A Comprehensive Study on Antioxidant Activity of Bio-Active Molecules Shirish Kumar Kumar Kodadi

Antioxidants are generally used in dietary supplements and have been researched for the prevention of diseases, such as cancer, coronary heart disease, and even altitude sickness. These are the substances that will secure our cells against free radicals, which are basically liable for the previously mentioned maladies. Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or when we expose to tobacco smoke or radiation and so on. Antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E and carotenoids, may help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Other naturally occurring antioxidants include flavonoids, tannins, phenols, and lignans. Plant-based foods are the best sources. These include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices, and even cocoa, the examples which are mentioned above are natural Antioxidants, yet these are not adequate for us from forestalling all the free radicals generated in our body, for this, there is a need of continuous replenishment of Antioxidants in our body for which so many bioactive molecules possessing the Antioxidant properties are needed, in this context, there is a need of broad exploration on these molecules. Keeping these realities under consideration a comprehensive in vitro and in silico studies have been carried out which are simple and reliable compared to the existing methods, and the nitty-gritty findings are written in this book beginning with all the nuts and bolts which are required to understand the methodology involved for assessing the Antioxidant activity of Bioactive molecules.
