Matricaria chamomilla ‎ have been recognized to have pharmaceutical ‎properties, e.g. antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic ‎effects. It has Polyphenols compounds with antioxidant activity. The purpose of this ‎study was antioxidant properties of various extract (ethanolic, metanoli and ‎hydroalcholic) and parts (stems & leavs and flower) of Matricaria chamomilla.‎ Methods: Three extracts (ethanolic, metanoli and hydroalcholic in 1, 2, 5 and 10 PPM ‎cocentration) were prepared. Then antioxidant activity of various extract ‎‎(ethanolic,metanoli and hydroalcholic) and parts(stems & leavs and flower) of Matricaria ‎chamomilla was measured by two methods: DPPH and FRAP assays. ‎ Results: The hydroalcholic extracts (10PPM concentration) of Matricaria chamomilla ‎flower in FRAP and DPPH assay have highest antioxidant power. ‎ Conclusion: All extracts showed antioxidant activity in both methods but the results ‎showed that hydroalcholic extract has better activity in antioxidant assays. Also,it can use ‎for treatment many diseases.‎ %> http://cmja.arakmu.ac.ir/article-1-183-en.pdf %P 1022-1027 %& 1022 %! %9 Research %L A-10-244-1 %+ Department of Toxicology and Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, Hamadan University ‎of Medical Sciences, Hamadan, Iran.‎ %G eng %@ 2228-5091 %[ 2015
