Improved Methods for the Rapid Formation and Prevention of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) In Vitro by Coupling to the Hypoxanthine/Xanthine Oxidase Assay System. Biomedicines 2018; 6:biomedicines6030088. [PMID: 30111701 PMCID: PMC6164639 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines6030088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2018] [Revised: 08/08/2018] [Accepted: 08/10/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) represent a set of molecules that contribute directly to the initiation and aggravation of diseases associated with ageing. AGEs are produced by the reaction between reducing sugars (or α-dicarbonyl compounds), proteins, and amino acid residues. Previous in vitro methods using non-enzymatic procedures described in the literature require an incubation period of 1–3 weeks to generate AGEs. In this study, the reaction time for the formation of AGEs (48 and 3 h) was significantly reduced by adaptation of methods previously described in the literature and coupling them to the free radical generation system termed hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase assay. The incorporation of this assay into the experimental system accelerated the production of AGEs as a result of the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as shown by increased fluorescence. The capacity of different classes of chemical compounds (aminoguanidine, chlorogenic acid, rutin, and methanol extracts of Hancornia speciosa Gomes) to inhibit protein glycation by acting as scavenging agents of α-dicarbonyl species was evaluated. Aminoguanidine and, especially, rutin identified in the leaf extracts of H. speciosa Gomes showed a high capacity to act as scavengers of reactive carbonyl species RCS-trapping, resulting in the inhibition of AGEs formation.

Abstract
The safety assessment of a flavour substance examines several factors, including metabolic and physiological disposition data. The present article provides an overview of the metabolism and disposition of flavour substances by identifying general applicable principles of metabolism to illustrate how information on metabolic fate is taken into account in their safety evaluation. The metabolism of the majority of flavour substances involves a series both of enzymatic and non-enzymatic biotransformation that often results in products that are more hydrophilic and more readily excretable than their precursors. Flavours can undergo metabolic reactions, such as oxidation, reduction, or hydrolysis that alter a functional group relative to the parent compound. The altered functional group may serve as a reaction site for a subsequent metabolic transformation. Metabolic intermediates undergo conjugation with an endogenous agent such as glucuronic acid, sulphate, glutathione, amino acids, or acetate. Such conjugates are typically readily excreted through the kidneys and liver. This paper summarizes the types of metabolic reactions that have been documented for flavour substances that are added to the human food chain, the methodologies available for metabolic studies, and the factors that affect the metabolic fate of a flavour substance.

Abstract
It is well established that a wide range of reductones is formed in the course of the Maillard reaction and that these substances contribute to the oxidative stability of food. The aim of this study was to analyze 12 important heterocyclic intermediates with and without reductone structure as well as structurally related substances under equal conditions to compare their antioxidant properties in detail. For this purpose, five methods were selected including photometrical methods such as the trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity assay and an electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic method. Reductones with furan-3-one structure and 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one were reducing in all assays, whereas isomaltol and maltol did not react in assays based on the reduction of metal ions because of their complexing abilities. The introduction of protecting groups to the free hydroxyl functions of selected reductones could nearly eliminate their reducing abilities. In addition, the oxidation products of the different reductive heterocycles were compared after treatment with iodine. Mainly short-chained organic acids such as lactic, glycolic, and glyceric acid are formed as result of the degradation, which indicates 1,3-dicarbonyl cleavage reactions of corresponding tricarbonyl compounds as intermediates of the oxidation.

Abstract
The presence of Maillard reaction products (MRP) in foods and food components is due to the non-enzymatic reaction between protein and carbohydrate residues triggered by thermal steps during food processing. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of MRPs and increasing lysine concentrations on S. Typhimurium growth and the expression of cadA which may be an indirect determinant of Salmonella virulence response. Variations in lysine concentrations (from 0 to 0.5 mM) did not exert any effect either on the final optical density after 6-hour incubation or the growth rates of S. Typhimurium in media containing MRPs. In contrast to the reduced final absorbancy of the bacterial cultures grown with histidine and arginine MRPs supplementations (0.1%), growth rates, in general, remained unaltered by all MRPs at each lysine concentration when compared to the control (M9 pH 5.8, no MRPs added). The induction levels of cadA in media containing 0.1% MRPs were close to cadA induction in the reference media (M9, pH 5.8 and no MRPs) and did not exceed the corresponding values by more than approximately 30%. Although the observed negligible induction of cadA under these conditions complies with the concept of its potential "anti-virulence" function, additional studies involving various concentrations and more refined MRPs are needed.

