Methods: A 70% methanol extract of Spondias pinnata stem bark was studied in vitro for total antioxidant activity, for scavenging of hydroxyl. BACKGROUND: Many diseases are associated with oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Current research is directed towards finding naturally-occurring.

Lebnes wiss dez-Pando R: The reaction mixture contained 45 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.

Metal chelating capac- ity is significant since it reduces the concentration of the transition metal that catalyzes lipid peroxidation [43].
The reducing capacity of a compound may serve as a sig- nificant indicator of its potential antioxidant activity. The absorbance of the ferric-xylenol orange complex was measured at nm.

All tests were performed six Peroxynitrite scavenging times. Oxidative stress is initiated by free radicals, which seek stability through electron pairing with biological macromolecules such as proteins, lipids and DNA in healthy human cells and cause protein and DNA damage along with lipid peroxidation.
An alternative solution to the increases greatly when it reacts with superoxide radical, problem is to consume natural antioxidants from food forming the highly reactive peroxynitrite anion ONOO- supplements and traditional medicines [26,27]. Interaction ajtioxidant the extract or standard trolox suppressed the absorbance of the ABTS. The IC 50 value of the standard is This activity was measured by the reduction of NBT according to a previously reported method [ 11 ].
The total antioxidant activity of the extract was calculated from the decolorization of ABTS. However, the components responsible for the antioxidative activity are currently unclear. Studies on products of browning reactions: The reaction mixture contained, in a final volume of 1 ml, 50 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.
