Protective effects of manganese(II) chloride on hyaluronan degradation by oxidative system ascorbatepluscupric chlorideThe degradation of several high-molar-mass hyaluronan samples was investigated in the presence of ascorbic acid itself and further by an oxidative system composed of ascorbic acid plus transition metal ions, i.e. Fe(II) or Cu(II) ions. The latter oxidative system imitates conditions in a joint synovial fluid during early phase of acute joint inflammation and can be used as a model for monitoring oxidative degradation of hyaluronan under pathophysiological conditions. The system Cu(II)plusascorbate (the Weissberger oxidative system) resulted in a more significant decrease of hyaluronan molar mass compared to the oxidative system Fe(II) plus ascorbate. Addition of manganese(II) chloride was found to decrease the rate of the oxidative damage of hyaluronan initiated by ascorbate itself and by the Weissberger system.

Indole derivatives such as isatin (a natural compound), cemtirestat, stobadine, and its derivatives (synthetic compounds) are known to have numerous positive effects on human health due to regulation of oxidative status. The aim of the study was to assess radical scavenging capacities of these compounds and explore their potential protective effects against reactive oxygen species formed during Cu(II) ions and ascorbate-induced degradation of high-molar-mass hyaluronan. Based on the IC50 values determined by the ABTS assay, the most effective compound was SM1M3EC2·HCl reaching the value ≈ 11 µmol/L. The lowest IC50 value reached in the DPPH assay was reported for cemtirestat ≈ 3 µmol/L. Great potency of inhibition of hyaluronan degradation was shown by cemtirestat, followed by isatin even at low concentration 10 µmol/L. On the other hand, stobadine·2HCl had also a protective effect on hyaluronan degradation, however at greater concentrations compared to cemtirestat or isatin. SME1i-ProC2·HCl reported to be a less effective compound and SM1M3EC2·HCl can be considered almost ineffective compared to stobadine·2HCl. In conclusion, our results showed that both isatin and cemtirestat were capable of attenuating the degradation of high-molar-mass hyaluronan due to their ability to complex/sequester cupric ions.

AbstractPotential protective effects of elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extracts against oxidative degradation of hyaluronan (HA) were detected in vitro. To induce free-radical-mediated HA degradation, Weissberger’s biogenic oxidative system, which mimics the situation of acute inflammation, was applied. Time- and dose-dependent changes of dynamic viscosity of the HA solutions in the presence and absence of two elderberry extracts produced in 2006 and 2012 were recorded by rotational viscometry (RV). Radical scavenging capacity of both extracts was investigated by the spectrocolorimetric ABTS [2,2′-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt] assay and the “inverted” ABTS assay. Oxygen consumption of the system oxidizing HA either in the absence or presence of the elderberry extracts was determined. The results of RV revealed that an addition of the newer extract (2012) promoted the inhibition of HA degradation more markedly compared to the older extract (2006). The same effect of both extracts on ABTS

AbstractOxidative stress and the resulting damage to cellular and extracellular components has been observed in a variety of degenerative processes, including degenerative joint disorders, where high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA) is often found to be massively degraded. The present study sought to test the hypothesis that dithiols are more effective in protecting biomacromolecules from free-radicalmediated damage than monothiols. The materials/thiols tested included bucillamine (BUC), dithioerythritol (DTE), dithiothreitol (DTT) and glutathione (GSH), as a reference, for their effectiveness in protecting HA from oxidative degradation induced in vitro. Since HA degradation results in a decrease in its dynamic viscosity, rotational viscometry was applied to follow HA oxidative degradation. The free-radical-scavenging activities of the thiols tested were determined by 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) assays. It was found that all the dithiols in the concentration range tested protected HA from the oxidative degradation. On the other hand, monothiol GSH exerted protection only at high concentrations (10 μmol L−1 and 100 μmol L−1) and 1 μmol L−1 of GSH even exhibited a prodegradative effect. The ABTS assay revealed free-radical scavenging activities in the following order: BUC, DTT, DTE, GSH, and that of the DPPH assay: BUC, DTE, DTT, GSH. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that dithiols may be more effective than monothiols in affording biomacromolecule protection from oxidative degradation.