Food Chem Toxicol 2007; 45:1258-62. [PMID: 17316945 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2007.01.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2005] [Revised: 08/29/2006] [Accepted: 01/11/2007] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Prooxidant properties of furanone compounds including 2,5-furanone (furaneol, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-furan-3-one), 4,5-furanone (4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone) (sotolone) and cyclotene (2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one) were analyzed in relation to the metal-reducing activity. Only 2.5-furanone known as a "strawberry or pineapple furanone" inactivated aconitase the most sensitive enzyme to active oxygen in the presence of ferrous sulfate, suggesting the furaneol/iron-mediated generation of reactive oxygen species. 2,5-Furanone caused strand scission of pBR322 DNA in the presence of copper. Treatment of calf thymus DNA with 2,5-furanone plus copper produced 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in DNA. 2,5-Furanone showed a potent copper-reducing activity, and thus, DNA strand breaks and the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine by 2,5-furanone can be initiated by the production of superoxide radical through the reduction of cupric ion to cuprous ion, resulting in the conversion to hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical. However, an isomer and analog of 2,5-furanone, 4,5-furanone and cyclotene, respectively, did not show an inactivation of aconitase, DNA injuries including strand breakage and the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, and copper-reducing activity. Cytotoxic effect of 2,5-furanone with hydroxyketone structure can be explained by its prooxidant properties: furaneol/transition metal complex generates reactive oxygen species causing the inactivation of aconitase and the formation of DNA base damage by hydroxyl radical.

Abstract
It was found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated in the interactions of nitric oxide (NO) with glutathione (GSH) or cysteine (CySH) under aerobic conditions. When supercoiled DNA was incubated with a mixture of NO/GSH, NO/CySH, NOC-7 (a NO donor)/GSH or NOC-7/CySH under aerobic conditions, DNA single-strand breaks were observed on agarose gel electrophoresis. The strand breaks were inhibited by common ROS scavengers: superoxide dismutase+catalase, the spin trapping agent 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N oxide (DMPO), ethanol, and EDTA. The strand breaks were also caused by incubation with a mixture of S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) with GSH or CySH, which was inhibited by ROS scavengers. In the reaction of NO/GSH, GSNO rapidly formed and then gradually decreased, and in the reaction of GSNO/GSH, GSNO was gradually decreased. The decrease inf GSNO was accelerated in the presence of superoxide+catalase. Hydroxyl radical was detected in the mixtures of NO with GSH or CySH under aerobic conditions, and thiyl radicals were detected in the mixtures of GSNO with GSH or CySH under anaerobic conditions as examined in electron spin resonance studies using DMPO as a spin trap. The results indicate that the interaction of NO with thiols in the presence of O2 generates ROS that caused DNA single-strand breaks.

Abstract
The results of the present study have shown that unoxidized linoleic acid (LA) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) suppressed free radical-induced supercoiled plasmid DNA strand breaks. Unoxidized LA suppressed DNA strand breaks induced by free radicals generated from hydrogen peroxide/Fe(II) ion, 2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)hydrochloride (AAPH), and 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzene diazonium salt. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of LA were increased on treatment with the radical generators. The intensities of the electron spin resonance (ESR) signals of the spin adducts of the radicals were reduced by unoxidized LA. Although LA hydroperoxide caused DNA strand breaks as has already been shown, its strand breaking activity was observed only at the higher concentrations. Unoxidized LDL inhibited ascorbic acid/Cu(II) ion-, ascorbic acid/Fe(II) ion-, peroxynitrite- and AAPH-induced DNA strand breaks. The TBARS of LDL were increased by treatment with the agents. LDL oxidized with Cu(II) ion did not cause DNA strand breaks. The results indicate that the potency of the free radicals to cause DNA strand breaks was attenuated by the fatty acid and the lipoprotein through lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
The effect of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) on induced DNA damage in human lymphocytes was investigated using single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay). Three MRPs, Xyl-Lys MRP, Glu-Lys MRP, and Fru-Lys MRP, were prepared by heating lysine with xylose, glucose, and fructose, respectively, at pH 9.0 and 100 degrees C for 3 h and called undialyzed MRPs. The prepared MRPs were further dialyzed, and three undialyzable MRPs were obtained. The undialyzed MRPs caused significant (p < 0.05) DNA damage in human lymphocytes at a concentration of 0.05-0.1 mg/mL by the comet assay. Compared with the control, the undialyzable Xyl-Lys MRP and Glu-Lys MRP caused significant DNA damage in human lymphocytes at a concentration >0.1 mg/mL, whereas Fru-Lys MRP did so at a concentration >0.2 mg/mL. Moreover, undialyzed MRPs caused less DNA damage than did undialyzable MRPs. The undialyzable MRPs did not affect the activity of glutathione peroxidase or lipid peroxidation in human lymphocytes at a concentration of 0.05-0.8 mg/mL. However, these three undialyzable MRPs decreased the glutathione (GSH) contents and the activities of GSH reductase and catalase in human lymphocytes. On the basis of the results of the formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, radicals, and hydrogen peroxide, the radicals might play an important role in the DNA damage in human lymphocytes induced by these MRPs in this reaction system.

