Anti-cyclooxygenase, anti-glycation, and anti-skin aging effect of Dendrobium officinale flowers' aqueous extract and its phytochemical validation in aging.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (D. officinale) , widely called as "life-saving immortal grass" by Chinese folk, is a scarce and endangered species. The edible stems of D. officinale have been extensively studied for active chemical components and various bioactivities. However, few studies have reported the well-being beneficial effects of D. officinale flowers (DOF). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the in vitro biological potency of its aqueous extract and screen its active components.

Methods

Antioxidant tests, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and intracellular reactive oxygen species (R
