Abstract
The antioxidant activity of maysin (C-glycosylflavone), isolated from the silks of Zea mays L., was assessed relative to three other flavonoid compounds i.e., rutin, quercetin and luteolin. Except for luteolin maysin was the highest 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenger among the flavonoids tested at 0.5 mg/mL peroxidase activity assays revealed that maysin does not show any measurable difference in peroxidase activity with increasing concentrations. At the lowest concentration tested (0.1 mg/mL), the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction activities of rutin, quercetin, luteolin and maysin were found to be 5.12, 1.98, 4.66 and 12.02 %, respectively. Finally, maysin exhibited higher lipid peroxidase inhibition by the thiobarbituric acid method at all concentrations tested.
