Relevance

In the process of studying biological activity, the determining factor is the reliability and independence of the assessment of the effect of a potential drug. In this connection, a comprehensive study of the studied object by modern and independent invitro methods is necessary, which determines the possibility of studying and the corresponding manifestation of this biological property invivo.

Introduction

Kazakhstan has unique reserves of plants of wild-growing species with medicinal properties, a significant part of which is promising for studies of their chemical composition and biological activity. Medicinal plants are the raw material for phytopreparations with a diverse spectrum of pharmacological and therapeutic effects, which, as a rule, are not accompanied by undesirable side effects.

Currently, many antioxidant and hepatoprotective drugs used in clinical practice are synthetic and cause allergic reactions. This circumstance determines the relevance of “free radical pathology” in pharmacotherapy and prevention of diseases and the corresponding use of herbal products, the effect of which is caused by the synergistic action of such natural compounds as polyphenols, aminophenol acids, higher fatty acids and others. In connection with the above aspects, the urgent problem of the development and implementation of phytopreparations and industrial use of plant materials in production [1,2]. Effective therapy of chronic liver diseases, as well as the prevention of drug hepatopathies are some of the urgent problems of modern medicine. In the pathogenesis of liver damage, oxidative stress is of great importance. One of the factors modifying the phospholipid composition of biological membranes is the development of free radical oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in them. Flavonoids have the ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species and terminate chain reactions; therefore, a wide range of biological activity and their low toxicity, the absence of allergenic and cumulative properties allow us to consider bioflavonoids as a promising source for practical use in medicine [3,4].

Purpose

To study the antioxidant and antiradical activity of natural flavonoids and their functional derivatives by independent spectrophotometric methods.

 

Materials and research methods

The method for determining the iron-reducing potential is FRAP (FerricReducingAntioxidantPower) of the studied compounds. To 0.1 ml of an alcohol solution of the test sample in the concentration range of 0.25; 0.5; 0.75 and 1.0 mg / ml are added 0.25 ml of phosphate buffer (0.2 M, pH 6.6) and 0.25 ml of 1% potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) solution. The reaction mixture is incubated for 20 minutes at 50 ° C, the reaction is stopped by the addition of 0.25 ml of a 10% solution of trichloroacetic acid. The mixture is centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm. The upper layer of the resulting solution with a volume of 0.5 ml is mixed with 0.5 ml of distilled water and 0.1 ml of 0.1% FeCl3. The absorbance is measured at 700 nm with an AgilentCary 60 spectrophotometer. Ascorbic and gallic acids are used to evaluate antioxidant activity (AOA).

Determination of antiradical activity (ARA) by inhibition of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical by the analytes. 0.1 ml aliquots of the test sample in the concentration range of 0.01-1 mg / ml were added to 3 ml of 6 × 10- 5M ethanol solution of DPPH radical. After vigorous stirring, the solutions were left in the dark for 30 minutes. The optical density was measured on an AgilentCary 60 spectrofluorometer at 520 nm, butylhydroxyanisole was the standard [5].

The use of the method of initiated chemiluminescence (CL) to determine the antioxidant and antiradical activity. The intensity and dynamics of chemiluminescence were recorded on a CaryEclipce spectrofluorometer (Agilent Technologies) at 420 nm. The method is based on the free radical oxidation of luminol with hydrogen peroxide (pH 7.4), which results in the emission of light, which decreases in the presence of a potential antioxidant [6,7].

Results

In the scientific literature there is a wide range of biological activity of flavonoids of plant origin. In recent years, the study of the possibility of using the FRAP method for assessing the antioxidant activity of invitro exogenous objects and for determining the total content of antioxidants has gained some development. Our task was to carry out studies to study the relationship between the content of substances with established chemical structures and their antioxidant activity, which is an urgent problem. So, the solution of this issue opens up the possibility of a directed synthesis of new compounds with potential biological activity by chemical modification of natural compounds. According to the method of determining the iron-reducing potential - FRAP, the results obtained are shown in Table 1.

