Methanol extract of Symplocos cochinchinensis S. Moore leaves was evaluated for its in vitro and in vivo antioxidant activity. The total phenolic content of the extract was 230 mg of gallic acid equivalents/g extract. The extract showed very good scavenging activity on 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (IC50 620.30 ± 0.14 μg/ml), hydroxyl (IC50 730.21 ± 1.05 μg/ml), nitric oxide (IC50 870.31 ± 0.19 μg/ml) radicals, as well as high reducing power. The extract also showed strong suppressive effect on lipid peroxidation. In in vivo study CCl4 induced oxidative stress produced significant increase in SGOT, SGPT and LDH levels along with reduction in liver SOD, CAT, GSH and GPx levels. Pre-treatment of rats with the extract (250 and 500 mg/kg) for 7 days showed significant reduction in the levels of SGOT, SGPT and LDH compared to CCl4 treated rats. SOD, CAT, GSH and GPx levels were increased significantly due to treatment with the extract. The activity of the extract was comparable to the standard drug, silymarin (25 mg/kg). The results suggest that the leaves of S. cochinchinensis are a source of natural antioxidants. 相似文献

Russula delica Fr. is a well known macrofungi which is used as a food in Turkey. The ethanolic extract of R. delica exhibited antimicrobial activity against some of the tested foodborne and spoilage bacteria. The phenolic composition of R. delica ethanolic extract was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The major component in R. delica ethanolic extract was catechin (5.33 mg/L). Antioxidant activities of the ethanolic extract of R. delica was evaluated by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals scavenging and chelating ability on ferrous ions assays. Scavenging effect on DPPH radicals was 26% at 10 mg/ml and chelating effects on ferrous ions was 58% at 5 mg/ml. In addition, the amounts of total phenol content (6.23 mg/g), ascorbic acid (2.93 mg/g), β-carotene (0.11 mg/g) and lycopene (0.03 mg/g) in the macrofungi ethanolic extract were determined. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro potential of chloroform extract of Chromolaena odorata leaves. The DPPH activity of the extract (0.1–5 mg/ml) was increased in a dose dependent manner, which was found in the range of 23.48–91.61% as compared to ascorbic acid (33.69–94.10%). The IC50 values of chloroform extract in DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide, ABTS radical were obtained to be 0.31, 0.43, 0.28 and 1.32 mg/ml, respectively. However, the IC50 values for the standard ascorbic acid were noted to be 0.24, 0.41, 0.23 and 1 mg/ml, respectively. Measurement of total phenolic content of the chloroform extract of C. odorata was achieved using Folin–Ciocalteau reagent containing 242.2 mg/g of phenolic content, which was found significantly higher when compared to reference standard gallic acid. The results obtained in this study clearly indicate that C. odorata has a significant potential to use as a natural anti-oxidant agent. 相似文献

The in vitro antioxidant and growth inhibitory activity of extracts obtained from two Portuguese wild mushrooms (Clitocybe alexandri and Lepista inversa) was studied in human tumour cell lines. The extracts were phenolic (methanolic and ethanolic) and polysaccharidic (boiling water). The antioxidant activity assays included evaluation of radical-scavenging capacity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation measured in liposome solutions. Extract-induced cell growth inhibition was measured in four different tumour cell lines (lung, breast, colon and gastric cancer) using the SRB assay. The polysaccharidic extract of L. inversa was the most potent as antioxidant (EC50 < 1.8 ± 0.1 mg/ml), while the phenolic ethanolic extract of C. alexandri was the most potent as inhibitor of growth of the studied cancer cell lines (GI50 < 26.0 ± 1.3 μg/ml). Together, these activities indicate that these mushrooms are promising sources of bioactive compounds. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro potential of ethanolic extract of Caesalpinia bonducella seeds as a natural antioxidant. The DPPH activity of the extract (20, 40, 50, 100 and 200 μg/ml) was increased in a dose dependent manner, which was found in the range of 38.93–74.77% as compared to ascorbic acid (64.26–82.58%). The IC50 values of ethanolic extract and ascorbic acid in DPPH radical scavenging assay were obtained to be 74.73 and 26.68 μg/ml, respectively. The ethanolic extract was also found to scavenge the superoxide generated by EDTA/NBT system. Measurement of total phenolic content of the ethanolic extract of C. bonducella was achieved using Folin–Ciocalteau reagent containing 62.50 mg/g of phenolic content, which was found significantly higher when compared to reference standard gallic acid. The ethanolic extract also inhibited the hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide, superoxide anions with IC50 values of 109.85, 102.65 and 89.84 μg/ml, respectively. However, the IC50 values for the standard ascorbic acid were noted to be 70.79, 65.98 and 36.68 μg/ml respectively. The results obtained in this study clearly indicate that C. bonducella has a significant potential to use as a natural antioxidant agent. 相似文献

