Table 1. The IC50 values of MERC and positive controls (µg/mL) .
Assays | Rhizoma Cibotii | BHA | Trolox |
DPPH | 44.26 ± 0.62a,b | 2.03 ± 0.28 | 4.02 ± 0.71 |
ABTS | 19.84 ± 0.31a,b | 2.03 ± 0.28 | 1.49 ± 0.00 |
• O 2+ | 137.66 ± 2.90a,b | 2568.62 ± 11.78 | 799.11 ± 72.30 |
• OH | 22.94 ± 0.90a,b | 26.39 ± 0.28 | 41.84 ± 3.79 |
Reducing power (Fe3+) | 289.73 ± 46.17a,b | 34.14 ± 0.26 | 44.96 ± 0.60 |
Reducing power (Cu2+) | 53.52 ± 1.51a,b | 5.74 ± 0.23 | 11.32 ± 0.09 |
All values were mean ± SD (n=3). Results were analyzed by ANOVA. Value with a significantly different from Trolox (P < 0.05); Value with b significantly different from BHA (P < 0.05). MERC, methanolic extract from Rhizoma Cibotii.
