Antioxidant activity and protective effect of ten varieties geo-authentic traditional Chinese medicine of Guangxi
This article aims to investigate the antioxidant activity in vitro and protective effect against H2O2-induced oxidative damage of different solvent extracts of"ten varieties geo-authentic traditional Chinese medicine of Guangxi"in HepG2 and L02 cells.Methods With"ten varieties geo-authentic traditional Chinese medicine of Guangxi"as the raw materials,their different solvent extracts were prepared with water and 75%ethanol.The antioxidant activities of different solvent extracts were evaluated by DPPH,ABTS radical scavenging method and Fe3+reduction capacity method.MTT method was used to evaluate the protective effect of different solvent extracts on H2O2 induced cells oxidative damage.Results The aqueous extract of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn exhibited the strongest scavenging ability for DPPH and ABTS free radicals.The 75%ethanol extract of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn showed the strongest reducing ability for Fe3+.The aqueous extracts of Euchresta japonica Hook.f.ex Rege and 75%ethanol extract of Cassia Twig and Spatholobus suberectus Dunn had the strongest protective effect on the cell viability of HepG2 cells.The aqueous extracts of Abrus pulchellus subsp cantoniensis(Hance)Verdcourt and the 75%ethanol extract of Dimocarpus longan Lour and Curcuma kwangsiensis S.G.Lee et C.F.Liang had the strongest protective effect on the cell viability of L02 cells.Conclusion The antioxidant activity and the protective effect on H2O2-induced cellular oxidative damage of different solvent extracts of"ten varieties geo-authentic traditional Chinese medicine of Guangxi"are compared in this study,which provides an experimental basis for the later antioxidant research and development of"ten varieties geo-authentic traditional Chinese medicine of Guangxi".
