Abstract
The superoxide anion scavenging activity of traditional Chinese medicines (Kampo) was estimated by the nitrate and nitrobluetetrazolium methods. No.15 and 34 revealed a strong superoxide anion scavenging activity and No.1, 7, 19, 25 and 45 revealed a relatively strong superoxide anion scavenging activity by nitrate method. On the other hand the nitrobluetetrazolium method revealed a relatively strong activity in No.1, 15, 25, 45 and 96. In particular, both methods denoted a relatively strong superoxide anion scavenging activity in No.1, 15, 25 and 45. These results suggest that the superoxide anion scavenging activity of each component accumulatively contribute to those Kampo medicines and might play an anti-inflamatory effect and “Ku-Oketsu” (improved blood circulation) effect in these medicines.
