Total phenols,flavonoids, and procyanidins levels and total antioxidant activity of different Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis) varieties

Total phenols,flavonoids,procyanidins,and total antioxidant capacity,measured with ferric reducing antioxidant power,radical scavenging capacity,and oxygen radical absorption capacity assays were first evaluated in the extracts of the shells,skins and kernels of 10 varieties of Pinus koraiensis.Results indicate that these varieties had strong radical scavenging capacities,ferric reducing antioxidant power and oxygen radical absorption capacities.Phenolic,flavonoid and procyanidin values ranged from 138.6(#3 kernel)to 518.6(#10 shell)mg GAE/g,from 23.3(#2 kernel)to 70.8(#5 skin)mg RE/g,from 2.5(#2 kernel)to 142.1(#7 skin)mg CE/g,respectively.Radical scavenging capacity and ferric reducing antioxidant power values were positively correlated to the polyphenol contents which play a major role in antioxidant properties.The varieties may be divided into two groups by cluster analysis and the variables being measured.These results will be useful for breeding varieties and guiding their production.     

In vitro antioxidant activity of ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Asteraceae) herb

The antioxidant activity in 70% aqueous acetone extracts of the herb of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., Asteraceae was evaluated with regards to total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. Antioxidant activity has been assessed by two commonly used in vitro tests, based on determination of ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP assay) and DPPH free radical scavenging ability (DPPH assay), against butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), ascorbic acid and quercetin, which were used as positive control substances. The results of both antioxidant tests showed that the plant material expressed a considerable activity (DPPH IC₅₀ = 27.6 μg/ml; FRAP value = 2.37 mmol Fe²⁺/g), attributed to both flavonoid aglyca and resembling glycosides, as verified by dot-blot TLC analysis.

Apoptotic and free radical scavenging properties of the methanolic extract of Gentianella alborosea

Gentianella alborosea ("Hercampure") is a Peruvian species used in folk medicine for the treatment of a variety of health disorders. We tested the free radical scavenging (DPPH) and induction of apoptosis on a human uterus tumor cell line (HeLa) by its methanolic extract. The results showed a noticeable radical scavenging activity and a dose-dependent apoptotic effect.     

Antioxidant and 15-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of rotenoids, isoflavones and phenolic glycosides from Sarcolobus globosus

From Sarcolobus globosus, two rotenoids (villosinol and 6-oxo-6a,12a-dehydrodeguelin), one isoflavone (genistin) and four phenolic glycosides (vanillic acid 4-O-beta-d-glucoside, glucosyringic acid, tachioside and isotachioside) were identified for the first time from this species. Extracts and compounds from S. globosus were evaluated for their DPPH radical scavenging and 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) inhibitory activities. All tested rotenoids were found to inhibit 15-LO, while they lacked DPPH radical scavenging effect.     

Free radical scavenging activity of different extracts and some constituents from the leaves of Ligustrum vulgare and L. delavayanum

The free radical scavenging activity of the water infusions, different organic solvent extracts and some constituents from Ligustrum vulgare and Ligustrum delavayanum leaves was assessed with the aid of DPPH radical. Among the samples screened, water infusions had the strongest free radical scavenging capacity. From the tested compounds scavenging active flavonoid aglycones are present in the most active chloroform fractions from both leaves samples.
