Abstract

The control of oxidative stress with natural active substances could limit the development of numerous pathologies. Our objective was to study the antiradical effects of resveratrol (RSV), ε-viniferin (VNF), and vitisin B (VB) alone or in combination, and those of a standardized stilbene-enriched vine extract (SSVE). In the DPPH-, FRAP-, and NO-scavenging assays, RSV presented the highest activity with an IC50 of 81.92 ± 9.17, 13.36 ± 0.91, and 200.68 ± 15.40 µM, respectively. All binary combinations resulted in additive interactions in the DPPH- and NO-scavenging assays. In the FRAP assay, a synergic interaction for RSV + VNF, an additive for VNF + VB, and an antagonistic for RSV + VB were observed. The ternary combination of RSV + VNF + VB elicited an additive interaction in the DPPH assay and a synergic interaction in the FRAP- and NO-scavenging assays. There was no significant difference between the antioxidant activity of the SSVE and that of the combination of RSV + VNF. In conclusion, RSV presented the highest effects, followed by VNF and VB. The interactions revealed additive or synergistic effects, depending on the combination of the stilbenes and assay.

DPPH radical reduction and antioxidant capacity of individual stilbenes (RSV, resveratrol; VNF, ε-viniferin; VB, vitisin B) and their equimolar combinations. The 100% marker represents the DPPH alone, which was used as a control. The result of the representative experiment is shown. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Data were analyzed with an ANOVA (p < 0.05). Each letter (a, b, and c) indicates that the combinations were statistically different from the individual compounds (a for resveratrol, b for VNF, and c for VB) according to a post hoc Tukey comparison test at p < 0.05.
