The antioxidant properties of the above-ground parts introducents of the genus Isodon (Schrad. Ex Benth.) Spach

Abstract

It was determined the total antioxidant activity above-ground parts of plants Isodon japonicus (Burman) H. Hara and I. japonicus (N. Z. Burm) Hara var. glaucocalyx (Maxim.) H. W. Li, introduced in M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of NAS of Ukraine (Right-bank Forest-steppe). Used spectrophotometric method with an alcoholic solution of the radical DPPH. Samples of raw plant extracted with water, methanol and ethanol. The high antioxidant activity was obtained in methanol 82-83%. Phase development of plant did not has a cardinal effect on higher result. Installed the high antioxidant activity the species of genus Isodon, introduced in Ukraine. The obtained results allow us to consider them as a potential source of raw materials to creating products with the targeted antioxidant effect.
