β¦ Synopsis
Possible inhibitory effects were investigated for four isoflavones, biochanin A, daidzein, formononetin and genistein on lipid peroxidation by reactive oxygen species. Biochanin A, formononetin and genistein inhibited lecithin peroxidation which was induced by hydroxy radical generation, by interaction of haemoglobin and hydrogen peroxide. Daidzein and formononetin inhibited lecithin peroxidation which was induced by superoxide anion generation by xanthine-xanthine oxidase. These results demonstrated that the differences in antioxidant activities of isoflavones are dependent on the relation between their chemical structures and reactive oxygen species.

## Abstract Phenolic compounds are widely present in plants and they have received considerable attention due to their antioxidant property. In this article we report the results of a study of the reactivity of 10 selected phenolics (sesamol, three phenolic acids, three flavonols, one flavone, and
Keishi-bukuryo-gan, a traditional herbal medicine, is a representative drug for blood stagnation and an effective drug for brain disorders. Keishi-bukuryo-gan was shown to have inhibitory effects on lipid peroxidation of brain homogenate induced by the ferrous ion-hydrogen peroxide system. This drug
In the present work, the generation mechanism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on calcium peroxide (CaO(2)) was studied. A very intense chemiluminescence (CL) signal was observed when adding an aqueous solution of luminol or 2-methyl-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2alpha]-pyrazin-3-one hyd
