Abstract
Scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of vitamin and mineral supplements in healthy individuals remains scarce. In a randomized, double-blind study, 30 healthy individuals were assigned to receive a single daily dose of multivitamin and multimineral supplementation or a double daily dose for 30 days. Before and after the intake, an untargeted metabolomics assay for serum metabolites was conducted by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and clinical assessments of peripheral blood samples were performed. A paired t-test for metabolic analysis, adjusted using the false discovery rate (FDR) and p-value correction method (rate of change > 2 and FDR < 0.05), the Shapiro-Wilk test, Student's t-test, and the Mann-Whitney U test were applied depending on the variable, with a 5% significance level. An impact on oxidative stress was observed, with a significant reduction in homocysteine levels and an increment of pyridoxic acid (vitamin B6). The effect on energy metabolism was shown by a significant increase in diverse metabolites, such as linoleoylcarnitine. Serum iron and calcium levels were also impacted. Overall, we observed a nutritional balance compatible with a good state of health. In conclusion, beneficial effects on adult health were demonstrated in relation to oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and nutritional balance.

Abstract
Rhodiola rosea L. rhizome has been used as a traditional medicine to treat fatigue, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. We aimed to authenticate R. rosea L. rhizome using the DNA barcoding technique and to quantify its main compounds, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity, and then to investigate their neuroprotective effects. The sequences of internal transcribed spacer and trnH-psbA of R. rosea L. rhizomes showed a 99% identity with those of NCBI GenBank database according to BLAST searches. Analysis using reversed-phase HPLC revealed five main compounds in R. rosea L. rhizome. Rhodiola rosea L. rhizome and two bioactive compounds, salidroside and tyrosol, showed free radical scavenging activity. Rhodiola rosea L. rhizome and its identified compounds protected neuronal PC-12 cells against oxidative stress and showed moderate acetylcholinesterase inhibition. Taken together, these results suggest that R. rosea L. rhizomes with bioactives can be used as a functional ingredient with potential for neuroprotection.

A Randomized Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Bioavailability of Natural versus Synthetic Vitamin B Complexes in Healthy Humans and Their Effects on Homocysteine, Oxidative Stress, and Antioxidant Levels. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:6082613. [PMID: 31915511 PMCID: PMC6930747 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6082613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 09/25/2019] [Accepted: 10/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The vitamin B complex comprises 8 different water-soluble constituents that humans must sequester from the diet. This pilot study compared natural versus synthetic vitamin B complexes for their bioavailability, accumulation, and their impact on antioxidants, homocysteine levels, and oxidative stress. We conducted a double-blind randomized clinical trial with thirty healthy participants. They were randomly assigned to group N (natural) and group S (synthetic). Vitamin B was ingested daily for 6 weeks in the range of about 2.5 times above the recommended daily allowance. Blood samples were taken at baseline, 1.5 h, 4 h, 7 h (diurnal), 6 w (discontinuation of supplements), and 8 w (washout). Blood levels of thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), cobalamin (B12), homocysteine, total antioxidants, peroxidase activity, polyphenols, and total peroxides were determined. Compared to initial values, serum levels of each B vitamin increased at the end of the supplementation period: i.e., B1 (+23% N; +27% S), B2 (+14% N; +13% S), B6 (+101% N; +101% S), B9 (+86% N; +153% S), and B12 (+16% N) (p < 0.05). Homocysteine (-13% N) decreased, while peroxidase activity (+41% S) and antioxidant capacity increased (+26% N). Short-term effects were already observed after 1.5 h for B9 (+238% N; +246% S) and after 4 h for vitamin B2 (+7% N; +8% S), B6 (+59% N; +51% S), and peroxidase activity (+58% N; +58% S). During the washout period, serum levels of B vitamins decreased except for thiamine and peroxidase activity, which increased further. This clinical pilot study revealed comparable bioavailability for both natural and synthetic B vitamins but did not show statistically noticeable differences between groups despite some favourable tendencies within the natural vitamin group, i.e., sustained effects for cobalamin and endogenous peroxidase activity and a decrease in homocysteine and oxidative stress levels.

