Cellular damage induced by free-radicals like reactive oxygen species(ROS) has been implicated in several diseases. The ROS radicals like alkoxy radical(RO-) and peroxy radical (ROO-) are similar to those that are physiologically active and thus might initiate a cascade of intracellular toxic events leading to DNA damage and cell death. Hence naturally anti-oxidant play a vital role in combating these conditions. Resveratrol (RES) and polydatin (PD) are two kinds of natural phytoalexin with excellent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity. In this study aim to evaluation the antiinflammatory ability of RES and PD on LPS-stimulate inflammatory cell model by Nitric oxide(NO) colorimetric method and NO synthases expression with qRT-PCR method, to provide a basis for the potential application and development in the future. The results showed that RES is significantly stronger than PD in NO synthases expression (P < 0.05). At the same time, the comparison of NO production inhibition rate between RES and PD are not significant (P > 0.05). RES and PD show their respective anti-inflammatory activity advantages under different indicators, which means we should choose RES or PD according to the different uses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
