Free Radical Scavenging Activity of Marine Sponges Collected From Kovalam, Chennai

Abstract: Objective: The main focus of this study is to screen the marine sponges for potent free radical scavenging activity. Methods:Various methods such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay are employed to ascertain the antioxidant properties of marine sponges namely Dysidea herbacea and Sigmadocia pumila.Results: On analyzing, the result of ABTS assay D. herbacea and S. pumila exhibited almost equal… Show more

“…The FRAP method is the only method that measures antioxidants and reductants in a sample directly, while other methods measure antioxidant activity indirectly by measuring free radical inhibition produced in the solution and the results depend on the reactive species being used [18,[21][22][23]. Therefore, the value of the result of the reduction in FRAP is determined by the value of EC 50 ( Fig.…”
