(1)Ber-D was found to quench free radicals very effectively at lower concentrations(51%, 62%, and 81% AC for 5, 10, and 25 μM of Ber-D, respectively), (2)Ber-D exhibited a concentration-dependent activity in quenching NO(5 μM: 96%, 10 μM: 67%, and 25 μM: 63% reduction, respectively), (3)Ber-D showed ORAC values of 4.33 , (4)Ber-D effectively prevented the generation of H2O2 by 70% and 80% at concentrations of 10 and 50 μM, respectively, (5)The oxidative stress was induced in PC12 cells by exposing to high concentrations of H2O2, Ber-D showed a concentration-dependent improvement in the cell viability(60%, 65%, and 80% for 10, 25, and 50 μM, respectively), |
