DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) is a stable free radical commonly used in scientific research to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of various compounds. The DPPH assay is a popular method for assessing the ability of antioxidants to scavenge free radicals, which can contribute to oxidative stress and are implicated in various diseases, including cancer.
DPPH itself is not directly related to cancer, its use in assessing antioxidant activity is significant in cancer research.
Higher antioxidant activity (as measured by DPPH) may correlate with better outcomes in certain cancers, while in other contexts, it may be associated with tumor aggressiveness.
