TI  - An Investigation of Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of Nettle (Urtica dioica L.), Mint (Mentha piperita), Thyme (Thyme serpyllum) and Chenopodium album L. Plants from Yaylacık Plateau, Giresun, Turkey
AB  - Ethanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from plants namely Urtica dioica L., Mentha piperita,Thyme serpyllum and Chenopodium album L. were evaluated for their total phenolic and totalflavonoid contents, antioxidant and antibacterial efficiencies. The antioxidant activities werescreened utilizing DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS scavenging activity, CUPRACactivity and total antioxidant capacity. Antibacterial activity of the tested extracts was determinedby disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. U. dioica and C. album extracts showed varyingactivities against the test bacteria. The hexane extracts of T. serpyllum and C. album showed theweakest copper reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) activity. 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) activity of the solvents are increased in the following order:Ethanol>Chloroform>Hexane. Our results revealed that all of the tested plants might be analternative to synthetic antioxidant and antibacterial agents.
