INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
AntioxidantAntioxidant
““Any substance, when present at low Any substance, when present at low concentrations compared with those concentrations compared with those of an oxidizable substrate, of an oxidizable substrate, significantly delays or prevents significantly delays or prevents oxidation of that substrate “oxidation of that substrate “
Free Radicals in Biological Medicine, 3rd ed. 1999
Antioxidant actionAntioxidant action
The antioxidant can act by the The antioxidant can act by the following mechanisms: reducing following mechanisms: reducing activity, free radical-scavenging, activity, free radical-scavenging, potential complexing of pro-oxidant potential complexing of pro-oxidant metals and quenching of singlet metals and quenching of singlet oxygen. oxygen.
Tissue damage resulting from free Tissue damage resulting from free radical may cause a variety of radical may cause a variety of disorders, including degenerative disorders, including degenerative disorders of the CNS, such as disorders of the CNS, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, AIDS and aginghypertension, AIDS and aging

ObjectiveObjective
The research is aimed to study the The research is aimed to study the relationship of traditional usage of relationship of traditional usage of medicinal plants and their free radical medicinal plants and their free radical scavenging activityscavenging activity
METHODOLOGYMETHODOLOGY
1. Extraction1. Extraction
50 g of powdered plants were extracted with 50 g of powdered plants were extracted with EtOH:Water (50:50) (500 mL) and freeze dryedEtOH:Water (50:50) (500 mL) and freeze dryed
2. Phenolic contents was determined by Folin-2. Phenolic contents was determined by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent (McDonald et al., 2001)Ciocalteu reagent (McDonald et al., 2001)
3. Flavonoid contents was determined by aluminum 3. Flavonoid contents was determined by aluminum chloride colorimetric method (Siddhuraju and chloride colorimetric method (Siddhuraju and Becker, 2003)Becker, 2003)
4. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-4. Free radical scavenging activity was determined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPHpicrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH·· ) scavenging ) scavenging
