Radical scavenging activity of bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids and traditional prophylactics against chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis

Abstract

The BIQAC had the most braod-spectrum radical scavenging activity, suggesting that it may be effective against chemotherapy-induced mucositis. These findings also suggest that this radical-scavenging activity screening method, against four kinds of radicals, may be useful for the screening of radical scavenging activity of new natural and synthetic chemicals.
