Objectives : Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), superoxide anion radical (?O2-) and nitric oxide (NO) are cytotoxic because they can oxidize several cellular components such as proteins, lipids and DNA. They have been implicated in the aging process, and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate Sabohwan's activity for scavenging ONOO- and its precursors. NO and ?02-. Methods : For this study, the fluorescent probes, namely 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), 4.5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) and dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123) were used. Results : Sabohwanblocked tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced cell death in a dose-dependent fashion. It scavenged t-BHP-induced ONOO-, NO and ?O2- in YPEN cells. Sabohwan inhibited the generation of ONOO-, NO and ?O2- in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mouse kidney postmitochondria both in vitro and in vivo. The lipid peroxide level increased and glutathione level decreased in the LPS-treated mice, whereas the ones in the Sabohwanadministered group among the LPS-treated mice reversed toward their natural levels. Conclusions : These results suggest that Sabohwanis an effective ONOO-, ?O2- and NO scavenger, and thereby it might have a potential role as a therapy against the aging process and age-related diseases.

A furanofuranoid lignan glycoside, with radical scavenging on peroxynitrite, total reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, was isolated from the rhizome of Salvia miltiorrhiza and characterized as (+)-1-hydroxypinoresinol-1-Ο-$\beta$-D-glucoside based on spectroscopic evidence. The compound exhibited peroxynitrite, total ROS and DPPH radical scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 3.23$\pm$0.04, 2.26$\pm$0.07 and 32.3$\pm$0.13 $\mu$M, respectively. Penicillamine, Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid) and L-ascorbic acid, acting as positive controls, showed radical scavenging activities with $IC_{50}$ values of 6.72$\pm$0.25, 1.43$\pm$0.04 and 11.4$\pm$0.07 $\mu$M, respectively.

Peroxynitrite formation in vivo is implicated in numerous human diseases and there is considerable interest in the use of antioxidants and natural products for their treatment. The three components (1-3) isolated from Sargassum thunbergii as well as the organic solvent-soluble fractions and the aqueous layer of S. thunbergii were evaluated for their potential to scavenge authentic ONOO$\^$-/ and ONOO$\^$-/ derived from 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). The antioxidant activity of the individual fractions was in the order of 85% aqueous (aq.) MeOH＞n$\^$-/ BuOH＞n-hexane＞H$_2$O. The three known compounds, sargahydroquinoic acid (1), sargaquinoic acid (2) and sargachromenol (3) showed peroxynitrite-scavenging activities comparable to those of L-ascorbic acid and penicillamine. These results showed a possible antioxidant activity in major constituents of S. thunbergii.

To discover the sources with antioxidative activity in traditional medicines, 100 extracts of Korean medicinal plants were screened for their scavenging effect on peroxynitrite $(ONOO^{-})$ and total reactive oxygen species (ROS). The potency of total ROS scavenging activity was shown in the extracts of 25 plants, and 4 of their species, Macleaya cordata R. Br., Salvia plebeia R. Br., Cassia tora L. and Angelica gigas Nakai, had a greater effect with $IC_{50}$ values of $1.7{\pm}0.36$, $4.3{\pm}1.08$, $4.9{\pm}0.17$ and $5.8{\pm}1.01\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, than that of trolox, positive control $(7.61{\pm}0.12\;{\mu}g/ml)$. Another 35 extracts exhibited inhibitory effect of below 50 percent at $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ of sample concentrations on total ROS, while the rest observed total ROS generators rather than scavengers. The peroxynitrite scavenging activities were observed in the greater part of the plants tested. Five of them, Schisandra chinensis Baill, Campsis grandiflora (Thunb.) K. Schum., Cedrela sinensis A. Juss., Pleuropterus multiflorus Turcz. and Veronica linariaefolia Pall represented scavenging activities on peroxynitrite twice as strong with $IC_{50}$ Values of $0.48{\pm}0.10$, $0.59{\pm}0.15$, $0.60{\pm}0.10$, $0.64{\pm}0.10$ and $0.91{\pm}0.23\;{\mu}g/ml$, respectively, as that of penicillamine $(1.72{\pm}0.05\;{\mu}g/ml)$, positive control. Consequently, 25 species of the entire plants tested, exhibited scavenging activities on total ROS and $ONOO^{-}$, Salvia plebeia R. Br., Macleaya cordata R. Br., Cassia tora L. and Angelica gigas Nakai exerted potent scavenging activities on both radicals.

