Protection by extra virgin olive oil against oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. Chemical and biological studies on the health benefits due to a major component of the Mediterranean diet.
Abstract We report the results of in vivo studies in Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes in which addition of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to their diet significantly increased their life span with respect to the control group. Furthermore, when nematodes were exposed to the pesticide paraquat, they started to die after two days, but after the addition of EVOO to their diet, both survival percentage and lifespans of paraquat-exposed nematodes increased. Since paraquat is associated with superoxide radical production, a test for scavenging this radical was performed using cyclovoltammetry and the EVOO efficiently scavenged the superoxide. Thus, a linear correlation (y = -0.0838x +19.73, regres…
5-Amino-1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid
In the title compound, C11H8F3N3O2, there are two molecules in the asymmetric unit wherein the phenyl rings make dihedral angles of 65.3 (2) and 85.6 (2)° with the pyrazole rings. In the crystal, pairs of molecules are held together by O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups, forming a centrosymmetric dimer with an R22(8) motif. Intramolecular N—H...O interactions are also present.
