Description: |
11-Oxo-mogroside V is a natural sweetener, exhibits strong antioxidant activity. It exhibits significant inhibitory effects on reactive oxygen species (O2-, H2O2 and *OH) with EC50 of 4.79, 16.52, and 146.17 μg/mL, respectively. 11-Oxo-mogroside V exhibits the remarkable inhibitory effect on two-stage carcinogenesis test of mouse skin tumor induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) as an initiator and TPA as a promoter. |

Int J Food Sci Nutr. 2007 Nov;58(7):548-56. | The antioxidant activities of natural sweeteners, mogrosides, from fruits of Siraitia grosvenori.[Pubmed: 17852496] | To search for antioxidant agents from natural resources, in this paper the in vitro antioxidant activities of two natural sweeteners, mogroside V and 11-Oxo-mogroside V isolated from the fruits of Siraitia grosvenori, were determined using chemiluminescence (CL). METHODS AND RESULTS: The results showed that these sweet glycosides, having cucurbitane triterpenoid aglycon, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on reactive oxygen species (O2-, H2O2 and *OH) and DNA oxidative damage. 11-Oxo-mogroside V showed a higher scavenging effect on O2- (concentration at which 50% of chemiluminescence intensity is inhibited [EC50] =4.79 microg/ml) and H2O2 (EC50 = 16.52 microg/ml) than those of mogroside V. However, mogroside V was more effective in scavenging *OH, with EC50 =48.44 microg/ml compared with that of 11-Oxo-mogroside V (EC50 = 146.17 microg/ml). Further, 11 -oxo-mogroside V exhibited a remarkable inhibitory effect on *OH-induced DNA damage with EC50 = 3.09 microg/ml. | Cancer Lett. 2003 Jul 30;198(1):37-42. | Anticarcinogenic activity of natural sweeteners, cucurbitane glycosides, from Momordica grosvenori.[Pubmed: 12893428] | To search for cancer chemopreventive agents from natural resources, many phytochemicals and food additives have been screened. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consequently, two natural sweeteners, mogroside V and 11-Oxo-mogroside V isolated from the fruits of Momordica grosvenori, exhibited strong inhibitory effect on the primary screening test indicated by the induction of Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) by a tumor promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). CONCLUSIONS: These sweet glycosides, having cucurbitane triterpenoid aglycon, exhibited the significant inhibitory effects on the two-stage carcinogenesis test of mouse skin tumors induced by peroxynitrite (ONOO-) as an initiator and TPA as a promoter. Further, 11-Oxo-mogroside V also exhibited the remarkable inhibitory effect on two-stage carcinogenesis test of mouse skin tumor induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) as an initiator and TPA as a promoter. |
