Abstract

A mixture of ADP, ferrous ions, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generates hydroxyl radicals (.OH) that attack the spin trap DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-pyrollidine-N-oxide) to yield the hydroxyl free radical spin-adduct, degrade deoxyribose and benzoate with the release of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material, and hydroxylate benzoate to give fluorescent products. Inhibition studies, with scavengers of the .OH radical, suggest that the behavior of iron-ADP in the reaction is complicated by the formation of ternary complexes with certain scavengers and detector molecules. In addition, iron-ADP reacting with H2O2 appears to release a substantial number of .OH radicals free into solution. During the generation of .OH radicals the ADP molecule was, as expected, damaged by the iron bound to it. Damage to the iron ligand in this way is not normally monitored in reaction systems that use specific detector molecules for .OH radical damage. Under certain reaction conditions the ligand may be the major recipient of .OH radical damage thereby leading to the incorrect assumption that the iron ligand is a poor Fenton reactant.

      Therefore, here, 2-deoxy-ribose was a less efficient scavenger, as compared to DMPO, and reduced DMPO–OH adduct concentration by 25% at 2 mM DMPO and 2 mM 2-deoxy-ribose. A similar observation was made by Gutteridge who showed that at 50 mM DMPO and 50 mM 2-deoxy-ribose, the latter inhibited formation of the DMPO–OH adduct by 45% in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and 0.1 mM Fe(II) salt [43]. Likewise, adenosine inhibits radical production far less efficiently than ATP, with an IC50 value of 1.11 mM (IC90 is ≫4 mM).

      As shown in Fig. 3, slow oxygen consumption was observed for a few minutes after the addition of ADP/Fe2+, after which the consumption of oxygen increased dramatically (Fig. 3, trace 0 μM). The time associated with the slow oxygen consumption that followed the addition of ADP/Fe2+ until the rapid oxygen uptake (lag time) is regarded to be the time required for the generation of a sufficient amount of ROS derived from ADP/Fe2+, such as the perferryl complex ADP-Fe3+-O2·−, responsible for the induction of lipid peroxidation [28,36,37]; the rapid oxygen consumption after this lag phase follows the peroxidative radical chain proliferation of membrane lipids by ROS. The extent of rapid oxygen consumption can be regarded as a good index of lipid peroxidation, seeing that it correlates well with the amount of TBARS formed from peroxide of fatty acid chains of mitochondrial phospholipids with TBARS [38].
