Abstract

Objectives : This study evaluated the effect of Dioscoreae Rhizoma on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in vitro. Methods : In vitro experiments were made on antioxidant by DPPH radical scavenging activity, enzyme activity of SOD, protective effect about $H_2O_2$ and DNA fragmentation in RAW264.7 cells, as well as antimicrobial by Cox-2 expression in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Results : 1. Dioscoreae Rhizoma's antioxidant ability was improved by DPPH radical scavenging activity. 2. Antioxidant ability of Dioscoreae Rhizoma produced good results at more than 0.025 mg/$m{\ell}$. 3. On protective effect of Dioscoreae Rhizoma about $H_2O_2$ on RAW264.7 cells, with addition of Dioscoreae Rhizoma extract the cells' survival increased compared to adding $H_2O_2$ only. 4. About revelation-control of Cox-2 at RAW264.7 cells which induce by LPS, when Dioscoreae Rhizoma's concentration was higher from 0.0125 mg/$m{\ell}$ to 1 mg/$m{\ell}$, its control activity was stronger. Thus we found Dioscoreae Rhizoma has antimicrobial activity. 5. The power of DNA fragmentation control of Dioscoreae Rhizoma was time-independent. Conclusions : From this study we conclude that Dioscoreae Rhizoma has effects on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. However, considerable work still needs to be done studying antioxidants by concentration, as well as a variety of experiments about antimicrobial activity.
