[Antioxidant and prooxidant properties of the ascorbic acid, dihydroquercetine and mexidol in the radical reactions induced by the ionizing radiation and chemical reagents].

Antioxidant and prooxidant properties of dihydroquercetine, mexidol and an ascorbic acid in reactions with participation of radicals OH* and O2(-)*, induced by gamma-irradiation, iron-catalyzed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and oxidation of reduced NADH by phenazine metosulfate are investigafed. The efficiency of scavenging of radicals OH* estimated by the results of the analysis of deoxyribose degradation, and the efficiency of scavenging of superoxide anion-radicals O2(-)* is estimated by the results of the analysis of occurrence the reduced nitrotetrazolium blue. The concentrations of analyzed compounds, scavenging on 50% (C50%) formation of radicals OH* and O2(-)* are certain. It is shown, that an ascorbic acid, dihydroquercetine and mexidol decrease the generating of superoxide anion-radicals O2(-)* in the gamma-irradiated solutions of sodium format and at oxidation of reduced NADH by phenazine metosulfate scavanged of superoxide anion-radicals O2(-)*. In the gamma-irradiated saline solutions an ascorbic acid, dihydroquercetine and mexidol protected deoxyribose from oxidizing action of hydroxyl radicals OH*. However at presence Fe(3+), EDTA and hydrogen peroxide addition of an ascorbic acid (0.1 mmol/l) increased generating of hydroxyl radicals OH* and in 2.8 times raised the maintenance of products of deoxyribose oxidation, reacting with thiobarbituric acid. Prooxidant action of an ascorbic acid is observed as well in absence of hydrogen peroxide. Obtained data testify that in various modelling systems reagents, in particular ions of iron, and the formed active intermediate products render significant influence on scavenging efficiency of investigated compounds.
