Özet
In present study, the extracts prepared using aerial parts and roots of Alchemilla persica Rothm. were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging assay and measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. HPLC analyses of the extracts were also performed using some phenolic acid and flavonoid standards. The hydro-methanolic extract of the aerial parts was found to possess significant antioxidant activity in both assays. IC50 values for the aerial parts and roots are determined as 0.055 M and 0.151 M respectively against DPPH radical. In TBARS assay, the MDA level of the aerial parts was found to be 5.9 nmol/ml, while 19.08 nmol/ml for the root extracts.
