Endotoxin-inactivating Potency of Hydrogen Peroxide: Effect on Cell Growth

Abstract: An in vitro system was used to study the detoxifying potential of H2O2 on bacterial endotoxin. L929 fibroblasts were exposed to H2O2-treated and -untreated endotoxin. Growth and viability assays were made at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The cultures exposed to H2O2-treated endotoxin showed a normal growth rate, whereas the cultures exposed to untreated endotoxin displayed a substantial reduction in growth. Implications are presented as to the potential role of H2O2 in the pathogenesis and treatment of periodontal dis… Show more

“…Because the lifetime of •OH is very short ( 9), main detoxification of endotoxin proceeds on the surface of TiO2 thin film. However, it is known that lipid A of the endotoxin is also oxidized by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (20). Therefore, the possibility that some inactive rections proceed in the solution phase cannot be excluded in the present conditions.…”

“…Nakib, et al (1982) Commercially obtained endotoxin may not significantly affect the attachment of fibroblasts but may only affect their growth (Bergman and Nilsson, 1963;DeRenzis, 1981;and Olson, Adams and Layman, 1985) or both growth and viability (Aleo, et al 1974;Singer and Dutton, 1979).…”

“…Associando ao conhecimento expresso por Nilsson e col. 11 , que enfatizam a importância da análise de endotoxinas ligadas à superfície polimérica, que ainda assim induzem a reações de ativação do complemento, justifica atenção particular a este segmento, buscando a garantia na liberação destes correlatos livres da presença de endotoxinas. O peróxido de hidrogênio foi há muitos anos considerado efetivo na destruição de endotoxinas, dependendo de concentração, tempo de contato e temperatura 2,10,16 , embora sem elucidação completa do mecanismo da reação 3,6,7 . Na aplicação proposta inexistem riscos de incompatibilidade, sendo resíduo único a umidade, eliminada quando da secagem final dos componentes.…”
