Determination of Some Antioxidant and Antiradical Properties of T.Polium Ethanol Extract

Abstract

T. Polium, a member of the Lamiaceae family, is a traditional herb used in the treatment of various diseases. In this study, in vitro antioxidant and antiradical properties of T. Polium ethanol extract collected in Ağrı-Patnos were investigated. For this purpose, total antioxidant activity according to ferric thiocyanate method, 2,2 Diphenyl 1 picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, FRAP and CUPRAC reduction forces were used. BHA, Trolox and pirogallol study results, which are standard antioxidants, were compared with the results of the plant. According to the results of the study, it was determined that especially the total antioxidant capacity of T. Polium ethanol extract was close to the standards, and the other antioxidant activities were lower than the standards.
