Abstract. In order to understand the synergetic effect between ginkgo leaves flavonoid and loquat leaves flavonoid, synergetic effect and optimal formulation of compound antioxidant were determined with the response surface method under DPPH system. The results showed the component ratio of optimal compound antioxidant was ginkgo leaves flavonoid 8.67µg ml -1 and loquat leaves flavonoid 76.44 µg ml -1,the DPPH scavenging rate of the system was 44.82%. Compound antioxidant of ginkgo leaves flavonoid and loquat leaves flavonoid had antagonistic action. Introduction Ginkgo leaves and loquat leaves are garden wastes.loquat leaves is a well known traditional chinese medicine used as antitussive and anti-inflammatory agent for acute and chronic bronchitis[1]. Phytochemical studies with this species have led to the isolation of many natural products including flavonoids, sesquiterpene and triterpenes glycoside[2-4].chemical components of ginkgo leaf mainly is flavonoids, alkaloids, post, etc, which has the function of the medicinal composition is mainly flavonoids[5].the garden wastes of loquat leaves and ginkgo leaves are rich in flavone and showed a higher scavenging activity [6-7]. DPPH method has been widely used in phytomedicine for the assessment of scavenging activities of bioactive fractions[8]. In this paper,the loquat leaves flavonoid and ginkgo leaves flavonoid as typical representative of natural garden wastes flavonoids,the DPPH scavenging rate as evaluation index of antioxidant activity, the synergetic effect and optimal formulation were determined using the response surface optimization method under DPPH scavenging system. Material and Methods Materials, Reagents Treatment process for test materials: fresh ginkgo leaves and loquat leaves(collected from our campus in March, 2015) cleaning drying(40 C) powdering eliminating impurities
with petroleum ether drying again grinding and sieving from 60 80 mesh screen for use. Rutin standard sample was purchased from chinese medicine group shanghai chemical reagent company,dpph was purchased from Sigma company,other reagents were of analytic grade. Distilled water was used throughout the experiment. Methods The Preparation of Flavonoid Accurate weighing dry garden wastes powder adding a certain amount of ethanol solution extracting agent extraction filtering macroporous absorbent resins(d-101) purification collected eluent constant volume measuring. Product Analysis According to the reported method in the article[9],content of flavonoids in the extract was determined using rutin as standard sample, the regression equation C (mg)=0.6503a+0.01032 between concentration of flavonoids and absorbance was established, the linear range was 0 ~ 1.0mg,the correlation coefficient r was 0.999 7. Antioxidant Test DPPH method is used to evaluate a natural antioxidant activity with sensitive,simple, rapid and feasible.dpph radical-scavenging activity was performed by the method described of Ying QL [8]. The stock solution (6.5 10-4 mol/l) was diluted to a dilution to 6.5 10-5 mol/l with 60% (v/v) ethanol. An aliquot of each dilution (1.0 ml) was mixed with solution of DPPH (5 ml, 6.5 10-5 mol/l). The mixtures were shaken vigorously and incubated in the dark at 37 C for 30 min. A control containing 60% (v/v) ethanol (1.0 ml) and solution of DPPH (5 ml, 6.5 10-5 mol/l) was run at the same time. The absorbance was measured at 517 nm against 60% (v/v) ethanol (5.0 ml) mixed tested extract solution(1.0 ml)as a blank. The percentage of DPPH scavenging was calculated as follows: P% =[1-(Ai-Aj)/A 0 ] 100, where A 0 is absorption of control, Aj is absorption of blank, Ai is absorption of tested extract solution. Synergy Analysis Method The effect produced exceeds the sum of their respective alone when used in combination of several substances, the synergistic effect is produced. The synergy evaluation method of antioxidant in vitro have direct comparison method, the addition method and the response surface method commonly. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is a effective for responses that can reflect the experimental method of synergistic effect between each factor[10], it can optimize process parameters by combination of mathematics and statistics method to fit the factors and response value.comparison of the response coefficients in the quadratic regression equations, can be quantified analysis factors influence on the composite antioxidant activity from the view of mathematics [11]. The subject chosen response surface methodology (RSM). Response Surface Test Method The Single Factor Test The flavonoid sample solution (1 mg/ml) was preparated with 60% (v/v) ethanol. The DPPH solution (5 ml, 6.5 10-5 mol/l) was mixed with sample solution. To add a small amount the sample solution at first, increases gradually, observe the fade of solution while still
mixing. When the solution basic color faded, remembered the concentration of sample.the maximum concentration was this concentration. Based on the maximum concentration, the single factor test was tested according to the antioxidant test method. Based on the coordination of the two factors, so choose to DPPH clearance is less than 50% of the three levels. The Response Surface Experimental Design According to the single factor experiment results, the concentration of ginkgo leaves flavonoid and loquat leaves flavonoid as independent variables,response surface methodology experiments of Box-Behnken design with 2 factors and 3 levels were chosen for formulation optimization. The factors and levels were listed in Table 1. Table 1. Levels of factors in response surface methodology.

Fig. 1 showed, it had a high dose effect relationship between ginkgo leaves flavonoid and scavenging DPPH free radical. The ability of scavenging DPPH increased with increasing concentration in the range of 100 µg/ml. The change of the scavenging DPPH ability tended to be stable when the concentration was more than 50 µg/ml. Three levels were of 6, 8, 10 µg/ml were determined at ginkgo leaves flavonoid concentration. The DPPH Scavenging Rate of the Loquat Leaves Flavonoid. Fig. 1 showed, the ability of scavenging DPPH increased with increasing concentration in the 100 µg/ml range of sample concentration. Three levels were of 20, 60, 100 µg/ml were determined at loquat leaves flavonoid concentration.
