Abstract
In this study, five compounds belonging to the Polymer composites (PCs) family, have been prepared with different amounts of polyacrylonitrile and polyindole in the composite. The PCs have inherently bactericidal activity, owing to the nitrile and indole groups. Antioxidant activity was assessed by using reducing power activity, superoxide radical scavenging activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In our study, butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol, which are considered synthetic standard antioxidants, were used to compare antioxidant activity. In addition, since it is known that the MDA levels resulting from the oxidation of fats in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells are inversely proportional to the antioxidant properties, it gave an idea about the in vitro antioxidant properties of the new synthesized PCs. Reducing force capacity, superoxide radical scavenging activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were found to be higher at 100 mu g mL-1 concentration compared to 50 mu g mL-1 concentration.
