Many present day diseases are reported to be due to the shift in balance of pro-oxidant and antioxidant homeostasis in the body (1). Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which include superoxide radical (O−•2), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the hydroxyl radical (•OH) are well documented as cytotoxic intermediates. These ROS differ significantly in their interactions and can cause extensive cellular damage such as nucleic acid strand scission (2), modification of polypeptides, lipid peroxidation etc.
