摘要
Objective:To determine the phenolic content in Codariocalyx motorius root extract and to evaluate its antioxidant properties using various in vitro assay systems.Methods:The antioxidant activity was evaluated based on scavenging of 1,1—diphenyl—2—picrylhydrazyl,hydroxyl radicals,superoxide anions,nitric oxide,hydrogen peroxide,peroxvnilrile,reducing power and by inhibition oi lipid peroxidation which was estimated in terms of thiohurhituric acid reactive substances.Results:The root extract of the Codariocalyx motorius(C.motorius) exhibited potent total antioxidant activity that increased with increasing amount of extract concentration,which was compared with standard drug such as quercetin.butylaled hvdroxvloluene.tocopherol at different concentrations.The different concentrations of the extracts showed inhibition on lipid peroxidation.In addition,the extracts had effective reducing power,free radical scavenging, super oxide anion scavenging,nitric oxide scavenging,lipid peroxidation,and total phenolic content depending on concentration.High correlation between total phenolic contents and scavenging potential of different reactive oxygen species(r^2=0.83 1 -0.978) indicated the polyphenols as the main antioxidants.Conclusions:Codariocalyx motorius(C.motorius) root possess the highly active antioxidant substance which can be used for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.
