Cyanidin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside is a potent antioxidant against cytochrome c-enhanced 5-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2,4-triol oxidation
A naturally occurring flavonoid, cyanidin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, is shown to have potent antioxidant activity against the cytochrome c-enhanced oxidation of 5-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2,4-triol (6-OH dopamine), an oxidation assay reaction of neurotoxic relevance.
