Abstract
Phytotherapy is one of the most important areas of traditional medicine worldwide and the use of herbal remedies for various treatments is gaining great popularity. There is a growing trend toward the correlation of plant phytochemical constituents with their pharmacological activity. The mosses of Mnium spinosum, Anomodon viticulosus, Plagiomnium cuspidatum were collected from Armenia. Antioxidant activities were found for mosses 20,12 µg/ml, 21,12 µg/ml, and 44,06 µg/ml. High catalase activity was found in the aqueous extract of moss Plagiomnium cuspidatum - 83.91 µkat/g, further moss extract Mnium spinosum 71.3 µkat/g and lowest in moss extract Anomodon viticulosus – 25.0 µkat/g. The data obtained indicate that the catalase activity of moss extracts is significantly higher than that of medicinal plants.
