ABTS scavenging activity
The extracts from four organs were also measured and compared for
their free radical scavenging activity against the ABTS radical cation.
figure 4 shows that all extracts used in this study had significant
ABTS radical scavenging activities. The IC50 values ABTS radical
scavenging activities of LE, STE, FE and SE were in the range of 340
8.5 g/ml at 469 12.02 g/ml, the highest ABTS radical scavenging activities was found in SE IC50=340 8.5 g/ml, the medium in FE
384.94 10.34 g/ml, STE 428.21 9.50 g/ml and the lowest value in
LE IC50=27.04 0.65 g/ml.

Anti-inflammatory Activity
The 15-lipoxygenase inhibiting activity was measured using the 96well microplate- based ferric oxidation of xylenol orange(FOX) assay.
In a preliminary screening to select samples for dose-response study
,extracts and the reference compounds (Forskolin) were tested at a
single concentration of 150 g/mL. The results presented in Figure 5
show that all the extracts investigated had a high level of 15lipoxygenase inhibitory effect. For the concentration at 150 g/mL,
the percentage of inhibition of SE, FE, ETE, LE and Forskolin
62.451.53%, 53.781.42%, 45.951.23%, 33.821.07% and
41.581.38% respectively.
