Vaccinium spp. have in vitro antiradical activity on chemically generated superoxide radicals. The
extracts also inhibit xanthine oxidase. All crude extracts were highly active toward chemically
generated superoxide radicals. Ribes nigrum extracts exhibited most activity, being the richest in
both anthocyanins and polyphenols. But Ribes rubrum extracts seem to contain more active sub-
stances (X1332092).BLACKBERRY LILY (Belamcanda chinensis (L.) DC.) ++Synonym — B. punctata Moench, Gemmingia chinensis Kuntze, Ixia chinensis L.Activities (Blackberry Lily) — Alexeteric (f; WO2); Antiallergic (1; WO3); Antiasthmatic
