curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L.); antioxidant activity; free radical scavenging activities; various extracts
The in vitro antioxidant properties of different extracts (water, alcohol, alcohol:water, hexane or chloroform extract) of curry leaves (Murraya koenigii L.) were evaluated using various assays. The alcohol:water (1: 1) extract of curry leaves (AWEC) showed the highest antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. It inhibited membrane lipid peroxidation by 76%, at 50 mu g/ml, scavenged 93% of superoxides at 200 mu g/3 ml and scavenged approximately 90% of hydroxyl and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazayl radicals at 4-5-fold lower concentrations compared to the other tested extracts. In addition, the alcohol:water extract reduced cytochrome c and ferric ion levels, chelated ferrous ions and inhibited ferrous sulfate: ascorbate-induced fragmentation and sugar oxidation of DNA. These results establish the antioxidant potential of AWEC, which could be used as natural antioxidant source. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
