The antioxidant activity was tested using the 1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl （DPPH） free radical-scavenging assay, the hydrogen peroxide-induced luminot chemiluminescence （CL） assay and hydroxyl free radical-initiated chemiluminescence （CL） assay. All the fractions exerted significant inhibitory effects on hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl free radical. The extracts of EA, EaF and BuF could also showed inhibition on DPPH. Among of them, the extracts of EaF showed full of antioxidant activity on the three tested system. The result suggested that the marine agrobacterium 1202 is a potential source of natural antioxidantagent.展开更多

In this study, the antioxidant activities of eight hydroxystilbenes （five synthesized hydroxystilbene derivatives and three other compounds） were evaluated with the free radiced scavenging model 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydraxyl. It was observed that there exists a very significant linear rehtionship between the reciprocal of the EC50 value of each of the compounds and the maximum wavelength of the ultraviolet absorption peaks, It is believed that this result will be helpful for the further synthesis of such antioxidants.展开更多

This plant is extensively used by local population against diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of the aqueous A. aretioides extract on lipid metabolism in normal and strepto-zotocin （STZ）-induced diabetic rats and to identify the polyphenolic compounds present. In addition, the in vitro antioxidant activity of the aqueous A. aretioides extract was also evaluated. Methods： The effect of an aerial part aqueous extract （APAE） ofA. aretioides （5 mg/kg of lyophilized A. are-tioides APAE） on plasma lipid profile was investigated in normal and STZ-induced diabetic rats （n = 6） after once daily oral administration for 15 days. The aqueous extract was tested for its 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl （DPPH） radical-scavenging activity. Polyphenolic compounds in the extracts were defini-tively characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. Results： In diabetic rats, oral administration ofA. aretioides APAE provoked a significant decrease in both plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels from the first to the second week （P 〈 0.01）. A significant decrease on plasma triglyceride levels was also observed in normal rats （P 〈 0.01）, where the reduction was 53%. In addition, the phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of 12 polyphenolic compounds. Moreover, according to the DPPH radical-scavenging activity, the aqueous extract showed an in vitro antioxidant activity. Conclusion： Aqueous A. aretioides APAE exhibits lipid-lowering and in vitro antioxidant activities. Many polyphenols were present in this extract and these phytoconstituents may be involved in the pharmaco-logical activity of this plant.展开更多

We investigated the antioxidant capacities of turmeric ethanol soaking extracts by utilizing the scavenging properties of hydroxyl radical and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH） free radical. The results showed that the optimum extraction parameters were： extraction time 4 h, sample-solvent ratio 1：84.12, solvent 72.34% ethanol solution, and water bath temperature 81.3 ℃. The optimum ethanol soaking extraction parameters were： extraction time 4 h, sample-solvent ratio 1：90.74, solvent 80.46% ethanol solution, water bath temperature 88.2 ℃. With these parameters, the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate and the DPPH free radical clearance of crude extracts from turmeric can reach about 93.78% and 40.69%, respectively. These results indicate that ethanol soaking extraction may be a useful method for extracting antioxidants from turmeric.展开更多
