Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Some Spices
Anti-inflammatory and phytochemical properties of twelve medicinal plants used for treating gastro-intestinal ailments in South Africa.
TLDR
The results support the use of the investigated plant in treating pain and cramp related to gastro-intestinal tract infections and to some extent, the observed anti-inflammatory activity could be attributed to the various plant secondary metabolites detected in the plant materials.
Natural Antioxidants: Fascinating or Mythical Biomolecules?
TLDR
A critical evaluation of some common in vitro antioxidant capacity methods is provided and a discussion on the role and controversies surrounding non-enzymatic biomolecules, in particular phenolic compounds and non-phenolic compounds, in oxidative processes are discussed in an attempt of stemming the tidal wave that is threatening to swamp the concept of natural antioxidants.
In vitro pharmacological evaluation and phenolic content of ten South African medicinal plants used as anthelmintics
TLDR
Because of the increased susceptibility of a host to microbial infections and other inflammatory responses associated with helminth infections, the antimicrobial and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory activities of the plants were also investigated.
Antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and mutagenic investigation of the South African tree aloe (Aloe barberae).
TLDR
Activity observed in the bark, leaves and roots of Aloe barberae validates its use in commercial herbal products, ethnobotany and ethnoveterinary medicine by South African communities and small scale farmers to treat various conditions.
