Toxicol In Vitro. 2008 Aug;22(5):1264-72. Epub 2008 Apr 18.

TOF and chloroform extracts exhibit antioxidant properties, expressed by the capacity of these extracts to inhibit xanthine oxidase activity.

RESULTS: Among the fractions tested, the chloroform fraction exhibited highest potency (IC (50) 21.2+/-1.6 microg/ml) followed by the pet-ether (IC (50) 30.2+/-2.2 microg/ml), ethyl acetate (IC (50) 44.9+/-1.4 microg/ml) and residual (IC (50) 100+/-3.3 microg/ml) fractions.

The root extracts (methanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate) and proteins, obtained in distilled water, inhibited bovine, sheep and human milk XO from three species in a concentration-dependent manner, with an additional superoxide scavenging capacity, which reached its highest level with ethyl acetate extract (IC (50) = 0.15, 0.04 and 0.09 g/L) for bovine XO, sheep XO and human XO, respectively.

Toxicol In Vitro. 2009 Feb;23(1):166-75. Epub 2008 Oct 30.

The mutagenic potential of total aqueous, total oligomers flavonoids (TOF), ethyl acetate (EA), chloroform (Chl), petroleum ether (PE) and methanol (MeOH) extracts from aerial parts of Moricandia arvensis was assessed using Ames Salmonella tester strains TA100 and TA1535 with and without metabolic activation (S9), and using plasmid pBluescript DNA assay.
Antioxidant capacity of the tested extracts was evaluated using the enzymatic (xanthine/xanthine oxidase assay) (X/XOD) and the non enzymatic (NBT/Riboflavine assay) systems.

All of the solvent fractions showed potent anti-oxidative effects, as assessed using a radical generation assay system (xanthine oxidase assay) and an electron-donating activity system (DPPH [2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl radical] assay), with IC50 values ranging from 9 to 42 microg/ml.
All of the solvent fractions significantly suppressed NO production in RAW264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 0.1 microg/ml) and of the fractions, only the chloroform (CHC) fraction completely blocked the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS).

Among the solvent extracts of E. multiflora, the ethyl acetate extract (EE) exhibited the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical and xanthine oxidase inhibition activity, as well as the greatest tyrosinase inhibition activity.
Only the chloroform extract (CE) inhibited platelet aggregation, and that was a weak effect with 19.29% inhibition at 250 microg/mL, as compared to controls.

Its methanolic, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane fractions were evaluated against CCl (4)-induced nephrotoxicity in rat.
RESULTS: CCl (4) exposure led to a significant oxidative stress in kidneys which was remarkably attenuated with co-administration of various fractions and rutin thereby increased the level of CAT, POD, SOD, GSH, GSR, GST, GSH-Px, quinone reductase, while reduced the xanthine oxidase, gamma-GT, TBARS, H (2) O (2), nitrite, tissue proteins and DNA fragmentation%.

Drug Chem Toxicol. 2009;32(3):283-92.

Ethyl acetate, chloroform, and methanol extracts were prepared from powdered Phlomis flowers and characterized for the presence of tannins, flavonoids, iridoids, sterols, cardiac glycosides, and anthraquinones.
All the extracts showed increased activity in scavenging the ABTS free radical, but only ethyl acetate and methanol extracts were active in scavenging the superoxide anion generated by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system.