Symplocos cochinchinesis is used in Indian system of traditional medicine to treat diabetes mellitus. The present study investigates the in vitro antioxidant, antidiabetic and antilipidemic activities of S. cochinchinensis bark methanolic extract (SCBe) in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. In in vitro studies SCBe showed very good scavenging activity on 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (IC50 820.34 ± 1.74 μg/ml), hydroxyl (IC50 884.19 ± 0.45 μg/ml) and nitric oxide (IC50 860.21 ± 1.18 μg/ml) radicals, as well as high reducing power. SCBe (250 and 500 mg/kg) was administered to STZ (40 mg/kg) induced diabetic rats for 28 days. SCBe showed a significant decrease in blood glucose and significant increase in plasma insulin and liver glycogen levels in treated diabetic rats. Further, SCBe showed antilipidemic activity as evidenced by significant decrease in serum TC, TG, LDL-C levels and significant increase in HDL-C level in treated diabetic rats. SCBe also restored the altered plasma enzymes (SGOT, SGPT and ALP), total protein, urea and creatinine levels to near normal. The action of SCBe was comparable to the antidiabetic drug glibenclamide. Results of this experimental study indicated that SCBe possessed antioxidant, antidiabetic and antilipidemic activities. 相似文献

Bitter melon (Momordica charantia) contains a variety of potentially bioactive compounds which includes two classes of saponins known as cucurbitane and oleanane-type triterpenoids. A bitter melon (BM) extract was investigated for the potential to reduce cell viability, reduce lipid accumulation in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells and affect subsequent adiponectin expression. BM extract contained at least five different triterpenoids and reduced preadipocyte viability with an LC50 concentration after 24 h determined to be 0.402 ± 0.04 mg/mL, 0.314 ± 0.01 mg/mL for 48 h and 0.310 ± 0.01 mg/mL for 72 h. BM treatment increased the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from cells and significantly (p < 0.05) increased cells in the G2/M while reducing cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. BM treatment of 3T3-L1 cells resulted in a decreased in lipid accumulation and significantly (p < 0.05) decreased intracellular triglyceride amount compared to untreated control cells. PPARγ expression was significantly (p < 0.05) down-regulated. Adiponectin expression was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased after 12 and 24 h of treatment and was increased in response to troglitazone, a positive control. BM extract reduced preadipocyte proliferation by a G2/M arrest of the cell cycle and reduced lipid accumulation of the adipocyte. 相似文献

NXL103 (linopristin/flopristin, 30/70) is a novel oral streptogramin combination with activity against a large variety of multidrug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens. The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro activity of NXL103 in comparison with oral comparators (clindamycin and linezolid). Six clinical isolates [four meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and two Streptococcus pyogenes] were exposed for 48 h in an in vitro pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model at a starting inoculum of ca. 106 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL. Antimicrobial simulations included NXL103 500 mg every 12 h, linezolid 600 mg every 12 h and clindamycin 450 mg every 6 h. Bactericidal and static effects were defined as ≥3 log10 and <3 log10 CFU/mL kill from the starting inoculum, respectively. Experiments were performed in duplicate to ensure reproducibility, and differences between regimens were evaluated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's post-hoc test. NXL103 exhibited lower minimum inhibitory concentrations than comparators, with values ≤0.06 mg/L for S. pyogenes and 0.125-0.25 mg/L for MRSA isolates. In the PK/PD model, NXL103 demonstrated significantly better activity than linezolid and clindamycin (P < 0.05), achieving sustained bactericidal activity within <2 h against S. pyogenes strains and between 7.3-32 h against MRSA isolates. In contrast, linezolid only exhibited a static effect, whereas clindamycin achieved 3 log10 kill at 6 h against the unique clindamycin-susceptible S. pyogenes strain evaluated. In conclusion, at therapeutic concentrations NXL103 exhibits promising activity against both MRSA and S. pyogenes strains, including clindamycin-resistant organisms. Further in vitro and in vivo experiments are warranted to explore the therapeutic benefit of NXL103 for the treatment of Gram-positive skin and soft-tissue infections. 相似文献

