Abstract

Free radicals are naturally occurring species with unpaired electrons that are formed during normal metabolic processes. Their formation in a high amount may cause oxidation of essential structural molecules of cell, the condition is known as oxidative stress which results in several health issues such as cancer, diabetes, heart diseases, inflammatory diseases, arthritis and a lot more. To overcome these effects, antioxidants, both synthetic and natural ones are consumed by people. Due to recent evidences about the long term harmful effects of synthetic antioxidants the interest towards the natural sources has increased. The aim of the current research is to comparatively analyze the antioxidant activity of acacia Nilotica Linn samples collected from different regions of Makran by using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) assay on which no work has been done so far. The DPPH assay of the samples gave the following results with antioxidant activity values as 18.51851%, 4.47761%, and 8.25958% for the samples of acacia Nilotica Linn from Shahrak, acacia from Turbat, acacia from Pedrak. The results revealed that acacia Nilotica Linn from Shahrak exhibits maximum free radical scavenging activity. More work on chemical composition of the tested samples has to be done.

巴基斯坦俾路支省不同地区尼罗刺槐抗氧化活性测定

自由基是在正常代谢过程中自然产生的带有不成对电子的物质。它们的大量形成可能会导致细胞基本结构分子的氧化，这种情况被称为氧化应激，导致多种健康问题，如癌症、糖尿病、心脏病、炎症性疾病、关节炎等。为了克服这些影响，人们消耗抗氧化剂，合成的和天然的都有。由于最近有证据表明合成抗氧化剂的长期有害影响，人们对天然来源的兴趣增加了。本研究的目的是采用2,2 -二苯基-1-苦味酰肼(DPPH)法比较分析马可兰不同地区金合欢的抗氧化活性，目前尚无相关研究。经DPPH测定，沙赫拉克地区尼罗卡金合欢、特拉特地区金合欢、佩德拉克地区金合欢的抗氧化活性分别为18.51851%、4.47761%和8.25958%。结果表明，沙赫拉克地区的金合欢具有最强的自由基清除能力。需要对测试样品的化学成分做更多的研究。
