Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2011 March 10
A kinetic study of the quenching reaction of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) with pyrroloquinolinequinol (PQQH(2), a reduced form of pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ)), PQQNa(2) (disodium salt of PQQ), and seven kinds of natural antioxidants (vitamin C (Vit C), uric acid (UA), epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), α-tocopherol (α-Toc), ubiquinol-10 (UQ(10)H(2)), and β-carotene (β-Car)) has been performed. The second-order rate constants k(Q) (k(Q) = k(q) + k(r), physical quenching and chemical reaction) for the reaction of (1)O(2) with PQQH(2), PQQNa(2), and seven kinds of antioxidants were measured in 5.0 wt % Triton X-100 micellar solution (pH 7.4), using UV-visible spectrophotometry. The k(Q) values decreased in the order of β-Car > PQQH(2) > α-Toc > UA > UQ(10)H(2) > Vit C ∼ EGC > EC ≫ PQQNa(2). PQQH(2) is a water-soluble antioxidant. The singlet oxygen-quenching activity of PQQH(2) was found to be 6.3, 2.2, 6.1, and 22 times as large as the corresponding those of water-soluble antioxidants (Vit C, UA, EGC, and EC). Further, the activity of PQQH(2) was found to be 2.2 and 3.1 times as large as the corresponding activity of lipid-soluble antioxidants (α-Toc and UQ(10)H(2)). On the other hand, the activity of PQQH(2) is 6.4 times as small as that of β-Car. It was observed that the chemical reaction (k(r)) is almost negligible in the quenching reaction of (1)O(2) by PQQH(2). The result suggests that PQQH(2) may contribute to the protection of oxidative damage in biological systems, by quenching (1)O(2).
