CyanthOx™ inhibits oxidation better than grape seed extract*

Design: The antioxidant activities of 92% sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins (SBOPC) and 95% grape seed proanthocyanidins (GSOPC) were analyzed by four assays:

  • Superoxide anion radical (O₂⁻) assay

  • Hydroxyl radical (HO) assay

  • Inhibition of lipid peroxidation assay

  • 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay

Result:

O₂⁻ assay:

  • EC₅₀ for SBOPC is 23.95μg/mL

  • EC₅₀ for GSOPC is 107.63μg/mL

HO assay:

  • The rate constant of reaction for SBOPC is 1.355×10⁹L/g.s

  • The rate constant of reaction for GSOPC is 1.687×10⁸L/g.s

Inhibition of lipid peroxidation assay:

Conclusion: Sea buckthorn proanthocyanidins is 4.5 times more effective at quenching superoxide anion radical (O₂⁻) and 8 times more effective at quenching hydroxyl radical (HO), and inhibition of lipid peroxidation than grape seed proanthocyanidins.*
