Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (LGM2605) was cytoprotective in an in vitro model of iron overload-induced redox-inflammatory damage. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (25 mg/kg b.w.) exerts the antihyperglycemic effect by preventing the liver from peroxidation damage through inhibition of ROS level mediated increased level of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants.
Homovanillyl alcohol, a biological metabolite of Hydroxytyrosol, is a phenolic compound found in virgin olive oil (VOO) and wine. It exhibits high scavenging activities, protects red blood cells from hemolysis in a dose-dependent manner, and has a protective effect on cardiovascular disease and total mortality.
Neolinustatin a naturally occurring cyanoglycoside, is able to gradually produce HCN through enzymatic reactions as part of the plant's defense system against insects and pathogens.
(S,S)-Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside ((S,S)-SDG) is a lignan present in flaxseed with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-microbial and neuroprotective properties and can be used in the study of obesity, arthritis and osteoporosis.
