Antioxidant activities of three phenolic alkaloids, i.e., oleracein A (OA), oleracein B (011) and oleracein E (OE), isolated from Portulaca oleracea were determined, based on scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical and inhibitory effect on hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid peroxidation in rat brain homogenates. The DPPH radical scavenging activities of these phenolic alkaloids were lower than caffeic acid but higher than ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol, being in the following order: OB > OA > OE. OE was most potent in preventing formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) with an EC50 value of 73.13 mu M close to that of caffeic acid (72.09 mu M). It was demonstrated that phenolic alkaloids served as a new class of antioxidant agents in this plant. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
