Antioxidant properties

Uvaria, a genus within the Annonaceae family, encompasses around 150 species of flowering plants. Uvaria boniana is extensively found throughout Vietnam and is utilized in traditional medicine practices. The aim of this study was to determine the microscopic characteristics and evaluate the antioxidant activity of Uvaria boniana.

The signaling properties of the gasotransmitter molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is endogenously generated in plant cells, are mainly observed during persulfidation, a protein post-translational modification (PTM) that affects redox-sensitive cysteine residues. There is growing experimental evidence that H2S in higher plants may function as a mechanism of response to environmental stress conditions.

Human serum albumin (HSA) exists in both reduced and oxidized forms, and the percentage of oxidized albumin increases in several diseases. How-ever, little is known regarding the pathophysiological significance of oxida-tion due to poor characterization of the precise structural and functional properties of oxidized HSA.

Vitamin C, a reducing agent and antioxidant, is a cofactor in reactions cata-lyzed by Cu + -dependent monooxygenases and Fe 2+ -dependent dioxygenas-es. It is synthesized, in vertebrates having this capacity, fromd-glucuronate. The latter is formed through direct hydrolysis of uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucuronate by enzyme(s) bound to the endoplasmic reticulum mem-brane, sharing many properties with, and most likely identical to, UDP-glucuronosyltransferases.

Much of the toxicity of Hb has been linked to its redox activity; Hb may generate reactive oxygen species, such as the superoxide anion. Superoxide is intrinsically toxic, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) provides important cellular protection. However, if the Hb molecule is located outside the red blood cell, the normal protection systems involving SOD and catalase are no longer closely associated with it, exposing Hb and its cellular surround

Quinolinic acid (QUIN) excitotoxicity is mediated by elevated intracellular Ca 2+ levels, and nitric oxide-mediated oxidative stress, resulting in DNA damage, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activation, NAD + deple-tion and cell death. We evaluated the effect of a series of polyphenolic compounds [i.e. epigallocatechin gallate (EPCG), catechin hydrate, curcu-min, apigenin, naringenin and gallotannin] with antioxidant properties on QUIN-induced excitotoxicity on primary cultures of human neurons....
