AbstractGround spice paprika was extracted with hexane, by conventional Soxhlet procedure (SX oleoresin), and with supercritical carbon dioxide at three different pressures — 20, 30 and 40 MPa (SF20, SF30 and SF40 oleoresins). The effect of extraction method and conditions on the colour intesity of paprika oleoresins, content of α-tocopherol, as well as antioxidant and antiproliferative activity was examined. Hexane showed highest selectivity for paprika pigments (886.02 ASTA), while α-tocopherol showed highest solubility (3846.9 mg kg−1) in supercritical carbon dioxide at 20 MPa. All paprika oleoresins exhibited good superoxide anion radical scavenging activity SF30 being the best superoxide anion radical scavenger. Cell growth activity was evaluated in vitro in human cell lines:cervix epitheloid carcinoma (HeLa), breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) and colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29). The highest antiproliferative activity was exhibited by SX in MCF7 cell line (IC50=14.28 mg mL−1). Extract SF40 produced significant and selective antiproliferative action towards HeLa cell line. These results suggest that paprika oleoresins, due to high antiradical and tumor cell-inhibiting activity, can be regarded as functional food ingredients.

Background: Antioxidants are small molecules that prevent or delay the process of oxidations caused by highly reactive free radicals. These molecules are known for their ability to protect various cellular architecture and other biomolecules from oxidative stress and free radicals. Thus, antioxidants play a key role in the prevention of oxidative damages caused by highly reactive free radicals. Method: In the present study, a series of previously synthesized heterocyclic 2-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives 1-25 was screened for antioxidant activity by employing in vitro DPPH and superoxide anion radical scavenging activities. ROS inhibitory activities were also evaluated by serum-opsonized zymosan activated whole blood phagocytes and isolated neutrophils. Cytotoxicity studies were carried out by employing an MTT assay against the 3T3 cell line. Results: Most of the 2-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives showed potent antioxidant activities in superoxide anion radical scavenging assay with IC50 value ranging between 0.57 µM – 48.93 µM, as compared to positive control quercetin dihydrate (IC50 = 94.1± 1.1 µM ). Compounds 5, 6, and 14 showed excellent activity in DPPH assay. Compounds 5-8, 12-15, 17, and 20 showed promising activities in the ROS inhibition assay. All compounds were found to be non-cytotoxic against the 3T3 cell line. Structure antioxidant activity has been established. Conclusion: It can be concluded that most of the heterocyclic 2-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinone derivatives 1-25 are identified as promising antioxidant agents that are capable of fighting against free radicals and oxidative stress. Thus, they can serve as a lead towards treating oxidative stress and related pathologies.

By using spectrophotometric detection of the Chuanxiong polysaccharides on the free radical scavenging. The results show that the Chuanxiong polysaccharides on DPPH radical, hydroxyl radical (HO•) and superoxide anion radical (•) clearance. Scavenging ability with the the Chuanxiong polysaccharide concentration increased, and showed the dose-effect relationship. Concentration of 2.0mg/mL when DPPH radicals clear the rate of 35.61%, while the rate of hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radical scavenging, clear the rate of 57.78% and 57.14%. Chuanxiong polysaccharide is an ideal natural antioxidants and good prospects for the development of biomedical composites.

Enzymatic hydrolysates were prepared from lees produced during sake making using fugu muscle and fin. The antioxidant properties of these hydrolysates were measured using four different methods: autoxidation test, superoxide anion radical, DPPH radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging test. The yields of enzymatic hydrolysates were around 8.0% and their protein average content 0.66 mg/mg. The lees had remarkable antioxidant properties and high superoxide anion radical and hydroxyl radical scavenging abilities in comparison with those of ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol. According to the former results, lees produced during sake making could be used as a protein source with antioxidant properties for different applications in food processing, and its use could contribute to reduce industrial wastes.

Six purple corn grains were chosen to investigate their antioxidant activities and the relationships between anthocyanins and phenolics contents with antioxidant activities. Purple grains were screened for their antioxidant potentials using various in-vitro models such as superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and reducing power at various concentrations. The result showed that ZS39 and FS11 exhibited the highest anthocyanins and total phenolics contents. ZS39 and FS11 also exhibited the highest superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. There was no significant difference among the reducing power of six different purple corn grain extracts. It was found that there were positive correlations between anthocyanins and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity or reducing power, R2=0.9911, R2=0.9873, respectively. Whereas the correlations between total phenolics and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity or reducing power, R2=0.9863, R2=0.9826, respectively. It suggested that purple corn appeared to be a rich and interesting source of natural antioxidants.
