Abstract

The antiradical activity of phytol was evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance towards hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide anion radical (·O2(-)), methoxy radical (·CH2OH), carbon-dioxide anion radical (·CO2(-)), as well as towards nitric-oxide radical (·NO) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (·DPPH) radical. It reduced the production of all tested radicals showing more promising activity against ·CO2(-), ·CH2OH and ·DPPH radicals (56%, 50% and 48%, respectively) in comparison with ·NO, ·O2(-) and ·OH radicals (38%, 23% and 15%, respectively). The antimicrobial activity of phytol was evaluated by the microdilution method against eight bacterial and eight fungal strains. To varying degrees, it was proven to be active against all tested bacteria and fungi (MIC 0.003-0.038 mg/mL and MBC 0.013-0.052 mg/mL, MIC 0.008-0.016 mg/mL and MFC 0.090-0.520 mg/mL, respectively). According to the obtained results, medical foods containing phytol may support development of new therapies for heart disease.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 November 2014.
All research outputs
#22,778,604
of 25,394,764 outputs
Outputs from Natural Product Research
#1,562
of 2,395 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#282,006
of 321,323 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Natural Product Research
#15
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,394,764 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,395 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 321,323 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