Abstract
The effect of long-term supplementation of food reductones, 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (DMHF) (2%, w/w), detected in many foodstuffs including soy sauce, and hydroxyhydroquinone (1,2,4-benzenetriol) (HHQ) (1.2%, w/w), detected in coffee, on mouse lipid peroxidation and type IV and I allergy responses was investigated. The effect of supplementation of these reductones combined with NO(2) inhalation (5-6 ppm) was also investigated. Levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances in lung were remarkably increased, and those in kidney and liver were slightly decreased by supplementation of DMHF or HHQ. The degree of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB)-sensitized lymph node cell proliferation as assessed by lymph node assay was remarkably enhanced by supplementation of DMHF or HHQ. Both the DNCB-sensitized and the trimellitic anhydride-sensitized increases in IgE levels of mice were enhanced to greater extent by supplementation of DMHF or HHQ. In no cases were additive effects of NO(2) inhalation observable. Allergen-sensitized type IV and I allergy responses of mice may be enhanced by supplementation of food reductones, DMHF or HHQ.

Abstract
Our previous study reported that advanced glycation end-products (AGE)-modified BSA produced active oxygen species, *O2-, H2O2, and *OH under UVA irradiation and enhanced the cytotoxicity of UVA light. We examined whether pentosidine in AGE-modified BSA was involved in one of the mechanisms generating the active oxygen species. In biological investigations, fibroblasts exposed to UVA (20 J/cm2) in the presence of pentosidine-rich compounds (PRCs), which were prepared with L-arginine, L-lysine and glucose, showed a time-dependent leakage of the cytosolic enzyme LDH. In addition, release of LDH was suppressed by addition of DMSO and deferoxamine under UVA irradiation. From these results, it was determined that PRCs exposed to UVA damaged the plasma membrane of human dermal fibroblasts due to the conversion of *OH from H2O2 via a Fenton-like reaction. These features of PRCs exposed to UVA were consistent with those of AGE-modified BSA. In an ESR study, PRCs under UVA irradiation yielded DMPO-OH (DMPO-OH adduct) using DMPO as a spin-trapping reagent. *O2- generation from UVA-irradiated PRCs was also indicated by the combination of NBT reduction and SOD. When PRCs were exposed to UVA light controlled with a long-pass filter, WG-360, it was found that their production of *O2- was prohibited less than 50% in the NBT reduction assay. The *O2- production profile of PRCs depending on the wavelength of UVA light was similar to that of AGE-modified BSA. Furthermore, it was found that the H2O2 level was increased by PRCs exposed to UVA. These results indicated that pentosidine is an important factor of AGE-modified BSA in active oxygen generation under UVA irradiation.

Abstract
The formation of mutagens after the heating of sugar-casein model systems at 120 degrees C was examined by the Ames test, using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100. Several sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose, tagatose, lactose, and lactulose) were compared in their mutagenicities. Mutagenicity could be fully ascribed to Maillard reaction products and strongly varied with the kind of sugar. The differences in mutagenicity among the sugar-casein systems were caused by a difference in reaction rate and a difference in reaction mechanism. Sugars with a comparable reaction mechanism (glucose and galactose) showed a higher mutagenic activity corresponding with a higher Maillard reactivity. Disaccharides showed no mutagenic activity (lactose) or a lower mutagenic activity (lactulose) than their corresponding monosaccharides. Ketose sugars (fructose and tagatose) showed a remarkably higher mutagenicity compared with their aldose isomers (glucose and galactose), which was due to a difference in reaction mechanism.

