Free radicals and antioxidants • What is „free radical“? • Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) • Are the RONS always dangerous? • Well known term „oxidative stress“ - what is it? • Antioxidants - types and appearance • Markers of oxidative stress • Disorders Associated with Oxidative stress
Free radical - what is it? Atom: proton, neutron, electronic shell (orbital) Free radical • particles with an unpaired electron spinning around the nucleus. (can be atom, ions, molecule). • tend to reach equilibrium, plucks an electron from the nearest intact molecule. • most of biomoleculs are not radicals
Free radical and „science“ • chemistduring the thirties - there is superoxide • biochemistduring the sixties - make a discovery of superoxid dismutase (SOD) • doctorfree radicals are associated with many disorders
Mechanism of radical reactions Radicals are highly reactive species Three distinc steps • initiation (homolytic covalent bonds cleavage) • propagation (chain propagation) • termination
Free radicals superoxide, O2 · - hydroxyl radical, OH · peroxyl, ROO · alkoxyl, RO · hydroperoxyl, HO2 · Particals, which are not free radicals hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 (Fenton´s reaction) hypochlorous acid, HClO ozone, O3 singlet oxygen, 1O2 ROS (reactive oxygen species)
Free radicals nitrogen(II) oxide, NO . nitrogen(IV) oxide, NO2. Particals, which are not free radicals nitrosyl, NO+ nitrous acid, HONO nitogen(III) oxide, N2O3 peroxynitrite, ONOO - alkylperoxinitrite, ROONO RNS (reactive nitrogen species)
The main sources of free radicals membranes enzymes and/or coenzymes with flavine structures, hem coenzymes, enzymes containing Cu atom in an active site 1. respiratory chain mitochondria : mainly superoxide and then H2O2 • approx 1- 4% O2 entres into resp. chain (mainly complexes I a III)
The main sources of free radicals II 2. Endoplasmic reticulum superoxide creation (by cytochrome P- 450) 3. special cells (leukocytes) superoxide creation by NADP-oxidas 4. hemoglobin to methemoglobinoxidation (erytrocyte is „full“ of antioxidants)
Free radicals physiological function Used by oxides a oxygenes • cytochromoxidase (toxic intermediates, H2O2 and superoxide, are bound to an enzymu) • monoxygenases - activate O2 in liver ER or in adrenal gland mitochondria ; hydroxylation
Free radicals physiological function II ROS a RNS against bacteria • enzyme complex NADPH-oxidase ofleukocytes • myeloperoxidase - catalysis of the following reaction H2O2 + Cl- + H+ = HClO + H2O
Free radicals physiological function III • Signal moleculesfirst messenger second messenger information net This info net function is affected by the redox state of cells • redox state : antioxidant capacity, reduction equivalent availlability, RONS rate ROS: second messenger
Immunity vs. regulation a massive production of ROS as immunity instrument x an induction of the changes low concentration ROS, which are probably regulation mechanism
Antioxidant defence system 3 levels inhibition of production the abundance of RONS capture ofradicals (scavengers, trappers, quenchers) correction mechanism of destroyed biomoleculs
Antioxidants and scavengers review 1. Endogennous antioxidants • enzymes (cytochrome c,SOD, GSHPx, catalase) • nonenzymatic - fixed in membranes ( -tocopherol, -caroten, coenzym Q 10) - out of membranes (ascorbate, transferrin, bilirubin)
Antioxidants and scavengers review II 2. Exogennous antioxidants • FR scavengers • trace elements • drugs and compounds influence to FR metabolism

Glutathion peroxidases elimination of intracellular hydroperoxides and H2O2 2 GSH + ROOH GSSH + H2O + ROH • cytosolic GSH - glutathionperoxidasa(EC 1.11.1.9, cGPx) • extracelullar GSH- glutathionperoxidasa (eGSHPx) • phospholipidhydroperoxide GSH - peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.12, PHGPx)
