Effects of Processing on Antioxidation of Ramulus Cinnamomi / 中成药

Objective: To investigate the effects of processing on antioxidation of Ramulus Cinnamomi .Method: The oxygen free radicals generation system in vitro and mouse liver homogenate lipid peroxidation reaction induced by hydroxy free radicals were used to estimate the effects. Results: Aqueous extracts of different processed products of Ramulus Cinnamomi were stronger than the alcohol extracts in the scavenging superoxide anion (O 2 -), but weaker in the scavenging hydroxyl free radical (?OH) and the anti lipid peroxidation. There were some existed differences among the different processed products. Conclusion: The processing affected the anti oxidation of Ramulus Cinnamomi .
