Abstract

Adverse effect of oxidative stress is a huge problem in medicine. In several circumstances, exogenous antioxidants are needed to regulate the amount of reactive species in the body. Plants are considered as a promising source for new antioxidant compounds. The goal of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant potential of extracts of the following herbs: Agrimonia eupatoria, Hypericum alpestre, Rumex obtusifolius and Sanguisorba officinalis using different chemical-based tests. GC-MS technique was used for identification of plant’s volatile bio-active constituents. The results revealed good potential of the tested herbs as sources for new antioxidant compounds.