Abstract
An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol in different types of olive extract raw materials and cosmetic cream samples has been developed. The determination was performed by liquid chromatography with UV spectrophotometric detection. Different chromatographic parameters, such as mobile phase pH and composition, oven temperature and different sample preparation variables were studied. The best chromatographic separation was obtained under the following conditions: C18 column set at 35°C and isocratic elution of a mixture ethanol: 1% acetic acid solution at pH 5 (5:95, v/v) as mobile phase pumped at 1 mL min(-1). The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm and the total run time required for the chromatographic analysis was 10 min, except for cosmetic cream samples where 20 min runtime was required (including a cleaning step). The method was satisfactorily applied to 23 samples including solid, water-soluble and fat-soluble olive extracts and cosmetic cream samples containing hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol. Good recoveries (95-107%) and repeatability (1.1-3.6%) were obtained, besides of limits of detection values below the μg mL(-1) level. These good analytical features, as well as its environmentally-friendly characteristics, make the presented method suitable to carry out both the control of the whole manufacture process of raw materials containing the target analytes and the quality control of the finished cosmetic products.

Abstract
In this work, a new eco-friendly procedure for the synthesis of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol α-glycosidic derivatives was proposed by using the marine α-glucosidase from Aplysia fasciata, and a commercial tyrosinase from mushroom for the bioconversion of tyrosol glycosidic derivatives into the corresponding hydroxytyrosol products. New hydroxytyrosol mono- and di-saccharide derivatives were synthesized at final concentrations of 9.35 and 10.8 g/l of reaction, respectively, and their antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH test. The best antioxidant agent resulted the (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) ethyl-α-D-glucopyranoside; it showed a radical scavenging activity similar to that of the hydroxytyrosol, together with an increased hydrosolubility. This molecule could be a good response to many food industry demands, always in search of cheap antioxidants with nutritional properties to improve the nutritional value and the quality of foods.

Abstract
Potassium ferricyanide (PF), routinely employed for the oxidation of sterically-hindered hydroxylamines to nitroxides, is considered to be chemically inert towards the latter. In the present study, we report on an unexpected oxidative fragmentation of the imidazolidine nitroxides containing hydrogen atom in the 4-position of the heterocycle (HIMD) by PF resulting in the loss of the EPR signal. The mechanistic EPR, spectrophotometric, electrochemical and HPLC-MS studies support the assumption that the HIMD fragmentation is facilitated by the proton abstraction from the 4-position of the oxoammonium cation formed as a result of the initial one-electron HIMD oxidation. Increase in steric hindrance around the radical fragment by introducing ethyl substituents decreased the rate of ascorbate-induced HIMD reduction by more than 20 times, but did not affect the rate of ferricyanide-induced HIMD oxidation. This preferential sensitivity of HIMDs to oxidative processes has been used to detect peroxyl radicals in the presence of high concentration of the reducing agent, ascorbate. HIMD-based EPR probes capable to discriminate oxidative and reductive processes might find application in biomedicine and related fields for monitoring the oxidative stress and reactive radical species in biological systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the relation between haemoglobin (Hb)-mediated lipid and protein oxidation in muscle foods and how these two reactions can be inhibited by naturally occurring antioxidants. This study was aimed at evaluating (1) lipid oxidation and protein oxidation induced by 20 µmol L(-1) Hb during chilled and frozen storage of washed cod mince and (2) the efficiency of 10-1000 ppm (0.063-6.3 mmol L(-1)) caffeic acid in preventing these reactions. RESULTS Addition of 20 µmol L(-1) Hb increased peroxide value (PV), rancid odour, protein carbonylation, protein insolubilisation, redness loss and α-tocopherol loss in ice-stored washed cod mince. Since both lipid and protein oxidation developed at the same time, it was not possible to conclude which reaction initiated the other. All studied reactions were efficiently inhibited by ≥ 50 ppm caffeic acid, which could be a result of α-tocopherol regeneration, general radical scavenging, reduced formation of oxidised Hb forms and/or conformational changes in Hb structure. During frozen storage the only clear effect of Hb was increased PV, and here caffeic acid was less efficient as an antioxidant. CONCLUSION Hb-induced lipid and protein oxidation occurred quickly in ice-stored washed cod mince, and the two reactions could not be separated in time. During frozen storage, Hb caused only limited lipid oxidation. Caffeic acid (≥50 ppm) was an efficient antioxidant during ice storage.

