peroxidation<br />
Nitric oxide radical scavenging activity<br />
Nitric oxide radical generated from sodium nitroprusside at<br />
physiological pH was found to be inhibited by the Premna<br />
serratifolia root extract. Concentration <strong>of</strong> 70% methanolc extract<br />
needed for 50% <strong>of</strong> inhibition <strong>of</strong> nitric oxide radical was 79 µg/ml<br />
(Figure 21).<br />
Lipid peroxidation activity<br />
The root extract was found to inhibit lipid peroxides generated by<br />
induction <strong>of</strong> Fe 2+ /ascorbate <strong>and</strong> Fe 3+ /ADD/ascorbate in rat liver<br />
homogenate. Concentration <strong>of</strong> methanolic extract needed for 50%<br />
inhibition <strong>of</strong> lipid peroxides was 60 µg/ml (Figure 21).<br />
