Abstract
Summary The antioxidant potential of a new flavonic derivative named conventionally theophylline-rutoside [TR-1722] was estimated by the measurement of G-6-Pase activity (marker enzyme for the endoplasmic reticulum), catalase activity (enzyme involved in the antioxidant defence process), and total-SH groups from the hepatic homogenate, using CCl4 as a free radical generating model. To show changes in the permeability of the hepatocyte membrane, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in plasma was determined. The obtained results suggest that TR-1722 acts by curtailing both lipid peroxidation and alkylation processes.
