Abstract: Antioxidant
activities of Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai leaf extracts using
two different solvents (water and ethanol) were determined by using in
vitro antioxidant models including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH)
radical, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide scavenging activities, and
ferrous chelating and reducing power activities. Both extracts were shown
to be antioxidants; however, ethanol extract exhibited higher antioxidant
activity than that of water extract. The total phenolic and flavonoid
contents of Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai leaf extract was
positively correlated with the antioxidant activity. Significantly, the
ethanol extract exerted the most potent cytotoxicity activity against human
colon cancer HCT116 cells.
