ABSTRACT
Leucoselect is a commercial dry product obtained from grape seeds and enriched in procyanidins, which display antioxidant activity in virtue to their ability to scavenge oxygen free radicals and to chelate transition metal ions. The hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase and Cu2+/ascorbate systems are capable of generating reactive oxygen species; the latter system can also promote non-specific binding of copper ions to proteins. Therefore, we assessed the ability of Leucoselect to inhibit oxidative phenomena elicited by both oxidative systems on rat liver microsomes lipid peroxidation, oxidation of protein thiols, and inhibition of the cytochrome P450 system. The antioxidant activity of Leucoselect was a reflection of its ability to scavenge oxygen free radicals, chelate copper ions, and protect microsomal membranes through direct interaction. These mechanisms were displayed in a dependent manner with the type of biomolecule studied and also with the oxidative system employed, which is an interesting phenomenon to consider when evaluating the antioxidant activity of herbal products.
RESUMEN
Leucoselect es un producto comercial seco obtenido de semillas de uva y enriquecido en procianidinas, las cuales presentan actividad antioxidante debido a su capacidad para atrapar radicales libres y quelar metales de transición. Los sistemas hipoxantina/xantina oxidasa y Cu2+/ascorbato generan especies reactivas del oxígeno; este último sistema también promueve la unión inespecífica de iones cobre a proteínas. Por lo tanto, evaluamos la capacidad de Leucoselect para inhibir los fenómenos oxidativos producidos por ambos sistemas oxidantes en microsomas hepáticos de rata lipoperoxidación, oxidación de tioles proteicos e inhibición de la actividad del sistema citocromo P450. La actividad antioxidante de Leucoselect fue un reflejo de su capacidad de atrapar radicales libres del oxígeno, quelar iones cobre y proteger membranas microsómicas por interacción directa. Dichos mecanismos se manifestaron en forma dependiente del tipo de biomolécula estudiada y del sistema oxidante empleado, fenómeno interesante de considerar al evaluar la actividad antioxidante de preparados herbales.
