Abstract
α1-microglobulin (A1M) is a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein with reductase activity and radical- and heme-binding anti-oxidative functions. In addition, exposure of A1M to hemoglobin has been shown to induce proteolytic elimination of a C-terminal tetrapeptide yielding a heme-degrading form, truncated A1M (t-A1M). Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the production of free radicals and hypochlorite, is released by neutrophils during the inflammatory response to bacterial infections. MPO-induced low density lipoprotein (LDL)-oxidation in blood has been suggested as a causative factor in atherosclerosis. In this study we have hypothesized that A1M interacts with MPO in a similar mode as with hemoglobin, and is a regulator of its activity. The results show that A1M is proteolytically cleaved, with formation of t-A1M, after exposure to MPO, and that t-A1M contains iron and heme-degradation products. The reaction is dependent of pH, time and concentration of substrates and a pH-value around 7 is shown to be optimal for cleavage. Furthermore, A1M inhibits MPO- and hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidation of LDL. The results suggest that A1M may have a role as an inhibitor of the damaging effects of the neutrophil respiratory burst on bystander tissue components.

Oligonucleotides are potent antioxidants acting primarily through metal ion chelation. J Biol Inorg Chem 2010; 15:601-20.

Abstract
We report on a rather unknown feature of oligonucleotides, namely, their potent antioxidant activity. Previously, we showed that nucleotides are potent antioxidants in Fe(II)/Cu(I/II)-H(2)O(2) systems. Here, we explored the potential of 2'-deoxyoligonucleotides as inhibitors of the Fe(II)/Cu(I/II)-induced *OH formation from H(2)O(2). The oligonucleotides [d(A)(5,7,20); d(T)(20); (2'-OMe-A)(5)] proved to be highly potent antioxidants with IC(50) values of 5-17 or 48-85 microM in inhibiting Fe(II)/Cu(I)- or Cu(II)-induced H(2)O(2) decomposition, respectively, thus representing a 40-215-fold increase in potency as compared with Trolox, a standard antioxidant. The antioxidant activity is only weakly dependent on the oligonucleotides' length or base identity. We analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy the composition of the d(A)(5) solution exposed to the aforementioned oxidative conditions for 4 min or 24 h. We concluded that the primary (rapid) inhibition mechanism by oligonucleotides is metal ion chelation and the secondary (slow) mechanism is radical scavenging. We characterized the Cu(I)-d(A)(5) and Cu(II)-d(A)(7) complexes by (1)H-NMR and (31)P-NMR or frozen-solution ESR spectroscopy, respectively. Cu(I) is probably coordinated to d(A)(5) via N1 and N7 of two adenine residues and possibly also via two phosphate/bridging water molecules. The ESR data suggest Cu(II) chelation through two nitrogen atoms of the adenine bases and two oxygen atoms (phosphates or water molecules). We conclude that oligonucleotides at micromolar concentrations prevent Fe(II)/Cu(I/II)-induced oxidative damage, primarily through metal ion chelation. Furthermore, we propose the use of a short, metabolically stable oligonucleotide, (2'-OMe-A)(5), as a highly potent and relatively long lived (t(1/2) approximately 20 h) antioxidant.

Abstract
Cu-induced oxidative damage is associated with cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative and age related diseases. The quest for Cu-chelators as potential antioxidants spans the past decades. Yet, biocompatible Cu-chelators that do not alter the normal metal-ion homeostasis are still lacking. Here, we explored the potential of natural and synthetic nucleotides and inorganic phosphates as inhibitors of the Cu(I)/(II)-induced ()OH formation via either the Fenton or Haber-Weiss mechanisms. For this purpose, we studied by ESR the modulation of Cu-induced ()OH production, from the decomposition of H(2)O(2), by nucleotides and phosphates. ATP inhibited both Cu(I) and Cu(II) catalyzed reactions (IC(50) 0.11 and 0.04mM, respectively). Likewise, adenosine 5'-beta,gamma-methylene triphosphate (AMP-PCP), adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (ATP-gamma-S), ADP and tripolyphosphate were identified as good inhibitors. However, AMP and adenosine were poor inhibitors in the Cu(I)-H(2)O(2) system, IC(50) ca. 1.2mM, and radical enhancers in the Cu(II)-H(2)O(2) system. The best antioxidant was adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imino] triphosphate (AMP-PNP) (IC(50) 0.05mM at Cu(I)-H(2)O(2) system) which was 15 times more active than the known antioxidant Trolox. ATP and analogues inhibit Cu-induced ()OH formation through an ion chelation rather than a scavenging mechanism. Two phosphate groups are required for making active Fenton-reaction inhibitors. Nucleotides and phosphates triggered a biphasic modulation of the Haber-Weiss reaction, but a monophasic inhibition of the Fenton reaction. We conclude that nucleotides at sub mM concentrations can prevent Cu-induced OH radical formation from H(2)O(2), and hence may possibly prevent oxidative damage.

