Abstract

In order to evaluate their availability as potent natural antioxidants, the reactive oxygen radical species (ROS) scavenging effects of 50 kinds of Korean medicinal plant leaf were examined and their correlation with total phenolic contents were compared. Saururus chinesis Baill., Houttuynia cordata Thumb, Petasites japonicus, Impatiens textori, Cirusium maackii Maxim., Ligusticum jeholense, ligusticum scoticum L. and Echinops setifer $\small\coprod jin$. exhibited over a 95% scavenging effect of superoxide anion in 1 ppm concentration of test solution. In particular, Geum japonicum, Atractylodes japonicus, Ligusticum jeholense, Aruncus dioicus and Petasites japonicus exhibited relatively stronger ROS scavenging effects than any other medicinal plants. Total phenolic content varied from 960 mg% to 1767 mg%. Houttuymia cordata, Impatiens textori, Geum japonicum and Aruncus dioicus had higher contents, each above 1600 mg%. The correlation coefficient of total phenolic content with superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical and DPPH radical scavenging effects of Korean medicinal plants were 0.8111, 0.8057, 0.8809 and 0.9810, respectively. It is concluded that the leaves of Geum japonicum and Atractyodes japonicus might be potent resource of natural antioxidant.
