Abstract
The radical scavenging activities of 9 medicinal plants on peroxynitrite ($ONOO^-$) and hydroxyl (${\cdot}OH$) radical were investigated using in vitro system. The water extracts of 9 medicinal plants showed the protective effect against $ONOO^-$ and ${\cdot}OH$ radical. In particular, Akebia quinata, Aster scaber, Cudrania tricuspidata, Diospyros kaki, Eriobotrya japonica, Lycium chinense, Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Polygonum aviculare exhibited $ONOO^-$-scavenging activity by about 50% at the concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$. Although those $ONOO^-$-scavenging activities were lower than that of penicillamine (94.08${\pm}$3.04%) as a positive control, Eriobotrya japonica (89.87${\pm}$4.57%) was the most potent scavenger of $ONOO^-$ at the concentration of $10{\mu}g/ml$. Also, Diospyros kaki and Urtica angustifolia showed the strong${\cdot}$OH-scavenging activity than thiourea, positive control, at the concentration of lmg/ml. Our results indicate that 9medicinal plants may act as free radical scavengers and reduce damages caused by oxidative stress associated with $ONOO^-$ and${\cdot}$OH radical.
