title: Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Tamarix ramosissima.
abstract: The ethylacetate and water-acetone extracts of Tamarix ramosissima were screened for their antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal and DNA damaging activities through in vitro experiments. All fractions as well as precipitates showed significant antioxidant activity. A known compound tamarixetin (1) was isolated which showed significant DNA damaging activity in mutant yeast bioassay. Results revealed that antioxidant and antibacterial activities were associated with the presence of polyphenolic substances.
