Abstract

In
the present study, mineral and total phenolic content, radical scavenging
activity, total oxidant status and total antioxidant status of endemic Nepeta viscida species were
investigated. Total phenolic content of Nepeta
Viscida methanol and acetone extracts was determined as gallic acid
equivalent. In the extracts, these values were determined as 128.86 ± 4.52 and
134.78 ± 9.3 μg GAE / mg extract, respectively. BHT was used as a standard for
radical scavenging effect. It was observed that the radical scavenging effect
of Nepeta viscida methanol extract
was similar to that of the synthetic antioxidant BHT and higher than the effect
of acetone extract. TAS, TOS were measured and OSI values were calculated with
TAS and TOS findings. Mineral substances included in the species were
identified by ICP-OES. Nepeta viscida contained
elements (Mn, Zn, Se, Fe, Cu) that were incorporated in the antioxidant enzyme
structure. Furthermore, it was considered that total phenolic content found in Nepeta viscida could be used in
phytotherapeutic studies, especially in antioxidative effect studies due to
their impact against radicals.
