Antioxidant activity of cichoric acid and alkamides from Echinacea purpurea, alone and in combination

The antioxidant activity of extracts of the stems, leaves, and roots of Echinacea purpurea was compared with the antioxidant activity of purified cichoric acid and alkamides, both constituents of Echinacea purpurea. The antioxidant activity was determined using different methods: effect on oxygen consumption rate of a peroxidating lipid emulsion, and scavenging of radicals, i.e. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), measured by two different techniques. The efficacy of the extracts in the reaction with DPPH correlated well with the amount of cichoric acid present in the various extracts. The alkamides alone showed no antioxidant activity in any of the tests. Alkamides present in the extract increased, however, the antioxidative effect of cichoric acid in the peroxidating lipid emulsion. The activity was further compared with that of rosmarinic acid, a well-characterised antioxidant, and the extracts as well as cichoric acid were found to be efficient scavengers of radicals with an activity comparable to that of rosmarinic acid. Cichoric acid was found to have a stoichiometric factor of 4.0 in scavenging DPPH and to react in a second-order reaction with DPPH with a rate constant of 40 l/mol/s at 25 °C in methanol.

A new flavone from antioxidant extracts of Pistacia terebinthus

Acetone and methanol extracts of the fruits of Pistacia terebinthus L. subsp. terebinthus L. were studied for their antioxidant activity by investigating their total phenolic and flavonoid contents, β-carotene bleaching potential, DPPH radical scavenging effect, scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical, reducing power, and metal chelating effect on ferrous ion. Both extracts showed very similar chemical profile by checking on TLC plates, and exhibited high scavenging activity on superoxide anion radical and DPPH radical. Due to these similarities they were combined and fractionated on a silica gel column for their constituents, and the most active three fractions in DPPH assay were purified to afford a new flavone 6′-hydroxyhypolaetin 3′-methyl ether (1) besides a group of known flavonoids apigenin, luteolin, luteolin 7-O-glucoside, quercetin, quercetagetin 3-methyl ether 7-O-glucoside, isoscutellarein 8-O-glucoside. Their structures were established by UV, UV shift reagents, and ¹H NMR spectroscopic techniques. Antioxidant activity of the new flavone was investigated by β-carotene bleaching and DPPH radical scavenging activity methods, and it showed a high activity in the first system, but not so good in the latter.     

Antioxidant properties of various solvent extracts from wild ginseng leaves

Water, methanol and ethanol extracts of freeze-dried leaves of wild ginseng were examined for their antioxidant properties. All leaf extracts were capable of free radicals scavenging activity. Among solvent extracts of wild ginseng leaves, ethanol extract showed the highest DPPH, hydroxyl radical scavenging and ferrous ion chelating activity. Otherwise, the highest superoxide radical scavenging activity was found in water extract followed by ethanol and methanol extracts of wild ginseng leaves. Ethanol extracts contained more phenolics (2333.2 mg/100 g) and flavonoids (1199.1 mg/100 g) than other extracts. These differences in concentrations of key antioxidants among various solvent extracts seemed to be responsible for their differences in antioxidant activities. When various solvent extracts were hydrolysed by acid, two aglycons of flavonoid, quercetin and kaempferol, were detected. According to the results obtained from this study, wild ginseng leaves showed marked antioxidant activities due to their abundant antioxidants.     

Antioxidant activities of red pepper (Capsicum annuum) pericarp and seed extracts

In this study, we examined the antioxidant activities of red pepper (Capsicum annuum, L.) pericarp and red pepper seed extracts. The extracts were evaluated by various antioxidant assays, including 1,1‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydroxyl radical scavenging, [2,2′‐azino‐bis(3‐ethylbenzthiazoline‐6‐sulphonic acid)] (ABTS) radical scavenging, ferrous chelating activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and reducing power, along with the determination of total phenolic and flavonoid contents. All the extracts showed strong antioxidant activity by the testing methods. The red pepper pericarp extract exhibited strong ferrous chelating activity and high scavenging activity against free radicals, including both the hydroxyl and DPPH radicals, but it exhibited weaker scavenging activity for the superoxide anion radical and for SOD. In contrast, the red pepper seed extract exhibited strong SOD activity and high scavenging activity against the superoxide anion radical, but showed weaker ferrous chelating activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging, and DPPH radical scavenging. We observed that the reducing power level and ABTS radical scavenging activity of the red pepper seed were higher than those of the red pepper pericarp at the highest tested concentration. Most of the test results for the red pepper seed and red pepper pericarp extracts increased markedly with increasing concentration; however, the metal chelating, SOD and ABTS radical scavenging activities did not increase with the concentration. Highest total phenolic and flavonoid contents were obtained from the red pepper pericarp extracts. Overall, the red pepper seed and red pepper pericarp extracts were highly effective for the antioxidant properties assayed, with the exceptions of ferrous chelating activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging and SOD activity.     

Comparison of antioxidant activity of clove (Eugenia caryophylata Thunb) buds and lavender (Lavandula stoechas L.)

The antioxidant activity of water and ethanol extracts of clove (Eugenia carophyllata) buds and lavender (Lavandula stoechas L.) was studied. The antioxidant properties of both extracts of clove and lavender were evaluated using different antioxidant tests; reductive potential, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging and metal chelating activities. The both extracts of clove and lavender exhibited strong total antioxidant activity. At the concentrations of 20, 40, and 60 μg/ml, water extract of clove and lavender showed 93.3%, 95.5%, 97.9%, 86.9%, 92.3%, and 94.8% inhibition on lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. At the same concentrations, ethanol extract of clove and lavender exhibited 94.9%, 95.5%, 98.2%, 92.5%, 93.8%, and 96.5%, respectively. Comparable, 60 μg/ml of standard antioxidant such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and α-tocopherol exhibited 96.5%, 99.2%, and 61.1% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. The both extracts of clove and lavender had effective reductive potential, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, and metal chelating activities at all tested concentrations (20, 40, and 60 μg/ml). Those various antioxidant activities were compared to standard antioxidants such as BHA, BHT, and α-tocopherol. In addition, total phenolic compounds in the both extracts of clove and lavender were determined as gallic acid equivalent.     

