Abstract:The antioxidant and analgesia activities of flavonoids from Capillary artemisia were studied. The results showed that the flavonoids from the Capillary artemisia had obvious scavenging activity in vitro against OH and DPPH free radicals and showed obvious inhibiting effects on peanut oil oxidation. In vivo experiments showed that the flavonoid from the Capillary artemisia resulted in a notable decrease in acetic acid-induced writhing number and feet-licking number induced by heat or formaldehyde, indicating that it had alleviating effect on pain in mice induced by chemicals and inflammatory reaction. The flavonoids from Capillary artemisia have obvious antioxidant and analgesic activities.
