A flavonoid with antioxidant activity
Eriocitrin is a flavonoid originally isolated from lemon peel that has antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity.1,2,3,4,5 Eriocitrin inhibits lipid peroxidation in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 10 ?M and enhances the effect of α-tocopherol on lipid peroxidation.2 It also decreases thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in rat plasma when administered at a dose of 75 ?mol/kg, indicating a reduction in lipid peroxidation.3 Eriocitrin prevents acute exercise-induced increases in TBARS, Nε-(hexanoyl)lysine (HEL), o,o-dityrosine (DT), and nitrotyrosine in rat liver when administered at a dose of 600 mg/kg prior to exercise.4 It is also an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and MAO-B (IC50s = 86.5 and 164 ?M, respectively, for human recombinant receptors).5
