Ethanol extract (EE), hexane (Hex), dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate (Ac), and hydroethanol (HE) fractions, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT) and ascorbic acid (AA). IC50: concentration (in μg/mL) of samples required to inhibit the formation of DPPH radicals by 50%. TFC: total flavonoids content: results expressed as μg of rutin equivalents/mg of extract or fraction. CC50: concentration that killed 50% of cells; CL: confidence limits. Each value in the table is the mean ± standard deviation (). ap < 0.05 compared with BHT, bp < 0.05 compared with AA.
