Abstract
Dept. of Herbal Biotechnology, Daegu Haany University, Gyeongbuk 712-715, KoreaAbstractThis study was conducted to examine the antioxidant activities of the extracts from aerial parts and roots of Syneilesis palmata. The ethanol extract of aerial parts showed the highest content of flavonoid compounds (31.72 mg/g), and the ethanol extract of roots has the highest content of total polyphenol compounds (68.11 mg/g). The water extract of S. palmata roots showed the highest xanthine oxidase inhibition of 99.29% and the ethanol extract of aerial parts showed 98.48% at 1.0 mg/mL. The ethanol extract of roots showed the highest value of nitrite scavenging ability of 70.89% at pH 1.2, SOD-like activity of 13.06% and electron donating ability of 98.58% at 1.0 mg/mL concentration. The effect of tyrosinase inhibition was found at only the ethanol extracts of roots (9.33%). We found that root extracts contain abundance polyphenol compounds and their antioxidant activities were greater than those of the extracts of aerial part.Key words: Syneilesis palmata, antioxidant activity, flavonoid, polyphenol, xanthine oxidase inhibition
