Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of water and ethanol extracts from Sasa borealis (SB) by in vitro assays. The water and ethanol extracts from SB scavenged the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and 2,2'-azino-di-2- thyl-benzothia-zoline sulphonate (ABTS) radical in a dose-dependent manner at the concentration range from 100 to 2500 µ g/ml. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethanol extract (26.97~83.59%) was higher than that of water extract (2.27~80.71%). IC50 of DPPH radical scavenging activity of water and ethanol extracts was 1211.2 µ g/ml and 529.4 µ g/ml respectively. The ABTS radical activity of water and ethanol extracts was 12.17~90.53% and 13.69~82.73% respectively. IC50 of ABTS radical scavenging activity of water and ethanol extracts was 410.5 µ g/ml and 300.2 µ g/ml. The reducing power activity of water and ethanol