Abstract
The effect of hyperthyroidism on some oxidative stress parameters is reported. The hyperthyroid state was induced by intraperitoneal injection of triiodothyronine (T3)(10 microg/kg body weight) for 14 days in two groups of female rabbits (3 and 12 months old). The T3 injection caused increase by 1.5-fold to 1.7-fold in T3 serum level, and 2-fold to 3-fold decrease (age-dependent) in body weight gain at the end of experimental period. The induced hyperthyroidism caused a significant increase in the serum concentration of the lipid peroxidation end-product malondialdehyde and lowered erythrocyte resistance to oxidative stress when subjected to the free radical generator 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride in vitro. The half maximum haemolysis time (HT50) decreased in the both experimental groups of rabbits, by about 12 min in the 3-month-old animals and 27 min in the 12-month-old animals. The study showed for the first time that hyperthyroidism enhances the ability of plasma to protect against iron-binding and iron oxidizing organic radicals. The scavenging property and antioxidant capacity of plasma against iron-binding inorganic radicals also increased. Measurement of erythrocyte resistance to oxidative stress and the protective ability of plasma against oxygen radicals discriminates the thyroid hormone modulatory effects in defence mechanisms against lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
The effect of hypothyroidism on some oxidative stress parameters is reported. Moderate hypothyroid state was induced in two groups of female rabbits (3 and 12 months old) by giving 50 mg/kg body weight (BW) of propylthiouracil (PTU) per os for 6 days and 20 mg/kg BW of methimazole (MMI) for further 14 days. Serum T4 and T3 concentrations decreased by about 38-40 and 32-36%, respectively. The induced hypothyroidism resulted in a significant decrease in the serum concentration of the lipid peroxidation end-product malondialdehyde, as measured by the thiobarbituric-acid assay. Erythrocytes of hypothyroid animals exhibited higher resistance to oxidative stress, while submitted to free radicals generator 2,2'-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) in vitro. Using two detector systems (phospholipid liposomes and deoxyribose), sensitive to either organic or inorganic oxygen radical damage, the ability of euthyroid and hypothyroid rabbit plasma to protect against oxygen radicals was evaluated. The plasma of hypothyroid animals showed about 20% higher ability to protect against iron-binding organic radicals, but about 50% lower chain-breaking antioxidant activity. The antioxidant capacity of plasma against inorganic radicals was not affected by hypothyroidism. In conclusion, the results show that thyroid hormones modulate the free-radical-induced oxidative damage of lipids and that hypothyroidism offers some protection against lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been widely known to inflict biological damage upon a variety of biological sites. The ability to counteract any such activity has been the subject of this work, in an attempt to comprehend prooxidant metal ion induced oxidation and its possible physiological consequences. Five Mediterranean aqueous herb infusions have been employed in the investigation of possible pro/antioxidant activity promoted by prooxidant iron ions. In the presence of phospholipid liposomes or linoleic acid micelles or 2-deoxy-D-ribose, it was shown that all of the aqueous infusions used exhibited antioxidant activity in comparison to the iron control. The antioxidant activity, studied on 2-deoxy-D-ribose, at three concentration levels in each herb, appears to be dose dependent, albeit non-linear. The total polyphenol content of the investigated herb infusions, however, does not directly correlate with the observed antioxidant activity. The variable, yet effective, antioxidant capacity of the aqueous infusions indicates that their antioxidant components can quench ROS generating activity, brought on different substrates and likely arisen by variable mechanisms involving different ROS.

Abstract
Bovine lactoferrin (LF) and lactoferricin B (LFcin B), an antimicrobial peptide derived from bovine LF, inhibited thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) formation in a iron/ascorbate-induced liposomal phospholipid peroxidation system. The inhibition of TBARS formation occurred with N-acylated 9-mer peptides with a core sequence of LFcin B and, compared to LFcin B, their antioxidant effect was clearly observed at a concentration almost 100 times lower.

Abstract
A total of 11 methanol extracts obtained from four different Nepalese Zanthoxylum species were screened for their antiproliferative activity against the growth of human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The extract obtained from Z. armatum barks was highly active with an IC50 value of 11 micrograms/mL. Also, the extracts obtained from Z. oxyphyllum barks and roots with IC50 values of 53 and 57 micrograms/mL, respectively, showed potent activity. Their antiproliferative activity was not due to cytotoxic effects on cell membranes, as documented by the activity of lactate dehydrogenase released from the cytoplasm of keratinocytes, which did not exceed that of the control value. Rather, they also protected against radical-induced damage to model membranes stimulated with 2,2'-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride.

Abstract
In an ethnopharmacological screening of selected Nepalese medicinal plants, the inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation of 36 methanolic extracts of 28 different plant species were evaluated using bovine brain phospholipid liposomes as model membranes. The most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 0.93 microg/ml was the extract obtained from the bark of Clerodendrum indicum. The extracts obtained from Aglaia roxburghiana fruits, Euonymus pendulus barks and Emblica officinalis fruits were also active and inhibited lipid peroxidation with IC50 values of 10, 12 and 13 microg/ml, respectively. The most active extracts were from indigenous plants traditionally used to treat inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Promethazine sulfoxide was obtained with a quantitative yield in a horse radish peroxidase-catalyzed reaction of promethazine and hydrogen peroxide and was also prepared by direct chemical synthesis. The enzymatic sulfoxidation of promethazine was studied in vitro as a function of pH, promethazine, and hydrogen peroxide concentration. Promethazine sulfoxide inhibits with an apparent K(i) of 59.7 microM at pH 5.5 the enzymatic reaction, followed spectrophotometrically, polarographically, potentiometrically, and luminometrically. The reaction was also inhibited by ascorbic acid (K(i) 26.8 microM) and glutathione (K(i) 41.8 microM). The spectrophotometric techniques employed, together with ESR spectrometry, allowed the identification of at least three radical species formed in the course of the reaction. Promethazine sulfoxide is devoid of the antioxidant effect exhibited by promethazine on rat brain synaptosomes. The sulfoxide also lacks photosensitizing action, while retaining the neuroleptic effect of the parent compound.

