Abstract
UNLABELLED Incremental increases in the moisture content of powdered soy protein products from 4.4% to 13.4% produced an inverse effect on the ability of soy proteins to maintain metastable free radicals. The corresponding reduction in electron paramagnetic resonance signal was not due to dielectric loss in the range of moisture contents examined. Subsequent evaluations of various treatments were conducted after drying soy proteins with molecular sieve to a water activity below 0.085 in order to minimize the influence from variations in moisture. Isolated soy protein (ISP) samples, prepared with "defatted flour" that had been further extracted with chloroform/methanol (2: 1), had a 96% reduction in total lipids compared to the control ISP samples. The initial rate of radical accumulation in the "reduced-lipid" ISP for the first 3 wk was not significantly different from the initial rate of radical increases in the control ISP. After 3 wk, radical accumulation in the "reduced-lipid" ISP continued to increase, but at a rate that was less than the control. These findings indicate that the initial reactions contributing to the formation of metastable radicals in the powdered ISP are not strongly dependent on associated lipids. Blocking sulfhydryl groups during ISP preparation with N-ethylmaleimide did not significantly slow the rate of radical accumulation compared to the control ISP. Blocking arginine residues in ISP samples with phenylglyoxal caused an increased rate of radical accumulation for the first 4 wk. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Levels of metastable radicals in powdered soy protein products typically range from 10 to 100 times greater than the free radicals in other food protein sources. This current research examines various compositional and treatment parameters that might be used to minimize the content of free radicals in foods containing soy proteins.

Abstract
The anticancer anthracyclines, doxorubicin and daunorubicin, are highly cytotoxic to both cancer and normal cells. In this work, we have investigated the capacity of cellular myeloperoxidase to inactivate these agents. We show that incubation of human leukemia HL-60 cells with the anthracyclines in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and nitrite causes irreversible oxidation of the drugs, suggesting an extensive modification of their chromophores. Methimazole, 4-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide, or azide inhibits the reaction, suggesting that it is mediated by the cellular myeloperoxidase, an enzyme naturally present in large amounts in HL-60 cells. In contrast to the intact drugs, the oxidatively transformed anthracyclines were substantially less cytotoxic for HL-60 (assayed by apoptosis) and PC3 prostate cancer cells and H9c2 rat cardiac myoblasts in vitro (assayed by clonogenic survival), indicating that the oxidative metabolism of these agents leads to their inactivation. Using tandem mass spectrometry, we identified two specific metabolic products of the anthracycline degradation, 3-methoxyphthalic acid and 3-methoxysalicylic acid. These two metabolic products were obtained as authentic compounds and were nontoxic to HL-60 leukemic cells and cardiac myocytes. These findings may have important implications for the cellular pharmacology of anthracyclines and for clinical oncology.

Abstract
Oxidation of Amplex red (AR) by H(2)O(2) in the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) gives rise to an intensely colored product, resorufin. This reaction has been frequently employed for measurements of low concentrations of H(2)O(2) in biological samples. In the current study, we show that alternative peroxidase substrates, such as p-hydroquinone, acetaminophen, anticancer mitoxantrone, and ametantrone, inhibit AR oxidation by consuming H(2)O(2) in a competitive process. In contrast, the anthracycline agents doxorubicin, daunorubicin, and 5-iminodaunorubicin are markedly less efficient as competitors in these reactions, as is salicylic acid. When [H(2)O(2)]>[AR], the generated resorufin was oxidized by HRP and H(2)O(2). In the presence of anthracyclines, this process was inhibited and occurred with a lag time, the duration of which depended on the concentration of anthracycline. We propose that the mechanism of this inhibition is due to the antioxidant activity of anthracyclines involving the reduction of the resorufin-derived phenoxyl radical by the drugs' hydroquinone moiety back to resorufin. In addition to HRP, lactoperoxidase, myeloperoxidase, and HL-60 cells, naturally rich in myeloperoxidase, also supported these reactions. Results of this study suggest that extra caution is needed when using AR to measure cellular H(2)O(2) in the presence of alternative peroxidase substrates. They also demonstrate that the anticancer anthracyclines may function as antioxidants.

Abstract
Acetaminophen, a common analgesic and antipyretic drug, is frequently administered to individuals undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy. Here, the effect of acetaminophen on the metabolism of daunorubicin and doxorubicin by isolated enzymes lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase, and by myeloperoxidase-containing human leukemia HL-60 cells was investigated using spectrophotometric and EPR techniques. We report that at pharmacological concentrations acetaminophen strongly stimulates oxidation of the anthracyclines by lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase systems, which results in irreversibly altered (colorless) products. The initial rate and efficacy of daunorubicin oxidation depends on pH. While at pH approximately 7 the oxidation is rapid and extensive, almost no oxidation occurs at pH approximately 5. In the absence of daunorubicin, oxidation of acetaminophen by lactoperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide is only weakly dependent on pH, however, at pH 7.4 it strongly depends on [daunorubicin]. Ascorbate and reduced glutathione strongly inhibited oxidation of anthracyclines by lactoperoxidase and HL-60 systems. Using EPR, a daunorubicin-derived radical was detected in a daunorubicin/acetaminophen/peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide system as a narrow single line (0.175 mT) with g = 2.0047. When daunorubicin was omitted, only an acetaminophen-melanin EPR signal was detected (g = 2.0043, line width approximately 0.5 mT). Similar results were obtained with doxorubicin. We suggest that the stimulation by acetaminophen is primarily due to its preferential oxidation by peroxidases to the corresponding phenoxyl radical, which subsequently reacts with daunorubicin (doxorubicin). Because biological properties of oxidatively transformed anthracyclines will certainly be different from those of their parent compounds, the possible acetaminophen-enhanced degradation of the anthracyclines in vivo is likely to interfere with anticancer and/or cardiotoxic activities of these agents.

