sp. plants are used in traditional medicine because of their immunostimulatory and anticarcinogenic properties, despite their content of aristolochic acids (AAs), carcinogenic and nephrotoxic agents. Therefore, ethanolic extracts of leaves, a specie growing in Western Romania, were obtained to study antioxidant and cytotoxic effects. The antioxidant capacity of the extract was evaluated by five in vitro chemical-based assays, proving that ABTS assay was a better method for this type of evaluation showing an IC of 160.89 ± 0.21 µg/mL. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effects of the extract were established by an IC of 216 µg/mL for 24 h by MTT assay, followed by a cell-based assay on Caco-2 cells by the ABTS method. The antioxidant effects of the extract demonstrate potential therapeutic applications in complementary medicine.
尽管某些植物含有马兜铃酸(AAs)这种致癌和肾毒性物质,但由于其具有免疫刺激和抗癌特性,仍被用于传统医学。因此,我们获取了罗马尼亚西部生长的一种植物的叶子的乙醇提取物,以研究其抗氧化和细胞毒性作用。通过五种基于化学的体外试验评估了提取物的抗氧化能力,结果证明ABTS试验是进行此类评估的更好方法,其IC50为160.89±0.21μg/mL。此外,通过MTT试验确定提取物在24小时时的细胞毒性IC50为216μg/mL,随后通过ABTS方法在Caco-2细胞上进行基于细胞的试验。提取物的抗氧化作用表明其在补充医学中具有潜在的治疗应用。
