        Capparis spinosa L. has been used in traditional medicine of Sistan region to treatment of liver, spleen, anemia and weakness of body diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition of essential oils and optimization of antioxidant activity of Capparis spinosa L. The fruits were harvested from Nik Mohammad, Hirmand region (Sistan and Balouchestan Province) in summer 2014. The essential oil was obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC and GC-MS. The fruit extract was obtained through microwave method with three solvents (ethanol, methanol and water), extraction times, temperatures and powers of microwave. Then antioxidant capacity was studied by 2, 2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. Essential oils analysis were showed that there were 33 compounds in fruit oil. Thymol (24%) and isothiocyanates (29%) were the most abundant of oil constituents. According to the results, the ethanol extract which obtained by microwave power 300 W, 15 min and temperature 85ºC was optimized treatment for  height antioxidant activity. The conclusions were showed that the Capparis fruit extract can be used as the potential source of natural antioxidant to diseases treatment.   Manuscript profile

        Antioxidants metabolites which are protect the body against damage caused by free radical activity. Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites in medicinal plants, which have a high antioxidant power. Karela (Momordica charantia L.) is an herb belonging to Cucurbitaceae family, consisted of phenolic compounds which can act as antioxidant. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different solvents (methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, hexane and chloroform) on total phenolic, flavonoids content and antioxidant activities of Karela in Sistan region in 2016. Different extracts of plant parts ( Root, leaves and fruit) were obtained by different solvents by maceration method. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were measured by Folin–Ciocalteu and Aluminum chloride methods, respectively. Antioxidant activity of extracts were determined by using Diphenyl Picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assays. The results were showed that the highest phenolic content was observed in fruit and leaf methanol extract (36.96±1.33 and 33.01±3.03 mg gallic acid/g DW respectively) and the least amount of phenol was extracted by ethyl acetate, hexane and chloroform which was less than 1 mg/g DW. The highest flavonoid content was observed in leaf acetone and methanol extract (10.95±1/97 and 10.03±2.2 mg quercitin/g DW respectively). Fruit methanol extract showed higher antioxidant activity than other extracts in three methods. Based on results of this research, Karela fruit can be suggested as useful source of natural antioxidants Manuscript profile

        Citrullus colocynthis L. belonging to the cucurbitaceae family, is used to treat many diseases such as inflammation, rheumatism, and diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the total phenol and flavonoids content of different parts (leaf, seed, fruit pulp and peel) of C. colocynthis in Kerman, Iranshahr and Zabol habitats. All plant samples were collected from these habitats during June in 2017. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined by using spectrophotometry method. Antioxidant activity of extracts was determined by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) radical scavenging assay. Based on the results, the most phenol content was observed in leaf extract of C. colocynthis in Kerman (52.19 mg/g DW) and Iranshahr (44.86 mg/g DW), respectively. Most of flavonoid content were in leaf of C. colocynthis in Kerman, in addition, it had the highest antioxidant activity (86percentage). The present study shows the potential of C. colocynthis leaf as a pharmaceutical agent and we hope this study encourage further studies to investigate its phytochemistry and pharmacology.
