Abstract
Trifluoperazine (TFP) (35 microM) prevents mitochondrial transmembrane potential (delta psi) collapse and swelling induced by 10 microM Ca2+ plus oxyradicals generated from delta-aminolevulinic acid autoxidation. In contrast with EGTA, TFP cannot restore the totally collapsed delta psi. So, TFP might not remove Ca2+ from its 'harmful site', but could impair the ROS-driven cross-linking between membrane-SH proteins. Our data are correlated with the protective uses of TFP against oxidative processes promoted by oxyradicals plus Ca2+.Entities:
