Cancer chemopreventive agents

Extracts prepared from red and high-pigment beetroots (Beta vulgaris L.) with a solvent, such as a water-containing solvent, possess antioxidant activity as demonstrated by a panel of assays. These extracts also have an ability to induce quinone reductase in Murine hepatoma cell (Hepa 1c1c7) cultured in vitro. Fractions purified from the active extracts also possess antioxidant activity and retain quinone reductase-inducing activity in the Hepa 1c1c7 cell line. The active extracts, purified by column, thin layer, and high-performance liquid chromatographic techniques, include betalains. A method of extracting a betalain includes steps of freeze-drying a source containing the betalain; grinding the freeze-dried source; and extracting the betalain from the ground source with the solvent. Additionally, the betalain extract can be isolated betalain components, such as by chromatography.
