Medicinal plant polyphenols in vitro activity on glycation and oxidative stress related to vascular diseases

Natural phenolic compounds and flavonoids have received attention for their biological effects, such as antioxidant and antiglycative activities. The polyphenols studied in this research are characteristic phytoconstituents of several medicinal plants widely used in traditional medicine such as: baicalein (from Scutellaria baicalensis G.), eupatorin (Eupatorium semiserratum DC.), galangin (Alpinia officinarum L.), magnolol (Magnolia officinalis L.), myricetin (Myrica rubra S. Z.), oleuropein (Olea europaea L.) and silybin (Silybum marianum L.)
