Abstract

Impaired systemic redox homeostasis is implicated in the onset and development of various diseases, including skin diseases. Therefore, continuous search for natural products with antiox-idant bioactivities applicable in biomedicine is attractive topic of general interest. Research ef-forts aiming to validate antioxidant potentials of natural products has led to the development of several assays based on various test principles. Hence, understanding the advantages and limita-tions of various assays is important for selection of assays useful to study antioxidant and relat-ed bioactivities of natural products of biomedical interest. This review paper gives a short over- view on some chemical and cellular bioassays used to estimate the antioxidant activity of chosen natural products together with a brief overview on the use of natural products with antioxidant activities as adjuvant medicinal remedies in dermatology.
