Abstract

A Fe-EGTA(ethylene glycol-bis (β-aminoethyl ether)-,,','-tetraacetic acid)-HO system emits photons, and quenching this chemiluminescence can be used for determination of anti-hydroxyl radical (•OH) activity of various compounds. The generation of •OH and light emission due to oxidative damage to EGTA may depend on the buffer and pH of the reaction milieu. In this study, we evaluated the effect of pH from 6.0 to 7.4 (that may occur in human cells) stabilized with 10 mM phosphate buffer (main intracellular buffer) on a chemiluminescence signal and the ratio of this signal to noise (light emission from medium alone). The highest signal (4698 ± 583 RLU) and signal-to-noise ratio (9.7 ± 1.5) were noted for pH 6.6. Lower and higher pH caused suppression of these variables to 2696 ± 292 RLU, 4.0 ± 0.8 at pH 6.2 and to 3946 ± 558 RLU, 5.0 ± 1.5 at pH 7.4, respectively. The following processes may explain these observations: enhancement and inhibition of •OH production in lower and higher pH; formation of insoluble Fe(OH) at neutral and alkaline environments; augmentation of •OH production by phosphates at weakly acidic and neutral environments; and decreased regeneration of Fe-EGTA in an acidic environment. Fe-EGTA-HO system in 10 mM phosphate buffer pH 6.6 seems optimal for the determination of anti-•OH activity.
