Eight antioxidants from five different polyphenolic classes (cinnamic acids, benzoic acids, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and stilbenes), and the water-soluble vitamin E derivative trolox were examined for their antioxidant activity in vitro. In addition, the compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity on growing fibroblasts and their inhibition of the classical pathway of the complement system.