Abstract
The ability of novel 10-substituted anthrones to inhibit 12-lipoxygenase (12-LO) in mouse epidermal homogenate and lipid peroxidation in both bovine brain phospholipid liposomes and erythrocyte ghosts was investigated, and compared with their ability to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in bovine leukocytes. The compounds were fairly potent inhibitors of epidermal 12-LO, in addition to their strong inhibitory effects against leukocyte 5-LO. Although the antipsoriatic drug, anthralin, predominantly inhibited epidermal 12-LO, the novel derivatives were more selective 5-LO inhibitors. Compounds with free phenolic groups in the attached aromatic ring were also potent inhibitors of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation in both sources of lipid substrate. This property was not correlated with their ability to inhibit the 5- and 12-LO pathways, suggesting that their mechanism of 5-/12-LO inhibition is not simply due to scavenging of peroxyl radicals generated at the active site of the enzymes. The compounds are dual-purpose inhibitors and may play a protective role against oxidative damage to psoriatic skin, in addition to their antiinflammatory 5-LO and 12-LO inhibitory properties.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary bypass patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery appear to be under oxidative stress, when compared with normal healthy controls, by showing increased levels of protein and lipid damage. During bypass surgery two further episodes of oxidative stress occur. The first is seen when patients are placed on extracorporeal blood circulation and oxygenation which results in a rise in lipid peroxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. The second phase of oxidative stress occurs during reperfusion of the myocardium following removal of the aortic cross clamp. Coincident with evidence of increased oxidative damage to lipids during these latter phases of oxidative stress were decreases in plasma iron-binding and iron-oxidising antioxidant activities.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to characterize large unilamellar vesicles (LUVETs) prepared by a hand-driven extrusion device in order to use them for studies of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity. Vesicle structure and size were examined by electron microscopy. Lipid and antioxidant content was determined before and after the extrusion procedure. Then LUVETs were subjected to autoxidation initiated by both the lipid-soluble 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) and the water-soluble 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) azocompounds. The results demonstrated that: i) LUVETs prepared with lipid concentrations ranging between 25 and 150 mM were essentially unilamellar and reasonably homogeneous, with an average diameter of 90 nm; ii) the phospholipid, cholesterol and antioxidant amounts retained by filters were about 10-15%; iii) LUVETs were suitable for autoxidation studies initiated by the water-soluble azocompound both in the absence and presence of antioxidants. The lipid-soluble azocompound could be used only at low concentrations and its vesicle content had to be determined since part of the initiator was not incorporated into the lipid bilayer. These data suggest that LUVETs seem to be recommended for studies of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Extracorporeal circulation of blood during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery exposes cells to non-physiological surfaces and shear stress which can activate several regulatory cascades, and neutrophils to release superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Shear stresses generated by pumps and suction systems cause lysis of red blood cells and the release of haemoglobin. Together the release of reactive forms of oxygen and haemoglobin can lead to the appearance of low molecular mass chelatable iron (bleomycin-detectable iron). All patients undergoing open heart surgery appear to release iron to plasma transferrin, increasing its iron saturation. In 13% of patients, however, the transferrin became fully iron-saturated, and by the end of open-heart surgery we could detect bleomycin-chelatable iron in the plasma. Saturation of transferrin with iron eliminates its iron-binding antioxidant properties, which can result in a stimulation of iron-dependent radical damage to selected detector molecules.

Abstract
The interaction between alpha-tocopherol and copper ion and its effect on the oxidations of methyl linoleate micelles and soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomes in aqueous dispersions have been studied. alpha-Tocopherol reacted with copper in methanol with a rate constant estimated as 0.56 M-1s-1 at 37 degrees C. Similarly, alpha-tocopherol incorporated into methyl linoleate and ethyl palmitate micelles and also phosphatidylcholine liposomal membranes interacted with copper at roughly the similar rate. In every case, the formation of alpha-tocopheroxyl radical and reduction of cupric ion to cuprous ion were observed. Under these circumstances, alpha-tocopherol acted as a prooxidant rather than antioxidant. This interaction was also observed between endogenous alpha-tocopherol in human low density lipoprotein and copper, and the rate was estimated to be higher than that in methanol, implying the facile interaction of the two at LDL surface. However, copper incorporated in ceruloplasmin or chelated with albumin did not interact with endogenous alpha-tocopherol in LDL. It was concluded that alpha-tocopherol reacts with free copper(II) ion to give more reactive copper(I) ion and may act as a prooxidant for lipid peroxidation in the presence of free copper ion. However, such a prooxidant effect of alpha-tocopherol may not be important in vivo, where substantially all the copper ion must be sequestered.

