Degradation of High‐Molar‐Mass Hyaluronan by Ascorbate plus Cupric Ions: Effects of D‐Penicillamine Addition

Abstract: Pro- and anti-oxidative effects of an anti-rheumatoid drug, D-penicillamine (D-PN), on the kinetics of high-molar-mass hyaluronan (HA) degradation were monitored using the method of rotational viscometry. The degradation of the dissolved HA macromolecules was attained by applying the Weissberger's system comprising ascorbic acid plus cupric ions. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was used to identify the generated free radicals. The results obtained indicate that the initial anti-oxidative act… Show more

“…When such a scavenging compound is loaded into the HA solution before applying the Weissbergers oxidative system, the scavenger may be tested in its function as a preventive antioxidant while, on applying the tested compound during the propagation phase of the HA degradation, its function may be tested as a chain-breaking antioxidant. The two already established experimental designs to investigate the HA degradation by the Weissbergers oxidative system [21] [22] were preferentially used on investigating both the preventive and chain-breaking antioxidative properties of the DMARD, i.e., aurothiomalate. The results represented in Fig.…”

“…It is known that ascorbate has the capability to scavenge some of the forming • OH, i. e., the total concentration of 100 μM of • OH has not been achieved. As detected by electron paramagnetic resonance with a spin trapper DMPO the product of the reaction of ascorbate with • OH within one hour was exclusively ascorbyl radicals, followed by a continuous increase in • OH formation [19–21] …”

“…It exhibits a dual behavior producing and scavenging H 2 O 2 . This fact might partially explain its pro-and antioxidative properties observed in vitro [6] [7]. Reduced l-glutathione (l-g-glutamyl-l-cysteinyl-glycine; GSH; Fig.…”
