Abstract
The antioxidant properties of Robinia pseudoacacia L. water and 70% ethanol extracts were evaluated by determining total phenolic content (TPC), DPPH radical scavenging activity (RSA), and reducing power (RP). The water extract showed higher TPC (9.07 mg/g gallic acid equivalents) and RP than those of ethanol extract, whereas ethanol extract had greater DPPH RSA. The R. pseudoacacia L. extracts also showed antigenotoxic effects for 200 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage in human leukocytes. The 200 ${\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage decreased following treatment with the water extract. Reductions in DNA damage with 50 ${\mu}g/ml$ of the water and ethanol extracts were 46.5 and 32.4%, respectively.