Abstract
Glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids typical of the myelin sheath have been examined for the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive materials after attack by hydroxyl free radicals. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive materials are formed following exposure of phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) to hydroxyl radical attack in the order PS > PC > PE while the sphingolipids, sphingomyelin and cerebroside and the sterol cholesterol, did not form TBA reactive materials. Inclusion of cholesterol into PC vesicles reduced the formation of TBA reactive materials on hydroxyl radical attack while with PS there was an increase. In mixed glycerophospholipid systems inclusion of cerebroside reduced formation of TBA reactive materials following hydroxyl radical attack on phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, but not phosphatidylethanolamine. The findings are discussed in relation to the oxidative damage we have observed in the central nervous system at different stages of chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis [Brett R. and Rumsby M. G. Neurochem. Int. 23, 35-44 (1993)].

Abstract
The non-enzymatic oxidations of soybean phosphatidylcholine liposomes, methyl linoleate micelles and low-density lipoprotein in aqueous dispersions induced by copper and iron have been studied aiming specifically at elucidating the action of the metal chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA), nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), adenosine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt (ADP), desferrioxamine (DFO), penicillamine (PCM), and triethylene tetramine (TTM). The effects of chelators on chemiluminescence emitted from its probe luminol in the decomposition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide by metal ion were also studied. The effects of chelators on the oxidations depended both on the metal ion and the substrate. Namely, in the oxidations of both liposomes and micelles, EDTA and NTA suppressed the copper-induced oxidations, whereas they enhanced the oxidations induced by iron. ADP had little effect, while PCM and TTM had accelerating effect for both metal ions. On the other hand, in the oxidation of LDL, none of these chelators enhanced the oxidation. Especially, TTM and PCM suppressed the copper-induced oxidation of LDL, suggesting that the chelating agents blocked the access of the metal ion to the hydroperoxide within LDL. The effects of chelators on chemiluminescence emission were similar to those on the oxidations of liposomes and micelles. The cyclic voltammograms of metal complexes were also measured. The multiple effects of chelators on the rate of non-enzymatic, metal-catalyzed oxidations of lipids were interpreted by their influence on redox-potential and accessibility to hydroperoxide of the metal-chelator complex.

Abstract
The antipsoriatic anthrones anthralin and butantrone caused degradation of the DNA sugar deoxyribose in the presence of ferric salt. The degradation was substantially inhibited by iron-binding hydroxyl radical scavengers, iron chelators, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, suggesting a mechanism in which antipsoriatic anthrones generate hydroxyl radicals via the Fenton reaction or an iron-catalysed Haber-Weiss reaction. Butantrone was markedly less efficient at generating hydroxyl radicals than anthralin. Using bovine brain phospholipid liposomes as model membranes to study the effects of antipsoriatic anthrones on lipid peroxidation, the peroxidation of liposomal membranes in the presence of ferric salt was maximally enhanced by anthralin and butantrone at 12.5 and 5 microM, respectively. Higher concentrations of the drugs resulted in less peroxidation. Chain-breaking antioxidants and iron chelators strongly decreased anthralin-enhanced lipid peroxidation, suggesting the involvement of hydroxyl, peroxyl or alkoxyl radicals. In contrast to their stimulatory effects on liposomal membrane peroxidation, both anthralin and butantrone diminished Fe3+/ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation in liposomes. Butantrone was more effective as an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation than was anthralin. The antioxidant properties of antipsoriatic anthrones were determined in terms of their reactivities with the stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Antioxidant activity of antipsoriatic anthrones requires the presence of free hydroxyl groups at C-1 and C-8 and at least one hydrogen atom at C-10 of the anthrone nucleus. The role of active oxygen species produced by antipsoriatic anthrones and the biological effects on cellular targets are discussed with respect to the mode of action and manifestation of side effects of these drugs.

Abstract
During cardiopulmonary bypass surgery blood is extracorporeally oxygenated and circulated before returning to the systemic arterial circulation. Blood undergoing extracorporeal dilution and circulation is exposed to non-physiological surfaces, which cause the activation of several regulatory cascades. Cells are also subjected to damaging shear stresses. Under such conditions neutrophils can be 'activated' to release reactive oxygen intermediates such as O2- and H2O2, and other cells can release proteolytic enzymes and metalloproteins. Collectively, these events can result in the release of micromolar quantities of redox active iron and copper. Bleomycin-detectable iron and phenanthroline-detectable copper were found in two out of four mock bypass experiments. However, there was no correlation between the presence of chelatable iron and copper and the activation of neutrophils measured as elastase.

