摘要: Along with plant sources, arthropods (such as millipedes) are also known for their antioxidant activities that can help combat human ailments. Therefore, methanolic extracts of males and females two endemic giant pill-millipedes the Western Ghats (Arthrosphaera fumosa Pocock Arthrosphaera magna Attems) were evaluated potential. The bioactive principles assessed total phenolics, activity, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl or DPPH radical scavenging, ferrous ion chelation, reducing power hydrogen peroxidase scavenging. Significant differences shown between species, sexes within millipede species in scavenging chelation. Total phenolics EC50 activity differed significantly only sexes. This study clearly demonstrated capacity extract spp. is comparable to ascorbic acid standard possesses potential ability against reactive oxygen generated during oxidative stress.