The chemical composition of the hydro-distilled essential oil from leaves of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. was analysed by GC–MS. Twenty-three compounds representing 94.29% of the total oil were identified. The antioxidant activities of the oil and various extracts of C. aromatica were evaluated by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radical-scavenging assays. The oil and methanol extract showed potent DPPH radical-scavenging activities (IC50 = 14.45 and 16.58 μg/ml, respectively), which were higher than butylated hydroxyanisole (IC50 = 18.27 μg/ml). The extracts also exhibited remarkable superoxide radical-scavenging activities (IC50 = 22.6–45.27 μg/ml) and the activity in the methanol extract was superior to all other extracts (IC50 = 22.6 μg/ml). Furthermore, the amount of total phenolic compounds was determined and its content in ethyl acetate extract was the highest as compared to other extracts. The results indicate that the oil and extracts of C. aromatica could serve as an important bio-resource of antioxidants for using in the food industries. 相似文献

Roxarsone, a feed additive, is being used worldwide to promote animal growth. However, the potential effect of roxarsone on angiogenesis has not been extensively characterized. We examined the ability of roxarsone to promote angiogenesis of rat endothelial cells in vitro and from rat aorta rings ex vivo. Endothelial cells from rats were exposed to 0.01–10.00 μM roxarsone, 5 ng/mL vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a positive control or phosphate buffer saline (PBS) as a negative control. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and the content of VEGF in supernatants was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blotting. A Matrigel-induced tube formation assay was used to evaluate the effects of roxarsone on endothelial cells. Additionally, the total number and length of microvessels sprouted from rat aortic rings were measured for ex vivo investigation of angiogenesis. Results showed that the cell viability and total number and length of capillary-like tube formations after roxarsone treatment was significantly higher than that of negative (P < 0.05), with a maximum effect at 1.00 μM exposure. Furthermore, the number of microvessels sprouted from aortic rings treated for 4 h with 0.1–10.0 μM roxarsone was significantly higher than that of PBS treatment, with a peak value of 1.0 μM. These results further demonstrate the potential of roxarsone to promote angiogenesis in vitro and ex vivo. 相似文献

The hydroalcoholic extract of Areca catechu L. (ANE) nut was screened for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and in vitro antioxidant potential. Three doses of ANE (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg orally) were tested for analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. Evaluation of analgesic activity of ANE was performed using hot plate and formalin test in mice. ANE showed maximum increase in hot plate reaction time (56.27%, p < 0.01), while reduced the duration of licking/biting behaviors in first (39.45%, p < 0.05) and second (92.71%, p < 0.01) phases of the formalin test indicating significant analgesic activity. ANE reduced the paw edema considerably (86.79% inhibition after 24 h, p < 0.01) in dose-dependent manner compared to carrageenan-induced rat. In addition, in vitro antioxidant activity of ANE was investigated by total phenolic content (TPC) and hydrogen peroxide assay. The IC50 observed in hydrogen peroxide assay was 83.14 μg/ml and TPC 120.56 ± 21.09 mg QE/g. Altogether, these results suggest that the hydroalcoholic extract of Areca catechu could be considered as a potential analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to assess the antioxidant and antidermatophytic potential of the essential oil and extracts (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol) of Metasequoia glyptostroboides Miki ex Hu. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The free radical scavenging activities of the oil and ethyl acetate extract were found to be superior (IC50 = 9.1 and 14.24 μg/ml, respectively) as compared to butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA), (IC50 = 18.27 μg/ml). Also the ethyl acetate extract revealed the highest phenolic contents (93.26 mg/g of dry wt) as compared to the other extracts. Further, oil (1250 μg/disc) and extracts (1750 μg/disc) revealed 35.33–67.66 and 18.0–53.3% antidermatophytic effect, respectively, along with their respective MIC values (62.5–500 and 250–4000 μg/ml) against Trichophyton rubrum KCTC 6345, T. rubrum KCTC 6375, T. rubrum KCTC 6352, T. mentagrophytes KCTC 6085, T. mentagrophytes KCTC 6077, T. mentagrophytes KCTC 6316, Microsporum canis KCTC 6591, M. canis KCTC 6348 and M. canis KCTC 6349. The oil also had a strong detrimental effect on spore germination as well as concentration and time-dependent kinetic inhibition of M. canis KCTC 6591. 相似文献