Abstract
The anticancer drug tamoxifen inhibits lipid peroxidation in ox-brain phospholipid liposomes, and is a good antiyeast agent, with clinical potential. We now report that the ergosterol-containing lipid fraction derived from yeast microsomal membranes (and the ergosterol separated from it) inhibited lipid peroxidation when introduced into ox-brain phospholipid liposomes. Inhibition of lipid peroxidation by the lipid fraction was greatly enhanced when yeast cell growth was inhibited with tamoxifen prior to lipid extraction. The ability of tamoxifen to enhance the membrane antioxidant ability of ergosterol is expressed in terms of a tamoxifen enhancement coefficient. Enhancement by tamoxifen of the membrane antioxidant action of ergosterol is discussed in relation to the antifungal and anticancer actions of tamoxifen.

Abstract
Tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen were both good inhibitors of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation in rat cardiac microsomes. Tamoxifen was also a good inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in liposomes prepared from the phospholipid obtained from rat liver microsomes. In a modified rat liver microsomal system containing a sufficiently low amount of peroxidizable phospholipid to make it comparable with the rat cardiac microsomal system, tamoxifen and 4-hydroxytamoxifen were of similar effectiveness as in the cardiac system. Tamoxifen is known to lower serum cholesterol levels, and the findings reported here indicate that the drug might also protect heart cell membranes against peroxidative damage. Potential cardioprotective and antiatherosclerotic benefits of tamoxifen are discussed in relation to the drug's use in cancer prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Normal human plasma contains numerous high and low molecular mass redox active molecules that are able to react rapidly with organic and inorganic oxygen radicals. The ability of such plasma molecules to substantially inhibit, or delay, free radical mediated oxidation of added substrates has led to their classification as important biological antioxidants. Using phospholipids to detect organic oxygen radicals, and deoxyribose to detect inorganic oxygen radicals, we here show that the primary antioxidants of normal human plasma reside mainly in two plasma proteins representing no more than 4% of the total proteins present. The iron-binding properties of transferrin and the iron-oxidising properties of caeruloplasmin, at a reaction dilution of 1:50, offer considerable protection against organic and inorganic oxygen radicals generated by iron and ascorbate. Plasma thiol group-containing molecules, at concentrations well below those that would be required to compete with the detector molecule (based on known second order rate constants for reaction with hydroxyl radicals) inhibited damage to deoxyribose, but stimulated damage to phospholipids.

Abstract
Droloxifene (3-hydroxytamoxifen), is a triphenylethylene derivative recently developed for the treatment of breast cancer. Droloxifene was found to exhibit a membrane antioxidant ability in that it inhibited Fe(III)-ascorbate dependent lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes and ox-brain phospholipid liposomes. It also inhibited microsomal lipid peroxidation induced by Fe(III)-ADP/NADPH. Droloxifene was a better inhibitor of lipid peroxidation than tamoxifen, but was less effective than 17 beta-oestradiol in the two microsomal systems and in the preformed liposomal system. When introduced into ox-brain phospholipid liposomes, droloxifene inhibited Fe(III)-ascorbate induced lipid peroxidation to approximately the same extent as similarly introduced cholesterol and tamoxifen, although to a lesser extent than 17 beta-oestradiol. This inhibition of lipid peroxidation by droloxifene may result from a membrane stabilization that could be associated in cancer cells with decreased plasma membrane fluidity. This mechanism may be related to the clinically important antiproliferative action of droloxifene on cancer cells.

Abstract
The oxidations of methyl linoleate micelles in aqueous dispersions induced by copper and iron have been studied, aiming specifically at elucidating the action of the copper ion in the chain initiation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) were used as anionic and cationic surfactants, respectively, in order to see the effect of the electric charge of the micelle surface. Both copper and iron induced the oxidations of methyl linoleate micelles by decomposing lipid hydroperoxide contained initially in methyl linoleate, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, or hydrogen peroxide added to the aqueous phase. The rate of oxidation induced by cupric ions was proportional to the first power of methyl linoleate concentration and to the half power of both cupric ion and hydroperoxide concentrations, suggesting that the oxidation was initiated by the peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals formed in the decomposition of hydroperoxide by copper. The formation of alkoxyl radicals was confirmed by its trapping with a spin trap. The rate of oxidation was dependent on the type of surfactant. Methyl linoleate containing a very small amount of hydroperoxide was oxidized by copper in the SDS system, but the rate of its oxidation was negligible when TTAB was used. However, the addition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide induced the oxidation even in the TTAB system. Hydroperoxyl and hydroxyl radicals formed in the SDS system induced the oxidation, but those formed in the TTAB system did not. It was shown that the effect of radicals on the initiation of lipid peroxidation depends on the type of radicals and site of radical formation.

