Biological Activity
| Description | Maltol (Larixinic acid, Palatone, Veltol) is a naturally occurring organic compound that is flavour enhancer and flavouring agent. |
|---|---|
| In vitro | Maltol can effectively protect nerve cells against oxidative damage caused by ROS in order to maintain normal physiological functions of cells and inhibit diabetes-induced oxidative stress and irreversible kidney damage[1]. |
| In vivo | For hepatoprotective activity in vivo, pretreatment with maltol (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg; 15 days) drastically prevents the elevated activities of aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and triglyceride (TG) in serum and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in liver tissue. Meanwhile, the levels of hepatic antioxidant, such as catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) are elevated by maltol pretreatment, compared to the alcohol group. Maltol pretreatment significantly inhibits alcohol-induced hepatocyte apoptosis and fatty degeneration. It is effective in the prevention of alcohol-induced hepatic damage in mice[1]. Also, maltol is suggested to be a functional agent to prevent the oxidative damage in the brain of mice[2]. |
