Objectives : The present study was performed to clarify the antioxidant and anticancer effects of extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera and Kaempferol. Methods : Antioxidant effect was measured by DPPH-radical scavenging activity for electron donating ability (EDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity for SOD and lipid peroxidation. Anticancer effect was assessed by MTT absorbance for cytotoxicity. Results : Vitamin E, Kaempferol and ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera increased SOD-like activity and DPPH-radical scavenging activity dose-dependently. On the contrary, lipid peroxidation was time-dependently decreased. Furthermore, Kaempferol and ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera significantly decreased the growth rate of C6 glioma cells. Conclusions : These results suggest that ethyl acetate extract of stamens of Nelumbo nucifera may be a putative antioxidant or anticancer substance.
