Abstract

Objectives: To summarize and make a reference number of herbal plant-derived antioxidant researches worldwide. Methods: We surveyed all papers of antioxidant-focused studies using plants in PubMed database as "herbal plant AND antioxidant" of Default Tag "Title". The type of materials used in the studies, formation of experiments, frequency of herbal plants studied and their actions, and main study subjects were analyzed. Results: The number of studies on herbal plant-related antioxidant effects have increased worldwide since 2000. Studies have been performed using mainly single plant and single compounds for medical disorders such as immunity, heart/blood, liver, and central nerve functions. The list of plants frequently includes SalviamiltiorrhizaBge.,GinkgobilobaL., ScutellabaicalensisGeorgi.,and so on. Most of these plants have strong effects against oxidative stress and also against free radicals and increase the activities of antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion: This study produced an overview of previous research on antioxidant-focused herbal plants. This result will provide useful information for the field of Korean traditional medicine for the development of drugs related to antioxidants.
