Lamiaceae family comprise a wide range of medicinal and aromatic plant species with strong antioxidant properties and multiple pharmaceutical applications in folk medicine. Mentha piperita L., Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare L, Rosmarinus officinalis L, Salvia officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus, are edible plants in Libya, belonging to this family. The current work aims to evaluate gallic acid and rutin contents of the methanolic extract of the mentioned plants using RP- High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and assess their antioxidant properties by applying the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The content of gallic acid were found to be considerable in all plants studied, most remarkably in Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus with area under the peak (56.14% and 54.62% respectively), while lower contents were detected in Ocimum basilicum (34.44%), Origanum vulgare L. (28.98%), Mentha piperita L.(26.09%), and Salvia officinalis L. (24.34%). On the other hand, it was noted that rutin is found in less quantities compared to previous results. The extracts of Organium vulgare and Thymus capitatus had a significant antioxidant potential compared to standard vitamin C with 0.34 ± 0.03 and 0.46 ± 0.02 mg/mL respectively, while a lower scavenging capacity were recoded for Mentha piperita L. (0.59 mg/mL ± 0.01), Salvia officinalis L. (0.60 mg/mL ± 0.01), Rosmarinus officinalis L (0.65 mg/mL ± 0.07), and Ocimum basilicum (0.99 mg/mL ± 0.02). In conclusion, the reported results point out the significance of this family as a source of antioxidant agents with high promising capability to affect the redox state.

abstract = {Lamiaceae family comprise a wide range of medicinal and aromatic plant species with strong antioxidant properties and multiple pharmaceutical applications in folk medicine. Mentha piperita L., Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare L, Rosmarinus officinalis L, Salvia officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus, are edible plants in Libya, belonging to this family. The current work aims to evaluate gallic acid and rutin contents of the methanolic extract of the mentioned plants using RP- High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and assess their antioxidant properties by applying the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The content of gallic acid were found to be considerable in all plants studied, most remarkably in Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus with area under the peak (56.14% and 54.62% respectively), while lower contents were detected in Ocimum basilicum (34.44%), Origanum vulgare L. (28.98%), Mentha piperita L.(26.09%), and Salvia officinalis L. (24.34%). On the other hand, it was noted that rutin is found in less quantities compared to previous results. The extracts of Organium vulgare and Thymus capitatus had a significant antioxidant potential compared to standard vitamin C with 0.34 ± 0.03 and 0.46 ± 0.02 mg/mL respectively, while a lower scavenging capacity were recoded for Mentha piperita L. (0.59 mg/mL ± 0.01), Salvia officinalis L. (0.60 mg/mL ± 0.01), Rosmarinus officinalis L (0.65 mg/mL ± 0.07), and Ocimum basilicum (0.99 mg/mL ± 0.02). In conclusion, the reported results point out the significance of this family as a source of antioxidant agents with high promising capability to affect the redox state.},

TY - JOUR T1 - Determination of Antioxidant Capacity and HPLC Analysis of Gallic Acid Plus Rutin in Some Lamiaceae Plants Growing in the East of Libya AU - Abdullah Alamami AU - Samar Ben Zaed AU - Esra El Naili AU - Areej Daboub AU - Naema Elremali AU - Fatma Elshibani AU - Salim Skaik Y1 - 2023/02/27 PY - 2023 N1 - https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ijpc.20230901.11 DO - 10.11648/j.ijpc.20230901.11 T2 - International Journal of Pharmacy and Chemistry JF - International Journal of Pharmacy and Chemistry JO - International Journal of Pharmacy and Chemistry SP - 1 EP - 8 PB - Science Publishing Group SN - 2575-5749 UR - https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ijpc.20230901.11 AB - Lamiaceae family comprise a wide range of medicinal and aromatic plant species with strong antioxidant properties and multiple pharmaceutical applications in folk medicine. Mentha piperita L., Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vulgare L, Rosmarinus officinalis L, Salvia officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus, are edible plants in Libya, belonging to this family. The current work aims to evaluate gallic acid and rutin contents of the methanolic extract of the mentioned plants using RP- High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and assess their antioxidant properties by applying the DPPH radical scavenging assay. The content of gallic acid were found to be considerable in all plants studied, most remarkably in Rosmarinus officinalis L. and Thymus capitatus with area under the peak (56.14% and 54.62% respectively), while lower contents were detected in Ocimum basilicum (34.44%), Origanum vulgare L. (28.98%), Mentha piperita L.(26.09%), and Salvia officinalis L. (24.34%). On the other hand, it was noted that rutin is found in less quantities compared to previous results. The extracts of Organium vulgare and Thymus capitatus had a significant antioxidant potential compared to standard vitamin C with 0.34 ± 0.03 and 0.46 ± 0.02 mg/mL respectively, while a lower scavenging capacity were recoded for Mentha piperita L. (0.59 mg/mL ± 0.01), Salvia officinalis L. (0.60 mg/mL ± 0.01), Rosmarinus officinalis L (0.65 mg/mL ± 0.07), and Ocimum basilicum (0.99 mg/mL ± 0.02).