Abstract
Anthracycline antibiotics, including adriamycin (ADM), are widely used to treat various human cancers, but their clinical use has been limited because of their cardiotoxicity. ADM is especially toxic to heart tissue. The mechanisms responsible for the cardiotoxic effect of ADM have been very/extremely controversial. This review focuses on the participation of free radicals generated by ADM in the cardiotoxic effect. ADM is reduced to a semiquinone radical species by microsomal NADPH-P450 reductase and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase. In the presence of oxygen, the reductive semiquinone radical species produces superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Generally, lipid peroxidation proceeds by mediating the redox of iron. ADM extracts iron from ferritin to form ADM-Fe3+, which causes lipid peroxidation of membranes. These events may lead to disturbance of the membrane structure and dysfunction of mitochondria. However, superoxide dismutase and hydroxyl radical scavengers have little effect on lipid peroxidation induced by ADM-Fe3+. Alternatively, ADM is oxidatively activated by peroxidases to convert to an oxidative semiquinone radical, which participates in inactivation of mitochondrial enzymes or including succinate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. Here, we discuss the activation of ADM and the role of reductive and oxidative ADM semiquinone radicals in the cardiotoxic effect of this antibiotic.

Abstract
Although human cancers are widely treated with anthracycline drugs, these drugs have limited use because they are cardiotoxic. To clarify the cardiotoxic action of the anthracycline drug adriamycin (ADM), the inhibitory effect on succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) by ADM and other anthracyclines was examined by using pig heart submitochondrial particles. ADM rapidly inactivated mitochondrial SDH during its interaction with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of H(2)O(2) (HRP-H(2)O(2)). Butylated hydroxytoluene, iron-chelators, superoxide dismutase, mannitol and dimethylsulfoxide did not block the inactivation of SDH, indicating that lipid-derived radicals, iron-oxygen complexes, superoxide and hydroxyl radicals do not participate in SDH inactivation. Reduced glutathione was extremely efficient in blocking the enzyme inactivation, suggesting that the SH group in enzyme is very sensible to ADM activated by HRP-H(2)O(2). Under anaerobic conditions, ADM with HRP-H(2)O(2) caused inactivation of SDH, indicating that oxidized ADM directly attack the enzyme, which loses its activity. Other mitochondrial enzymes, including NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase and cytochrome c oxidase, were little sensitive to ADM with HRP-H(2)O(2). SDH was also sensitive to other anthracycline drugs except for aclarubicin. Mitochondrial creatine kinase (CK), which is attached to the outer face of the inner membrane of muscle mitochondria, was more sensitive to anthracyclines than SDH. SDH and CK were inactivated with loss of red color of anthracycline, indicating that oxidative activation of the B ring of anthracycline has a crucial role in inactivation of enzymes. Presumably, oxidative semiquinone or quinone produced from anthracyclines participates in the enzyme inactivation.

Abstract
The importance of American trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease) in human pathology is widely known. The prognosis of this disease is poor and the choice of effective medicines limited, thus study of new drugs is absolutely necessary. In this work, the activities of three new pyrazolylnaphthoquinones, heterocyclic naphthoquinones bearing 3-aminopyrazole rings, were evaluated on Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease. These activities were compared with those of three 5-aminoisoxazole analogues. In addition, since these compounds belong to a family of antiprotozoal and cytotoxic/antitumor agents, the activities of all six against Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, and murine L-6 cells were also investigated. In the biological tests, five of the compounds showed significant in vitro trypanocidal activities against T. cruzi, with activities similar to that of benznidazole. Two of the 5-aminoisoxazole analogues also showed good activities, in one case highly selective, against the K1 and NF54 strains of P. falciparum (IC(50)<0.12 microg mL(-1)). Three of the compounds were cytotoxic to murine L-6 cells (IC(50)=0.21-0.50 microg mL(-1)). The results suggested that the three pyrazolylnaphthoquinones and one of the 5-aminoisoxazole analogues could be starting points for lead optimization programs against T. cruzi and P. falciparum, respectively.

Abstract
Oxidative damage of creatine kinase (CK) induced by Adriamycin((R)) (ADM) with peroxidase was investigated using horseradish peroxidase (HRP). ADM oxidatively inactivated CK during its interaction with HRP in the presence of H(2)O(2) (HRP-H(2)O(2)). The red color of ADM was lost during oxidation by HRP-H(2)O(2). Adding catalase stopped the color change of ADM induced by HRP-H(2)O(2), indicating that ADM was oxidized by HRP complex I or II. CK was inactivated readily, even when it was added to the reaction mixture containing colorless ADM. Some sulfhydryl groups of CK, which have an important role in its enzyme activity, were very sensitive to ADM activated by HRP-H(2)O(2), suggesting that inactivation of CK is due to oxidation of SH groups at the active center. Presumably, oxidative ADM quinone is involved dominantly in the inactivation of CK. Among the anthracycline drugs tested in this study, only ADM and epirubicin caused inactivation of CK and alcohol dehydrogenase and loss of the red color during oxidation by HRP-H(2)O(2).
