Abstract: With increasing evidence showing the involvement of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various diseases, the effects of clinical drugs possessing antioxidant functions have received much attention. The unregulated oxidative modification of biological molecules leading to diseases is mediated by multiple oxidants including free radicals, peroxynitrite, hypochlorite, lipoxygenase, and singlet oxygen. The capacity of antioxidants to scavenge or quench oxidants depends on the nature of oxidants. In the present study, the antioxidant effects of several clinical drugs against plasma lipid oxidation induced by the aforementioned five kinds of oxidants were investigated from the production of lipid hydroperoxides, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Troglitazone acted as a potent peroxyl radical scavenger, whereas probucol and edaravone showed only moderate reactivity and carvedilol, pentoxifylline, and ebselen did not act as radical scavenger. Probucol and edaravone suppressed plasma oxidation mediated by peroxynitrite and hypochlorite. Troglitazone and edaravone inhibited 15-lipoxygenase mediated plasma lipid oxidation, the IC50 being 20 and 34μM respectively. None of the drugs used in this study suppressed plasma lipid oxidation by singlet oxygen. This study shows that the antioxidant effects of drugs depend on the nature of oxidants and that antioxidants against multiple oxidants are required to cope with oxidative stress in vivo.
