Superoxide anion radical is a kind of reactive oxygen, which is formed by the reduction of molecular oxygen. Excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species will lead to oxidative stress.
Superoxide anion free radicals are produced through the reaction system of xanthine and xanthine oxidase. WST-1 (a water-soluble tetrazolium salt) can react with the generated superoxide anion to produce water-soluble formazan. When the tested sample contains the superoxide anion free radical inhibitor, it can inhibit the formation of formazan. When the tested sample contains the substance that produces superoxide anion free radical, it can promote the formation of formazan dye. By colorimetric analysis of WST-1 products, the units of activity of inhibition or production of superoxide anion radical in samples can be calculated.
