Abstract
- This study investigates the polyphenol content ofDiplotaxis simplexextract and the biological activities of the main organ. The analysed extracts showed that polyphenol contents varied considerably as a function of organs. Furthermore, novel biological activities of this species were assessed. Flower extracts exhibit a potentin vitroantioxidant capacity using oxygen radical absorbance capacity and displayed a strong anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting nitric oxide release, by 79.3% at 160 μg/mL. Our findings suggested that theDiplotaxisflower is a valuable source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
