Intracellular scavenging activity of Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid) in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Abstract: The ability of Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid), a water-soluble vitamin E analogue, to prevent oxidative damages is well characterized, but the mechanisms underlying it remain unclear. The protective effect of Trolox pre-treatment on H2O2-induced toxicity might be attributed to the decreased cellular permeability to H2O2 or in vitro scavenging activity of Trolox, induction of antioxidant enzymes or the direct scavenging activity of Trolox. The results obtained rule out the firs… Show more

“…MitoVitE contains a 2-carbon chain which links the functional chromanol moiety of vitamin E to a TPP cation and is able to cross the outer mitochondrial membrane due to the positive charge of the TPP conjugate [6,30]. In Trolox, the chromanol is connected to a short-chain carboxylic acid making Trolox hydrophilic and cell-permeable such that it accumulates in the cell cytosol [6][7][8][9]. MitoVitE is more effective than Trolox both in vitro and in vivo [6,31].…”

“…Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetra-methylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) is a synthetic, water soluble and cell-permeable derivative of vitamin E which accumulates in the cell cytosol. It is a potent antioxidant in several model systems [6][7][8][9].…”

“…These antioxidative effects may be due to the ability of these compounds to act as radical trapping agents [25,26], and the capacity of the organotellurium compound to mimic the action of the GPx-enzymes [32]. A previous study has shown that Trolox is likely to exert protection against intracellular H 2 O 2 by intracellular scavenging [40]. In our experimental model, the cells were exposed to the antioxidants and peroxide at the same time, which seems to indicate that it is the extracellular scavenging of peroxide which confers the protection seen with C1.…”

“…Ultimately, these enzymes are trafficked to sources of particular ROSs where they are most effective. In contrast, Trolox appears to need higher concentrations than used here thus likely to be a directly acting antioxidant against H2O2 and other ROSs [37]. …”
