The sonocatalytic properties of the as-synthesized samples were investigated by degrading various organic dyes, including acid orange 7 (AOT), rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO), and methylene blue (MB), under ultrasonic irradiation, revealing that they exhibit excellent sonocatalytic activity toward the degradation of these dyes. Particularly, the synthesized bar-like particles with lengths of-3 μm and widths of-1μm have the highest sonocatalytic activity, and the degradation percentage of AO7 reaches 89% after 30 min of sonocatalysis. The effects of inorganic anions such as CI-, NO3-, SO42-, PO43-, and HCO3- on the sonocatalysis efficiency were investigated. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) detected by fiuorimetry using terephthalic acid as a probe molecule were found to be produced over the ultrasonic-irradiated LuFeO3 particles. The addition of ethanol, which acts as a· OH scavenger, leads to quenching of "OH radicals and a simultaneous decrease in the dye degrada- tion. This suggests that "OH is the dominant active species responsible for the dye degradation.展开更多

And their antioxidative as well as glycosidase inhibitory activities are investigated. Box-Behnken design (BBD) combined with response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to optimize ultrasonic extraction for polysaccharides. The optimized conditions are obtained as extraction time at 54 min, ultrasonic power at 1050 W, extraction temperature at 80℃ and ratio of material to solvent at 1:50 (g mL-1). Under these optimal ultrasonic extraction conditions, an actual experimental yield (5.75% + 0.3%) is close to the predicted result (5.67%) with no significant difference (P〉0.05). Vitro antioxidative and glycosidase inhibitory activities tests indicate that the crude polysaccharides (LJP) and two major ethanol precipitated fractions (LJP1 and LJP2) are in a concentration-dependent manner. LJP2 (30%-60% ethanol precipitated polysaccharides) possesses the strongest α-glucosidase in- hibitory activity and moderate scavenging activity against hydroxyl radicals (66.09% ±2.19%, 3.0 mg mL-l). Also, the inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase (59.08% ± 3.79%, 5.0 mg mL-1) is close to that of acarbose (63.99% ± 3.27%, 5.0 mg mL-l). LJP 1 (30% ethanol precipitated polysaccharides) exhibits the strongest scavenging activity against hydroxyl radicals (99.80%q-0.00%, 3.0mg mL-1) and moderate a-glucosidase inhibitory activity (47.76%± 1.92%, 5.0 mgmL-1). LJP shows the most remarkable DPPH scav- enging activity (66.20%±0.11%, 5.0mgmL-1) but weakest a-glucosidase inhibitory activity (37.77%±1.30%, 5.0mgmL-1). How- ever, all these LJPs exert weak inhibitory effects against a-amylase. These results show that UET is an effective method for extract- ing bioactive polysaccharides from seaweed materials. LJP 1 and LJP2 can be developed as a potential ingredient in hypoglycemic agents or functional food for the management of diabetes. This study provides scientific evidence and advances in the preparation technology and a hypoglycemic activities evaluation method for seaweed polysaccharides, especially glycosidase inhibition in com- bination with an antioxidative activity evaluation method.展开更多

The four surfactants(Tween 20, 40, 60, 80) were purified and their critical micelle concentrations(CMC) in phosphate buffer (pH=7.4) were measured. The SOD like activity of copper salicylate complex was assayed using the cytochrome c reduction method in different media. The cooperative effect of the complex with micelles was studied in detail. SOD like activity of the complex was enhanced in the presence of surfactants. The four surfactants themselves display SOD like activities to a certain extent. Similar results were obtained in the experiment for the antilipid peroxidation of red cell membrane. These results might be explained by the fact of micellar catalysis. It was suggested that the copper salicylate Tween system used as a potential antiinflammatory drug might be worthwhile to be further studied.展开更多

Kernels of four varieties of mangoes of Indian origin were studied. Kernels were extracted with five different solvents, tested for extraction efficiency and total phenolic content (TPC). As the methanol proved to be the best solvent, it was used for further analysis. The methanolic extracts of kernels had reducing power (RP) and scavenged 2, 2 diphenyl-l-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical, which is related to their antioxidant activity (AA). When analyzed in HPLC, the extracts showed the presence of phenolic compounds. The extracts had the higher capacity to reduce the formation of peroxides and slow down the rate of oxidation than butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT) in refined, bleached deodorized soybean oil (RBD SBO). Based on the results obtained mango kernels are potential source of natural antioxidants owing to their antioxidant activity.展开更多

Since these activities may be correlated with the presence of antioxidant compounds, extract of carrot and carrot callus were evaluated for their anthocyanin, flavonoids and total phenolic content as well as total antioxidant activity. Anthocyanin content was measured by spectrophotometric method. Total phenols and flavonoids were analyzed according to the Folin-Ciocalteu method and total antioxidant activity was assessed by ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Anthocyanin, flavonoids and total phenolic content were estimated to be 9.36 mg%, 46.96 mg% and 57.01 mg% for callus and 6.82 mg%, 32.96 mg% and 42.69 mg% for carrot, respectively, on fresh weight basis. The total antioxidant activity for the callus and carrot was found to be 51.13 mg, 118.77 mg, 91.08 mg and 140.08 mg equivalent and 79.40 mg, 184.44 mg, 141.43 mg and 217.52 mg equivalent to gallic acid, vitamin C, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and trolox, respectively, when expressed per 100 g on fresh weight basis. The antioxidant activity of fresh carrot was found to be higher compared to its callus.展开更多

Hybrid antioxidants cinnamoyldopamine(2a), p-coumaroyldopamine(2b), caffeoyldopamine(2c), feruloyldopamine(2d) and sinapoyldopamine(2e) were synthesized by conjugation of dopamine(DA) and hydroxycinnamic a...Hybrid antioxidants cinnamoyldopamine(2a), p-coumaroyldopamine(2b), caffeoyldopamine(2c), feruloyldopamine(2d) and sinapoyldopamine(2e) were synthesized by conjugation of dopamine(DA) and hydroxycinnamic acids(HCAs). The stabilities were studied in buffers at p H 1.3, p H 5.0, and p H 7.4 including the human plasma. All the compounds were found highly stable at acidic p H, but underwent hydrolysis at neutral p H. Furthermore, the hydrolysis proceeded much faster in plasma in the following order as indicated by half-life values(t1/2), 2c(1.21 h)〈2e(1.52 h)〈2d(1.85 h)〈2b(3.38 h)〈2a(3.88 h), correlating with the number of electron-donating groups. It has been proven by UV spectrum that 2c, 2d, and 2e displayed red shift of more than 50 nm as compared to 2a and 2b, because of the presence of OH and OCH3 groups. In addition, the compounds(2b–e) showed no cytotoxicity on normal HUVEC cells as DA, although 2a displayed a 16% inhibition of proliferation at 40 μM following 48 h incubation. Their free radical-scavenging activities were evaluated using ABTS^*+ and superoxide anion assays and the mechanisms were proposed. It was found that they all exhibited higher activities than trolox, a recognized antioxidant. Amazingly, in the case of the hybrids(2a–e), their activity was higher than that of HCAs while lower or comparable to that of DA, suggesting that there may be a "saturation effect" with the hybrid molecules in the antioxidant activities.展开更多
