Antioxidative compounds contained in roasted safflower seeds were investigated. Six phenolic compounds, N-feruloylserotonin, N-(p-coumaroyl) serotonin, matairesinol, 8'-hydroxyarctigenin, acacetin 7-Ο-β-D-glucoside(tilianine) and acacetin were isolated and identified from the extract of seeds. The inhibitory effects of six phenolic compounds on 1,1-dipheny1-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical and lipid peroxidation induced by H₂O₂/FeSO₄in rat liver microsomes were determined. Two serotonins showed more potent DPPH radical scavenging activity, and a stronger inhibitory effect on the lipid peroxidation than that of α-tocopherol. In addition, acacetin and matairesinol also considerably inhibited lipid peroxidation, while 2-hydroxy-arctigenin and tilianine were inactive. These results suggest that phenolic compounds, including serotonins, lignans and flavonoids in the roasted safflower seeds can be used as potential dietary natural antioxidants.

Vegetables are known to contain high amounts of natural antioxidants such as ascorbate, $\alpha$-tocopherol, $\beta$-carotene, and flavinoids. The antioxidant activities of several vegetables including broccoli, carrot , green pepper, spinach and tomato, and their blends were investigated using various iron-catalyzed lipid peroxidation systems. In linoleic acid micelles, carrot and spinach significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation by 29.0% and 35.8% , respectively (p<0.05).Blends of two, three , or four vegetables indluding spinach increased the inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation, mainly due to high level of antioxidants in spinach. In beef homogenates, tomato significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation by 19.9%(p<0.05), whereas spinach and broccoli significantly stimulated lipid peroxidation by 67.3% and 11.5%, respectively (p<0.05). In the presence of 100$\mu$M ferrous ions, all vegetables inhibited degradation of deoxy-ribose by 43.6~77.6%(p<0.05). In the presence of 100$\mu$M ferric ions , broccoli and spinach stimulated deoxyribose degradation by 39.8% and 55.8%, respectively. These results indicate that the antioxidant activity of vegetables varied with the different model systems and depended on the provided environment such as iron content and substrates. The activity of the various combinations (blends) of vegetables was strongly related to that of the individual vegetable.

Among 90 Vietnamese medicinal plant extracts investigated for their antioxidant activity by DPPH assay at various concentrations from $10-100{\mu}g/mL$, 67 showed an inhibition rate over 50% at $100{\mu}g/mL$; 47 had greater than 50% inhibition at $50{\mu}g/mL$; 17 showed over 50% inhibition at $25{\mu}g/mL$. 8 extracts which exhibited strong inhibitory activity more than 50% inhibition at $10{\mu}g/mL$ were further tested for lipid peroxidation inhibition by TBA assay. They displayed activity with $IC_{50}$ values from 30.6 to $158.9{\mu}g/mL$. Until now, this is the first report on antioxidant activity of the female flower of Borassus flabellifer, and the stem of Combretum latifolium, Embelia ribes, Spatholobus parviflorus, and Tetrastigma erubescens. Fractionations of the EtOAc extract prepared from S. parviflorus led to the isolation of protocatechuic acid (1), ferulic acid (2), epicatechin (3), and gallic acid (4). These compounds showed significant DPPH inhibitory activity with $IC_{50}$ values from 6.5 to $23.6{\mu}M$.

Inhibitory effects of tannic acid on the lipid peroxidation induced by UVB were investigated. Tannic acid was administered either topically or orally for 3 days to hairless mice, which were previously irradiated with UVB, and inhibitory effects of tannic acid were measured. The UVB was found to cause skin erythema and hemolysis. When tannic acid was administered either topically or orally, hemolysis was decreased. After the skin was irradiated by UVB, the production of malondialdehyde was significantly decreased in erythrocyte and skin tissue, and the activities of SOD and catalase were significantly increased in plasma and skin tissue. In case of oral treatment, catalase activity was not significantly increased. The inhibitory effects of tannic acid on malondialdehyde production, SOD inhibition and catalase inhibition were more prominent in orally administerd groups than in topically administerri groups. However, the difference between two groups was not statistically significant. In conclusion, tannic acid decreased lipid peroxidation possibly by free radical scavenger action. The route of administrations, topical or oral, did not affect the antioxidative activity of tannic acid.

