DNA damage protection activity of methanolic extracts of M. pruriens seeds (a) and F. praecox roots (b). L1 = Plasmid DNA (pDNA), control; L2 = pDNA + Fenton’s Reagent. In (a) L3 = pDNA + FR + M. pruriens Seed Extract; L4 = pDNA + FR + M. pruriens Leaf Extract; L5 = pDNA + FR + M. pruriens Stem Extract; L6 = pDNA + FR + M. pruriens Root Extract. In (b) L3 = pDNA + FR + F. praecox Root Extract; L4 = pDNA + FR + F. praecox Leaf Extract; L5 = pDNA + FR + F. praecox Stem Extract. Arrows indicate distinct forms of plasmid DNA: OC (open circular); SC (supercoiled).
