Fast Screening for Antioxidant Properties of Flavonoids from Pterogyne nitens Using Electrochemical Methods

A fast, low-cost, convenient, and especially sensitive voltammetric screening approach for the study of the antioxidant properties of isoquercitrin and pedalitin from Pterogyne nitens is suggested in this work. These flavonoids were investigated for their redox properties using cyclic voltammetry in nonaqueous media using N,N-dimethylformamide and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluorborate as the supporting electrolyte, a glassy carbon working electrode, AglAgCl reference electrode, and Pt bare wire counter electrode. The comparative analysis of the activity of rutin has also been carried out. Moreover, combining HPLC with an electrochemical detector allowed qualitative and quantitative detection of micromolecules (e.g., isoquercitrin and pedalitin) that showed antioxidant activities. These results were then correlated to the inhibition of p-carotene bleaching determined by TLC autographic assay and to structural features of the flavonoids.

HPLC-ESIMSn Profiling, Isolation, Structural Elucidation, and Evaluation of the Antioxidant Potential of Phenolics from Paepalanthus geniculatus

The methanol extract of the flowers of Paepalanthus geniculatus Kunth. showed radical-scavenging activity in the TEAC assay. An analytical approach based on HPLC:ESIMSn was applied to obtain the metabolite profile of this extract and led to the rapid identification of 19 polyphenolic compounds comprising flavonoids and naphthopyranones. The new naphthopyranone (10, 16), quercetagetin (1, 5, 7, 13), and galetine derivatives (9, 11, 17, 19), and a flavonol glucoside cyclodimer in the truxillate form (12), were identified. Compounds 2, 6, and 7 showed the highest antioxidant capacity and ability to affect the levels of intracellular ROS in human prostate cancer cells (PC3).

Antioxidant flavonol glycosides from Nectandra grandiflora (Lauraceae)

O fracionamento cromatográfico do extrato etanólico das folhas de Nectandra grandiflora resultou no isolamento de dois flavonóides glicosilados que apresentaram atividade antioxidante inibindo a oxidação do beta -caroteno em CCDC. As substâncias isoladas tiveram suas estruturas elucidadas através de técnicas espectrométricas de RMN uni- e bidimensional e foram identificadas como 3-O-beta -ramnosy kaempferol and 3-O-beta -ramnosylquercetina.
