To investigate the effects of antioxidant activities and hair loss prevention of extracts from Platycodon grandiflorum, we've prepared chloroform (CF) and ethylacetate fractions (EA) extracted from P. grandiflorum. In the results of DPPH radical scavenging assay, the two fractions showed dose-dependent antioxidant activities. Furthermore, in the ABTS assay, the two fractions exhibited the inhibitory effect over 90% at 10, 50, 100, 200 mg/mL. To investigate the inflammation inhibitory effect, we used RAW264.7 cells, these extracts were inhibited inflammatory reaction by suppressing the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) in dose-dependent manner. In the assay of HaCaT cells' proliferation, the 24 hr treatment of the extracts significantly accelerarted cell proliferation in the range of concentrations used. The two fractions inhibited the proliferation of Malssezia furfur, the bacteria induce the dandruff. Finally, the CF could significantly inhibit the DHT production at 1, 10, 50, $100{\mu}g/mL$, but EA showed the inhibitory effect at the concentration over $50{\mu}g/mL$. The overall results of this study suggest that the chloroform (CF) and ethylacetate fractions (EA) from P. grandiflorum could be a useful raw material for the hair loss prevention products.

Acanthopanax species (Araliaceae) has been traditionally used as tonic, analgesic, stimulant of immune system, and replenishment of body function. The antioxidant activities of leaf and root bark of Acanthopanax species were determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay and relative electrophoretic mobility (REM) on human plasma low density lipoproteins (LDL). Acanthopanax divaricatus var. albeofructus and Acanthopanax for. nambunensis showed potent antioxidant activities.

Aim: Developing antitumor drugs from natural products is receiving increasing interest worldwide due to limitations and side effects of therapy strategies for the second leading cause of disease related mortality, cancer. Methods: The antiproliferative activity of a methanolic extract from the aerial parts of Marrubium persicum extract was assessed with the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line using the MTT test for cell viability and cytotoxicity indices. In addition, antioxidant properties of the extract were evaluated by measuring its ability to scavenge free DPPH radicals. Moreover, the total phenolic and flavonoid content of the extract was determined based on Folin-Ciocalteu and colorimetric aluminum chloride methods. Results: The findings of the study for the antiproliferative activity of the methanolic extract of M. persicum showed that growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by the extract in a dose and time dependent manner, where a gradual increase of cytotoxicity effect has been achieved setting out on 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ concentration of the plant extract. The antioxidant assay revealed that the extract was a strong scavenger of DPPH radicals with an $RC_{50}$ value of 52 ${\mu}g/mL$. The total phenolic and flavonoids content of the plant extract was 409.3 mg gallic acid equivalent and 168.9 mg quercetin equivalent per 100g of dry plant material. Conclusion: Overall, M. persicum possesses potential antiproliferative and antioxidant activities on the malignant MCF-7 cell line that could be attributed to the high content of phenolics and flavonoids, and therefore warrants further exploration.

The purpose of this study is to examine the antioxidant activity in the germ cells of the extract of Psoraleae fructus. The extract was studied for dipheny-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, GC-1 cell viability by a modified MTT assay, the effects on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity by MTT assay and lipid perixidation by malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, respectively. The results showed that the extract scavenged DPPH radical with the IC50 being 0.427 mg/mL. The extract was dose-dependent in growth of GC-1 cell. $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity (67.7 %) was blocked by the extract concentration- dependently. Furthermore, the extract also displayed a dose-dependent reduction of MDA formation on $H_2O_2$-induced lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, the extract of Psoraleae fructus has potent antioxidant activity.

Roots of Scutellaria baicalensis have been used for fever remedy; diuresis, antiphlogistic. For the investigation of the active component from aerial parts of Scutellaria baicalensis, MeOH extracts from aerial parts of Scutellaria baicalensis were suspended with $H_2O$, and partitioned by $CHCl_3$. In order to investigate the efficacy of antioxidative activity the activity guided fraction and isolation of physiologically active substance were peformed. Its $H_2O,\;30\%,\;60\%$ MeOH and MeOH fractions were examined on antioxidative activity using DPPH method and TBARS assay; It was revealed that $30\%\;and\;60\%$ MeOH fractions have significant anti-oxidative activity. its fractions testing type I allergy, compound 48/80 induced systemic anaphylaxis was applied. As a result, compared with reference (cromolygate), these fraction significantly inhibited systemic anaphylaxis by $71\%\;and\;57\%$, respectively. From $30\%,\;60\%$ MeOH fraction, five compounds were isolated and elucidated apigenin 6-C-${\alpha}$-L-arabinopyranosyl-8-C-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (isoschaftside, I), scutellarein 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside (scutellarin, II), apigenin 7-O- ${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside (III), isoscutellarein 8-O-${\beta}$-D-glucuronopyranoside (IV), kaempferol 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (V) through their physicochemical data and spectroscopic methods. We measured radical scavenging activity with DPPH method and anti-lipid peroxidative efficacy on human LDL with TBARS assay. [$I] showed antioxidant activities in order. Type I allergy compound 48/80 induced systemic anaphylaxis was applied. $[V inhibited systemic anaphylaxis in order.

A number of plants from different geographical origins have been shown to possess antioxidant activity. Some of them have been developed as natural antioxidant formulations for food, cosmetic and other applications. Bangladeshi flora is a rich source of a range of plant species, many of which are medicinal plants, and have been used in the preparations of the Unani and Ayurvedic traditional medicines. There are no, or just a few, reports on any systematic screening of the extracts of Bangladeshi plants for free radical scavenging activity using DPPH assay available to date. As part of our on-going search for biological activity in Bangladeshi plants, Kadam (Anthocephalus chinensis), Goran (Ceriaps decandra), Swarnalata (Cuscuta reflexa), Gab (Diospyros peregrina), Sundari (Heritiera fomes), Dhundul (Xylocarpus granatum) and Possur (Xylocarpus mekongensis) have been selected for the assessment of their free radical scavenging activity, and studies on the contents of alkaloids, anthraqunones, flavonoids and tannins in these extracts. Most of these species have been used in traditional medicine in Bangladesh and other countries for the treatment of various illnesses ranging from common cold to cancer. All extracts, except the methanol extract of Cuscuta reflexa, displayed significant free radical scavenging activity in the DPPH assay $(RC_{50}$ values within the range of $2.75\;{\times}\;10^{-2}\;to\;4.7\;{\times}\;10^{-3}\;mg/mL)$. Among these extracts, the methanol extract of Xylocarpus granatum exhibited the most potent activity $(4.7\;{\times}\;10^{-3}\;mg/mL)$ and that of Cuscuta reflexa had the least activity $(1.64\;{\times}\;10^{-1}\;mg/mL)$. While none of these plants showed positive tests with Dragendorff's reagent, presence of low to moderate amounts of phenolic compounds, e.g. anthraquinones, flavonoids and tannins was evident in all of these plants, except for the methanolic extracts of C. reflexa and the barks of D. peregrina, which did not display any evidence for the presence of flavonoids and anthraquinones, respectively.
