Diterpenes from the aerial parts of Salvia candelabrum and their protective effects against lipid peroxidation
Article Abstract:
A methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Salvia candelabrum was subjected to multiple chromatographic separations under the guidance of anti-lipid peroxidation assay. The differences in antioxidant capacities seen in the enzyme-independent system allowed conclusions concerning structure-activity relationships.
