Determination of Antioxidant activity of Hypericum perforatum
Öz
Hypericum perforatum has been used by
physicians since ancient times to treat certain diseases. Nowadays,
phytotherapy has an important place for people to turn to natural treatments.
It is significant to examine the bioactivity of H. perforatum which is of pharmacological importance and used as a
traditional medicine. H. perforatum
plant was harvested in mountainous area in Celikhan region of Adiyaman. This
plant was subjected to extraction process and the antioxidant capacity of the
obtained extract was examined. H.
Perforatum was found to have remarkable activity when evaluated for DPPH
free radical scavenging activity and FRAP reducing power activity.