Evaluation of reducing power and radical scavenging activities of water and ethanol extracts from sumac (Rhus coriaria L.)

The purpose of this study was to determine the reducing power, metal chelating, and radical scavenging capabilities of water and ethanol extracts of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.), comparatively. The water and ethanol extracts of sumac were evaluated for their radical scavenging activities by means of the DPPH and DMPD assays. Water extract of sumac (R. coriaria L.) scavenged radicals effectively with EC₅₀ values of 36.4 ??g/ml for DPPH free radical and 44.7 ??g/ml for DMPD cation radical. Similarly, the total reducing power of water extract was found higher than ethanol extract in both potassium ferricyanide reduction (FRAP) and cupric ions reduction capacity methods (CUPRAC). 2,2′-Bipyridine was used to determine the metal chelating activity and the result of water extract was found higher than ethanol extract. Total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of both extracts were studied as well. The values of water extract were found to be higher than that of ethanol extract. The present study found that water extracts of sumac (R. coriaria L.) have effective antioxidant and radical scavenging activities as compared to ethanol extracts.     

Screening of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) seed extracts

In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of water and ethanol extracts of anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) seed (PAS) were investigated. The antioxidant properties of both extracts of PAS were evaluated using different antioxidant tests, including reducing power, free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, and metal chelating activities. Twenty μg/ml of water and ethanol extracts exhibited 99.1 and 77.5% inhibition of peroxidation in linoleic acid system, which was greater than the same concentration of α-tocopherol (36.1%). These various antioxidant activities were compared with synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and α-tocopherol. The water extract of PAS exhibited greater antioxidant capacity than that of ethanol. Antimicrobial activity tests were carried out using disc diffusion methods with 10 microbial species.

Antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the essential oils and methanol extract from Mentha longifolia L. ssp. longifolia

This study was designed to evaluate antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Mentha longifolia ssp. longifolia. The essential oil showed strong antimicrobial activity against all 30 microorganisms tested whereas the methanol extract almost remained inactive. In contrast, the extract showed much better activity than the essential oil in antioxidant activity assays employed, e.g. in the inhibition of free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and β-carotene/linoleic acid systems. In the former, the extract was able to reduce the stable free radical DPPH with an IC₅₀ of 57.4 μg/ml while that of the oils was 10 700 μg/ml. When compared to BHT, a synthetic antioxidant, both showed weaker antioxidative potential. Similarly, in β-carotene/linoleic acid assay, these samples were not effectively able to inhibit the linoleic acid oxidation; exhibiting only 24% and 36% inhibitions at 2 mg/ml, respectively; both were far below than that of BHT. Total phenolic constituent of the extract was 4.5 g/100 g as gallic acid equivalent. GC–MS analysis of the oil resulted in the identification of 45 constituents, cis-piperitone epoxide, pulegone and piperitenone oxide being the main components.     

Antioxidant activity of lactic-fermented Chinese cabbage

Lactic-fermented cabbage, similar to Kimchi in Korea, is a very popular fermented vegetable product in Taiwan and China. In this study, fermented cabbage prepared by a dry-salt method was first extracted with water and methanol. Antioxidant activity such as DPPH radical scavenging effects, reducing power and Fe²⁺-chelating ability of the solvent extracts of fermented cabbage was determined and the effect of fermentation on the change of antioxidant activity, total phenolic and total flavonoid content was also investigated. Results revealed that antioxidant activity observed on the Chinese cabbage mixture may vary with extraction solvents and fermentation. Generally, the methanol extract of the cabbage mixture showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing activity than the water extract. Although, fermentation did not alter the Fe²⁺-chelating ability and reducing activity of the methanol extract of the cabbage mixture, it reduced these same antioxidant activities in the water extract. Amongst the various extracts examined, the methanol extract of fermented cabbage showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging effect. On the other hand, the highest Fe²⁺-ion chelating and reducing activities were exerted by the methanol extracts of both the cabbage mixture and the fermented cabbage, which showed no significant difference (p < 0.05). Additionally, the type of solvent and fermentation were also found to affect the total phenolic and flavonoid content of the extracts. Fermentation increased the total phenolic content of the methanol extract, whilst reducing the total flavonoid content of the water extract. Furthermore, changes in the antioxidant activity observed on the extracts of the cabbage mixture and fermented cabbage did not coincide exactly with the total phenolic and total flavonoid content.

Flavonoid glycosides in the shoot system of Okinawa Taumu (Colocasia esculenta S.)

Six C-glycosylflavonoids and one O-glycosylflavonoid have been isolated from the shoot system of Taumu (Colocasia esculenta S.). They were identified as schaftoside, isoschaftoside, orientin, isovitexin, isoorientin, vitexin and luteolin 7-O-sophoroside. The presence of catechol moiety in the B-ring of isoorientin, orientin and luteolin 7-O-sophoroside showed strong antioxidant activity with different mechanisms of action in DPPH radical scavenging, β-carotene bleaching and superoxide radical inhibition assays. The amount of dry weight matter extract of water was higher than methanol for both the leaf and the stem parts. Isovitexin was the main compound in water and methanol extracts of the leaf while schaftoside was the main compound of the water extract of the stem. Methanol extract of the leaf showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than water extract while the opposite was observed for the stem. The results of this experiment suggest the potential of the leaf of Taumu as a source of dietary antioxidant.
