| Arch Pharm Res. 2002 Oct;25(5):625-7. | | Further isolation of peroxynitrite and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging isorhamnetin 7-O-glucoside from the leaves of Brassica juncea L.[Pubmed: 12433194 ] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
From the leaves of Brassica juncea, an radical scavenging isorhamnetin 7-O-glucoside on peroxynitrite and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was isolated and characterized based on the spectroscopic evidence.
CONCLUSIONS:
The compound showed the peroxynitrite and DPPH scavenging activities with IC50 values of 2.07 /- 0.17 and 13.3 microM, respectively. Penicillamine and L-ascorbic acid as positive control exhibited radical scavenging activities with IC50 values of 3.17 /- 0.39 and 12.78 microM, respectively. | | Food Chemistry, 2016, 196:493-502. | | Evaluation of the nutraceutical, antioxidant and cytoprotective properties of ripe pistachio (Pistacia vera L., variety Bronte) hulls.[Pubmed: 26593519)] | Every year tons of pistachio hulls are separated and eliminated, as waste products, from pistachio seeds.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
In this study the hulls of ripe pistachios were extracted with two organic solvents (ethanol and methanol) and characterized for phenolic composition, antioxidant power and cytoprotective activity. RP-HPLC-DAD-FLU separation enabled us to identify 20 derivatives, including and by far the most abundant gallic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid, naringin, eriodictyol-7-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin 7-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside and catechin. Methanol extraction gave the highest yields for all classes of compounds and presented a higher scavenging activity in all the antioxidant assays performed. The same was found for cytoprotective activity on lymphocytes, lipid peroxidation and protein degradation.
CONCLUSIONS:
These findings highlight the strong antioxidant and cytoprotective activity of the extract components, and illustrate how a waste product can be used as a source of nutraceuticals to employ in manufacturing industry. |