Abstract
Indolinonic aromatic nitroxides have been shown to efficiently inhibit free radical mediated oxidation reactions in biological systems. Since all antioxidants also possess pro-oxidant activity, possibly through a hydrogen abstraction process from suitable substrates, the relative hydrogen abstraction abilities of these compounds were evaluated. Different hydrogen donors were reacted with an indolinic and two indolinonic nitroxides and the rates of hydrogen abstraction were determined using UV-Vis spectroscopy. From the data obtained, a structure-activity relationship was found. In addition, the hydrogen abstraction ability of these compounds was found to be much greater than that of the aliphatic nitroxide TEMPO, despite existing reports indicating that these two classes of compounds show similar antioxidant activities in biological systems.

Abstract
A new potentially antioxidant compound, spin-labelled lutein (SL-lut), was synthesized and incorporated into egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) liposome membrane. The approximate location of nitroxide free radical groups of SL-lut was determined based on electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. Then the ability of SL-lut to protect EYPC liposomes against lipid peroxidation (LPO) was compared to the antioxidant effects of lutein and a nitroxide spin label 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-1-yloxy (3-CP). Two free radical generation systems were used - a thermal decomposition of 2,2'-azobis (2,4 dimethyl-valeronitrile) (AMVN) and a modified Fenton reaction using ferric-8-hydroxyquinoline (Fe(HQ)(3)). Determination of the amount of thiobarbituric acid reactive species (TBARS) was used as a measure of LPO. SL-lut was the most powerful antioxidant, reducing LPO by about 6-times in AMVN-treated liposomes and 7-times in Fe(HQ)(3)-treated liposomes. Lutein alone gave only a moderate protection in both systems, while 3-CP was as efficient as SL-lut in the presence of AMVN, but not efficient whatsoever in the presence of Fe(HQ)(3). The results suggest that a nitroxide part of SL-lut plays an important role in enhancing the antioxidant activity of lutein and makes SL-lut a powerful antioxidant efficient under different conditions.

Abstract
Nitroxide radicals are an emerging class of interesting compounds with versatile antioxidant and radioprotective properties. All literature studies have so far concentrated on compounds bearing only one nitroxide function. Here, we now investigate and compare the radical scavenging behaviour and antioxidant activity of aromatic indolinonic and aliphatic piperidine bis-nitroxides, i.e compounds bearing two nitroxide functions. Their corresponding mono-derivatives were also studied for comparison. Radical scavenging activity was investigated using EPR and UV-Vis spectroscopy by following spectral changes in acetonitrile of the nitroxides in the presence of alkyl and peroxyl radicals generated, respectively, under anoxic or aerobic conditions from thermal decomposition of AMVN [2,2'-azobis(2,4-di-methylvaleronitrile)]. Antioxidant activity of the nitroxides was evaluated by monitoring conjugated dienes (CD) formation during methyl linoleate micelles peroxidation and by measuring carbonyl content in oxidized bovine serum albumin (BSA). The results show that: (a) each nitroxide moiety in bis-nitroxides scavenges radicals independent of each other; (b) aliphatic nitroxides do not scavenge peroxyl radicals, at least under the experimental conditions used here, whereas indolinonic aromatic ones do: their stoichiometric number is 1.14 and 2.17, respectively, for mono- and bis-derivatives; (c) bis-nitroxides are roughly twice more efficient at inhibiting lipid peroxidation compared to their corresponding mono-derivatives. Although this study provides only comparative information on the relative radical-scavenging abilities of mono- and bis-nitroxides, it helps in understanding further the interesting reactivity of these compounds especially with regards to peroxyl radicals where many controversies in the literature exist.

Abstract
The interaction between the hydrophobic indolinonic nitroxide radical, 1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-2-phenyl-3H-indole-3-one-1-oxyl and hydrophilic alpha-, beta- and gamma-cyclodextrin derivatives was investigated in water by phase-solubility analysis. Among the studied cyclodextrins, random methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (RM-beta-CD) had the greatest solubilizing activity (1312-fold increase in. the intrinsic aqueous solubility). Solid complexes were prepared by the freeze-drying method and characterized by powder X-ray diffractometry and thermal analysis. Complexation of the nitroxide with RM-beta-CD was also confirmed in solution by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Photodegradation of the nitroxide was reduced by complexation with RM-beta-CD, this effect being more pronounced in the solid-state (the extent of degradation was 28.0% for the complex vs. 78.8% for uncomplexed nitroxide) than in solution (41.2 vs. 69.1% for uncomplexed nitroxide). The antioxidant activity of the complex was also investigated on the peroxidation of methyl linoleate micelles and on protein oxidation induced by free radical generators, and in both systems the free form of the nitroxide as well as its complex with RM-beta-CD, showed essentially the same degree of protection. Moreover, EPR experiments showed a time-dependent decrease in the EPR signal of both the complexed and uncomplexed nitroxides with the free-radical generators. Therefore, RM-beta-CD complexation of the nitroxide represents an effective strategy to improve its aqueous solubility and photostability, which is essential for certain biological applications, while it does not interfere with its radical scavenging efficiency.

