Abstract

Objectives : This research aimed to evaluate the effects of Rubus coreanus $M_{IQ}$. Methods: These extracts from fresh R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. were investigated with radical scavenging activity, the content of total phenolics, ferric thiocyanate method and flavonoid contents Results: These results revealed that the ethyl acetate extract from fresh R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. possesses remarkable radical scavenging activity. The content of total phenolics of the ethanol extract from dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. ($IC_{50}$=155.87${\pm}$8.8${\mu}$g/mL) is the highest among all of the samples. The stronger radical-scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$=77.72${\pm}$2.1${\mu}$g/mL) of ethyl acetate extract from dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. should be related to its phenolic content as measured by gallic acid test. Conclusion: These results suggest that dried R. coreanus $M_{IQ}$. may act as a potential antioxidant agent.