Abstract
We investigated the photodynamic DNA strand-breaking activity of TiO(2). A solution of super-coiled pBR 322 DNA was irradiated with 5 J/cm(2) of UVA in the presence of TiO(2) and the products were analyzed by using gel electrophoresis. The ratio of open-circular DNA to super-coiled circular DNA was calculated from the resulting peak areas as a DNA strand-breaking index (SBI). The SBI of anatase-structure TiO(2) (band gap=3.23 eV) was greater than that of rutile structure (band gap=3.06 eV), and the level of SBI correlated with the photocatalytic activity for degradation of 2-propanol. The inhibitory effects of active oxygen scavengers, including DMSO, glutathione and histidine, on the DNA strand-breaking activity were examined. All of the scavengers except ascorbic acid showed inhibitory effects, as did several polyhydric alcohols including mannitol, a well-known hydroxyl radical scavenger. These results suggest that the photodynamic DNA strand-breaking activity of TiO(2) is due to active oxygen species, especially hydroxyl radicals. Polyhydric alcohols showed an inverse correlation between the inhibitory effect on DNA strand-breaking activity and the octanol/water partition coefficient (logP).

Abstract
One of the possible pathways of the formation of mutagens in heated foods is through the pyrazine cation radical generated in the early stage of the Maillard reaction. The aim of the present study was to elucidate how food reductones contribute to the pyrazine cation radical generation in the reaction of glucose (Glc) and glycine (Gly), and to the formation of the mutagens in the reaction of Glc, Gly and creatinine. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies showed that fragrant reductones, 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (DMHF) and 4-hydroxy-2(or 5)-ethyl-5(or 2)-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HEMF), generated in the Maillard reactions, enhanced the generation of the pyrazine cation radical in the reaction of Glc and Gly, and the reaction of DMHF or HEMF with Gly generated a larger amount of the pyrazine cation radical than the reaction of Glc and Gly, indicating that the furanones were intermediates of the pyrazine cation radical. By contrast, food antioxidants, ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid, effectively scavenged the pyrazine cation radical generated in the reaction of Glc and Gly. DMHF and HEMF were not effective to modulate the mutagen formation in the reaction of Glc, Gly and creatinine, and the mutagenicity produced in the reaction of DMHF or HEMF, Gly and creatinine was lower than that produced in the reaction of Glc, Gly and creatinine. On the other hand, ascorbic acid and erythorbic acid were effective to decrease the mutagen formation in the reaction of Glc, Gly and creatinine.

Abstract
N(2)-(1-Carboxyethyl)deoxyguanosine (CEdG) is a major nonenzymatic glycation product of DNA. The effect of CEdG modification, which was specifically prepared by incubation with dihydroxyacetone, on plasmid DNA topology was evaluated by gel electrophoresis. A time-dependent decrease of supercoiled plasmid-DNA was observed in parallel to the increase of CEdG adducts; the half-life time of the supercoiled plasmid-DNA was estimated to be approximately 16-18 h. CEdG-modified plasmid DNA showed a 25-fold reduced transformation efficiency. When modified DNA was used to transform Escherichia coli cells, a 6-fold increase in mutation frequency was determined by measuring loss of alpha-complementation. For the mutator strain BMH71-18mutS, an 8-fold increase in mutation frequency was observed. Although the exact mechanism of DNA damage is unclear, the occurrence of spontaneous depurination is likely. These findings suggest that a defined DNA glycation reaction can lead to DNA damage in vivo.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) have been reported to be accumulated in dermal skin. However, the role of AGEs in the photoaging of human skin remains unknown, and for this reason, we have examined the interaction between AGEs and ultraviolet A light (UVA) from both the chemical and biological aspects. Previously, we reported that exposing human dermal fibroblasts to UVA in the presence of AGEs that were prepared with bovine serum albumin (BSA) decreased the cell viability due to superoxide anion radical s (.O2(-)) and hydroxyl radicals (.OH) generated by AGEs under UVA irradiation, and active oxygen species are detected with ESR spin-trapping. To identify the active oxygen species in detail and to clarify the cell damaging mechanism, we performed several experiments and the following results were obtained. (1) In ESR spin-trapping, by addition of dimethyl sulfoxide and superoxide dismutase, ESR signals due to .O2(-) -derived DMPO-OOH and .OH-derived DMPO-OH adducts, respectively, were detectable. (2) UVA-irradiated AGEs elevated the lipid peroxide levels in both fibroblasts and liposomes. But the peroxidation in liposomes was inhibited by addition of deferoxamine. (3) Survival of fibroblasts exposed to UVA in the presence of AGEs was elevated by addition of deferoxamine. And finally, (4) survival of fibroblasts was found to be regulated by the level of H2O2. On the basis of these results, we propose a possible mechanism in which AGEs under UVA irradiation generate active oxygen species involving .O2(-), H2O2, and .OH, and the .OH species plays a harmful role in promoting cell damage.

