The highest contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid compounds were and mg/g in water extract from leaves, respectively. The protein content was the highest at mg/g in water extract from leaves. Ethanol extract from stems showed the highest content of reducing sugars at mg/g. In the measurement of electron donating ability (EDA), ethanol extract from stems showed the highest EDA at 93.41% at a concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. Superoxide dismutase-like activity of ethanol extract from leaves was the highest at 8.13% at a concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. In the analysis of nitrate scavenging activity, water extract from leaves showed the highest activity at 94.90% at ph 1.2, and the activity increased as concentration increased and ph decreased. In the measurement of xanthine oxidase inhibition, ethanol extract from stems showed the highest inhibitory activity at 66.67% at a concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. Especially, nitrate scavenging activities of water extract from leaves were the highest under all ph conditions. These results verify that extracts from leaves of A. japonica have strong antioxidant activity and can be used as an effective antioxidant source for nutraceutical foods, medicines, and cosmetic stuffs.

SOD 유사활성은페놀성화합물과 flavonoids 화합물함량이많을수록 SOD 유사활성또한증가하는것으로알려져있으나 (49), 본실험에서는잎의물추출물인 가폴리페놀및플라보노이드화합물함량이높았으나 SOD 유사활성능은낮게나타났다. 이는모든페놀성화합물이동일한항산화력을가지지않으므로쇠무릎의페놀성화합물의함량이높아도 SOD 유사활성을나타내는페놀성물질의함량이낮은것으로판단된다. 이에 superoxide의반응성을억제하여활성산소상태로부터생체를보호하는것으로알려져있는 SOD 유사활성능에대한추가적인연구가필요할것으로판단된다. 아질산염소거능니트로사민의생성을억제하기위해위장내의조건과유사한 ph 1.2와 3.0 그리고 6.0의조건에서쇠무릎잎과줄기의아질산염소거효과를측정한결과 는 ph 1.2, 1.0 mg/ml의농도에서 94.90%, 는 89.6% 로가장높은아질산염소거능을나타내었다 (Table 3). 쇠무릎줄기추출물인 와 는각각 15.43% 와 19.84% 로쇠무릎잎이줄기보다약 4.5 6배높았으며, 특히 는 0.3 mg/ml의낮은농도에서 61.03% 의우수한소거활성을나타내었다. ph 3.0의조건에서는 1.0 mg/ml의농도에서 와 가 45.20% 와 42.93% 로가장높았고, ph 6.0의조건에서는모든추출물이 10% 이하의낮은활성을나타내었다. 모든추출물은 ph가낮을수록그리고농도가증가함에따라아질산염소거활성도증가하였다 (P<0.05). 이러한결과를, 약용및식용식물로많이이용되고있는쑥추출물이 ph 1.2의 1.0 mg/ml의농도에서 40%, 에탄올추출물은 41% 의아질산염소거효과를나타낸다는 Park과
