A total of 274 crude methanolic and dichloromethane extracts of endemic or indigenous plants from Reunion Island (75 species belonging to 35 families, 43 among them being used in the local traditional pharmacopoeia) have been qualitatively screened for their free radical scavenging (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical) and antioxidant (beta-carotene) activities. In this study, various species with appreciable activity were identified as potentially novel sources of free radical scavenging and antioxidant compounds.
对来自留尼汪岛的274种地方特有或本土植物的甲醇粗提物和二氯甲烷粗提物(75个物种,分属35个科,其中43种用于当地传统药典)进行了定性筛选,以检测其清除自由基(2,2-二苯基-1-苦基肼基自由基)和抗氧化(β-胡萝卜素)活性。在本研究中,多种具有显著活性的物种被鉴定为自由基清除剂和抗氧化化合物的潜在新来源。
