Abstract
The present study was aimed to examine the in vitro antioxidant potential of acyclic isoprenoid isolated from Semecarpus anacardium seeds by different in vitro methods. The antioxidant activity was determined by 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activity, lipid peroxidation, nitric oxide, and hydroxyl radicals scavenging activity. Ascorbic acid was used as a standard antioxidant drug. The acyclic isoprenoid was used at 30, 60, 125.250, 500, and 1000 mg/ml concentrations and radical scavenging activity was determined in terms of inhibition percentage. Results revealed that acyclic isoprenoid inhibited the DPPH, lipid peroxide, nitric oxide, and hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner but pronounced radicals inhibitory effect was found at the concentration of 1000 µg/ml, and these inhibitory effects were less than that of ascorbic acid – used as a reference drug. This study revealed that the acyclic isoprenoid has significant antioxidant activity which might be helpful in preventing the progress of various oxidative stresses.
