Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activities of methanol extracts from whole plant, flower stalk and stem of Hagocho (Prunella vulgaris). Content of total phenolic compound was the highest in flower stalk (77.1 mg/100 g) and those of others were below 54.0 mg/100 g. Flavonoid contents was the highest in stem (36.1 mg/100 g) compared to other samples. Electron donating ability of Prunella vulgaris was activated at over 70% in all samples at $500{\mu}g/mL$ concentration, especially, the activity was the highest (92.1%) in flower stalk extracts. Reducing power showed similar tendency to electron donating ability, which was significantly higher flower stalk ($0.3{\sim}1.9$), whole plant ($0.2{\sim}1.6$) and stem ($0.2{\sim}1.5$). Hydroxyl radical was scavenged over 80% in $100{\mu}g/mL$ concentration and was not significantly different between parts. Antioxidant activity in $\beta$-carotene-linoleic acid system was $47.5{\sim}84.6%$ when $1,000{\mu}g/mL$ methanol extracts was added to reaction mixtures, and flower stalk showed the highest activity. Ability of ABTs cation decolorization from Prunella vulgaris was activated over 50% in all samples when $250{\mu}g/mL$ of methanol extracts was added to reaction mixtures and $500{\mu}g/mL$ were the most suitable concentration for its activation. Nitric oxide scavenging activity was lower under 20%, but its activity was significantly higher in flower stalk than other parts. The results indicate that flower stalk from Prunella vulgaris has potent antioxidant activities.
