IC50 values (µM) of galangin and 3,5,7-trihydroxychromone in five antioxidant spectrophotometer assays.
Assays | Galangin | 3,5,7-Trihydroxychromone | Trolox |
---|---|---|---|
•O2− scavenging | 108.7 ± 4.4 a | 125.4 ± 4.9 b | 4968.3 ± 157.8 c |
DPPH• scavenging | 10.2 ± 0.3 a | 134.1 ± 21.4 c | 36.9 ± 1.0 b |
PTIO• scavenging | 176.7 ± 24.3 b | 395.1 ± 33.2 c | 186.3 ± 7.2 a |
Fe3+ reducing | 22.9 ± 1.3 a | 42.5 ± 1.6 b | 21.5 ± 0.8 a |
ABTS+• scavenging | 19.7 ± 0.1 a | 20.9 ± 0.3 b | 43.2 ± 1.7 c |
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.
