ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF MYXOPYRUM SMILACIFOLIUM BLUME.
Abstract
Objective: To investigate the antioxidant activity of ethanol and aqueous extracts of Myxopyrum smilacifolium Blume.
Methods: Antioxidant activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), reducing power, nitric oxide radical and superoxide
scavenging activity, using different concentrations (10, 25, 50, 100 μg/ml).
Results: The extracts showed significant activity as compared to control; but comparatively less than the ascorbic acid.
Conclusion: The extracts of myxopyrum smilacifolium blume showed antioxidant activities.
Keywords: Antioxidant, Myxopyrum smilacifolium, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, Reducing power, Nitric oxide radical.
