The IC50 value (in micromolar unit) was defined as the final concentration of 50% radical inhibition or relative reducing power, calculated by linear regression analysis, and expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3). The linear regression was analyzed using the Origin 2017 Professional software. IC50 values with different superscripts (a, b, or c) in the same row were significantly different (p < 0.05). Trolox was the positive control. The dose–response curves are listed in Supplement 1.
