Uncaria rhynchophylla (UR) is widely used as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine. However, there are few studies on antioxidant activity of UR extracts. The study was aimed at determining the antioxidant activity, the contents of polyphenol and flavonoid of UR extracts. Various assays were employed to evaluate the antioxidant property of water and ethanol extracts from the UR, compared to those of the other natural and synthetic antioxidants. UR extracts had high total phenolic contents in both the water (160 ± 2.32 mg GAE/g extracts) and ethanol extracts (190.2 ± 3.16 mg GAE/g extracts). In addition, total flavonoid contents were high in both the water extracts (154 ± 1.47 mg CE/g extracts) and ethanol extracts (184.2 ± 2.41 CE/g extracts). Specially, DPPH radical scavenging activity of ethanol extracts from UR were similar with vitamin C as a positive control. In addition, antioxidant capacity in ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were higher than that for BHT, which was used as a positive control. The antioxidant activity of extracts from UR showed stronger activity than those of vitamin C and α-tocopherol in ferric thiocyanate (FTC) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods. The ethanol extracts of UR protected on H2O2-induced DNA damage. In addition, cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic effect of ethanol extracts from UR was also investigated in t-BHP-induced hepatotoxicity. Therefore, these results indicate that UR extracts have antioxidant properties through its ability to enhance the cell viability, mediation of production of ROS. The UR extracts could be suitable as an antioxidant in the food industry. 相似文献

Capillary electromigration methods, zone electrophoresis (CZE), micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CMEKC) and isotachophoresis (CITP), have been used for analysis of water and water-buffer extracts from tree-common birch (Betula verrucosa) and grass-orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) pollen samples. Water extracts were analyzed by CZE using acetic acid as background electrolyte (BGE), by CMEKC in tris-phosphate BGE with anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar pseudophase (TP-SDS) and by CITP in cationic mode with leading/terminating cations K+/BALA+ (beta-alanine (BALA)) and in anionic mode with leading/terminating anions Cl-/MES- (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulphonic acid (MES)). Moreover, acetic acid extracts were analyzed by CZE using acetic acid as BGE, and alkaline water-SDS-buffer extracts were analyzed by CMEKC using TP-SDS as BGE. Extracted amounts of pollen allergens and other UV-absorbing compounds and the number of resolved components were evaluated from CZE, CMEKC and CITP analyses of the liquid extracts. Larger amounts of UV-absorbing material were found in the water-buffer pollen extracts than in the water extracts. More UV-absorbing material was found in all extracts from D. glomerata pollen than in relevant extracts from B. verrucosa pollen. It was found by CITP that the extracted amounts of anionic components and their number were much higher than those of cationic components. Concentrations of some inorganic ions (e.g. Cl-, K+, Na+, Ca2+) in pollen samples were also determined by CITP. 相似文献

Over four-hundred crude extracts from 202 plant species distributed among 131 plant families were evaluated for their bioactivity against brine shrimp (Artemia salina). Activity was determined for both the organic (CH2Cl2:MeOH) and aqueous extracts against A. salina in a 96 well-plate assay. Of the greater than four-hundred extracts tested, 21 organic and 6 aqueous extracts demonstrated potent cytotoxic activity (LC50 = < 100 microg/ml). Three of these organic extracts (Crateva religiosa, Diospyros dichrophylla, and Olax subscorpioidea) were chosen for chemical investigations due to their high activity and a lack of prior investigations. Chemical analysis of these extracts resulted in the isolation of oleanolic acid (1) and 4-epi-hederagenin (2) from C. religiosa, isodiospyrin (3) from D. dichrophylla, and santalbic acid (4) from O. subscorpioidea. 相似文献

Effects of extracts from Vicia faba were compared with those of Zea mays for the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and of chromosome aberrations (CAs) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. CA induction by the maize extract was also tested in human lymphocytes. The extracts from roots and leaves of Vicia faba induced CAs and SCEs in CHO cells. The extracts from maize leaves also induced SCEs and CAs in CHO cells, and CAs in human lymphocytes. Maize extracts were more potent in inducing SCEs than Vicia extracts and the SCE- and CA-inducing capacity of maize extracts decreased during preincubation before addition to cells. 相似文献

