Superoxide anion radical (O2)-scavenging activities of aqueous extracts prepared from powdered leaves and stems of a Salacia plant were investigated by the phenazine methosulfate-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-nitro blue tetrazolium method. At a final concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, the activities of the extracts of Salacia leaves and stems were higher than those of the extracts of coriander seed, although the activities of Salacia leaves and stems were lower than that of tea leaves. The activity of the Salacia leaf was higher than that of the stem. The mixture of mangiferin, (-)-epicatechin, and (-)-epigallocatechin exhibited the same abilities as compared with the extract of the Salacia leaf in concentrations expected to be included in the extract.  Mangiferin, however, exhibited an inadequate ability as compared with the extract of the Salacia stem at the concentrations expected in 70 mg/mL of the extract. This suggests that polyphenols could be the active O2-scavenging components of the extracts of Salacia leaves and stems.
