ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITYIN SOUTHERN BRAZIL HYPERICUM SPECIES
The present study was conducted to assess the antioxidant activity of Hypericum species endemic to South Brazil, H. caprifoliatum, H. carinatum, H. myrianthum and H. polyanthemum. The free radical scavenging properties of plant extracts were evaluated employing different methodologies, including the...
