Smilex china Linn. (Smilacaceae Syn Liliaceae) has special pharmacognostic feature as its root is multiseriate, with sclerenchymatic pericycle. The alcoholic extract of rhizome of S. china shows significant protection against FeSO4 induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate, but has no effect on the rate of oxidation of reduced glutathione. This fraction scavenges the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, but the effect was more towards the removal of superoxide than that of hydroxyl radicals. Thus it could be concluded that rhizome of S. china has strong antioxidant property. 相似文献

We measured the antioxidant activity of human, rat, bovine, rabbit, and guinea pig albumins against the superoxide, hydroxyl, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radicals. The albumins of different animal species did not differ in antioxidant activity against superoxide. Human and rat albumins exhibited antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radicals, but bovine, rabbit, and guinea pig albumins showed weaker antioxidant activity than human and rat albumins. Human, rat, rabbit, and guinea pig albumins, but not bovine albumin, exhibited strong antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals. Human and rat albumins with strong antioxidant activity against hydroxyl radicals contained methionine-123 in domain 1, but bovine, rabbit, and guinea pig albumins did not. Rat, rabbit, and guinea pig albumins with strong antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals had methionine-264 in domain 2. Human albumin did not have methionine-264, but methionine-298 and methionine-329 in domain 2. Bovine albumin, with the weakest antioxidant activity against DPPH radicals, contained no methionine residues in domain 2. These results suggest that methionine residues in domain 1 or 2 influence the antioxidant activity of albumin. 相似文献

Antioxidant and antitumor activities of the polysaccharide from seed cake of Camellia oleifera Abel 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To explore biomedical potential of the polysaccharide from seed cake of Camellia oleifera Abel, we investigated antioxidant and antitumor capacities of the polymer. The results showed that the polysaccharide is capable of scavenging both superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals in vitro. The highest scavenging rate of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals is 85% and 76%, respectively. Using the model animal, Caenorhabditis elegans, we further show that the polysaccharide can increase antioxidant enzyme activity, decrease lipid peroxidation level, and reduce paraquat-induced oxidative damage at a polysaccharide concentration more than 50mg/l. We also revealed that the polysaccharide has some ferric chelating ability and strong in vivo antitumor activity. The antitumor rate against Sarcoma180 solid tumor grown in BALB/C mice reached 85.6% at the highest dose of 40×20mg/kgdays. 相似文献

In this study, three alginate fractions with different molecular weights and ratios of mannuronic acid (M) to guluronic acid
(G) were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis and ultrafiltration to assess the antioxidant property of alginates from Laminaria japonica with molecular weight below 10 kDa. The antioxidant properties of different molecular weight alginates were evaluated by
determining the scavenging abilities on superoxide, hydroxyl, and hypochlorous acid and inhibitory effect on Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in yolk homogenate. The results showed that low molecular weight alginates exhibited high scavenging
capacities on superoxide, hydroxyl, and hypochlorous acid radicals and good inhibition of Fe2+-induced lipid peroxidation in yolk. By comparison, alginate A1 with molecular weight below 1 kDa and M/G of 1.84 had better
scavenging activity on superoxide, hydroxyl, and hypochlorous acid radicals in vitro than A2 (1–6 kDa), A3 (6–10 kDa), ascorbic
acid, and carnosine. With similar M/G ratio, A2 exhibited better antioxidant activity on superoxide and hypochlorous acid
radicals than A3. However, fraction A3 with molecular weight of 6–10 kDa exhibited higher inhibitory ability on lipid peroxidation
in yolk in vitro than A1 and A2. The results indicated that molecular weight played a more important role than M/G ratio on
alginate to determine the antioxidant ability. By comparison, low molecular weight alginates composed of guluronic acid and
mannuronic acid exhibited better antioxidant ability on oxygen free radicals than sulfated polysaccharides from L. japonica in our previous study and represent a good source of marine polysaccharide with potential application as natural antioxidant. 相似文献

