 Objective: Garcinia lateriflora Blume has been reported to have antioxidant activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl method with methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane leaves extract inhibitory concentration 50% (IC50) levels of 6.18, 8.03, and 156.8 μg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, there has been no literature regarding G. lateriflora Blume’s lipoxygenase inhibition activity. The aim of this study was to determine the potential antioxidant activity and lipoxygenase inhibition activity of three leaf extracts of G. lateriflora Blume. Methods: These study test methods involved an assessment of antioxidant activity using the ferric reducing antioxidant power method, an assessment of lipoxygenase inhibition activity through the in vitro method, and a qualitative analysis of flavonoid and total flavonoid content using thin-layer chromatography and the AlCl3 colorimetric method to reveal the most active extract.Results: Based on the assessment for methanol, ethyl acetate, and n-hexane, the results showed that the effective concentration 50% levels of the antioxidant activity of G. lateriflora Blume leaves extract were 9.567, 16.555, and 50.550 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, the IC50 levels of the lipoxygenase inhibition activity were 0.693, 0.793, and 1.316 μg/mL, respectively. The most active extract for both of the tests was methanol extract, which has a total flavonoid content of 6.298 mg quercetin equivalents/g.Conclusions: Based on the test results, it can be concluded that G. lateriflora Blume leaves extracts exhibit antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition activities, with methanol extract as the most active extract, containing more flavonoid than the other two extracts.

Herein, we report the neuroprotective and antioxidant activity of 1,1′-biphenyl nitrones (BPNs) 1–5 as α-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone analogues prepared from commercially available [1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde and [1,1′-biphenyl]-4,4′-dicarbaldehyde. The neuroprotection of BPNs1-5 has been measured against oligomycin A/rotenone and in an oxygen–glucose deprivation in vitro ischemia model in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Our results indicate that BPNs 1–5 have better neuroprotective and antioxidant properties than α-phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN), and they are quite similar to N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which is a well-known antioxidant agent. Among the nitrones studied, homo-bis-nitrone BPHBN5, bearing two N-tert-Bu radicals at the nitrone motif, has the best neuroprotective capacity (EC50 = 13.16 ± 1.65 and 25.5 ± 3.93 μM, against the reduction in metabolic activity induced by respiratory chain blockers and oxygen–glucose deprivation in an in vitro ischemia model, respectively) as well as anti-necrotic, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant activities (EC50 = 11.2 ± 3.94 μM), which were measured by its capacity to reduce superoxide production in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell cultures, followed by mononitrone BPMN3, with one N-Bn radical, and BPMN2, with only one N-tert-Bu substituent. The antioxidant activity of BPNs1-5 has also been analyzed for their capacity to scavenge hydroxyl free radicals (82% at 100 μM), lipoxygenase inhibition, and the inhibition of lipid peroxidation (68% at 100 μM). Results showed that although the number of nitrone groups improves the neuroprotection profile of these BPNs, the final effect is also dependent on the substitutent that is being incorporated. Thus, BPNs bearing N-tert-Bu and N-Bn groups show better neuroprotective and antioxidant properties than those substituted with Me. All these results led us to propose homo-bis-nitrone BPHBN5 as the most balanced and interesting nitrone based on its neuroprotective capacity in different neuronal models of oxidative stress and in vitro ischemia as well as its antioxidant activity.

AbstractThe hypothesis of the possible therapeutic potential of selected species of forage crops is discussed. Extracts from genotypes of Anthyllis sp., Astragalus sp., Coronilla sp., Lotus sp., Medicago sp., Melilotus sp., Onobrychis sp. and Trifolium sp. were prepared and tested for proteinase inhibition and antioxidant activities. We found that Trifolium pratense accession POLKIE99-3 expressed the highest relative trypsin inhibition activity (80.0%) compared to standards. The highest thrombin inhibition activity (81.4%) was detected in the Medicago sativa old cultivar Hodoninka, whereas the highest relative urokinase inhibition activity (62.5%) was expressed by the local population Nitranka. Relatively high antioxidant properties of Trifolium sp. accessions, Trifolium pratense genetic resources SVKZAH98-40, were of interest. Results of this study confirmed that there are significant differences in proteinase inhibition and antioxidant activity among important selected agricultural crops. The present paper may also be the starting point of the research aimed for development of new functional food and nutraceuticals, and/or of the research focused on new secondary metabolites with potential as bioactive compounds.

Fucoxanthin has great potential to be developed as an antioxidant. The purposes of this study were to determine the effect of acetone solvent concentration and maceration temperature on the fucoxanthin content and antioxidant activity of brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) and determine the best acetone solvent concentration and maceration temperature on the fucoxanthin content and antioxidant activity of brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) . The study was the experimental research which designed by using randomized block desin (RBD) with two factors. The first factor was solvent concentration that consists of 70, 80 and 90 percent. The second factor was maceration temperature that consists of 30±2?, 40±2? and 50±2?. The data were analyzed by analysis of varian (ANOVA) and continued with the Tukey test. The results showed that the concentration of acetone solvent was influential on the content of fucoxanthin and antioxidant activity but did not affect the yield. Maceration temperature is influential on yield, fucoxanthin content and antioxidant activity. Interactions between treatments of acetone solvent concentration and maceration temperature greatly affect the content of fucoxanthin and antioxidant activity but do not affect the yield. The treatment of acetone 80 percent solvent concentration and maceration temperature 30±2? is the best treatment to produce brown algae extract (Sargassum polycystum) with a yield of 3.24 ± 0.45 percent, fucoxanthin content 1.03 ± 0.01 g fukosantin/g and antioxidant activity 99 ± 8.49 ppm and show activity powerful antioxidant. Keywords: Sargassum polycystum, acetone, maceration, fucoxanthin, antioxidant.
