   Oxidative stress

   Plant part used: leaf.

   Scientific references (short excerpts)

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Chaudhuri D (2012)

     Excerpt Iresine herbstii leaf & stem powders were extracted using ethanol, acetone, dichloromethane & petroleum ether. Phytochemicals were investigated by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GCMS) & the total phenolic content as well as their therapeutic potentials also investigated by multiple in vitro assays such as radical scavenging activity, Fe3+reducing power, total antioxidant capacity & cytotoxicity towards cancer cells.

   • According to Bianchi A (1993)

     Excerpt Therefore, the effects of vacuum drying, storage & freezing on the anthocyanin content & their antioxidant properties of Iresine herbstii L. flowers exhibited a dose-dependent (AEFF > AEDF > AESF > AEZF1 > AEZF3, respectively) antioxidant activity against lipid peroxidation in a linoleic acid model system as well as strong reducing power & ferrous ion chelating abilities.

   • According to Dipankar C (2012)

     Excerpt The current study deals with the synthesis, characterization of silver nanoparticles using Iresine herbstii & evaluation of their antibacterial, antioxidant & cytotoxic activity. The powerful bioactivity demonstrated by the synthesized silver nanoparticles leads towards the clinical use as antibacterial, antioxidant as well as cytotoxic agent.

   • According to Prommee N (2025)

     Excerpt Ardisia polycephala, Iresine herbstii, & Oenanthe javanica are commonly used to nourish women’s blood a treat reproductive system disease,

   • Excerpt according to Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM) scriptures. Both water & ethanol extracts of the three herbs were examined for their antioxidant activities using DPPH, FRAP, & NO assays.

   • According to Sai-Ut S (2023)

     Excerpt herbstii, where IH as antioxidant to prevent lipid oxidation in vegetable oil,. Acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), ρ-anisidine value & volatile compounds were taken as parameters for evaluation of oxidative stability of EEC sample.

   Avian viraemia: Newcastle disease §NDV

   Plant part used: Pesticidal and veterinary use.

   Scientific references (short excerpts)

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Andleeb R (2020)

     Excerpt The study was implemented to actuate the qualitative & quantitative phyto constituents of Iresine herbstii extracts & its antiviral efficacy against avian ND virus. To check the antiviral potential of plants, different prepared treatments of plant extract & live virus were inoculated at 9 days old SPF embryonated chicken eggs.