Abstract
A component in instant coffee that caused DNA single strand breaks was isolated by successive ethyl acetate:ethanol extraction, silica gel column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography using a reversed phase column. The active component was identified as hydroxyhydroquinone (HHQ). Incubation of supercoiled pBR 322 DNA with HHQ at 0.1 mM in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37 degreesC for 1 h caused single strand breaks, and reactive oxygen species, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical, were involved in DNA breaking by HHQ. Genotoxic effects of HHQ including DNA breaking activity through generation of reactive oxygen species have been well-demonstrated because the component is considered to be an important genotoxic intermediate metabolite of benzene. Occurrence of HHQ in coffee must have an important significance to consider genotoxicity of coffee.

Abstract
Fragrant hydroxyfuranone and dihydroxypyranone derivatives generated in the Maillard reaction of sugars and amino acids are detected in various processed foods and have been shown active to break DNA single-strand in the in vitro studies. In the present study, absorption of 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2 H)-furanone (DMHF) and 4-hydroxy-2(or 5)-ethyl-5(or 2)-methyl-3(2 H)-furanone (HEMF), both found in soy sauce, into plasma after a single intraperitoneal or oral administration at doses of 0.5-1.0 gkg-1 to mice was examined. Both compounds appeared in plasma 15 min after intraperitoneal administration and disappeared 2 h after the administration. They appeared in plasma 5 min after oral administration, reached maximum after 15-45 min, and gradually disappeared after 2 h, indicating that they are absorbed by the digestive tract. Both DMHF and HEMF induced micronucleated reticulocytes (MNRETs) in mouse peripheral blood in a dose-dependent manner after oral administration. The results indicate that DMHF and HEMF can cause genetic damage after oral administration.

Abstract
Components with DNA breaking activity in soy sauce were investigated. It was found that there were water soluble high molecular weight DNA breaking components in soy sauce. Two DNA breaking components in the ethyl acetate extract of soy sauce were identified as fragrant components, 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (DMHF) and 4-hydroxy-2(or 5)-ethyl-5(or 2)-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HEMF), in addition to the previously characterized DNA breaking fragrant component 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HMF) (Hiramoto et al., 1996b). Characterization of DNA breaking activity of HEMF was performed, and the mechanisms for the breaking were considered. HEMF cleaved the single strands of supercoiled pBR 322 DNA at pH 7.4 dose dependently and time dependently. DNA breaking was inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, hydroxyl radical scavengers, spin trapping agents and metal chelators, and enhanced by Fe(III) ion. Electron spin resonance-spin trapping technique revealed the generation of hydroxyl radical. Hence, active oxygen species derived from interaction of HEMF with metal ions and oxygen participated in the cleavage. HEMF exhibited mutagenicity to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 without metabolic activation and induced micronucleated mouse peripheral reticulocytes.

Abstract
2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (2,5-DMHF), a caramel-like fragrant compound found in may processed foodstuff, has been reported to be mutagenic. 4,5-Dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (4,5-DMHF), which is a similar characteristic fragrant compound, has no report concerning its mutagenicity. DNA damage by 2,5-DMHF and 4,5-DMHF was investigated by using DNA fragments obtained from the p53 tumor suppressor gene. 2,5-DMHF induced DNA damage extensively in the presence of Cu(II), but only slightly in the presence of Fe(III). 4,5-DMHF did not cause metal-dependent DNA damage. Bathocuproine, a Cu(I)-specific chelator, and catalase inhibited DNA damage induced by 2,5-DMHF plus Cu(II), whereas free hydroxyl radical scavengers did not. The order of DNA cleavage sites was thymine, cytosine > guanine residues. The site-specific DNA damage and effects of scavengers show that DNA-copper-oxygen complex rather than free .OH are involved in the DNA damage. Formation of 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) by 2,5-DMHF increased with its concentration in the presence of Cu(II), whereas 8-oxodG formation increased only slightly in the presence of Fe(III). Degradation of 2,5-DMHF was efficiently accelerated by Cu(II), but only slightly accelerated by Fe(III). The degradation of 4,5-DMHF was little even in the presence of metal ions. Examination using cytochrome c suggest that superoxide was generated from 2,5-DMHF. Stoichiometric study of Cu(II) reduction revealed that autoxidation of 2,5-DMHF could offer 4-electron reduction. These results suggest that, at least in vitro and in an acellular system, 2,5-DMHF generates superoxide and subsequently hydrogen peroxide to induce metal-dependent DNA damage.

