Inhibitory Activity of Hydroxytyrosol against Streptolysin O-Induced Hemolysis.

In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory activity of water-soluble polyphenols in olives (Olea europaea) against SLO-induced hemolysis. Hydroxytyrosol inhibited SLO-induced hemolytic activity, and the amount required for 50% inhibition of hemolysis was 1.30 µg. These findings suggest that the water-soluble polyphenols contained in olives have inhibitory activity against SLO-induced hemolysis. PMID: 29910212 [PubMed - in process]