Antioxidant activities of enzymatic extracts from brown seaweeds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Potential antioxidative activities of enzymatic extracts from seven species of brown seaweeds were evaluated using four different reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging assays containing DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-pricrylhydrazyl) free radical, superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay. The brown seaweeds were enzymatically hydrolyzed to prepare water-soluble extracts by using five carbohydrate degrading enzymes (Viscozyme, Celluclast, AMG, Termamyl and Ultraflo) and five proteases (Protamex, Kojizyme, Neutrase, Flavourzyme and Alcalase) of commercial and inexpensive enzymes obtained from Novozyme Co. (Novozyme Nordisk, Bagsvaerd, Denmark). The enzymatic extracts exhibited more prominent effects in hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity (approximately 90%) compared to the other scavenging activities and the activity of enzymatic extracts was even higher than that of the commercial antioxidants. In particular, Ultraflo and Alcalase extracts of S. horneri were dose-dependent and thermally stable. Moreover the two enzymatic extracts strongly inhibited DNA damage (approximately 50%). Those extracts showed significantly (p<0.05) remarkable scavenging effects in DPPH free radical scavenging assay and the activity indicated a marked correlation with phenolic contents. From the results, enzymatic extracts of the brown seaweeds might be valuable antioxidative sources. 相似文献

Antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts from seeds in fresh Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miq.) and wine processing waste 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The antioxidant potential of ethanol extracts from defatted Bokbunja seed wastes generated during wine processing were estimated by radical scavenging abilities (DPPH(*), H(2)O(2), and O(2)(*-)), retardation of lipid oxidation, and iron ion-chelating characteristics. For comparison, ethanol extracts from seeds of fresh ripe Bokbunja fruits were also used. The ethanol extracts from the wine seed waste always showed higher scavenging activities against DPPH(*), H(2)O(2), and O(2)(*-) than those from the fresh seeds. The oxidation of linoleic acid in dimethylsulfoxide at 105 degrees C revealed that the kinetic behavior clearly obeyed pseudo-zero-order regardless of the linoleic acid concentration. The Fe(II)-chelating capacity was determined by the Freundlich isotherm. The results showed high potential and favorability of the two extracts for Fe(II) chelation. The Freundlich chelation capacities (mg(1-1/n)L(1/n)/g) of both ethanol extracts from seeds of fresh Bokbunja and wine processing wastes, tannic acid, and proanthocyanidin from Pinus radiata bark were 100, 224, 260, and 307, respectively. The Fe(III)-chelating properties of the ethanol extracts were considered to be deeply associated with its 3',4',5'-trihydroxyl (galloyl) group as with tannic acid. 相似文献

Compounds from rhizomes of Zingiber officinale, commonly called ginger, have been purported to have anti-inflammatory actions. We have used an in vitro test system to test the anti-inflammatory activity of compounds isolated from ginger rhizome. U937 cells were differentiated and exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Escherichia coli (1 microg/ml) in the presence or absence of organic extracts or standard compounds found in ginger (6-, 8-, 10-gingerol or 6-shogaol) for 24 h. Supernatants were collected and analyzed for the production of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) by standard ELISA assays. Predominant compounds in the organic extracts were identified as 6-, 8- 10-gingerols and 6-, 8-, 10-shogaols. Organic extracts or standards containing gingerols were not cytotoxic, while extracts or standards containing predominantly shogaols were cytotoxic at concentrations above 20 microg/ml. Crude organic extracts of ginger were capable of inhibiting LPS induced PGE(2) (IC(50)<0.1 microg/ml) production. However, extracts were not nearly as effective at inhibiting TNF-alpha (IC(50)>30 microg/ml). Thirty three fractions and subfractions, prepared by column chromatography, were analyzed for bioactivity. Extracts containing either predominantly gingerols or shogaols (identified by HPLC) were both highly active at inhibiting LPS-induced PGE(2) production (IC(50)<0.1 microg/ml), while extracts that contained unknown compounds were less effective (IC(50)<3.2 microg/ml). Extracts or standards containing predominantly gingerols were capable of inhibiting LPS-induced COX-2 expression while shogaol containing extracts had no effect on COX-2 expression. These data demonstrate that compounds found in ginger are capable of inhibiting PGE(2) production and that the compounds may act at several sites. 相似文献