The present study was designed to define the phenolic profile and the biological potential of berries methanol extract of Juniperus drupacea Labill. from Turkey.The total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteau assay) was 48.06 ± 0.99 mg GAE/g extract. The HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS analysis allowed the determination of the complete phenolic profile of J. drupacea berries. Phenolic acids represented more than 60% of the total phenolics, and tyrosol was the major one (1324 ± 0.64 μg/g extract); within the flavonoids amentoflavone was detected as the main constituent (927 ± 0.35 μg/g extract).The extract exhibited good antioxidant properties, as determined by different in vitro models: DPPH test (IC50 0.38 ± 0.02 mg/mL), reducing power (12.63 ± 0.14 ASE/mL), Fe2+ chelating ability (IC50 2.26 ± 0.06 mg/mL), and TBA test (IC50 2.47 ± 1.13 μg/mL).Cytotoxicity against Artemia salina was highlighted (LC50 489.47 ± 27.8 μg/mL), and a significant decrease (p ? 0.05; p ? 0.01) in HepG2 cells viability was observed at the higher concentrations (5-10 μg/mL).The extract displayed good antibacterial activity towards Gram-positive bacteria and in particular Staphylococcus aureus was the most susceptible strain (MIC 78.12 μg/mL). 相似文献

The present study aimed to determine whether the leaves of Turnera ulmifolia Linn. var. elegans extract exert significant antioxidant activity. The antioxidant activity of its hydroethanolic extract (HEETU) was evaluated by assessing (a) its radical scavenging ability in vitro, and (b) its in vivo effect on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme activities. The in vitro antioxidant assay (DPPH) clearly supported HEETU free radical scavenging potential. Moreover, glutathione content and antioxidant enzyme activities (glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase) were significantly enhanced in CCl4-treated rats due to oral HEETU-treatment (500 mg/kg b.w.) over 7 and 21 days. In addition, an improvement was observed in lipid peroxidation and serum biochemical parameters (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase), indicating a protective effect against CCl4-induced liver injuries, confirmed by histopathological studies. The HEETU effect was comparable to the standard drug Legalon® (50 mg/kg b.w.) under the same experimental condition. Quantitative analysis of the HPLC extract revealed the presence of flavonoids, wich mediate the effects of antioxidant and oxidative stress. In conclusion, extract components exhibit antioxidant and hepatoprotective activities in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Andrographis paniculata is used in the traditional medicine for cold and influenza remedy. The main endeavor in this study was to assess the genotoxicity of the standardized extract of A. paniculata (KalmCold™) through three different in vitro tests: Ames, chromosome aberration (CA), and micronucleus (MN). Ames test was performed at 5000 μg/ml, 1581 μg/ml, 500 μg/ml, 158 μg/ml, 50 μg/ml, 16 μg/ml, while the clastogenicity tests were performed at 80 μg/ml, 26.6 μg/ml, 8.8 μg/ml for short-term treatment without S9; 345 μg/ml, 115 μg/ml, 38.3 μg/ml for short-term treatment with S9; and 46 μg/ml, 15.3 μg/ml, 5.1 μg/ml for long-term without S9 using DMSO as a vehicle control. Results of Ames test confirmed that KalmCold™ did not induce mutations both in the presence and absence of S9 in Salmonella typhimurium mutant strains TA98 and TAMix. In CA and MN, KalmCold™ did not induce clastogenicity in CHO-K1 cells in vitro. Based on our results, it is evident that KalmCold™ is genotoxically safe. 相似文献

Preparations derived from Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegl. mycelium are worldwide used as dietary supplements containing compounds active as immune system enhancers, demonstrating chemopreventive and anticancer activity. L. edodes mycelium enriched with organic forms of selenium like selenized yeast possess putative, higher cancer preventive properties. The objective of this study was to test the effect of enrichment in selenium on antioxidant, reducing and free radical scavenging activity of water and alcohol extracts from mycelium of L. edodes (Berk.). To elucidate the cause of enhanced antioxidant activity of extracts, a preliminary selenium speciation by specific oxido-reduction reaction was performed. Se-enrichment enhanced antioxidant activity, reducing power and free radical scavenging effect of mycelial extracts by almost 100–400%. Increase of activity was particularly high for diluted extracts (concentrations 0.1–0.5 mg/ml). The chemical composition of extracts from both Se-enriched and non-enriched mycelium was compared by determination of polyphenols, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Results showed that Se-enrichment enhanced antioxidant activities of mycelial extracts, likely by high amounts of organic Se-compounds (–II oxidation state) and elemental red selenium, and by increased polyphenols content. Our results suggest that Se-enrichment is a good method for enhancement of important activities of human dietary supplements, including Shiitake preparations. 相似文献