Abstract: It has been suggested that free radicals may adversely influence the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. We conducted this study to determine whether bro-mocriptine, an agent widely used for treating parkinsonism, possesses antioxidant effects. Bromocriptine scavenged superoxide produced from a superoxide generating system (hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase) by the spin-trapping method using electron spin resonance. Bromocriptine had a strong scavenging effect on the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline- N -oxide hydroxide signal produced from Fenton's reaction. Bromocriptine also attenuated the stable free radical diphenyl- p -picrylhydrazyl signal. This drug inhibited the autooxidation of rat brain homogenates in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Autooxidation of brain homogenates collected from rats treated with bromocriptine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p., daily for 3 days) was significantly reduced as compared with values in untreated rat homogenates. These observations suggest that bromocriptine is a free radical scavenger and a potent antioxidant. 相似文献

The aim of this paper is to report the results of investigations into the antioxidant effect of dihydrofurocoumarins (1–6), isolated from the salt marsh plant Corydalis heterocarpa. The scavenging activities of the isolated compounds against DPPH radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide radicals were evaluated by electron spin resonance. The protective activities of these compounds against hydroxyl radical-mediated genomic DNA damage and peroxynitrite-mediated dihydrorhodamine oxidation were also investigated. The experimental results show that most compounds had antioxidant activity but their capabilities differed a little for the different indicators. Among them, compound 6 exerted the strongest antioxidant activity at a concentration of 100 μM/mL for all tested bioassay systems, compared with other compounds. 相似文献

Mechanisms of antioxidant effect of polyamines were studied in dependence on the strength of superoxide stress. Under conditions of weak stress, polyamines from Escherichia coli cultures were shown to function mainly as a scavenger of free superoxide radicals, whereas under conditions of strong stress they mainly acted as positive modulators of antioxidant genes. Spectrofluorimetry was used to show that both polyamine-dependent mutants and wild type cells treated with inhibitors of polyamine synthesis contained an elevated amount of free oxygen radicals, which could be decreased to the normal level by addition of exogenous polyamines. Under conditions of strong stress, polyamines positively influenced expression of the soxRS regulon genes of antioxidant defense, which was accompanied by an increase in the quantity (activity) of their gene products, such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Zwf) and fumarase (FumC). These effects led to an increase in the number of live cells in the cultures subjected to superoxide stress. 相似文献

精氨酸是一种功能性氨基酸,在机体生理功能、新陈代谢和营养等方面发挥着重要作用。精氨酸具有抗氧化能力。目前的体外研究表明精氨酸具有较强的清除DPPH自由基、ABTS自由基、超氧自由基能力以及一定的还原力。作为一种带电子的碱性氨基酸,精氨酸可能通过胍基基团向自由基提供电子并与其作用,终止自由基链式反应,从而显示出还原能力与体外抗氧化能力。体内实验则表明精氨酸能有效地提高机体总抗氧化能力,降低体内自由基含量,抑制ROS生成与积累,促进谷胱甘肽(GSH)合成与积累,增强内源性抗氧化酶(CAT、SOD、GPx等)活性,抑制氧化应激的产生。精氨酸能够通过精氨酸——一氧化氮途径、GSH途径、Nrf2信号通路途径及其他途径发挥体内抗氧化作用。本文主要综述了目前精氨酸体外与体内抗氧化功能及其相关作用机制的研究进展,为精氨酸的实际应用提供理论指导意义。 相似文献

Caroverine, a multifunctional drug with antioxidant functions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Here we show that lipid peroxidation of liposomal membranes was suppressed in the presence of Caroverine, a spasmolytic drug used in some countries. In order to understand the mechanism of this antioxidant action of Caroverine we studied the interaction of Caroverine with superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite. The results of the study show that the reaction of Caroverine with O2-* radicals is of marginal significance. However, it is efficient in removing peroxynitrite and a particular high reaction constant was found for reaction with hydroxyl radicals. The strong antioxidant activity of Caroverine is therefore based both on the partial prevention of the formation and the highly active scavenging of hydroxyl radicals. 相似文献

