Abstract: The effects of the extract of male anthotaxy of Populus canadensis Moench. on removal of active oxygen species in some modified chemical systems were investigated by chemiluminescence and spectrophotometry. The inhibition of the damage of DNA chain induced by hydroxyl radical by the extract from male anthotaxy was observed by chemiluminescence. The results showed that the extract could efficiently remove O2-•,• OH, H 2 O 2 and the 50% inhibition concentrations (IC 50 ) were 0. 69,1.73, 0.23mg/ml, respectively. The extract also protected DNA chains from being damaged by hydroxyl radical.

Key words: Populus canadensis Moench, male anthotaxy, active oxygen, DNA damage
