The peroxyl radical scavenging abilities of fifty Chinese herbal medicines were determined accurately by an electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping technique using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline 1-oxide (DMPO) as a spin-trapping reagent. The peroxyl radical was generated by the thermolysis reaction of 2,2’-Azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) in the presence of the spin-tap DMPO and with or without sample. As a result of these studies, a strong scavenging ability of peroxyl radical was found in Chinese medicines for diseases of anti-aging and blood circulation.

AbstractThe oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method employs a water soluble azo-radical initiator, AAPH (2,2’-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride) as a free radical generator, by which the fluorescent probe fluorescein is damaged to result in the loss of fluorescence. Antioxidants can protect the probe from the damage and the degree of protection is quantified. Because AAPH has been used as a lipid-peroxidation reagent, “oxygen radical” in ORAC is generally accepted as peroxyl radicals; however, in the present spin trapping experiments using a newly developed spin trap, CYPMPO, there was no indication of peroxyl-radical formation in AAPH decomposition in aqueous media. These spin trapping studies demonstrated that alkoxyl (RO·) radical adduct was the sole product of AAPH decomposition. In contrast, alkyl-peroxyl (ROO·) radical was spin-trapped during the decomposition of a lipid soluble azo-radical initiator AIBN (azobis(isobutyronitrile)) in non-aqueous media. We speculate that alkyl-peroxyl radicals are short-lived in water, rapidly converted into alkoxyl radicals. Although the possibility that ORAC method monitors peroxyl-radical scavenging activity cannot be completely eliminated, spin trapping evidence strongly indicates that ORAC method is a scavenging capacity assay for alkoxyl radicals.
