Antioxidant activity of secondary metabolites and mycelium extracts of endophytic fungi isolated from Astragalus monadelphus
نویسندگان
چکیده
13 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from Astragalus monadelphus. The radical scavenging activity assay of secondary metabolites and mycelium extracts from these strains were investigated. Results showed that secondary metabolites and mycelium extracts from these strains had significant antioxidant activities. Reducing ability of H401 strain mycelium extracts were stronger than the ethyl acetate extract parts, and its EC50 value was 0.0034 mg/mL. Ethyl acetate parts of H802 strain exhibited strong ·OH scavenging effect, the IC50 value was 0.0384 mg/mL. the DPPH radical scavenging activity test indicated that endophytic fungi can be a good source of radical scavenger. Besides, the compounds extracted from H401 secondary metabolites belong to β-sitosterol based on the results of NMR analysis and literature data.

A review of phenolic antioxidants isolated from endophytic fungi
Oxidative stress caused by overproduction of free radicals or oxygenated radical species plays a major role in causing many diseases. The findings suggest the use of antioxidants as compounds to control the release of these radicals or directly prevent their formation. Therefore, antioxidants can be used as drugs to reduce or prevent oxidative stress. Herbal medicines are the basis of modern ph...
