HKUST-1
HKUST-1 [Cu3(1,3,5-BTC)2] (BTC = benzene-tri-carboxylate) was synthesized using an electrochemical method and tested for hydrogen storage. The obtained material showed a remarkably higher hydrogen uptake over reported HK...
C-Γ-hyperideal Theory in Ordered Γ-semihypergroups
Our purpose in this article is to characterize the properties of C-Γ-hyperideals in ordered Γ-semihypergroups. As an application of the results of this paper, the corresponding results of ordered semihypergroups can also...
Implication of Negative Temperature in the Inner Horizon of Reissner-Nordström Black Hole
This paper reconsiders the properties of Hawking radiation in the inner horizon of a Reissner-Nordström black hole. Through the correlation between temperature and surface gravity, it is concluded that the temperature of...
Optimal Vaccination and Treatment Schedules in a Deterministic Avian influenza Model
In this study, a transmission model of the Avian influenza disease was developed and analyzed in view of optimization of vaccination and medical treatment. The model is a host-vector model. We focussed on control of Avia...
Activity of Caprine CSN1S2 Protein Reducing the COX-2 and IL-17 Expression of Aorta Tissue in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Rat
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a degenerative disease that leads to increased inflammation and cyclooxygenase protein production, which causes tissue abnormalities. The aim of this study was to determine the effect o...
