 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 24 Natural Medicine Research antioxidants [Keywords:] natural medicine, antioxidants, free radicals, review Life activities of the human body for free radicals produced when an active molecule, in the course of normal metabolism, free radicals can regulate intracellular signaling and cell growth, inhibit the role of viruses and bacteria, but if too many free radicals, will lead to cell and tissue and organ damage, and induce various diseases, speed up the aging body. Normally, the body through the intake of self-generated or ways to get from the outside of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), etc. endogenous antioxidants and vitamins, trace elements loaded with endogenous antioxidants, these antioxidants on free radical damage to form a natural barrier. Natural medicines for human disease prevention and treatment, most attributed to its body to remove excess free radicals with antioxidants. And the antioxidants can be classified into 6 categories: flavonoids, phenols, saponins, tannins, alkaloids and other classes. I now summarize the different types of antioxidants in recent years, research progress, for reference. 1 Flavonoids Natural Flavonoids are plant polyphenols signaling molecules, intermediates, or metabolites, widely distributed in medicinal plants, fruits and vegetables, including flavonoids (flavone), isoflavones (isoflavone), flavonols (flavonol), Isoflavones alcohol (isoflavonol), flavanones (flavanone), different flavanones (isoflavanone) and so on. of such chemical substances in the cardiovascular system, endocrine system and has significant anti-tumor pharmacological effects of flavonoids in hydroxyl position, and hydroxyl degree is determined based on the strength of antioxidant activity. studies have shown that extracts of beans - isoflavones (Isoflavin Beta) in the inhibition of lipid peroxidation have shown good activity (IC50 clearance was 21.03 mg / mL ), can stabilize the free radical DPPH (IC50
