FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING ACTIVITY OF FLAVONOID CONTAINING LEAF EXTRACTS OF Stevia rebaudiana Bert
نویسندگان
چکیده
To evaluate the free radical scavenging activity of flavonoids containing extracts of Stevia leaf. Alcoholic. Successive butanolic and alcoholic extracts of leaves were examined for free radical scavenging activity using BHT (tert-butylhydroxytolune) as a positive control by in vitro models. Successive alcoholic extract showed remarkable free radical scavenging activity. The IC(50) was found to be 140 μg and 76 ig of successive alcoholic and BHT respectively in DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay method. The Dot-Blot test on silica layers also showed thescavenging activity of free radical of flavonoids containing extracts. The successive alcoholic extract shown significant antioxidant activity.

The present study was designed to explore the flavonoid contents and the radical scavenging activities of 50% ethanol extracts of leaves, stems, rachis and roots of Dryopteris erythrosora. The total flavonoid contents in various parts were determined as: stems > roots > rachis > leaves. All extracts from different parts of D. erythrosora showed strong bioactivities. The DPPH free radical scaven...