Abstract
A wide variety of .OH detectors are in use for determination of biological .OH production. The chemical generation of .OH is site-specific with respect to the metal-binding site, and thus .OH detectors with metal-binding properties may affect the biological damage and bias .OH detection. The present study shows that both salicylate and phenylalanine, added as low molecular weight .OH indicators, decreased Cu(II) binding to erythrocyte ghosts. In a cell-free system, Cu(II) complexed to both salicylate and phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is a stronger Cu(II) chelator than salicylate, both when competing for Cu(II) bound to ghosts and when competing directly with each other. When OH radicals were generated by ascorbate and Cu(II), the amount of .OH detected as dihydroxybenzoates was proportional to the amount of .OH produced. However, when phenylalanine was added to this system, the efficiency of .OH detection by salicylate strongly decreased, concomitant with the transfer of Cu(II) binding from salicylate to the amino acid. This decrease was larger than that predicted by calculations for random competition of the two detectors for .OH. Deoxyribose and mannitol, which do not bind copper appreciably, competed poorly with salicylate for the .OH. Hydroxylation of phenylalanine, on the other hand, was only slightly affected by the presence of salicylate and unaffected by deoxyribose and mannitol. These results suggest that the detection of .OH by low molecular weight .OH indicators was related to the relative affinity of the detectors for the catalyzing metal, and thus partially site-specific. Furthermore, glutamate, which does not contain an aromatic ring but binds Cu(II) with considerable affinity, competed strongly with salicylate for the .OH, indicating that metal-binding properties rather than the presence of an aromatic ring were the cause of the deviation from random competition. The results indicate that .OH indicators with metal-binding properties affect the distribution of catalytic metal ions in a biological system, causing a shift of free radical damage and localizing a site-specific reaction of .OH on these detectors, with a resulting positive bias in the apparent .OH production.

Abstract
The azole antifungal drug ketoconazole was found to inhibit Fe(III)-ascorbate dependent lipid peroxidation using either rat liver microsomes or ox-brain phospholipid liposomes as the substrate. It also inhibited microsomal peroxidation induced by the Fe(III)-ADP/NADPH system. The related azoles, miconazole and clotrimazole, were much weaker inhibitors than ketoconazole. Ketoconazole was approximately equipotent with the triphenylethylene anticancer drug tamoxifen in the microsomal system and was almost as effective as 4-hydroxytamoxifen in the liposomal system. Ketoconazole introduced into phospholipid liposomes during their preparation inhibited Fe(III)-ascorbate induced lipid peroxidation to a greater extent than similarly introduced cholesterol, ergosterol or tamoxifen. Miconazole and clotrimazole were again poor inhibitors of lipid peroxidation in this system. These antioxidant effects of ketoconazole may be due to membrane stabilization in the systems used. The implications of our findings for the clinical applications of these drugs are discussed.

Abstract
The widely used thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay for oxidative damage to biomolecules fails in Cu2(+)-containing solutions due to the formation of a cloudy precipitate. The chelation of Cu2+ ions with EDTA or Chelex was investigated. Both prevented precipitate formation, but only Chelex allowed proper color development in the TBA assay. The Chelex modified assay could be adapted to a variety of systems, and was applied to the detection of Cu2+/ascorbate dependent deoxyribose breakdown and oxidative damage in erythrocyte ghosts, lysates and whole cells. Using this method, it was shown that Cu2+/ascorbate caused membrane damage in ghosts but not in whole red blood cells (RBC). Fe3+/ascorbate, on the other hand, caused formation of TBA-reactive products even in whole RBC. When Cu2+ and Fe3+ were presented to isolated hemoglobin as their 1:1 nitrilotriacetate complexes, the protein bound 10-12 cupric ions per molecule, but no ferric ions. It is suggested that oxidative damage catalyzed by copper or iron ions has different cellular targets, determined by the different binding properties of the two metals to various cellular components.

Abstract
Incubation of rat-liver microsomes, previously azide-treated to inhibit catalase, with H2O2 caused a loss of cytochrome P-450 but not of cytochrome b5. This loss of P-450 was not prevented by scavengers of hydroxyl radical, chain-breaking antioxidants or metal ion-chelating agents. Application of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay to the reaction mixture suggested that H2O2 induces lipid peroxidation, but this was found to be due largely or completely to an effect of H2O2 on the TBA assay. By contrast, addition of ascorbic acid and Fe(III) to the microsomes led to lipid peroxidation and P-450 degradation: both processes were inhibited by chelating agents and chain-breaking antioxidants, but not by hydroxyl radical scavengers. H2O2 inhibited ascorbate/Fe(III)-induced microsomal lipid peroxidation, but part of this effect was dues to an action of H2O2 in the TBA test itself. H2O2 also decreased the colour measured after carrying out the TBA test upon authentic malondialdehyde, tetraethoxypropane, a DNA-Cu2+/o-phenanthroline system in the presence of a reducing agent, ox-brain phospholipid liposomes in the presence of Fe(III) and ascorbate, or a bleomycin-ion iron/DNA/ascorbate system. Caution must be used in interpreting the results of TBA tests upon systems containing H2O2.

Abstract
Iron was released from ferritin by the catecholamine analog, 6-hydroxydopamine. Iron release was more efficient under nitrogen than in air, suggesting that the hydroquinone has the major role in the process. Superoxide dismutase, alone or in combination with catalase, strongly inhibited 6-hydroxydopamine oxidation and greatly enhanced the amount of ferritin iron release. Catalase alone had a similar, but lesser effect. Iron released from ferritin accelerated the autoxidation of 6-hydroxydopamine. This occurred by a mechanism that was inhibited by a combination of catalase and a chelator, and to a lesser extent by superoxide dismutase. 6-Hydroxydopamine was a good promoter of metal-catalysed lipid peroxidation, and ferritin-iron participated in the process. Superoxide dismutase, and to a lesser extent catalase, stimulated peroxidation catalysed by adventitious levels of iron, but in the presence of ferritin, each enzyme was inhibitory. It appears that the greatly enhanced iron release seen under these conditions accelerated the autoxidation of 6-hydroxydopamine so that less was available to participate in peroxidative reactions. However, when 6-hydroxydopamine autoxidation was prevented by a combination of superoxide dismutase and catalase, lipid peroxidation was also inhibited, suggesting that some intermediate of autoxidation is a further requirement for the process.

