Free Radical Scavenging and Lipid Peroxidation Inhibition Potential of Hygrophila auriculata

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hygrophila auriculata (K. Schum.) Heine is a wild herb comonly found in moist places on thebanks of tanks, ditches and paddy fields throughout India and is one of the main sources of Ayurvedic ?Rasayanadrug. The free radical scavenging potential of 50% aqueous alcoholic extract of H. auriculata (HAEt) was studiedfor DPPH scavenging activity, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radical and ferryl bipyridyl complex scavenging activity(TBARS) in rat liver homogenate. Integral antioxidative capacity was determined by photochemiluminescence assay.HAEt showed good radical scavenging activity at various concentrations (200-1000 g/ml) against 1,1 diphenyl,2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (32.32-77.02%) with moderate scavenging activity against Nitric oxide (12.46-52.84%),hydroxyl radical (11.69-55.26%), ferryl bipyridyl complex (17.66-58.67%) and lipid peroxidation (0.829-0.416nmoles/mg protein). The above results indicate HAEt varied therapeutic activities claimed for the plant in the Indian indigenous systems of medicine may be in part dueto the free radical scavenging and/ or potent antioxidant activity.Keywords Hygrophila auriculata, free radical scavenging, Lipid peroxidation, Photochemiluminescence assay
