Abstract: Effecs of inositol triphosphate (IP3)on scavenging free radicals were identified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)spectroscopy.In Fenton reaction system.the scavenging rate of (OH)by IP:(produced by baker’s yeast )In 6mg/ml was 75.34%. the scavenging rate of (OH)by IP3(produced by phytase) in 9mg/ml was 73.29%.In HX-OX reaction system .the scavenging rate of(O)by IP3(produced by baker’s yeast )in 18mg/ml was 72.76%.the scavenging rate of (O.2) by IP3(produced by phytase )in 9mg/ml was 53.84%. It was deduced that.thc reason why IP3 could be used as a curative for preventing alleviating or combating several diseases was that IP3 could scavenge free radicals efficiently.