Objective : The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effects of Mori Folium extract. Methods Total antioxidant status was examined by total antioxidant capacity(TAC) and total antioxidant response(TAR) against potent free radical reactions. The effect of Mori Folium extract was examined by measuring total phenolic content, concentration at which 1,1-dipheny1-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity was inhibited, inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation, and the effect on reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation. Results : 1. TAC and TAR of Mori Folium extract at the concentration of 5 mg/ml were 1.61 and 1.24 mM Trolox equivalents, respectively. 2. Total phenolic content of Mori Folium extract at the concentration of 5 mg/Ml was 1.70 mM gallic acid equivalent. 3. Concentration of Mori Folium extract at which DPPH radical scavenging activity was inhibited by 50% was 2.29 m9/m4 as compared to 100% by Pyrogallol solution as a reference. 4. The inhibitory effect of the extract on lipid peroxidation was examined using rat liver mitochondria induced by FeSO$_4$/ascorbic acid. Mori Folium extract at the concentration of 10 mg/ml significantly decreased thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) concentration. The extract prevented lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent 5. The effect of Mori Folium extract on reactive oxygen species(ROS) generation was examined using a celt-free system induced by hydrogen peroxide FeSO$_4$. Addition of 1 mg/ml of Mori Folium extract significantly reduced dichlorofluorescein(DCf) fluorescence. The extract caused concentration-dependent attenuation of the increase in DCF fluorescence, indicating that the extract significantly prevented ROS generation in vitro. Conclusion ; The antioxidant effects of Mori Folium extract seem to be due, at least in part, to the prevention offree radical-induced oxidation, fllowed by inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

Iron(II)에 의한 마이크로좀의 지질 과산화에 미치는 quercetin과 rutin의 억제 효과를 iron의 산화중에서 생성되는 산소 라디칼에 대한 제거 작용과 iron에 대한 킬레이트 작용에 관하여 관찰하였다. $Fe^{2+}$ 단독에 의한 지질 과산화는 quercetin 또는 rutin에 의하여 용량에 따라 현저하게 억제되었다. $Fe^{2+}$의 존재하에서 ascorbate또는 NADPH에 의한 지질 과산화는 quercetin과 rutin에 의하여 거의 완전히 억제되었다. $Fe^{2+}$의 과산화 작용은 SOD와 DABCO에 의하여 억제되었고 catalase, DMSO와 mannitol에 의하여 약간 억제되었다. Quercetin과 rutin은 DETAPAC에 반응하는 $Fe^{2+}$의 산화를 억제하였고 반응초기에 유의한 킬레이트 효과를 나타내었다. Quercetin과 rutin은 효과적으로 $H_{2}O_{2}$에 의한 지질 과산화를 억제하였으며 $H_{2}O_{2}$를 분해하였다. $Fe^{2+}$의 존재하에서 $OH{\cdot}$의 생성과 U.V. 조사에 의한 $^1O_2$의 생성은 모두 quercetin과 rutin에 의하여 억제되었다. $Cd^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Pb^{2+}$와 $Zn^{2+}$에 의한 지질 과산화는 quercetin에 의하여 거의 완전하게 억제 되었다. Quercetin과 rutin은 $Fe^{2+}$에 의한 sulfhydryl기의 손실을 유의하게 저해 하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 ascorbate와 NADPH가 있거나 없는 상태에서 $Fe^{2+}$의 과산화 작용에 대한 quercetin과 rutin의 억제 효과는 그들의 반응성 산소 대사물에 대한 제거 작용과 iron에 대한 킬레이트 작용에 기인하였을 것으로 시사된다.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of quercetin and desferrioxamine on the development of the reflux esophagitis induced surgically, on gastric secretion and on lipid peroxidation which is a marker of oxidative stress. Omeprazole was used as a positive control drug. Omeprazole significantly and dose-dependently prevented the development of reflux esophagitis, but quercetin or desferrioxamine prevented only at high dose. Omeprazole significantly and dose-dependently inhibited the gastric acid secretion (gastric volume, pH and acid output), but quercetin or desferrioxamine did not inhibit. Malonyldialdehyde content, the end product of lipid peroxidation, increased significantly after the induction of reflux esophagitis. Omeprazole prevented lipid peroxidation. Quercetin and desferrioxamine inhibited the lipid peroxidation independent of their actions on gastric secretion. This result indicates that omeprazole confirmed preventing effect of rat reflux esophagitis, but quercetin and desferrioxamine inhibited esophagitis by reduction of lipid peroxidation irrespective of gastric acid secretion.
