Methanol extract of Melastoma malabathricum leaves exerted antioxidant and liver protective activity in rats

Table 1 The antioxidant profile and TPC value of MEMM, at the concentration of 200 μg/ml, as assessed using various oxidative assays

Sample	DPPH radical scavenging (%)	Superoxide radical scavenging (%)	TPC (mg/100 g GAE)	ORAC (μM TE/100 g)
Sample concentration (μg/ml)	200	200	200	-
Standard	Ascorbic acid (AA) 200 μg/ml	Superoxide dismutase (SOD) 6X10 ^-3 U/ml	Gallic acid (GAE) standard curve	Trolox standard curve
MEMM	99.1 ± 0.5^h	97.3 ± 0.3 ^h	2610.7 ± 16.5	27, 662.0 ± 377.56

Note: For DPPH Radical Scavenging and Superoxide Scavenging: ^h high (70-100%). For TPC, the TPC value >1000 mg GAE/100 g is considered High Total Phenolic content. TPC- Expressed as milligram equivalent to Gallic Acid per 100 g of dry weight (mg GAE/100 g). For ORAC value, expressed as μM Trolox Equivalent (TE)/100 g, are mean values from triplicate wells in duplicate experiments, with SEM < 20%.