Abstract
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol), some substituted phenols (2,6-dimethylphenol and 2,6-ditertbutylphenol) and their 4-nitrosoderivatives have been compared for their scavenging ability towards 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and for their inhibitory action on lipid peroxidation. These products were also compared to the classical antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole. When measuring the reactivity of the various phenolic derivatives with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl the following order of effectiveness was observed: butylated hydroxyanisole > propofol > 2,6-dimethylphenol > 2,6-di-tertbutylphenol > butylated hydroxytoluene. In cumene hydroperoxide-dependent microsomal lipid peroxidation, propofol acts as the most effective antioxidant, while butylated hydroxyanisole, 2,6-di-tertbutylphenol and butylated hydroxytoluene exhibit a rather similar effect, although lower than propofol. In the iron/ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation propofol, at concentrations higher than 10 microM, exhibits antioxidant properties comparable to those of butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole, 2,6-Dimethylphenol is scarcely effective in both lipoperoxidative systems. The antioxidant properties of the various molecules depend on their hydrophobic characteristics and on the steric and electronic effects of their substituents. However, the introduction of the nitroso group in the 4-position almost completely removes the antioxidant properties of the examined compounds. The nitrosation of the aromatic ring of antioxidant molecules and the consequent loss of antioxidant capacity can be considered a condition potentially occurring in vivo since nitric oxide and its derivatives are continuously formed in biological systems.

Abstract
Nitroxides can undergo one- or two-electron reduction reactions to hydroxylamines or oxammonium cations, respectively, which themselves are interconvertible, thereby providing redox metabolic actions. 4-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (tempol) is the most extensively studied nitroxide. It is a cell membrane-permeable amphilite that dismutates superoxide catalytically, facilitates hydrogen peroxide metabolism by catalase-like actions, and limits formation of toxic hydroxyl radicals produced by Fenton reactions. It is broadly effective in detoxifying these reactive oxygen species in cell and animal studies. When administered intravenously to hypertensive rodent models, tempol caused rapid and reversible dose-dependent reductions in blood pressure in 22 of 26 studies. This was accompanied by vasodilation, increased nitric oxide activity, reduced sympathetic nervous system activity at central and peripheral sites, and enhanced potassium channel conductance in blood vessels and neurons. When administered orally or by infusion over days or weeks to hypertensive rodent models, it reduced blood pressure in 59 of 68 studies. This was accompanied by correction of salt sensitivity and endothelial dysfunction and reduced agonist-evoked oxidative stress and contractility of blood vessels, reduced renal vascular resistance, and increased renal tissue oxygen tension. Thus, tempol is broadly effective in reducing blood pressure, whether given by acute intravenous injection or by prolonged administration, in a wide range of rodent models of hypertension.

