Popis: | Seven structurally diverse flavonoids have been shown to decrease glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) inactivation in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), induced by exposure to a high temperature (44°C), or by a low-frequency ultrasound (27 kHz, 60 Wt/cm2). The activity of the compounds was assessed by their ability to change effective first-order rate constants characterizing the total (thermal and ultrasonic), thermal, and ultrasonic inactivation of 2.5 nM G6PDH (k in, k*in, and k in(us), respectively). The value dependences of these constants on flavonoid concentrations (0.01–50 μM) were obtained. Rank order of potency exhibited by the compounds in protecting G6PDH appeared as follows: hesperidin > morin > silibin > naringin = quercetin > kampferol ≫ astragalin. The data obtained confirm the crucial role of free radicals formed in the field of ultrasonic cavitation (HO· and O 2 ·− in G6PDH inactivation in solutions. |
