| Abstract | The antioxidant activity of anthocyanins has been well characterized in vitro; many cases has been postulated to provide an important exogenous mediator of oxidative stress in the gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of anthocyanin protection against peroxyl radical (AAPH)-induced oxidative damage and associated cytotoxicity in Caco-2 colon cancer cells. Crude blackberry extracts were purified by gel filtration column to yield purified anthocyanin extracts that were composed of 371 mg/g total anthocyanin, 90.1% cyanidin-3-glucoside, and 4.9 mmol Trolox equivalent/g (ORAC) value. There were no other detectable phenolic compounds in the purified anthocyanin extract. The anthocyanin extract suppressed AAPH-initiated Caco-2 intracellular oxidation in a concentration-dependent manner, with an IC$_{50}$ value of 6.5 ± 0.3 μg/ml. Anthocyanins were not toxic to Caco-2 cells, but provided significant (P < 0.05) protection against AAPH-induced cytotoxicity, when assessed using the CellTiter-Glo assay. AAPH-induced cytoxicity in Caco-2 cells was attributed to a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in the G1 phase and increased proportion of cells in the sub G1 phase, indicating apoptosis. Prior exposure of Caco-2 cells to anthocyanins suppressed (P < 0.05) the AAPH-induced apoptosis by decreasing the proportion of cells in the sub-G1 phase, normalized the proportion of cells in other cell cycle phases. Our results show that the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins principally attributed to cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and common to blackberry, are effective at inhibiting peroxyl radical induced apoptosis in cultured Caco-2 cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
