The antioxidant properties and the effect on nitric oxide (NO) production, in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages, of 12 traditional vegetables of the Malaysian Malays, including Pithecellobium confertum, Averrhoa bilimbi, Portulaca oleraceal Solanum torvum, Solanum nigrum, Persicaria tenella, Cosmos caudatus, Pandanus amaryllifolius, Curcuma mangga, Ocimum basilicum, Anacardium occidentale and Melicope ptelefolia, were investigated. Antioxidant activity of the methanolic extracts was evaluated by measuring the production of hydroperoxide and its degradation product (malonaldehyde) resulting from linoleic acid oxidation using ferric thiocyanate and thiobarbituric acid methods, respectively. Radical-scavenging potential was also evaluated using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical. Griess assay was used to assess NO-inhibitory activity of the extracts. All species, except P. confertum, S. torvum and P. amaryllifolius, showed antioxidant activity. M. ptelefolia, P. oleracea and R tenella showed in vitro activity on NO inhibition in murine peritoneal macrophages, whereas other plants showed no significant activity. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