Lipophilic Extracts from Needles and Defoliated Twigs of Pinus pumila from Two Different Populations
Alexander V. Shpatov Sergey A. Popov Olga I. Salnikova Emma N. Shmidt Suk Woo Kang Sang Min Kim Byung Hun Um 《化学与生物多样性》2013,10(2):198-208
Hexane extracts of needles and defoliated twigs of Pinus pumila (Pall. ) Regel from two distant populations, located in the southwest and the east (i.e., Lake Baikal region and Sakhalin Island) of the species distribution range were studied by GC/MS analysis. Composition and retention indices of major components were determined. A drastic composition divergence for the extracts of P. pumila needles and defoliated twigs, depending on growth location, was established. Needle extracts from the eastern population sample contained mainly labdane‐type acids (anticopalic acid derivatives), whereas the predominant components of needle extracts from the other population sample were abietane‐type acids (abietic, neoabietic acids) and isopimarane‐type diterpenoids (sandaracopimaric acid, sandaracopimaradien‐3β‐ol). The main components of defoliated twig extracts from Sakhalin Island population sample were abietane‐type acids and cembrane‐type diterpenoids, while content of these compounds in the extracts of the southwestern marginal population sample was remarkably lower. 相似文献

This study investigated the antioxidant and genotoxic properties of 13 South African herbal extracts. Results from the single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet) assay indicated that there were profound differences between the plant extracts in their ability to produce DNA damage, which varied from highly genotoxic to protective. Similarly, water and methanol extracts of all the herbal preparations showed variable potencies in scavenging hydroxyl radicals, as measured by means of electron spin resonance spectrometery (ESR) with the spin trap alpha-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN). In general, methanol extracts were better scavengers of hydroxyl radicals than the corresponding water extracts. This was also true of the ability of these extracts to inhibit membrane lipid peroxidation, assessed with diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine (DPPP). However, neither methanol nor water extracts had the ability to protect against DNA damage. The results show that further research on South African traditional herbal extracts is imperative to gain understanding of the mechanisms involved in their pharmacological effects. The tests implemented in the present investigation are recommended for screening other herbal extracts. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of seven ethanolic extracts and three aqueous extracts from various parts (leaves, stems and flowers) of A. aroma against 163 strains of antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria. The disc diffusion assay was performed to evaluate antibacterial activity of the A. aroma crude extracts, against several Gram-positive bacteria (E. faecalis, S. aureus, coagulase-negative stahylococci, S. pyogenes, S. agalactiae, S. aureus ATCC 29213, E. faecalis ATCC 29212) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli., K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis, E. cloacae, S. marcescens, M morganii, A. baumannii, P. aeruginosa, S. maltophilia, E. coli ATCC 35218, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853, E. coli ATCC 25922). All ethanolic extracts showed activity against gram-positive bacteria. Among all obtained extracts, only leaf and flower fluid extracts showed activity against Gram-negative bacteria. Based on this bioassay, leaf fluid extracts tended to be the most potent, followed by flower fluid extracts. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of extracts and antibiotics were comparatively determined by agar and broth dilution methods. Both extracts were active against S. aureus, coagulase-negative stahylococci, E. faecalis and E. faecium and all tested Gram-negative bacteria with MIC values from 0.067 to 0.308 mg/ml. In this study the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were identical or twice as high than the corresponding MIC for leaf extracts and four or eight times higher than MIC values for flower extracts. This may indicate a bactericidal effect. Stored extracts have similar antibacterial activity as recently obtained extracts. The A. aroma extracts of leaves and flowers may be useful as antibacterial agents against Gram- negative and Gram-positive antibiotic multi-resistant microorganisms. 相似文献

Antioxidant Activities of Some Extracts of Thymus zygis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The antioxidant activities of methanol and ethyl ether extracts obtained from Thymus zygis, collected during the flowering or non-flowering period, were evaluated and compared. To investigate this potential, extracts were tested on their capacity to react with diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in a homogeneous medium, and to inhibit Fe2+/ascorbate-induced membrane lipid peroxidation, as estimated by the formation of thiobar-bituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS). Although methanol extracts reduce DPPH radicals more efficiently than ethyl ether extracts, suggesting a potent radical scavenger activity, the ethyl ether extracts were found to be most active in inhibiting lipid peroxidation in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membranes. In addition, both extracts present peroxyl and superoxide radical scavenging activities. Peroxyl radicals were generated by the water soluble 2, 2A-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) azoinitiator, and the scavenging activities of the extracts were measured by the inhibition of cis-parinaric acid (PnA) fluorescence decay in SR. Superoxide radicals were generated either by an enzymatic or a non-enzymatic system, and the scavenger ability was evaluated by the inhibition of nitrob-lue tetrazolium reduction. Methanolic extracts are more potent as scavengers of peroxyl and super oxide radicals than the ethyl ether extracts. Apparently, there is a relationship between antioxidant potency and the total phenolic groups content in each extract. 相似文献

