To search for antioxidant agents from natural resources, in this paper the in vitro antioxidant activities of two natural sweeteners, mogroside V and 11-oxo-mogroside V isolated from the fruits of Siraitia grosvenori, were determined using chemiluminescence (CL). The results showed that these sweet glycosides, having cucurbitane triterpenoid aglycon, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on reactive oxygen species (, H₂O₂ and •OH) and DNA oxidative damage. 11-oxo-mogroside V showed a higher scavenging effect on (concentration at which 50% of chemiluminescence intensity is inhibited [EC₅₀]=4.79 µg/ml) and H₂O₂ (EC₅₀=16.52 µg/ml) than those of mogroside V. However, mogroside V was more effective in scavenging •OH, with EC₅₀=48.44 µg/ml compared with that of 11-oxo-mogroside V (EC₅₀=146.17 µg/ml). Further, 11-oxo-mogroside V exhibited a remarkable inhibitory effect on •OH-induced DNA damage with EC₅₀=3.09 µg/ml.
