 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 14 Polysaccharide from in vitro antioxidant activity Of: Liu Ting, Chen Hanfei, Zhao Wenbin, Li Defang, Wang Zhenhua, Qiu-Sheng Zheng, Chen Hanying [Abstract] Objective To study the polysaccharide from in vitro antioxidant activity. Methods OH, DPPH , superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation and erythrocyte hemolysis reaction system, the detection of polysaccharide from the antioxidant capacity. Are used colorimetric determined. polysaccharide from the results of the OH, DPPH , superoxide anion, lipid peroxidation and erythrocyte hemolysis were removed or inhibited. Conclusions polysaccharide from the in vitro antioxidant activity. [Keywords:] Lithospermum, polysaccharide, antioxidant Arnebia Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johns is soft Boraginaceae Lithospermum species, also known as Xinjiang soft Lithospermum, published in lt;”China Pharmacopoeiagt;gt;, is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine in China [1], mostly herbs, to Root used as medicine, because the root bark of dark purple, named “Lithospermum.” drug has a cooling blood, the effectiveness of detoxification Touzhen. shikonin has been shown antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic, anti-tumor and immune regulation, and physiological activity [2]. Modern medicine has proved cardiovascular disease, aging and tumor development and progression of disease and the body is closely related to reactive oxygen species, and many antioxidants can remove these free radicals , blocked by their induced lipid peroxidation, can prevent the development of the disease in recent years, it was discovered that drugs have the potential of natural antioxidants resources and find new anti-oxidants in modern medicine and health products industry development. polysaccharide is the second flavonoids, polyphenols, saponins and tannins found in plants from natural after another class of antioxidant components [3]. Many plant polysaccharides of various reactive oxygen spe
