Abstract: Objective: To investigate the antioxidation capability of the water-soluble polysaccharide in vitro isolated from Semen Cassia Tora. Methods: The inhibitory effects of the purified water-soluble polysaccharides (C1A) on hemolysis of rat red blood cell induced by H2O2 and on production of rat blood serum malondialdehyde (MDA) were used to evaluate its antioxidation capability. Results: C1A decreased the hemolysis of rat red blood cell induced by H2O2, as the inhibitory rate is up to 45.31% with the concentration of 40.00%. C1A also decreases the output of blood serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and the inhibitory rate is up to 50.00% with concentration of 15.80%. Conclusion: the water-soluble polysaccharide of Semen Cassia Tora possess a strongc apability ofa ntioxidation.
