  • Title: [Study on effects of scutellarin on scavenging reactive oxygen].
    Author: Liu H, Yang X, Zhou L, Xu H.
    Journal: Zhong Yao Cai; 2002 Jul; 25(7):491-3. PubMed ID: 12599762.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the antioxidative effects and its mechanism of scutellarin. METHODS: Scavenging effects of scutellarin on hydroxyl radical (OH.) produced from 0-phenathroline-ascorbic acid system, super oxide anion radical (O2-.) produced from xanthine-xanthine oxidase-luminol system and hydrogen peroxide was studied by a chemiluminescence assay. RESULTS: Scutellarin has a significant effect on scavenging hydroxyl radicals, super oxide anion radicals, hydrogen peroxide, their IC50 are 66 micrograms/ml, 1.3 micrograms/ml and 1.6 micrograms/ml respectively. CONCLUSION: Scutellarin is an efficiency antioxidant.