To assess the antiradical activity of these objects, we used the method of inhibition of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical by the analyzed substances. It was established that the antiradical activity of the studied object is manifested in a decrease in the optical density of the DPPH solution due to the transition of the DPPH radical into a nonradical form as a result of the antiradical effect of the individual substance under study. The quantitative characteristic of the anti-radical property in this method is the value of anti-radical activity, therefore, to explain the mechanism of the established action of a particular object, it is advisable to know the chemical structure of the organic compound.

The objects for the study of antiradical activity were compounds dihydroquercetin (DHQ); 2- (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) -5-hydroxy-3,6,7-trimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (Af-1); 5-hydroxy, 7-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (Pb-3) and (R, E) -7-methoxy-4- (propan-2-ylidene hydrazine) -2-phenyl chromen-5-ol (G3Pb). It was found that for a control solution containing 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical, the optical density was 1.1457 ± 0.0010. Previously, the presence of a relationship between the dynamics of the activity of the studied object and the value of the optical density of the solution was determined. This dependence is visible on the example of BHA and flavonoids. The dynamics of the optical density and concentration of the compound solution is shown in Table 2 and the change in the antiradical activity of ARA flavonoids (%) in Figure 1.

In our experiments, repeated measurements of identical working solutions showed almost similar curves of induced chemiluminescence.

Discussion

In the aspect of studying the correlation between the data of different methods for assessing bioactivity, the issue of the relationship between the data of different indicators is relevant. For example, for antioxidant activity, we performed a comparison between the compounds of the optical density, concentration and antioxidant effect values ​​(%) of a substance. It has been established that there is a definite correlation between these indicators: an increase in antioxidant activity with an increase in concentration and an increase in antioxidant activity with an increase in the optical density of a solution. The obtained results indicate the presence of a single mechanism of inhibition of peroxide processes in the presence of exogenous flavonoids. In this work, we evaluated the antioxidant activity of flavonoids dihydroquercetin (DHQ); 2- (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) -5-hydroxy-3,6,7-trimethoxy-4H-chromen-4-one (Af-1); 5-hydroxy, 7-methoxy-2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one (Pb-3) and (R, E) -7-methoxy-4- (propan-2-ylidene hydrazine)-2-phenyl chromen-5-ola (G3Pb). The antioxidant property of flavonoids pinostrobin and oxymapinostrobin was established, which was compared with the similar effect of ionol, butylhydroxyanisole and other antioxidants. An indicator of the antioxidant activity of the studied objects is the optical density, in particular, AK has the highest optical density, and for compounds Af-1, Pb-3, and G3Pb, the antioxidant effect is less pronounced.

Flavonoids dihydroquercetin (DHQ) and oximpinostrobin, using the example of luminolinated chemiluminescence, inhibited free radical oxidation and the degree of effect depended on the concentration of exogenous substance, which follows from the form of the kinetics curve of this reaction (Figure 2) [8, 9]. An analysis of the literature on chemiluminescent analysis of both individual organic compounds isolated from plants and subsequent chemical modification, and total objects (plant extracts) indicates the prospects of this method and may find application in further studies on the development of new antioxidants and hepatoprotectors [10].

Conclusion

Using the FRAP method, the antioxidant activity of flavonoids was investigated invitro and this activity was established for solutions of dihydroquercetin, pinostrobin and its oxime, which is inferior to the effect of ascorbic and gallic acids with a pronounced antioxidant effect. Analysis of the anti-radical activity of invitro by determining the ability of DPPH inhibition of a number of compounds showed activity for samples Af-1, Pb-3 and G3Pb, which is comparable with the property of butylhydroxyanisole. The data of chemiluminescent analysis indicate a correlation between antioxidant, antiradical activity and chemiluminescence indices of flavonoids, which confirms the possibility of a relationship between these properties of the studied compounds.
