| Bioactivity | Phytic acid (Inositol hexaphosphate) is a phosphorus storage compound of seeds and cereal grains. Phytic acid is known as a food inhibitor, which has a strong ability to chelate multivalent metal ions, specially zinc, calcium, iron and as with protein residue. Phytic acid inhibits the enzymatic superoxide source xanthine oxidase (XO), and has antioxidative, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory effects[1][2][3][4]. |
| Invitro | Phytic acid (myo-Inositol) inhibits the formation of uric acid from xanthine with an IC50 of about 30 mM. The generation of the superoxide is greatly affected by phytic acid; the IC50 is about 6 mM, indicating that the superoxide generating domain of XO is more sensitive to phytic acid[3]. |
