A reliable procedure for comparison of antioxidants in rat brain homogenates.

Abstract：

:Lipid peroxidation is a major consequence of oxidative stress and an important cause of neuronal damage in ischaemic injuries and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Recent research has focused on the development of antioxidant drugs which may delay or minimize neurodegeneration. Rapid and reliable assays are therefore necessary in order to evaluate novel antioxidant compounds. A widely adopted method for measurement of lipid peroxidation is the thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) assay. Several variations of this method have appeared in the literature, some of which have been tested by us without success. We have therefore established a reliable procedure which takes into account the most important factors previously found to influence the TBARS method. Briefly, various concentrations of drug were added to rat brain homogenates (10% w/v in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4) and incubated at 37 degrees C for 10 min before addition of ammonium ferric sulphate (100 or 1000 microM) and a further incubation at 37 degrees C for 30 min. Proteins were then precipitated with 8.1% sodium dodecyl sulphate, the reaction stopped with 20% acetic acid, and the samples were then centrifuged for 15 min. Aliquots of supernatant were added to an equal volume of thiobarbituric acid (0.8%), samples were heated at 95 degrees C for 30 min, and then cooled on ice before reading at 532 nm. The present adaptation represents a simple and highly reproducible assay which does not require difficult extraction procedures with hazardous chemicals and results in a stable chromagen. The method has been evaluated using a number of structurally distinct antioxidants and iron chelators. IC50 values (microM) for percentage inhibition of TBARS formation were as follows: desferroxamine (1.1), U83836E (1.7), butylated hydroxytoluene (13), U74500A (20), LY231617 (22), idebenone (89), and Trolox (110). This order of potency was comparable to that found with a commercially available, but expensive kit designed to specifically measure malondialdehyde (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, p < 0.01).