This study evaluated the antioxidant potential of extracts from Cornus walteri W. (CW) using various assays for natural antioxidants. We determined the polyphenol and flavonoid contents, as well as the antioxidant properties of water and ethanol extracts from the CW compared with those of other natural and synthetic antioxidants. CW extracts had high total phenolic and flavonoid contents in both the water and ethanol extracts. Various radical (DPPH, hydroxyl, and alkyl) scavenging activities of extracts from CW were higher than that of vitamin C. In addition, the antioxidant capacity measured as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) as diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging were higher than that of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT), used as a positive control. The cytoprotective effect of CW extracts was also observed in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative damage in Chang cells. These results showed that CW extracts have antioxidant properties through their ability to enhance cell viability, prevent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and inhibit mitochondrial membrane depolarization. The antioxidant potency of the CW extracts could be exploited for their health promoting potential. 相似文献

Tyrosinase activities and dopachrome conversion activity were evaluated in extracts made from skins of 6-day-old mice that were mutant at the agouti and albino loci. Dopa oxidase (DO) activity of tyrosinase in fully pigmented (C/C) mice is reduced in extracts made from skins of yellow 6-day-old mice as compared to those of black mice. Dopachrome conversion (DC) activity is absent from skin extracts of normal yellow mice and is present in normal black mice. DC activity is a characteristic of a separate enzyme which has been called dopachrome conversion factor or dopachrome oxidoreductase. We measured the dopa oxidase activity and dopachrome conversion activity in skin extracts of yellow mice and black mice that were mutant at the albino (C) locus. Extracts made from extreme-dilution (ce/ce) mice do not have DO activity. Those from yellow extreme-dilution mice do not have DC activity, while those from black, extreme-dilution mice do. The DO and DC activities that characterize skin extracts made from platinum (cp/cp) yellow mice are similar to those of platinum black mice. These observations suggest possible mechanisms by which the functions controlled by the agouti and albino loci interact to control melanogenesis. 相似文献

Anserine and carnosine found in animal skeletal muscle are capable of inhibiting the catalysis of lipid oxidation by heme and non-heme iron. A demineralization technique and a proteolytic enzyme (papain) were used in this research in order to reduce the levels of proxidants while maintaining high levels of anserine and camosine in poultry (chicken, duck and turkey) meat extracts. Undemineralized poultry meat extracts contained larger amounts of anserine, camosine, heme and non-heme iron (p < 0.05) than did demineralized poultry meat extracts. Both undemineralized and demineralized breast meat extracts of chicken, duck and turkey contained higher concentrations of anserine and camosine, but lower amounts of heme and non-heme iron than did thigh meat extracts. In chicken, duck and turkey meat (breast and thigh) extracts (undemineralized and demineralized), the anserine concentrations were greater (p < 0.05) than the camosine concentrations. The hydrogen-donating ability of undemineralized and demineralized chicken breast meat extracts was not significantly different (p > 0.05): however, demineralized chicken breast meat extracts showed higher (p < 0.05) ferrous chelating ability than did undemineralized meat extracts. The concentrations of anserine, camosine, heme and non-heme iron in chicken breast meat extracts increased (p < 0.05) with the addition of papain (1%) to the meat mixture before extraction. Heme and non-heme iron in the chicken breast meat extracts increased as the reaction time for papain increased from 30 to 120 min, but the concentrations of anserine and camosine were not significantly affected by the longer reaction time for papain. The hydrogen-donating ability and ferrous chelating ability of demineralized chicken breast meat extracts were not significantly affected by papain. The ratios of carnosine/anserine were very specific in the chicken, duck and turkey meat extracts (breast and thigh); and the turkey meat extracts had lower (p < 0.05) camosine/anserine ratios than did the chicken and duck meat extracts. The camosine/anserine ratios of undemineralized and demineralized poultry meat extracts were not significantly different (p > 0.05). This suggests that the carnosine/anserine ratios of undemineralized chicken (0.62 - 0.80), duck (0.75 - 0.77) and turkey (0.15 - 0.16) meat extracts could be used to estimate the single meat species in uncooked or cooked meat products. 相似文献
