Abstract

Bryophytes, the oldest terrestrial plants, have been studied less than seed plants in terms of their bioactive compounds and therapeutic potential. In this study, the bioactive compounds (total phenolic and flavonoid content, ascorbic acid content, carotenoid content, nitric oxide scavenging and deoxyribose degradation activity) and antioxidant capacities (ferric reducing/antioxidant power) of acrocarp mosses Mnium hornum Hedw. and Mnium lycopodioides Schwägr. were investigated. As a result of the study, the species determined to contain significant amounts of total flavonoids and phenolics were predicted to be potential antioxidant agents.

Mnium hornum ve Mnium lycopodioides Türlerinin Biyoaktif Bileşikleri ve Antioksidan Kapasiteleri

Abstract

En eski karasal bitkiler olan briyofitler, biyoaktif bileşikleri ve terapötik potansiyelleri açısından tohumlu bitkilere göre nispeten daha az incelenmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada, akrokarp karayosunlarından Mnium hornum Hedw. ve Mnium lycopodioides Schwägr türlerinin biyoaktif bileşikleri (toplam fenolik ve flavonoid içeriği, askorbik asit içeriği, karotenoid içeriği, nitrik oksit süpürme ve deoksiriboz bozunma aktivitesi) ve antioksidan kapasiteleri (ferrik indirgeyici/antioksidan güç) araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, önemli miktarda toplam flavonoid ve fenolik içerdiği belirlenen türler, potansiyel antioksidan ajanlar olarak öngörülmüştür.
