چکیده مقاله:

Background: Alpinia galanga L. belonging to the family Zingiberaceae is widely grown in the state of Kerala, India. They are effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger under both in vitro and in vivo condition. The efficacy of the isolated flavonoids in conferring protection from radiation induced damages to genomic DNA was studied. Materials and Methods: The bioflavonoids, galangin and kaempferide were isolated from the AE fractions Alpinia galanga. The isolated flavanoids - galangin and kaempferide, and the crude extracts (AE and EE) were assayed for their various free radical scavenging activities like DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl), hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenging activities. The in vitro DNA damage was monitored by assessing the radiation induced relaxation of supercoiled plasmid DNA (pBR 322). Damage to cellular DNA of human peripheral blood leukocytes induced by &gamma-radiation (4 Gy) was monitored by alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis or comet assay. Results: The extracts and pure compounds scavenged hydroxyl radicals in a concentration dependent manner. The compounds demonstrated a concentration dependent scavenging capacity by neutralizing the superoxide radicals. A considerably lower concentration (400-1000 ppm) of the pure flavonoids showed good antioxidant capacity. The presence of 10 mM kaempferide helped in reducing the extent of DNA damage following 4 Gy gamma irradiation (P<0.001). Galangin (10 mM) also facilitated in reduction of comet parameters. Conclusion: The extracts of Alpinia galanga or the isolated bioflavonoids - galangin and kaempferide can protect DNA from radiation induced lesions resulting from radiation exposures under in vitro and ex vivo conditions.

Protective Effects of IMOD and Cimetidine against Radiation-induced Cellular Damage

Radiation damage is to a large extent caused by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the sensitivity to radiation damage in tumor cells.Radioprotectors are agents or substances that reduce the effects of radiation in healthy normal tissues while maintaining the s...

Protective effects of famotidine and vitamin C against radiation induced cellular damage in mouse spermatogenesis process

Background: Radioprotective effect of famotidine was previously shown on radiation induced micronuclei and chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes and mouse bone marrow cells however, its radioprotective property has never been studied in mouse spermatogenesis. It was also shown that vitamin C as an antioxidant also exert its radioprotective effect on many biological s...

Oxidation of the flavonoids galangin and kaempferide by human liver microsomes and CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP2C9.

There is very limited information on cytochrome P450 (P450)-mediated oxidative metabolism of dietary flavonoids in humans. In this study, we used human liver microsomes and recombinant P450 isoforms to examine the metabolism of two flavonols, galangin and kaempferide, and one flavone, chrysin. Both galangin and kaempferide, but not chrysin, were oxidized by human liver microsomes to kaempferol,...
