Antioxidant and Electron Donating Function of Hypothalamic Polypeptides: Galarmin and Gx-NH2

Abstract: Chemical mechanisms of antioxidant and electron donating function of the hypothalamic proline-rich polypeptides have been clarified on the molecular level. The antioxidant-chelating property of Galarmin and Gx-NH(2) was established by their capability to inhibit copper(II) dichloride catalyzed H(2)O(2) decomposition, thus preventing formation of HO(*) and HOO(*) radicals. The antiradical activity of Galarmin and Gx-NH(2) was determined by their ability to react with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical applyi… Show more

“…Turmeric is one of the famous traditional medicinal herbs which show anti-oxidant effect. Normally, the antioxidant activity of natural products is due to the presence of substituted groups such as carboxyl group, electron withdrawing group, and electron donating group in their aromatic ring structure [39]. Since the two methoxy (electron donating) groups were removed from curcumin, BDMC might show a significant electrochemical difference from the curcumin.…”

“…Under acidic conditions, proton (H + ) can compete as an electron-donating group with the metal ion, which is not likely to form a chelate. Under alkaline conditions, hydroxyl group (-OH) can also compete as an electron-donating group with the metal ion and form a hydroxide precipitate, which hinders the formation of chelates (26,27). As shown in Fig.…”

“…PRP-1 also possess immunotrop and neuroprotective properties [11]. It was shown recently that PRP-1 is capable of neutralizing highly active hydroxy radicals (HO ÁÁÁ ) [23], which in their turn inactivate MAA and MPA, thus through that route PRP-1 normalizes the MAA (Cu, Zn-SOD, catalase and ceruloplasmin) and MPA to norm during different pathological states. Moreover, it increases NADPH dependent O 2 -producing and ferriHb-reducing activities of MPA in vitro and in vivo [19,20].…”