Abstract
Release of iron from ferritin by the polyhydroxypyrimidines, dialuric acid, isouramil, divicine, and acid-hydrolyzed vicine, was measured. Iron was released at fast initial rates which gradually declined to zero in 10 min. All the compounds were better reductants for ferritin-iron under nitrogen than in air. The effects of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione on both initial rates and total iron released over 30 min in air were determined. Major effects were inhibition by superoxide dismutase for divicine and isouramil and enhancement for dialuric acid and acid-hydrolyzed vicine. Glutathione promoted increased iron release that was further enhanced by superoxide dismutase. These increases were particularly striking over the longer time period. Catalase, in all cases, gave modest enhancement. Enhanced iron release correlated with inhibition of pyrimidine oxidation. The results indicate that the reduced form of each pyrimidine releases ferritin iron directly, and the effects of the antioxidants are mainly to maintain or regenerate the reduced pyrimidines. A combination of each pyrimidine and ferritin caused peroxidation of phopholipid liposomes, above that seen with the pyrimidines and adventitious iron. Glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase modulated lipid peroxidation in a way consistent with their effects being mainly on ferritin-iron release. On the basis of our findings, we propose that the release and subsequent reactions of ferritin-iron may contribute to the toxicity of these compounds. Although glutathione and superoxide dismutase together efficiently inhibit redox cycling and H2O2 production from the pyrimidines, this combination maximized iron release from ferritin and ferritin-dependent lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
When Fe2+ ions are added to rat-liver microsomes, lipid peroxidation begins after a short lag period. Fe2+-dependent peroxidation in the first few minutes of the incubation can be increased by adding Fe3+, ascorbic acid or Pb2+ ions; these stimulations are not additive. By contrast, Pb2+ ions inhibit peroxidation of microsomes in the presence of Fe3+/ascorbate or Fe3+-ADP/NADPH. In liposomes made from ox-brain phospholipids, Fe2+-dependent peroxidation is stimulated slightly by Fe3+, but much more so by ascorbic acid, Al3+ or Pb2+; these stimulations are not additive. Liposomal peroxidation in the presence of Fe3+/ascorbate is inhibited by Pb2+ or Al3+. These results argue against the participation of an Fe2+-Fe3+-O2 complex, or a critical 1:1 ratio of Fe2+ to Fe3+, in the initiation of lipid peroxidation in liposomes and rat-liver microsomes.

Abstract
By the use of gel filtration and [59Fe]ferritin, apotransferrin and apolactoferrin were shown to take up iron released from ferritin by superoxide generated by hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase. Apotransferrin also inhibited uptake of released iron by ferrozine. Ferritin and the xanthine oxidase system induced lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposomes. This peroxidation was inhibited by apotransferrin or apolactoferrin. Thus, although superoxide and other free radicals can release iron from ferritin, either iron-binding protein, if present, should take up this iron and prevent its catalysing subsequent oxidative reactions.

Abstract
Haem (ferrous protoporphyrin IX) is a reactive low-molecular-mass form of iron able to participate in oxygen-radical reactions that can lead to the degradation of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and DNA. Oxygen-radical reactions are likely to occur upon tissue damage. Extracellular fluids rely on antioxidant mechanisms different from those found inside the cell, and circulating proteins limit radical reactions by converting pro-oxidant forms of iron into less-reactive forms. Of the compounds tested, only apohaemopexin and the chain-breaking antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene inhibited (by more than 90%) haemin-stimulated peroxidation as measured by formation of conjugated dienes, thiobarbituric acid-reactive material from linolenic acid or peroxidation-induced phospholipid fluorescence. Haptoglobin, the haemoglobin-binding serum protein, was ineffective. Conversely, only haptoglobin significantly inhibited haemoglobin-stimulated lipid peroxidation. Iron-salt-induced lipid peroxidation was inhibited only by apotransferrin and the iron-chelator desferrioxamine. All lipid peroxidations were inhibited by the radical scavengers butylated hydroxytoluene and propyl gallate. These findings support the concept that transport and conservation of body iron stores are closely linked to antioxidant protection.

