Abstract:

Erigeron breviscapus (vant.) Hand. Mazz. is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicinal plants for cardiopathy. Erigeron breviscapus mainly contains flavonoids and caffeic acids, which have obvious antioxidant activities. To study the possibility of developing Erigeron breviscapus as a cosmetics material, the antioxidant activity of Erigeron breviscapus cosmetic ingredients (EBCI) was studied and a method for simultaneous determination of two index compounds therein was established. The scavenging activities of EBCI against DPPH, ABTS and ·OH radicals were evaluated by in vitro method. The effects of EBCI on cell viability and glutathione (GSH) content were investigated by using H2O2-induced damage in HHF-1 cells. HPLC method for simultaneous determination of scutellarin and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid in EBCI was established. The results show that EBCI have scavenging activities against DPPH, ABTS and ·OH radicals, with IC50 values being 46.93, 91.36 and 89.37 μg/mL, respectively. The cell viability of H2O2-induced injury in HFF-1 cells and the GSH content in the cells could be significantly increased at the concentrations of 4 and 20 μg/mL. 4,5-Dicaffeoylquinic acid and scutellarin showed good linearity in the linear ranges of 0.008 5-0.340 9 mg/mL and 0.009 3-0.372 2 mg/mL, respectively. Average recoveries of scutellarin and 4,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid were 103.47% and 103.38% (RSD<2%), respectively. This method is accurate, simple and well reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of EBCI. It shows the antioxidant activity of EBCI in this study.
