Abstract: Flavone fraction was extracted from Kudzu with different protocols in this study. Protection against DNA damage by the extracts was demonstrated by CuSO4-Phen-VC-H2O2-DNA reaction. The photon count of the reacts suggested that flavones, a natural antioxidant, at the concentration 0.02~1000μg/ml could reduce (in amount) and delay DNA damage.

Key words: flavones, DNA damage, extraction, chemiluminescence
