Abstract

Satureja rechingeri belongs to the Lamiaceae family and is native to Iran. The plant produces high amounts of phenolic compounds, especially rosmarinic acid. The effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with a carboxyl functional group (MWCNT-COOH) and activated charcoal (AC) on the growth, rosmarinic and caffeic acid content, total phenol, total flavonoid and antioxidant activity of S. rechingeri calluses were evaluated. MWCNT-COOH and AC were able to increase the amount of fresh and dry weight compared to control in a wide range (25-500 μg/ml). The maximum amount of rosmarinic acid was observed in concentrations of 100 μg/ml MWCNT-COOH and 250 μg/ml AC. Positive correlations between antioxidant activity and total phenol content and rosmarinic acid content were observed. These data underline the role of rosmarinic acid as a potent antioxidant in plants.
