To isolate new antioxidants from Panax ginseng, methanol extract of Panax ginseng was fractionated into several subfractions and their antioxidant activities were measured by using ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl$(DPPH). Four compounds were isolated from two subfractions that showed high DPPH quenching activities by silica gel, ${\mu}$ Bondapak $C_{18}$ or Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. The four compounds were confirmed to be phenolic substances by color reaction and UV spectral analysis.

The antioxidative activity of antioxidative substances produced from several bacterial strains isolated from fermented foods were tested by $DPPH\;({\alpha},{\alpha}'-diphenyl-{\beta}-picrylhydrazyl)$ free radical scavenging activity. One of the strains showing the highest antioxidative activity was identified as Bacillus sp. based on the morphological, biochemical, physiological characteristics, and 16S rRNA sequence, and named FF-7. The most optimal medium condition for the production of antioxidative substance from Bacillus sp. FF-7 was 2% galactose as carbon source and l% tryptone as nitrogen source. The antioxidative substance produced from FF-7 in these cultural medium was also tested by in vitro experimental models, the peruxidation of linoleic acid and the peroxidation of rat tissues microsomes by using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) for assay of free malondialdehyde production. The antioxidative activity against lipid peroxidation of rat tissues microsomes was shown in the following order; brain 97.50% > heart 79.95% > kidney 77.84% > spleen 77.47% > testis 69.96% > liver 62.45%. The antioxidative substance produced from FF-7 on linoleic acid peroxidation by IBA method was effectively inhibited during four days, and 0.05% BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) used comparative control was also effectively inhibited. Results showed that the highest antioxidative activity by DPPH method of antioxidative substance produced from Bacillus sp. FF-7 was obtained by supplementing 2% galactose as carton source and l% tryptone as nitrogen source in cultured medium, this substance effectively inhibited the formation of TBARS in brain microsome in vit개 system and in linoleic acid peroxidation.

The inhibitory effects of the leaves of Eucalyptus darylmpleana (Myrtaceae) on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical was examined. The scavenging effect of the ethyl acetate fraction of Eucalyptus darylmpleana leaves on DPPH radical was stronger than the other fractions, and further purified by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid, gallic acid, quercetin, quercetin $3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnoside$, quercetin $3-O-{\beta}-_D-glucoside$ and quercetin 3-O-rutinoside were isolated and elucidated by spectroscopic data. Among these components, gallic acid and quercetin $3-O-{\alpha}-_L-rhamnoside$ exhibited potent scavenging activities on DPPH radical with $IC_{50}$ values of 6.02 and $5.54\;{\mu}M$, respectively.

Rhizoma of Smilax china has been used as anti-inflammatory and analgesic, antiedemic agent in Korean folk medicine. In order to investigate the efficacy of anti-oxidative activity, the activity-guided fractionation and the isolation were performed. Each fractions ($H_2O$ fraction, 20％, 40％, 60％, 100％ MeOH fractions and CHCl$_3$ fraction) was examined antioxidant activity by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging potential. It was revealed that 40％, 20％ MeOH fractions and $H_2O$ fractions have significant anti-oxidative activity. From 40％ and 20％ MeOH fractions two flavonoid glycosides and one procyanidin were isolated and elucidated apigenin-7-Ο-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1\longrightarrow2)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside, apigenin-7-Ο-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1\longrightarrow6)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and catechin(4$\alpha$\longrightarrow6)epicatechin through their physicochemical data and IR, FAB-MS, $^{13}$ C-NMR, and $^1$H-NMR analysis with authentics, respectively. The isolated compounds were examined by DPPH method. Apigenin-7-Ο-$\alpha$-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1\longrightarrow2)-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside and catechin (4$\alpha$\longrightarrow6) epicatechin showed powerful radical scavenging activities on DPPH radical among three compounds.

Antioxidative activities of pine (Pinus denstifora) needle extracts were tested in vitro experimental models. The concentration of total polyphenolic compound of water extracts from pine needle was 1.61 %. In DPPH ($\alpha$, $\alpha'$-diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl) method, the electron donating activity of 0.1 % water extracts from pine needle was as high as BHT (0.05%, w/v). The antioxidative activity was measured by inhibition against lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsome, and this activity was shown in the following: 67.7% at 0.1% concentration >63.1% at 0.05% concentration > 28.2% at 0.01% concentration. In antioxidative activity determined by thiocyanate method against lipid peroxidation using linoleic acid, the antioxidative activities at all concentration of 0.01 %, 0.05% and 0.1 % were much higher than control during 7 days. In TBA method, the antioxidative activity was increased with increasing concentration until 6 days. These results support that water extracts from pine needle contain antioxidative compounds.

In order to introduce new functions onto textile fabrics, cotton was treated with gallnut extracts. And then the anti-oxidant activity of fabrics treated with the extracts was evaluated by Blois method using DPPH(${\alpha},{\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl). The anti-oxidant activity was exhibited on the textile fabrics treated as well as by the extracts itself.

Red mustard leaf (RML) kimchi was prepared with native Brassica juncea czerniak et coss as a major raw material and antioxidative characteristics of crude anthocyanin (CA)/refined anthocyanin (RA) isolated from RML kimchi were studied. Among crude pigment fractions, CA fraction showed a higher inhibition rate of peroxide formation in linoleic acid autoxidation system. These effects seemed to be increased with the increase of CA concentration. CA also was considered to have a role of electron donor by the experiments using DPPH ($\alpha$, $\alpha$＇-diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl) reaction. Furthermore, various RA fractions had a higher antioxidative activity and especially RA-fraction 3 demonstrated the highest score of the antioxidative characteristics in terms of the prevention of lipid peroxidation and scavenging of free radicals.

The scavenging activity of herbal medicine mix was 88.28% activity at 0.5% concentration, and 90.61% activity at 5% concentration. In the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) anti-inflammatory test, the herbal remix showed a significant decrease in tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-𝛼) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) compared to the LPS-induced group. In the single dose toxicity test of herbal medicine mix, a dose of 2,000 mg/kg body weight (BW) was set at its highest capacity and observed after oral administration to female and male rats. No toxicological findings were recognized. It was observed that the resulting lethal dose can be set to 2,000 mg/kg BW or higher for both females and males. Conclusions The results of the experiment on herbal medicine mix showed that the marker compounds contents were beta-glucan and ginsenoside Rg3, that antioxidant activity was observed through the DPPH free radical scavenging activity, anti-inflammatory effect was observed through TNF-𝛼 and IL-6 measurement, and safety was confirmed through the single dose toxicity assessment.

As part of an ongoing search for natural plants with antioxidant compounds by measuring the radical scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), a total extract of the twigs of Galium spurium L. (Rubiaceae) was found to show potent antioxidant activity. Subsequent activity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract led to the isolation of nine compounds, asperulosidic acid methyl ester (1), asperuloside (2), caffeic acid (3), kaempferol-3-O-L-rhamnopyranoside (4), quercetin-3-O-[${\alpha}$-Lrhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside] (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-glucopyranoside (6), quercetin-3-O-${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranoside (7), kaempferol-3-O-[${\alpha}$-L-rhamnopyranosyl($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside] (8), and quercetin (9). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1, 3-8 were isolated for the first time from this plant. Among them, compounds 3 and 9 showed the significant radical scavenging effects on DPPH, and compounds 3 and 7 showed the potent riboflavin originated superoxide quenching activities.
