Quercetin-Cu (Ⅱ) Complexes of Free Radical Scavenging Activity.docVIP

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 16 Quercetin-Cu (Ⅱ) Complexes of Free Radical Scavenging Activity 【Abstract】 Objective To study the quercetin copper (Ⅱ) Complexes of anti-oxidation. Methods DPPH method and quercetin were determined by NBT method of copper (Ⅱ) complexes on behalf of the bitterness of the diphenyl hydrazide radical (DPPH *) and superoxide anion (O2-*) the scavenging effect. Results quercetin copper (Ⅱ) complexes can effectively remove DPPH * and O2-*, its scavenging capacity was stronger in a separate quercetin. Conclusion quercetin copper (Ⅱ) complex is a strong free radical scavenger, has a high SOD activity. Keywords: quercetin; Cu (Ⅱ) complexes; free radicals; anti-oxidation Abstract: ObjectiveTo investigate the antioxidant properties of quercetin-Cu (II) complexes. MethodsThe antioxidant properties of quercetin  Cu (Ⅱ) complexes were evaluated by the DPPH * radical and superoxide scavenging activities. ResultsThe quercetin  Cu (Ⅱ) complexes showed strong antioxidant activities, and both its DPPH scavenging activity and superoxide anion radical-scavenging activity were better than those of quercetin alone. ConclusionThe quercetin-Cu (Ⅱ) complexes acts as a strong radical scavenger and has high SOD  like activities. Keywords:: Quercetin; Cupric complexes; Free radical; Antioxidation Quercetin (quercetin, 3,5,7,3 ‘, 4’-5-hydroxy flavone Que) widespread in the plant kingdom, about 68% of the plant contain. Wide range of pharmacological effects of quercetin, which helps lower blood pressure, lowering blood pressure, expansion of coronary arteries, anti-platelet aggregation, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, anti-oxidative and anti-arrhythmia activity of a variety of biological and pharmacological effects [1 ~ 3]. According to Chinese medicine principles of coordination chemistry, Chinese medicine combined organic composition and trace elements tend to increase their biological activity or to generate new biological acti