Abstract
Reduction of iron is important in promoting xenobiotic-enhanced, microsomal lipid peroxidation, yet there is little evidence that Fe3+ chelates that promote lipid peroxidation can be reduced by the microsomal system. We have shown that rat liver microsomes catalyse NADPH-dependent reduction of Fe3+ without chelator, as well as Fe3+(ADP), Fe3+(ATP), Fe3+(citrate), Fe3+(EDTA), and ferrioxamine in N2. The NADPH oxidation that accompanied Fe3+ reduction was inhibited by CO for all chelates, except Fe3+ (EDTA). This implies that, except for Fe3+ (EDTA), cytochrome P450 was involved in reduction of the complexes. Adriamycin, paraquat, and anthraquinone 2-sulfonate (AQS) enhanced reduction of all the Fe3+ chelates, whereas menadione enhanced reduction only of Fe3+(ADP) and Fe3+(citrate). All the compounds enhanced oxidation of NADPH in the presence or absence of iron. This was not inhibited by CO, and the results are compatible with Fe3+ reduction occurring via the xenobiotic radicals produced by cytochrome P450 reductase. Microsomal reduction of the xenobiotics, except menadione, enabled the reduction and release of iron from ferritin. Fe3+ chelate reduction, both with and without xenobiotic, was inhibited by O2, although it still proceeded in air at 10-20% of the rate in N2. Iron-dependent lipid peroxidation was promoted by ADP and ATP, inhibited 50% by citrate, and completely inhibited by EDTA and desferrioxamine. Of the xenobiotics, only Adriamycin enhanced microsomal lipid peroxidation. These results indicate that the effects of chelators and xenobiotics on Fe3+ reduction do not correlate with lipid peroxidation and, although reduction is necessary, there must be other factors involved.

Abstract
Lead (Pb2+) ions accelerate the lipid peroxidation observed when Fe2+ ions are added to phospholipid liposomes at pH 5.5 or pH 7.4, although Pb2+ ions alone do not induce any peroxidation. Similarly, aluminium (Al3+) ions increase Fe2+-dependent liposomal peroxidation at pH 5.5. Both Pb2+ and Al3+ accelerate the peroxidation of erythrocytes induced by high concentrations of H2O2 in the presence of azide, and they also increase the peroxidation that occurs when Fe2+ or Fe2+-ADP is added to rat liver microsomes at pH 7.4. It is proposed that increased lipid peroxidation may contribute to the toxic actions of Pb2+ in humans.

Abstract
Fe(II)- and Fe(III)-induced lipid peroxidation of rabbit small intestinal microvillus membrane vesicles was studied. Ferrous ammonium sulphate, ferrous ascorbate at a molar ratio of 10:1, and ferric citrate, at molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:20, did not stimulate lipid peroxidation. Ferrous ascorbate, 1:1, induced low stimulation, while ferrous ascorbate, 1:20 gave higher stimulation of lipid peroxidation. These results show that in our experimental system, ascorbate is a promotor rather than an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation. Ferric nitrilotriacetate (at molar ratios of 1:2 and 1:10), at an iron concentration of 200 microM, was by far the most effective in inducing lipid peroxidation. Superoxide dismutase, mannitol and glutathione had no effect, while catalase, thiourea and vitamin E markedly decreased ferrous ascorbate 1:20-induced lipid peroxidation. Ferric nitrilotriacetate-induced lipid peroxidation was slightly reduced by catalase and mannitol, significantly reduced by superoxide dismutase, and completely inhibited by thiourea. Glutathione caused a 100% increase in the ferric nitrilotriacetate-induced lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that Fe(II) in the presence of trace amounts of Fe(III), or an oxidizing agent and Fe(III) in the presence of Fe(II) or a reducing agent, are potent stimulators of lipid peroxidation of microvillus membrane vesicles. Addition of deferoxamine completely inhibited both ferrous ascorbate, 1:20 and ferric nitrilotriacetate-induced lipid peroxidation, demonstrating the requirement for iron for its stimulation. Iron-induced peroxidation of microvillus membrane may have physiological significance because it could already be demonstrated at 2 microM iron concentration.

Abstract
When exposed to xanthine oxidase (superoxide)-dependent, iron-promoted Fenton chemistry, purified cardiac membranes evidenced, by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) test, a virtually instantaneous peroxidative response with a maximal linear rate of 5.8 nmol malondialdehyde (MDA)-equivalents/mEquivalents lipid ester reacted/min. Yet when the lipids purified from these same membranes and reconstituted into liposomes were peroxidized under identical reaction conditions, the TBA test indicated that a pronounced (approximately 20-min) lag period preceded a maximal peroxidation rate of only 2.1 nmol MDA-equivalents/mEquivalents lipid ester reacted/min. After 120 min of peroxidation, the cardiac membranes yielded some 300 nmol TBA-reactive MDA-equivalents/mEquivalent ester, whereas the isolated membrane lipids evidenced approximately 40% less TBA-reactivity. To verify that these quantitative and kinetic differences in membrane (phospho)-lipid peroxidation occurred with removal of the lipids from their membrane milieu, the MDA produced during both cardiac membrane peroxidation and the peroxidation of the lipids derived therefrom was isolated as its free anion by ion-pair high-pressure liquid chromatography. As quantified spectrophotometrically, true MDA production during myocardial membrane peroxidation was identical in kinetics and in amount to the production of TBA-reactive substance from the peroxidized isolated membrane lipids. These results demonstrate that significant non-MDA, TBA-reactive species are generated during the peroxidation of cardiac membranes, especially before the maximal rates of bona fide MDA production. As a direct consequence, artifactual levels and kinetics of membrane lipid peroxidation do result.
