Abstract

Ark shell (Scapharca broughtonii; Korean name, pijogae) is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed shellfishes in Korea. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of ark shell. After preparing the methanol extract of ark shell powder, the extract was subsequently fractionated by hexane, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate and water. The antioxidant activity evaluated by DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power was relatively higher in the water fraction; however, the activity was spread out in all fractions. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was the highest in the diethyl ether fraction. Taken together with the results of both antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities, it can be suggested that different kinds of physiological compounds were contained in the ark shell.
