Silybin
has been complexed in 1:1 ratio with phosphatidyl choline
to give IdB 1016 (Silybin Phytosome) in order to increase its
bioavailability. The antioxidant and free radical scavenger
action of this new form of silybin has been evaluated. One
hour after the intragastric administration to rats of IdB
1016 (Silybin Phytosome) IdB decreased by about 40% the lipid
peroxidation induced in microsomes by NADPH, CCl4 and cumene
hydroperoxide, probably by acting on lipid derived radicals.
Spin
trapping experiments showed, in fact, that the complexed form
of silybin was able to scavenge lipid dienyl radicals generated
in the microsomal membranes. In addition, IdB 1016 (Silybin Phytosome)
was also found to interact with free radical intermediates
produced during the metabolic activation of carbon tetrachloride
and methylhydrazine.
These
effects indicate IdB 1016 (Silybin Phytosome) as a potentially
protective agent against free radical-mediated toxic damage.
