<i>In Vitro</i> Antioxidant Studies on the Benzyl Tetra Isoquinoline Alkaloid Berberine

Abstract: Berberine is a benzyl tetra isoquinoline alkaloid which is widely used as an antimicrobial and an antidiarrhoeal. As berberine containing plants are virtually used in all forms of traditional medicine, our study aimed to examine the antioxidant activity of berberine using 2,2-diphenyl 1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, nitric oxide scavenging, lipid peroxidation, superoxide scavenging, iron chelating activity and 2,2-azino bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) radical scavenging methods.

“…The relative abilities of antioxidants to scavenge ABTS radical cation (ABTS •+ ) were measured by comparison with the antioxidant potency of standard amounts of trolox (6-hydroxy-2, 5, 7, 8-tetramethyl chroman-2-carboxylic acid) following the method of Shirwaikar et al, 22 ABTS •+ was prepared by a reaction between 5 mL of 0.0192 g of ABTS…”
