Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate histone deacetylase inhibitory and antioxidant activities of some ethanolic plant extracts.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the inhibitory effects of ethyl alcohol extracts prepared from various plants and some chemical compounds on histone deacetylase activity were investigated. In addition, the antioxidant activity of plant-derived active substances, which have had an important value in alternative medicine in recent years, has been determined to replace chemicals.
Results: All the plant extracts and chemical substances used in the study showed histone deacetylase inhibitory effect (with IC50 range of 0.000078-319.0 µg/mL) and antioxidant activity. The results indicated that the percentage of histone deacetylase inhibition and antioxidant activities increased with increasing concentrations of the plant extracts and chemical compounds.
Conclusion: These plant extracts which are potential sources of histone deacetylase inhibitors may be appropriately used as an alternative support to drug treatment rather than the use of toxic chemicals.
