The effects of decoctions prepared from Antrodia camphorata on antioxidant, nitrite scavenging, and antitumor activities were investigated. Glutathione (GSH) production was $18.2{mu}M/g$ of rat liver under the influence of a methanol extract, a result similar to with the effect of silymarin administration. GSH peroxidase activity was about 2.0-fold higher than with silymarin administration. Superoxide dismutase activity was 18.9 U/mg protein, about 2.5-fold higher than the control group. The hot water extract ($1000{mu}g/mL$) showed the highest nitrite scavenging activity at 98.1%, similar to those observed with BHA and vitamin E. Among a variety of human cancer cell lines, when the concentration of hot water extract was increased from 31 to $500{mu}g/mL$, the viability of Hep3B cell was decreased from 100 to 60.7%. On the other hand, in the case of methanol extract, it was decreased from 98.4 to 10.0%. These results supported the conclusion that the antioxidant, nitrite scavenging, and antitumor activities of this A. camphorata methanol extract indicate a potential source for the development of various health supplements and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
