Structure−Activity Relationship of the Free-Radical-Scavenging Reaction by Vitamin E (α-, β-, γ-, δ-Tocopherols) and Ubiquinol-10:  pH Dependence of the Reaction Rates

Abstract: The reaction rates (ks) of vitamin E (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherols, TocH), ubiquinol-10, and related antioxidants (tocol, ubiquinol-0, and hydroquinone) with aroxyl (ArO(.-)) radical have been measured in micellar solution by stopped-flow spectrophotometer. The ks values increased in the order of hydroquinone < tocol < delta-TocH < ubiquinol-0 < gamma-TocH approximately beta-TocH < ubiquinol-10 < alpha-TocH at pH 4 approximately 8. The antioxidants which have lower oxidation potentials showed highe… Show more

“…The free radical scavenging reactivity at pH 4-8 is in the order ␣-tocopherolϾ␤-tocopherolϭ␥-tocopherolϾ ␦-tocopherolϾtocol (18,30). Therefore, the antiproliferative effects of the four tocopherol isomers and tocol on HSCs and HSC-T6 cells appear to be different compared to their antioxidant activities.…”

“…7 Furthermore, an increase in oxidative stress has been postulated as potentially damaging for the tunica albuginea in acute phase of the disease. 8 Coenzyme Q 10 (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-decaprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone, CoQ 10 ) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like quinone commonly known as ubiquinone or ubidecarenone. Ubiquinone is reduced to ubiquinole (CoQ 10 H 2 ) via semiubiquinone radical (CoQ 10 H).…”

“…9 The fully reduced form of CoQ 10 (CoQ 10 H 2 ) exerts strong effects against the oxidative damage of polyunsaturated fatty acids. 10,11 It is to be noted that CoQ 10 is known to be the only endogenously synthesized lipid-soluble antioxidant. 9 Decreased CoQ 10 levels in serum, 12 as well as a decrease of the CoQ 10 H 2 /CoQ 10 ratio, 13 have been demonstrated in diseases associated with oxidative stress.…”
