- Abstract
Flavonoids have attracted considerable interest because of their potentially beneficial effects on human health; they have been reported to have antiviral, antiallergic, antiplatelet, antiinflammatory, antitumor and antioxidant activities. In this study in vitro antioxidant activity of quercetin and rutin was determined. Eleven methods were selected in order to cover a diversity of mechanistic approaches: DPPH and Galvinoxyl radical scavenging, ABTS, DMPD; methods based on reduction of transition metals: Ferricyanide, FRAP, Bathophenanthroline, Phosphomolybdenum, and M(II) (M = Fe, Cu, Zn) chelating activity assays. In most of these tests quercetin showed the highest antioxidant activity in comparison to rutin. Moreover, quercetin and rutin showed higher antioxidant activity in all methods, except of phosphomolybdenum method, in comparison to BHT used as a standard. In addition, acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibition was determined.