Abstract
Aqueous solution of glucose and glycine was heated under reflux for 4 h and extracted with ethyl acetate. Reversed phase HPLC of the extract revealed a new DNA strand-breaking substance, which was purified by repeated HPLC and identified as 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one (DDMP). DDMP induced DNA strand breaking in a dose- and time-dependent manner. It was active to break DNA strands at pH 7.4 and 9.4. Its pyranone skeleton was destroyed at the pH values. DNA strand breaking by DDMP was inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, scavengers for hydroxyl radical, spin trapping agents and metal chelators, and the breaking was enhanced by Fe(III) ion. A mixture of DDMP and a spin trap DMPO gave electron spin resonance signals of a spin adduct DMPO-OH, indicating generation of hydroxyl radical. DDMP was found to be mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 without metabolic activation. These results show DDMP generated active oxygen species to cause DNA strand breaking and mutagenesis.

Abstract
2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]furanone (Furaneol, DMHF) [3658-77-3], an important flavour constituent of strawberry fruit, was administered to four male and two female volunteers using fresh strawberries as a natural DMHF source. The amount excreted was determined by measuring urinary levels of DMHF and DMHF glucuronide. DMHF glucuronide was synthesized and the structure elucidated by mens of 1H, 13C and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, as well as mass spectral data. Identification and quantification of DMHF glucuronide in human urine were achieved after solid phase extraction on XAD-2 using reverse-phase reverse-phase HPLC with either on-line UV/VIS or electrospray tandem mass spectrometry detection. Male and female volunteers excreted 59-69% and 81-94%, respectively, of the DMHF dose (total of free and glycosidically bound DMHF in strawberries) as DMHF glucuronide in urine within 24 hr. The amount of DMHF excretion was independent of the dose size and the ratio of free to glycosidically bound forms of DMHF in strawberry fruit. DMHF, DMHF glucoside and its 6'-O-malonyl derivative, naturally occurring in strawberries, were not detected in human urine.

Abstract
Soy sauce is a seasoning consumed widely in Southeast Asia. When supercoiled DNA was incubated with soy sauce at pH7.4 and 37 degrees C, extensive breaking of DNA single-strands was caused. It was found that the breaking activity was due to multiple components with different molecular weight and polarity. One of the components with the breaking activity was purified successively by extraction with ethyl acetate, thin-layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography, and identified as 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HMF), one of the fragrant components in soy sauce. Formation of this component was found due to Maillard reaction of pentoses/amino acids. HMF was readily degraded into the compound with an endiol-ketol structure and reducing activity. Using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) in an electron spin resonance-spin trapping technique, generation of hydroxyl radical in an aqueous solution of HMF was confirmed. While DNA breaking by soy sauce was little inhibited by the scavengers of active oxygen radicals, the breaking by HMF was effectively inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, hydroxyl radical scavengers, spin-trapping agents, thiol compounds and metal chelating agents. Hence, DNA breaking activity of HMF was found due to generation of active oxygen radicals. HMF was found mutagenic to Salmonella bacteria without metabolic activation, probably due to generation of active oxygen radicals.

Abstract
2,5-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2 H)-furanone (DMHF), produced by Maillard reaction of sugar/amino acid and found in various foodstuffs, showed mutagenicity to Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain with and without S9 mix, and induced micronucleated mouse peripheral reticulocytes. DNA strand breaking activity of the compound at pH 7.4 increased with the increasing dose of the compound and with the increasing incubation time. The breaking activity was inhibited in the presence of superoxide dismutase, catalase, hydroxyl radical scavengers, spin trapping agents, thiol compounds and metal chelators, and also by removal of dissolved oxygen from the incubation mixture. Addition of Fe(III) ion to the incubation mixture enhanced the breaking activity. Incubation of DMHF with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) gave electron spin resonance signals characteristic to DMPO-OH adduct, indicating generation of hydroxyl radical. It was found that DMHF generated hydroxyl radical with an aid of a trace amount of metal ions, and induced DNA strand breaking. Mutagenicity and induction of micronucleated reticulocytes by DMHF may be caused as a result of DNA modification via hydroxyl radical.
