Unique flavonoids of indigo Research using analytical instruments such as mass spectrometry has revealed that indigo contains flavonoid compounds characterized by the skeleton of 3,5,4'-trihydroxy-6,7-methylenedioxyflavone (hereinafter referred to as TMF).

Antioxidant Effects of Indigo Various diseases are believed to be caused by reactive oxygen species. The ability of indigo to scavenge reactive oxygen species was measured using the "Hydrophilic Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (H-ORAC) method" and the "1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method." As a result, it was revealed that indigo exhibits high antioxidant capacity.
