The inhibitory effects of 207 oriental medicines and 19 oriental prescriptions on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical were examined. The most effective oriental medicines were the fruit of Terminalia chebula, followed in order by the seed of Areca catechu, the heart wood of Caesalpinia sappan, the pericarp of Castanea crenata, the seed of Nelumbo nucifera, Rhus galls, the root of Sanguisorba officinalis, and the bark of Betula platyphylla at the concentration of 10 ${\mu}g$／mL. Of the 19 oriental prescriptions, Buyeonsan and Samsinhwan showed the potent scavenging activities of 88% and 71% on DPPH radical at the concentration of 5 ${\mu}g$／mL, respectively.

A furanofuranoid lignan glycoside, with radical scavenging on peroxynitrite, total reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, was isolated from the rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza and characterized as (+)-1-hydroxypinoresinol-1-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucoside based on spectroscopic evidence. The compound exhibited peroxynitrite, total ROS and DPPH radical scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 3.23$\pm$0.04, 2.26$\pm$0.07 and 32.3$\pm$0.13 $\mu$M, respectively. Penicillamine, Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) and L-ascorbic acid, acting as positive controls, showed radical scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 6.72$\pm$0.25, 1.43$\pm$0.04 and 11.4$\pm$0.07 $\mu$M, respectively.

The fungal genus Trametes is globally distributed and comprises various wood-decay species, including the well-known medicinal mushroom Trametes versicolor, a popular remedy in traditional Asian medicine. Trametes species produce antioxidants, which have a wide range of health benefits. The pressent study evaluated seven indigenous Trametes species from Korea, which were cultivated in three different media (dextrose-yeast extract, DY; malt extract-yeast extract, MY; malt extract broth, MEB) and tested for antioxidant activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assays. We found that the medium consumption rate did not significantly differ between the media and among the strains (72-76%). However, the T. versicolor strains had a relatively low consumption rate (14-65%). The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) tests demonstrated that culture filtrates of T. cf. junipericola, T. orientalis, T. suaveolens, and T. versicolor possessed antioxidant activity against damage from free radicals. In particular, T. cf. junipericola (DY) and T. versicolor (MY) had >80% activity in the DPPH and ABTS assays, compared with that of the positive control (ascorbic acid). Thus, our study identified promising candidates with substantial antioxidant activity among the indigenous strains of Trametes spp. from Korea.

From the leaves of Brassica juncea, an radical scavenging isorhamnetin 7-Ο-glucoside on peroxynitrite and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was isolated and characterized based on the spectroscopic evidence. The compound showed the peroxynitrite and DPPH scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 2.07$\pm$0.17 and 13.3 $\mu$M, respectively. Penicillamine and L-ascorbic acid as positive control exhibited radical scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 3.17$\pm$0.39 and 12.78 $\mu$M, respectively.

This study aims to investigate the biological activities related to hair loss of short anti-oxidant peptides (DK peptides) $5{\alpha}$-reductase inhibition and anti-oxidation. The series of DK peptides were generated amphipathic helical properties using leucines, lysines and tryptophan residues. Cell viability and free radical scavenging activities were performed using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, respectively. The DK peptides were investigated for inhibitory activity against $5{\alpha}$-reductase. Antioxidant activities were determined by means of, 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays. All peptides could inhibit $5{\alpha}$-reductase in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophage. In conclusion, DK peptides was suggested as the most attractive ingredients for improving hair loss, because of the high inhibitory against $5{\alpha}$-reductase inhibition.

Radical scavenging principles on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical were isolated from the seeds of Cassis tora L. Assignments of the^1H-{\;}and{\;}^{13}C-NMR$ data showed the active components to be an anthraquinone, alatemin nad two naphthopyrone glycosides, nor-rubro-fusarin-6-.betha.-D-glucoside(cassiaside) and rubrofusarin-6- -D-gentiobioside. Altemin showed more potent radical sacvenging effect than the others.

In search for the plant-derived antioxidant compound, it was found that the EtOAc, BuOH extracts obtained from the leaves parts of Oryza sativa L. which exhibited a significant antioxidant activity from 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical cleavage. Activity-guided fractionation on the basis of the inhibitory activity upon the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical cleavage. and repeated column chromatography afforded several antioxidant compounds from Oryza sativa L. The structures and stereochemistry of these compounds were established on the basis of analysis of spectra and some chemical transformations as follows: 5,7-dihydroxy- 8-methoxyflavone, $acacetin-7-O-{\beta}-rutinoside$, $pectolinarigenin-7-O-{\beta}-rutinoside$. At antioxidant activity test for isolated three compounds, antioxidant activity was showed too.

The EtOAc and n-BuOH soluble fractions from the aerial part of Setaria viridis showed a strong free radical scavenging activity. Six major compounds were isolated from these fractions. They were identified by spectral data as tricin (1), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (2), vitexin 2"-Ο-xyloside (3), orientin 2"-Ο-xyloside (4), $tricin-7-Ο-{\beta}-D-glucoside$ (5) and vitexin 2"-Ο-glucoside (6). Among these compounds, 4 and 5 exhibited strong free radical scavenging activities on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). We further studied the effects of these isolated compounds on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by non-enzymatic method. As expected, 4 and 5 exhibited significant inhibition on $ascorbic/Fe^{2-}$ induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes.ver microsomes.

The antioxidant activity of the extract of Erigeron annuus was assessed by means of two different in vitro tests: bleaching of the stable 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH test) and the scavenging of authentic peroxynitrite in company with peroxynitrite generation from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). In both tests, the 85% aq. MeOH and n-BuOH soluble fractions of the crude extract showed a significant scavenging effect on peroxynitrite and DPPH radical in comparison to L-ascorbic acid. And bioassay-guided fractionation of the n-BuOH soluble fraction led to the isolation of three compounds: Apigenin (1), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (2), and caffeic acid (3). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data and their antioxidant activities were measured by determining their capacity to scavenge peroxynitrite and the DPPH radical.

The EtOAc soluble fraction from the stem of Sorghum bicolor showed a strong free radical scavenging activity. Five major compounds were isolated from this fraction. They were identified by spectral data as methyl ferulate (1), methyl p-hydroxycinnamate (2), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3), tricin (4), and quercetin 3,4 -dimethyl ether (5). Among these compounds, 1 exhibited a strong, free radical scavenging activity on 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with an $IC_50$ value of 0.7 $\mu$M. We further studied the effects of these isolated compounds on the lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes induced by non-enzymatic method. All five compounds showed anti-lipid peroxidation activity ($IC_50$ values of 0.5, 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3 $\mu$ M, respectively).
