Abstract

In order to study the DNA protection and possible mechanisms of vitexin, it was measured by using three spectrophotometric assays, including DNA protection, Fe2+-complexing, and Cu2+ reducing. In addition, its Fe2+-complexing reaction was also analyzed using UV-Vis spectra. The results showed that the IC50 values of vitexin were (919.6±23.6), (9.3±1.2) and (421.7±29.2) μmol/L, respectively, for DNA protection assay, Fe2+-complexing assay, and Cu2+ reducing assay. When mixed with Fe2+, vitexin gave a UV-Vis peak at 554 nm \[molar absorptivity ε=2 680.74 L/(mol·cm)\]. In conclusion, vitexin can effectively protect DNA from ·OH induced damage. The protective mechanism may include electron-transfer (ET) and Fe2+-complexing, and its Fe2+-complexing site is possibly between 4-carbonly and 5-hydroxyl groups.
