The aim of this study was comparison of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity, as well as chemical composition of extracts of Tropaeolum majus L. herb. Aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts derived from dried and freeze-dried nasturtium herb, prepared both at room temperature and at 90 ¡ãC, were studied. In the studies there were no significant differences between antioxidant activity of the extracts. All extracts showed scavenging activity against all the examined reactive species in a concentration-dependent manner. The strongest scavenging activity they showed against reactive nitrogen species, NO (SC50 4.54 ¡À 0.26-10.90 ¡À 1.39 ¦Ìg/mL) and ONOO^? (SC50 2.49 ¡À 1.50-6.37 ¡À 1.86 ¦Ìg/mL). Among reactive oxygen species, they showed strong scavenging activity against H₂O₂ (SC50 14.90 ¡À 3.91-38.63 ¡À 9.28 ¦Ìg/mL). Scavenging activity against O₂^? was weaker, while against HClO the extracts showed very weak activity, practically at the level of statistical error. Against synthetic radical - DPPH scavenging activity of the tested extracts was negligible. The extracts demonstrated stronger antioxidant activity in ex vivo experiment on human neutrophils. The extracts showed no inhibitory activity on hyaluronidase, but at a concentration of 50 ¦Ìg/mL they inhibited the activity of COX1 by approximately 60 % . Lack of antimicrobial activity of the extracts seems to be associated with a low content of benzyl isothiocyanate. The aqueous extracts were characterized by the presence of esters of quinic acid with cinnamic acids (chlorogenic acids, p-coumaroylquinic acids) and the presence of flavonoids. Meanwhile the hydroethanolic extracts were mainly rich in the above mentioned acid esters.
