The potential protective effect of tricetinidin as novel antioxidant is investigated and compared with selected known antioxidant substances in vitro. Dihydroethidium staining was performed to detect intracellular ROS formation and the protective effect of the antioxidant substances in combination with the superoxide-inducer antimycin a (AMA). Glutathione level, mitochondrial membrane potential and HO-1 expression were analysed for further characterization of the cellular response. The cytokinesis block micronucleus test was applied to investigate the anti-genotoxic effect of the substances against insulin induced genomic damage. AMA treatment caused a significant increase in intracellular ROS formation and insulin treatment induced a significant micronucleus induction in NRK cells. Combination of the antioxidant substances with AMA or insulin protected from the oxidative stress and the micronucleus-induction. All analysed antioxidants showed comparable effects on GSH production and mitochondrial membrane potential. Only delphinidin and tricetinidin caused an increase in HO-1 expression. Tricetinidin and delphinidin might be good candidates for development as an antioxidant supplement. Further research is necessary to show possible therapeutic and preventive effects of tricetinidin and delphinidin in vivo.
