Carnosic acid from rosemary extracts: a potential chemoprotective agent against aflatoxin B1. An in vitro study
Stefano Costa,Aneli Utan,Ester Speroni,Rinaldo Cervellati,Gianfranco Piva,Aldo Prandini,Maria Clelia Guerra +6 more
TL;DR: Since oxidative stress plays an important role in the toxicity mechanism of several mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1, the use of natural or synthetic free radical scavengers could be a potential chemopreventive strategy.

Cyanidin-3-O-β-glucopyranoside, a natural free-radical scavenger against aflatoxin B1- and ochratoxin A-induced cell damage in a human hepatoma cell line (Hep G2) and a human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line (CaCo-2)
Maria Clelia Guerra,Fabio Galvano,Laura Bonsi,Ester Speroni,Stefano Costa,C. Renzulli,Rinaldo Cervellati +6 more
TL;DR: The experiments proved the significant cytoprotective effect of C-3-G in vitro against OTA- and AFB1-induced cell damage and the in vitro free-radical scavenging capacity of the anthocyanin was tested with the Briggs–Rauscher oscillating reaction.
Anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive and antioxidant activities of Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile.
Ester Speroni,Rinaldo Cervellati,Gabbriella Innocenti,Stefano Costa,Maria Clelia Guerra,S. Dall’ Acqua,Paolo Govoni +6 more
TL;DR: The histological sections of rat paw confirm the antiflogistic activity of the plant extracts, and the antioxidant activity obtained seems to be in good accordance with the pharmacological results.

Antioxidant and choleretic properties of Raphanus sativus L. sprout (Kaiware Daikon) extract
Jessica Barillari,Rinaldo Cervellati,Stefano Costa,Maria Clelia Guerra,Ester Speroni,and Aneli Utan,Renato Iori +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluated the antioxidant properties of radish sprouts extract (KDE), in which the glucosinolate glucoraphasatin (GRH), showing some antioxidant activity, is present, and the effect on the bile flow of KDE administration was investigated in an animal experimental model.

An experimental and mechanistic investigation of the complexities arising during inhibition of the Briggs-Rauscher reaction by antioxidants
TL;DR: In this article, a method to determine the relative antioxidant capacity of radical scavengers based on the inhibition of the oscillations of the BriggsRauscher (BR) oscillating reaction was previously reported.
