In Vitro Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Activities of Flavonoids Isolated from Sea Buckthorn
摘要
This chapter provides a general introduction to the health benefits of sea buckthorn associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of flavonoids extracts from sea buckthorn, the anti-inflammatory activities of extracts from different tissues (including seeds, berries, and leaves), and the effect of the main flavonoids derived from sea buckthorn including flavone aglycones (i.e., isorhamnetin, quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin) and flavonol glycosides (i.e., isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside) are introduced. The antioxidant activities of flavonoids extracted from sea buckthorn and different tissues are discussed. Finally, the effects of the main flavonoids obtained from sea buckthorn on scavenging radicals and alleviating oxidative stress are also introduced.
