Anthocyanins may play an important role in atherosclerosis prevention. However, the structure-function relationships are not well understood. The objective of this study was to compare the inhibitory effect of 21 anthocyanins against oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced endothelial injury to understand the relationship between anthocyanin chemical structure and the endothelial protective properties, measured as cell viability, MDA production and NO release. Additionally, the intracellular anti-radical activity of the selected anthocyanins was investigated to identify the correlation with endothelial protection. Our results provide evidence that the number of -OH in total or in B-ring, 3',4'-ortho-dihydroxyl and 3-hydroxyl are the main structural requirements of anthocyanins in suppressing oxidative stress-induced endothelial injury and such inhibitory effect was significantly correlated with the intracellular radical scavenging activity.
