Similar letters indicate significant similarities between rows ( < 0.05, according to ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). For MFC/MIC assays, similar letters indicate significant similarities between rows ( < 0.0001, according to ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). Rutin: positive control to antioxidant activity. Physostigmine: positive control to AChE inhibition. —: not performed.
