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.