Peroxynitrite and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) are highly reactive molecules which are generated under oxidative stress condition and during aging. Many proteins in living organism are modified by them and consequently associated with various diseases including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. We hypothesize that peroxynitrite and 4-HNE modified serum proteins are also associated with aging process. To establish information on peroxynitrite and 4-HNE adducted proteins for aging study, we used proteins methods, 2D-PAGE and MALD-TOF MS, to identify modified proteins from young (70month) and old (25-month) rat serum.

지질과산화로부터 생성된 aldehyde 중 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE)는 산화적 손상과 관련된 다량의 arachidonic acids, linoleic acids 등으로부터 생성될 수 있다. 그러므로 HNE는 산화적 스트레스와 관련된 세포사에서 중요한 매개인자로 작용을 할 수가 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 HNE가 세포사를 유발할 것이라 가정하고, 먼저 흰쥐 전립선 유래 내피세포인 YPEN-1 세포에서 세포독성을 측정하였다. 세포생장 저해능력은 HNE를 $5\sim15\;{\mu}M$ 농도로 처리하여 형태적 변화와 MTT assay를 통하여 결과를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 HNE가 이 세포에서 핵형의 변화와 세포사를 유발시키는 것을 각각의 실험을 통해 확인이 되었다. 또한 이 사실을 단백질의 변화를 통하여 확인을 할 수가 있었다. HNE를 24시간 처리한 세포에서 poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 단백질 분절이 매개되었고 Bax의 발현량이 증가하였다. 또한 세포내의 활성 산소종들을 발생시켰다. 이에 생성된 활성 산소종과 peroxynitrite가 세포사와 관련이 있는가를 밝히기 위하여 이들의 포식자들인 N-acetylcysteine과 penicillamine을 본 연구에서 사용하였다. 이들 포식자들에 의해 HNE에 의해 유도되는 세포사가 억제가 되었기에 산화적 활성화가 HNE에 의해 유도된 세포사와 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 HNE가 내피세포에서 ROS와 peroxynitrite 생성을 통하여 세포사를 일으킨다는 사실을 뒷받침해 준다.

Peroxynitrite (ONOO), a potent cytotoxic oxidant formed by the reaction of nitric oxide (ㆍNO) and superoxide radical (ㆍO$_2$), reacts rapidly to cause of oxidization and nitration process. The importance of the regulation of ONOO$^{-}$ has been recently recognized because of the lack of specific endogenous enzymes against ONOO$^{-}$. Coffee that is a complex mixture containing a variety of components has been reported to have both beneficial and hazardous effects.

Oxidative stress is considered to be the major cause of aging and many age-related diseases including Alzheimer's disease. rheumatoid arthritis. cancer. and atherosclerosis. ONO-, a powerful oxidant, can cause damage of proteins, lipid and DNA through nitration and oxidation. (omitted)

This study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of Mori Fructus on the generation of peroxynitrite ($ONOO^-$), nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion radical (${\cdot}O_2{^-}$) in the endothelial cells of rat vessels. The aim of this study was to investigate the $ONOO^-$, NO, ${\cdot}O_2{^-}$ scavenging and anti-inflammatory activitives of Mori Fructus. For this study, the fluorescent probes, namely dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123), 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2) and 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA) were used. Western blotting was performed using anti-NF-${\kappa}B$ (p50, p65), anti-COX-2, anti-iNOS antibodies, respectively. Mori Fructus prevented lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell death in YPEN cells. Mori Fructus inhibited the generation of $ONOO^-$, NO and ${\cdot}O_2{^-}$ in the LPS-treated cells. Mori Fructus inhibited the expression of COX-2 and iNOS genes by means of decreasing the NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. These results suggest Mori Fructus is effective on inhibiting the generation of $ONOO^-$, NO and ${\cdot}O_2{^-}$, and that therefore it might have a potential role as a treatment for the inflammatory process and inflammation-related diseases.
