The Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Activities of Echinacea angustifolia Hot Water Extract

Purpose: This study attempted to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of <i>Echinacea angustifolia</i> extract.Methods: For analysis radical scavenging activities, DPPH, ABTS FRAP were performed. To analyze properties, in addition, polyphenol flavonoid concentrations measured. In cell-based assays, cytotoxicity assays performed, using RAW 264.7.Results: The results found followings: DPPH revealed 27.98% 20.29% respectively terms activities when compared ascorbic acid. assay, <i>E. extract (1 mg) showed 0.412±0.013 ?g reducing power (ascorbic acid). Polyphenol 104.42±3.21 mg/g 62.86±2.26 each. cytotoxicity, more than 80% cells survived after confirming low toxicity extract. reduced inflammatory response and, at same time, 51.07±4.58% inflammation-inhibiting 200 ?g/mL, potential E. angustifolia as an ingredient cosmeceuticals.Conclusion: These confirmed cosmeceuticals.