Numerous diseases are induced by free radicals via lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation and DNA damage. It has been known that a variety of plant extracts have antioxidant activities to scavenge free radicals. Whether Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zuce has antioxidant activity is unknown. In this study, dried roots of Polygonum cuspidatum were extracted by ethanol and the extract was lyophilized. Free radical scavenging assays, superoxide radical scavenging assays, lipid peroxidation assays and hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays were employed to study antioxidant activities. The results indicate that the IC50 value oí Polygonum cuspidatum extract is 110 microg/ml in free radical scavenging assays, 3.2 microg/ml in superoxide radical scavenging assays, and 8 microg/ml in lipid peroxidation assays, respectively. Furthermore, Polygonum cuspidatum extract has DNA protective effect in hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The total phenolics and flavonoid content of extract is 641.1 +/- 42.6 mg/g and 62.3 +/- 6.0 mg/g. The results indicate that Polygonum cuspidatum extract clearly has antioxidant effects. 相似文献

Scavenging or quenching of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved in oxidative stress has been the subject of many recent studies. Resveratrol, found in various natural food products, has been linked to decreased coronary artery disease and preventing cancer development. The present study measured the effect of resveratrol on several different systems involving the hydroxyl, superoxide, metal/enzymatic-induced, and cellular generated radicals. The rate constant for reaction of resveratrol with the hydroxyl radical was determined, and resveratrol was found to be an effective scavenger of hydroxyl, superoxide, and metal-induced radicals as well as showing antioxidant abilities in cells producing ROS. Resveratrol exhibits a protective effect against lipid peroxidation in cell membranes and DNA damage caused by ROS. Resveratrol was also found to have a significant inhibitory effect on the NF-kappaB signaling pathway after cellular exposure to metal-induced radicals. It was concluded that resveratrol in foods plays an important antioxidant role. 相似文献

A mononuclear (1:1) copper complex of curcumin, a phytochemical from turmeric, was synthesized and examined for its superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR, UV-VIS, EPR, mass spectroscopic methods and TG-DTA, from which it was found that a copper atom is coordinated through the keto-enol group of curcumin along with one acetate group and one water molecule. Cyclic voltammetric studies of the complex showed a reversible Cu(2+)/Cu(+) couple with a potential of 0.402 V vs NHE. The Cu(II)-curcumin complex is soluble in lipids and DMSO, and insoluble in water. It scavenges superoxide radicals with a rate constant of 1.97 x 10(5) M(-1) s(-1) in DMSO determined by stopped-flow spectrometer. Subsequent to the reaction with superoxide radicals, the complex was found to be regenerated completely, indicating catalytic activity in neutralizing superoxide radicals. Complete regeneration of the complex was observed, even when the stoichiometry of superoxide radicals was 10 times more than that of the complex. This was further confirmed by EPR monitoring of superoxide radicals. The SOD mimicking activity of the complex was determined by xanthine/xanthine oxidase assay, from which it has been found that 5 microg of the complex is equivalent to 1 unit of SOD. The complex inhibits radiation-induced lipid peroxidation and shows radical-scavenging ability. It reacts with DPPH radicals with rate constant 10 times less than that of curcumin. Pulse radiolysis-induced one-electron oxidation of the complex by azide radicals in TX-100 micellar solutions produced strongly absorbing ( approximately 500 nm) phenoxyl radicals, indicating that the phenolic moiety of curcumin remained intact on complexation with copper. The results confirm that the new Cu(II)-curcumin complex possesses SOD activity, free radical neutralizing ability, and antioxidant potential. Quantum chemical calculations with density functional theory have been performed to support the experimental observations. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct effect of oxygen free radicals produced by ultrasonic irradiation on ubiquinone and to compare the efficiency with which the antioxidant can compete with these radicals when it is both in aqueous solution and within the lipid bilayer. The main product obtained after insonation of aqueous solutions of ubiquinone-0 was ubiquinol, moreover some degradation occurred. The direct electron donor responsible for most of the ubiquinol generated by ultrasonic irradiation appeared to be superoxide radical. Addition reactions of hydroxyl radicals with aromatic ring structure led probably to degradation products of ubiquinone, which were not identified. Experiments were also performed to evaluate the efficiency with which ubiquinone-3 could react with oxygen radicals when it was within the lipid bilayer. The effect of presence or absence of a net surface charge was studied selecting a suitable bilayer including dimyristylphosphatidic acid or stearylamine in uncharged dimyristylphosphatidylcholine vesicles. In these systems hydroxyl radicals did not represent a potential danger for the antioxidant, the reaction between superoxide and ubiquinone-3 instead was significant only in positively charged membranes and gave rise to ubiquinol. It is suggested that ubiquinone acts as an antioxidant by stopping the propagation reaction. 相似文献