Исследована возможность применения очищенных пектинов для стабилизации аскорбиновой кислоты (АК) в фреш-соках с концентрацией 10–6–10–4г/мл. В работе использованы: АК, щавелевая кислота (ЩК), свекловичный (СП), цитрусовый (ЦП) и яблочный (ЯП) пектины с высокой молярной массой 61000–87500 г/моль и степенью этерификации 46,5–76,3%, предназначенные для фармацевтического применения. Фреш-соки получены посредством отжима ягод, плодов и овощей (18 видов). Установлено отсутствие мешающего влияния пектинов на определение АК методом дифференциальной спектроскопии в УФ-области – характеристический максимум поглощения АК 264 нм. По серии растворов АК (0,25–1,25) · 10–3% определен удельный показатель поглощения АК 727, в соответствии с которым оценено содержание АК в модельных растворах со вспомогательными веществами при хранении. Устойчивость АК составляет, сут: в присутствии ЩК 5, СП 4, ЦП 6, ЯП 10. Установлено оптимальное массовое соотношение АК : ЯП как 1 : 16, что использовано для купажирования фреш-соков, в которых предварительно определена концентрация АК 0,40–19,99 мг % методом титрования 2,6-дихлорфенолиндофенолятом натрия. Сравнительная оценка соков до и после купажирования ЯП при хранении (20°С, 10 сут) показала, что ЯП способствует смещению рН в оптимальную для АК область рН 4,5–8,0; увеличению вязкости соков на 5–148% и сроков хранения в 3,3–59 раз. Относительная погрешность различных определений (n = 5, P = 95%, t = 2,57) составила ± (0,7–5,6)%. Доказана возможность применения очищенного ЯП в качестве стабилизатора АК в фреш-соках с концентрацией АК 10–6–10–4 г/мл, что создает перспективы безопасного «продления жизни» соков. The possibility of using purified pectins to stabilize ascorbic acid (AA) in fresh juices with a concentration of 10–6–10–4g/ml was investigated. In the work were used: АA, oxalic acid (OA), beetroot, citrus and apple pectins (BP, CP and AP) with high molar mass (61000–87500 g/mol) and the degree of etherification (46,5–76,3%), intended for pharmaceutical use. Fresh juices were obtained by pressing berries, fruits and vegetables (18 kinds). Absence of interfering effect of pectins on the determination of AA by differential spectroscopy in the UV region (characteristic maximum absorption of AA – 264 nm) was established. According to the series of AA solutions (0,25–1,25) · 10–3%, the specific absorption rate of AA 727 was determined, according to which the content of AA in model solutions with auxiliary substances during storage was estimated. The stability of AA in the presence of OA is 5 days, BP – 4 days, CP – 6 days, AP – 10 days. The optimal mass ratio of AA : AP 1 : 16 was established, which was used for blending fresh juice, in which the concentration of AA (0,40–19,99 mg %) was previously determined by the method of titration with 2,6-dichlorphenolindophenol sodium. A comparative assessment of juices before and after blending during storage (20°C, 10 days) showed that AP contributes to the displacement of pH in the optimal for AA area of pH 4,5–8,0; increase in the viscosity of juices by 5–148% and shelf life of 3,3–59 times. The relative error of different definitions (n = 5, P = 95%, t = 2,57) was ± (0,7–5,6)%. Thus, the possibility of using purified AP as an AA stabilizer in fresh juices with the concentration of AA 10–6–10–4g/ml is proved, which creates prospects for safe prolonging the life of juices.

In the minireview presented here, the authors discuss the evaluation of inhibitory effect of substances in the phases of initiation and propagation of high-molar-mass hyaluronan oxidative degradation. The experimental approach should be considered as original since on using a simple experimental assay it is possible to prove both the so-called “preventive” and “chain-breaking” antioxidant activity of investigated water-soluble endo- or exogenous substances.
