Comparative Antilipoperoxidant, Antinecrotic and Scavanging Properties of Terpenes and Biflavones from<i>Ginkgo</i>and some Flavonoids

Abstract

Ginkgo biloba extract is known to be efficient in diseases associated with free radical generation. This study compares the in vitro effect of some constituents of Ginkgo against lipid peroxidation and cell necrosis of isolated rat hepatocytes, and against superoxide anion which is generally implicated in cell damages.
