Abstract: | To assess the efficacy of conjugated quercetin metabolites as attenuators for oxidative stress in the central nervous system, we measured the 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE)-dependent formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pheochromocytoma PC-12 cells in the presence of quercetin 3-O-β-glucuronide (Q3GA) and related compounds. A 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin (DCFH) assay showed that Q3GA significantly suppressed the formation of ROS, when it was coincubated with 13-HPODE (coincubation system). However, it was less effective than quercetin aglycon in the concentration range from 0.5 to 10 μM. In an experiment in which the cells were incubated with the test compounds for 24 h before being exposed to 13-HPODE, Q3GA was also effective in suppressing the formation of ROS in spite that little Q3GA was taken up into the cells. These results suggest that antioxidative metabolites of quercetin are capable of protecting nerve cells from attack of lipid hydroperoxides. |
