IC501) values of radical scavenging activities and anti-oxidant activities of M. leucadendron L. extracts
| Solvent fractions | IC50 (μg/mL)
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| DPPH radical scavenging | Superoxide anion radical scavenging | Antioxidant activity on linoleic acid oxidation | |
| MeOH | 5.1 | 14.5 | 6.2 |
| CHCl3 | 55.7 | 50.3 | 18.1 |
| BuOH | 4.8 | 10.1 | 3.2 |
| H2O | 60.0 | 51.0 | 20.4 |
| α-tocopherol | 3.9 | 5.7 | 3.7 |
| BHT | 2.3 | 4.2 | 2.88 |
BHT and α-tocopherol were used as positive controls.
IC50 value is the concentration of 50% inhibition.
