摘要
Objective:Toinvestigate the anti-angiogenic activity and antioxidant properties of Myristica fragrans（M.fragrans）（nutmeg） and Morinda citrifolia（M.citrifolia）（mengkudu） oils. Methods:The nutmeg and megkudu essential oils were obtained by steam distillation. The antioxidant activities of both essenlial oils were delermined by beta-carotene/ linoleic acid bleaching assay and reducing power while the anti-angiogenic activity was investigated using rat aortic ring assay using various concentrations.Results:The results showed that nutmeg oil has higher antioxidant activity than mengkudu oil.The nutmeg oil effectively inhibited the oxidation of linoleic acid with（88.68±0.1）%while the inhibition percentage of oxidation of linoleic acid of the mengkudu oil is（69.44±0.4）%.The nutmeg oil and mengkudu oil showed reducing power with an EC<sub>50</sub> value of 181.4μg/mL and 3 043.0μg/mL,respectively.The anliangiogenic activity of nutmeg oil showed significant antiangiogenic activity with IC<sub>50</sub> of 77.64μg/mL comparing to mengkudu oil which exhibits IC<sub>50</sub> of 109.30μg/mL.Conclusion:Bioactive compound（s） will be isolated from the nutmeg essential oil to be developed as antiangiogenic drugs.
