Abstract

Under ultrasound, Evodia rutaecarpa herbs were extracted with acetone, ethanol, water and ethyl acetate solvents to offer acetone extract, ethanol extract, water extract and ethyl acetate extract, respectively. Their free radical scavenging activities were evaluated against DPPH, ABTS+, hydroxyl and superoxide anion radicals, respectively. The results showed that all the extracts displayed good radical scavenging activities, while acetone extract even demonstrated better scavenging activity than the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) in ABTS+ assay, with IC50 4.73 μg/mL and the extract solvents were found to have important effect on their radical scavenging activities.