Nitroxides are more efficient inhibitors of oxidative damage to calf skin collagen than antioxidant vitamins. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2007; 1780:58-68. [PMID: 17964728 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2007.09.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2007] [Revised: 09/13/2007] [Accepted: 09/21/2007] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species generated upon UV-A exposure appear to play a major role in dermal connective tissue transformations including degradation of skin collagen. Here we investigate on oxidative damage to collagen achieved by exposure to (i) UV-A irradiation and to (ii) AAPH-derived radicals and on its possible prevention using synthetic and natural antioxidants. Oxidative damage was identified through SDS-PAGE, circular dichroism spectroscopy and quantification of protein carbonyl residues. Collagen (2 mg/ml) exposed to UV-A and to AAPH-derived radicals was degraded in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Upon UV-A exposure, maximum damage was observable at 730 kJ/m2 UV-A, found to be equivalent to roughly 2 h of sunshine, while exposure to 5 mM AAPH for 2 h at 50 degrees C lead to maximum collagen degradation. In both cases, dose-dependent protection was achieved by incubation with muM concentrations of nitroxide radicals, where the extent of protection was shown to be dictated by their structural differences whereas the vitamins E and C proved less efficient inhibitors of collagen damage. These results suggest that nitroxide radicals may be able to prevent oxidative injury to dermal tissues in vivo alternatively to commonly used natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Biological applications of stable nitroxyl radicals, NR, include their use as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging, spin labels, superoxide dismutase mimics, and antioxidants. The rapid reduction of NR in biological samples into hydroxylamines (HA) significantly limits their application. In turn, reoxidation of HA back to the NR has been used for detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this work comparative studies of the reduction of pyrrolidine, imidazoline, and imidazolidine NR by ascorbate were performed taking advantage of recently synthesized tetraethyl-substituted NR with much higher stability toward reduction both in vitro and in vivo. Surprisingly, these NR kept 10-50% of initial intensity of electron paramagnetic resonance signal for about 1 h in the presence of 100-fold excess of ascorbate. To explain these data, reoxidation of the corresponding HA by ascorbate radical and dehydroascorbic acid back to the NR was proposed. This hypothesis was supported by direct measurement of the NR appearance from the HA on ascorbate radical generation by ascorbate oxidase, or in the presence of the dehydroascorbic acid. The reversible reaction between NR and ascorbate was observed for the various types of NR, and the rate constants for direct and reverse reactions were determined. The equilibrium constants for one-electron reduction of the tetraethyl-substituted NR by ascorbate were found to be in the range from 2.65x10(-6) to 10(-5) which is significantly lower than corresponding values for the tetramethyl-substituted NR (more or about 10(-4)). This explains the establishment of an EPR-detectable quasi-equilibrium level of tetraethyl-substituted NR in the presence of an excess of ascorbate. The redox reactions of the NR-HA couple in ascorbate-containing media were found to be significantly affected by glutathione (GSH). This effect was attributed to the reduction of ascorbate radicals by GSH, and the rate constant of this reaction was found to be equal to 10 M-1 s-1. In summary, the data provide new insight into the redox chemistry of NR and HA, and significantly affect interpretation and strategy of their use as redox- and ROS-sensitive probes, or as antioxidants.

Abstract
Four new acyclic diterpene glycosides named capsianosides (1-4), together with 12 known compounds, were isolated from the fresh sweet pepper fruits of Capsicum annuum L., a plant used as a vegetable food, spice, and external medicine. The chemical structures of new natural compounds, as well as their absolute configurations, were established by means of spectroscopic data including infrared, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and by chemical derivatization. The known capsidiol (11) showed bacteriostatic properties in vitro against Helicobacter pylori with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 200 microg/mL when compared with the commercial drug metronidazole (MIC, 250 microg/mL). Some purified components were also tested for their antioxidant activities.

Abstract
This work describes the synthesis and characterisation of some novel hybrid molecules which contains in the same molecule a free radical moiety of hydrazyl type and a spin-trap moiety of nitrone type. The new compounds synthesized have multiple and easy to follow spectroscopic properties, making them useful as sensors or probes in radical chemistry. The new class of hydrazyl-nitrone molecules can act, in a single step process, as both generator and spin-trap of short-lived radicals. The hybrid molecules can be also involved in acid-base or redox processes, and the chemical processes can be easily monitored by visible or electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. The excellent generator and trap properties recommend them as valuable sensors and probes in radical chemistry.

Abstract
A selection of wild plants collected in Valsesia (Northwest Italy) was screened for their in vitro antioxidant activity. Aerial parts of selected plants were dried at room temperature and powdered. Then, four sequential extractions were performed with increasing polarity solvents, i.e. n-hexane, chloroform, chloroform-methanol (9:1, v/v) and methanol. By employing different assays, it was shown that all the methanol extracts of the samples collected were endowed with antioxidant activity, though, as expected, their potency varied according to the different tests. In particular, plants of the Thymus and Achillea genus displayed the highest activity. Given that a diet rich in wild plants is associated with a reduced incidence of degenerative diseases, such as atherosclerosis and cancer, this study suggests that some Valsesia plants could be pharmaceutically exploited.

Abstract
Biophenols have attracted increasing attention during the past few years due to their biological activities and natural abundance and are potential targets for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Olive mill waste (OMW) is rich in biophenols and typically contains 98% of the total phenols in the olive fruit, making value addition to OMW an attractive enterprise. The phenolic profile of OMW is complex, yet this complexity has not been fully exploited in the valorization of the waste. Most work on the bioactivity of OMW has focused on antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The analytical techniques used to identify and quantify active biophenols are also reviewed.
