New Bioactive Fungal Molecules with High Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Capacity Isolated from Cerrena unicolor Idiophasic Cultures

Table 2

EC₅₀ values (effective concentration at which the radicals present in the investigated samples were scavenged by 50%; the antioxidant activity was 50%) of c-EPL and ex-LMS isolated from C. unicolor submerged cultures in comparison to trolox and Vit C.

EC50 (μg/mL)
	c-EPL	ex-LMS	trolox	Vit C
chemiluminescence method	183.15±1.2	11.04±0.2	0.39±0.1	6.25±0.2
ABTS radical scavenging	493.8±2.2	25.0±0.1	315.9±2.1	268.4±2.2
DPPH radical scavenging	>800	85.3±0.7	59.52±0.7	82.56±1.1

All results are expressed as mean ± SD from three experiments (𝑛=3). Values within the column and the row for investigated samples are significantly different (P ≤ 0.05). EC₅₀ > 800 μg/mL cannot be calculated from the graphs.