Mahonia bealei (Fort.) Carr. (Berberidaceae) leaves have been widely used as a tea leaf beverage south of the Qinling Mountains of China. In this study, the antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of M. bealei leaves were investigated. Our data showed that the water extract of M. bealei leaves (WML) exhibited extremely high antioxidant properties, which were demonstrated by its ability to scavenge 50% of 1,1-diphenyll-2-2-pricylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals at 60.46 μg/ml, and it eliminated approximately 71.19% of superoxide radicals at 500 μg/ml. In addition, the WML showed strong reducing abilities and provided protection against oxidative protein damage induced by hydroxyl radicals. Cellular proliferation and the induction of apoptosis were also examined by cellular proliferation assay, flow cytometry, and mRNA expression analysis. These results demonstrate that WML significantly inhibited the growth of human colon cancer (HT-29) cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and it gradually increased the proportion of apoptotic cells and reduced the expression of the survivin gene. The bioactivity-guided study of WML resulted in the isolation and identification of berberine, a known isoquinoline alkaloid. Berberine exhibited strong antiproliferative activity on HT-29 cells, with IC50 values of 36.54 μM, suggesting it is, in part, responsible of the anticancer activity of WML. 相似文献

Widespread use of pesticides represents a potential risk to human and environmental health. Hence, biopesticides from plants are some of the future strategies for plant protection. In this regard, a seed extract of Annona squamosa was prepared and found to be a promising pesticide. In order to establish the inherent toxicity and non-target safety required for registration and marketing of pesticides, toxicological studies are conducted. The genotoxicity potential was evaluated in rats with 75, 150 and 300 mg/kg Annona squamosa by the comet assay in leucocytes, micronucleus and chromosomal aberration tests in bone marrow. We also studied the effects of 300 mg/kg of extract on lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione level and glutathione S transferase activity in liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, heart and spleen of treated rats. The comet assay showed a statistically significant dose related increase in DNA migration. The micronucleus and chromosomal aberration tests revealed a significant induction in frequency of micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations at 150 and 300 mg/kg. Annona squamosa treatment significantly enhanced lipid peroxidation, decreased glutathione and glutathione S transferase levels revealing the oxidative stress condition. Our results warrant careful use of Annona squamosa seed extract as a biopesticide till more tests are carried out. 相似文献

The effect of a standardised dry extract from Silybum marianum (HEPAR-PASC®) on the enzyme kinetics of cytochrome-P450 isoenzymes (CYP) was investigated with primary human hepatocytes and human liver microsomes in order to assess the potential for drug-drug interactions. A cytotoxic effect on hepatocytes was observed at concentrations at and above 50 μg/ml. The EC50 value was calculated to be 72.0 μg/ml. Therefore, the chosen test concentrations for CYP induction on human hepatocytes were 50, 10, and 1.5 μg/ml, which allowed for interpretation of the clinical significance of the data with a range of 50-1-fold cmax at maximal recommended doses. No induction was observed at the lowest concentration of 1.5 μg/ml, which is close to cmax. The extract did not induce CYP 3A4 at any of the tested concentrations. A low or marginal induction of 1A2, 2B6, and 2E1 at the maximum concentration of 50 μg/ml was observed. CYP inhibition on human microsomes was tested at concentrations of 150, 15, and 1.5 μg/ml. No or minor CYP inhibition was observed for all CYPs tested at the lowest concentration of 1.5 μg/ml, i.e. CYPs 1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, and 3A4. At concentrations of 15 and 150 μg/ml the extract significantly inhibited CYP 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2E1, and 3A4. In these cases, Ki values were determined. All Ki values exceeded cmax by at least a factor of 10-fold. According to FDA regulations 1 > cmax/Ki > 0.1 indicates, that drug-drug interactions are possible for CYPs 2C8, and 2C9, but not likely, and are remote for CYPs 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4. 相似文献

Nephrotoxicity is one of the important side effects of anthracycline antibiotics. The aim of the study was to determine the protective effect of Solanum torvum on doxorubicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats using biochemical and histopathological approaches. Oxidative stress is the main factor in doxorubicin (DOX) induced nephrotoxicity. Wistar rats received either DOX (67.75 mg/kg, i.v, 2 days before sacrifice) or S. torvum (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) prior to DOX treatment or S. torvum (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, p.o.) extract alone for 4 weeks. Nephrotoxicity was assessed by measuring the abnormal levels of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). The anti-oxidant defence enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) of kidney tissue were also measured at the end of the treatment schedule. Treatment with S. torvum (100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the levels of creatinine and BUN and significantly (p < 0.05) increased the anti-oxidant defence enzyme levels of SOD and CAT. Histopathological changes showed that DOX caused significant structural damages to kidneys like tubular necrosis, renal lesions and glomerular congestion which was reversed with S. torvum. The results suggest that S. torvum has the potential in preventing the nephrotoxicity induced by doxorubicin. 相似文献
