Abstract

This experiment was carried out to obtain the cytotoxicity and antioxidative activity of Artemisiae Argi Folium. The total polyphenol contents in the ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract and the methanol extract were 430.27 ㎎/g and 427.84 ㎎/g, respectively. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, SC50 values of the ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract and the methanol extract were 32.64 ㎍/㎖ and 27.70 ㎍/㎖ as the same level of statistical with ascorbic acid. In the cytotoxicity measurement by MTT assay, the chloroform and hexane fraction, and each extract were exhibited higher cytotoxicity than the other fractions. In particular, the ethyl acetate fractions appeared high activity in DPPH radical scav- enging ability were began to show cytotoxicity in 125 ㎍/㎖. As a result, the ethyl acetate fraction of Artemisiae Argi Folium extract was the most highly active fraction in antioxidative activity. However, for the use of extracts and fractions from Arte- misiae Argi Folium to related fields, the setting of appropriate concentration is required.
