Abstract EN
The antioxidant potential of Actinidia macrosperma C.
F.
Liang (Actinidiaceae) was investigated in vitro for total phenolic content, along with total antioxidant activity (TAA), 1,1-diphenyl 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), and lipid peroxidation (LP).
The results indicated that different polarity extracts of A.
macrosperma exhibit different biological activities, which depends mainly on the presence of phenolic compounds.
The antioxidant activity was in the following decreasing order: MeOH extract > EtOAc extract > aqueous extract > CHCl3 extract > Hexane extract.
Moreover, the cytotoxic activity of this plant by MTT dye assay using SMMC-7721 has been determined also.
The hexane, EtOAc, and CHCl3 extracts showed cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner.
Methanol and aqueous extracts, however, showed weak activities in this test.
And a very significant cytotoxic activity, not significantly different from the positive control of quercetin, was observed in CHCl3 extract.
