IC50 values of Tetrapleura tetraptera methanol fruit extract in in vitro antioxidant tests.
| Antioxidant tests | TT IC50 (μg/mL) | Reference standard |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Compound | IC50 (μg/mL) | ||
| DPPH | 20.96 ± 0.65a | Ascorbic acid | 15.36 ± 0.29b |
| ABTS•+ | 47.03 ± 0.97a | Trolox | 39.88 ± 0.52b |
| Hydroxyl radical | 20.63 ± 0.68a | Mannitol | 11.06 ± 0.87b |
| CUPRAC | 32.08 ± 1.22a | Trolox | 9.76 ± 0.89b |
| LPO | 47.36 ± 0.67a | Quercetin | 45.61 ± 0.56b |
| Protein anti-denaturation | 26.76 ± 0.21a | Ascorbic acid | 12.15 ± 0.21b |
Values are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). IC50 was calculated using the inverse logarithmic method. Values with the same letter across a row are not significantly different (p < 0.05). TT: Tetrapleura tetraptera methanol fruit extract; DPPH: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl; ABTS: 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid); CUPRAC: Cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity; LPO: Lipid peroxidation.
