文摘
The essential oil obtained from the bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume (Lauraceae) and threeof its main components, eugenol, (E)-cinnamaldehyde, and linalool (representing 82.5% of the totalcomposition), were tested in two in vitro models of peroxynitrite-induced nitration and lipid peroxidation.The essential oil and eugenol showed very powerful activities, decreasing 3-nitrotyrosine formationwith IC50 values of 18.4 g/mL and 46.7 M, respectively (reference compound, ascorbic acid, 71.3g/mL and 405.0 M) and also inhibiting the peroxynitrite-induced lipid peroxidation showing an IC50of 2.0 g/mL and 13.1 M, respectively, against 59.0 g/mL (235.5 M) of the reference compoundTrolox. On the contrary, (E)-cinnamaldehyde and linalool were completely inactive.Keywords: Peroxynitrite; lipid peroxidation; 3-nitrotyrosine; Cinnamomum zeylanicum; essential oil;eugenol