Free radicals induce numerous diseases by lipid peroxidation, protein peroxidation, and DNA damage. It has been reported that numerous plant extracts have antioxidant activities to scavenge free radicals. Whether Polygonum aviculare L. (Polygonaceae) has antioxidant activity is unknown. In this study, dried Polygonum aviculare L. was extracted by ethanol, and the extract was lyophilized. The antioxidant activities of extract powder were examined by free radical scavenging assays, superoxide radical scavenging assays, lipid peroxidation assays and hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The results show that the IC50 value of Polygonum aviculare L. extract is 50 microg/ml in free radical scavenging assays, 0.8 microg/ml in superoxide radical scavenging assays, and 15 microg/ml in lipid peroxidation assays, respectively. Furthermore, Polygonum aviculare L. extract has DNA protective effect in hydroxyl radical-induced DNA strand scission assays. The total phenolics and flavonoid content of extract is 677.4 +/- 62.7 microg/g and 112.7 +/- 13 microg/g. The results indicate that Polygonum aviculare L. extract clearly has antioxidant effects. 相似文献

Cigarette smoke has been found to induce the hemolysis of rabbit erythrocytes. The particulate phase had more profound effect than the gas phase. Neither free radical scavengers such as ascorbic acid, uric acid and water-soluble vitamin E analogue nor antioxidant enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase suppressed the cigarette smoke-induced hemolysis, suggesting that free radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide were not the active species. 相似文献

Vitamin C depletion increases superoxide generation in brains of SMP30/GNL knockout mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Vitamin C (VC) has a strong antioxidant function evident as its ability to scavenge superoxide radicals in vitro. We verified that this property actually exists in vivo by using a real-time imaging system in which Lucigenin is the chemiluminescent probe for detecting superoxide in senescence marker protein-30 (SMP30)/gluconolactonase (GNL) knockout (KO) mice, which cannot synthesize VC in vivo. SMP30/GNL KO mice were given 1.5 g/L VC [VC(+)] for 2, 4, or 8 weeks or denied VC [VC(−)]. At 4 and 8 weeks, VC levels in brains from VC(−) KO mice were <6% of that in VC(+) KO mice. Accordingly, superoxide-dependent chemiluminescence levels determined by ischemia-reperfusion at the 4- and 8 weeks test intervals were 3.0-fold and 2.1-fold higher, respectively, in VC(−) KO mice than in VC(+) KO mice. However, total superoxide dismutase activity and protein levels were not altered. Thus, VC depletion specifically increased superoxide generation in a model of the living brain. 相似文献

Hibernation is an extreme physiological state characterized by profound decreases in oxidative metabolism and body temperature during bouts of prolonged torpor, interrupted by brief periods of arousal with sudden increases in oxidative metabolism, with alterations in antioxidant defenses. We monitored the activities of antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress during hibernation and activity in Uromastyx philbyi. 20 animals were used, 10 of which were collected in the hibernation season (group I) and the other 10 collected during the active period (group II). Blood, liver, brown adipose tissue (BAT) and brain samples were used to determine free radical and antioxidant levels. The results indicated a significant decrease of free radicals and increase of vitamin C, especially in serum during hibernation. In contrast, during the active period free radicals, enzymatic antioxidants as glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) and non-enzymatic antioxidants as reduce glutathione (GSH) and vitamin E increased in all studied tissues. It can be concluded that Uromastyx philbyi has a strong antioxidant defense system that protects it from the injurious effects of free radicals either at the periods of arousal or during activity periods. 相似文献
