Gallic acid was found to possess antiinflammatory activity towards zymosan-induced acute food pad swelling in mice. In vitro studies on the mode of action of gallic acid revealed that this compound interferes with the functioning of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs). Scavenging of superoxide anions, inhibition of myeloperoxidase release and activity as well as a possible interference with the assembly of active NADPH-oxidase may account for the inhibition of inflammatory process by gallic acid. Structure-activity relationship analysis showed that the o-dihydroxy group of gallic acid is important for the inhibitory activity in vitro.

Tannic acid stimulated the iodination (incorporation of radioactive iodine into an acid-insoluble fraction) of human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) and human promyelocytic leukemic HL-60 cells, without affecting the iodination of 9 other cultured cell lines. The stimulation of both PMN and HL-60 cells depended on incubation time and temperature, and was significantly suppressed by myeloperoxidase inhibitors. Among chemically defined natural polyphenols, condensed tannins (epicatechin gallate oligomers) and monomeric and oligomeric hydrolyzable tannins potently stimulated PMN iodination, whereas polyphenols of lower molecular weight (gallic acid, alkyl gallates, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, caffeic acid derivatives and licorice flavonoids) had much less activity. Various synthetic polyphenolic compounds structurally unrelated to tannins also stimulated PMN iodination depending upon their molecular weight, but to a slightly lesser extent. The results suggest that the stimulation activity of tannins and related polyphenols might depend more on their molecular weights than the number of hydroxyl groups on each benzene ring in the molecule, or the presence of sugars or hexahydroxydiphenoyl groups.

The catalytic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and its conjugates with catalase and polymer peroxidase (p-peroxidase) obtained during covalent binding of enzymes with aldehyde dextrans was indirectly characterized by inhibition of adrenaline autoxidation in 0.1 M bicarbonate buffer, pH 10.2, and in microemulsion of 0.1 M aerosol OT (AOT) and Triton X-45 in octane containing 15% aqueous phase. The polydisulfide of gallic acid (PDGA) effectively inhibited SOD and its conjugates by a mixed mechanism. The inhibition constants Ki for SOD and its conjugate (SOD-catalase)mic in 0.1 M bicarbonate buffer, pH 10.2, were 0.1 and 0.25 microM, respectively. Autoxidation of PDGA by molecular oxygen in alkaline media (pH 10.2) influenced its inhibitory properties in buffer solution and microemulsion of AOT and Triton X-45 in octane. The radical chain mechanism of co-oxidation of adrenaline and PDGA apparently includes the anion radical O2-. as a coupling agent which propagated the chain.

A series of stable quinones and their precursors, and enzymatic oxidation products of plant allelochemicals were tested for their effect on maize fungal pathogens, primarily Fusarium graminearum. Benzoquinone was typically significantly more toxic than hydroquinone, while 1,2-naphthoquinone was typically significantly more toxic than 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene. Aspergillus flavus was the most resistant fungus to these compounds, while Phoma medicaginis was the most susceptible. Applying tyrosinase in conjunction with several phenolic compounds only increased the toxicity of gallic acid to Fusarium graminearum. Applying peroxidase generally increased toxicity of all compounds tested to this fungus in a dose-dependent fashion. Ferulic acid was generally the most toxic compound, both alone and when combined with peroxidase and H2O2, followed by coumaric acid. These results suggest that enzymatic oxidation of plant allelochemicals may result in the generation of products that either are directly toxic to maize pathogens, or indirectly inhibitory due to their ability to tie up nutrients.

Gallic acid polydisulfide (GAPD) inhibits with high efficiency tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) peroxidation at 20 degreesC in reversed aerosol OT (AOT) micelles in heptane with various hydration degrees w0 ranging from 8.3 to 47.2. Like in aqueous medium, the inhibition constant Ki for GAPD is approximately 10(-6) M and decreases with increasing w0 from 15.3 to 25. In AOT micelles with various hydration degree, the initial rates of TMB oxidation catalyzed by peroxidase were determined in the absence of GAPD (v0). Using the dependencies of the induction time of TMB peroxidation on the initial GAPD concentration, the values of the stoichiometric coefficient for inhibition by GAPD (f) were calculated at various hydration degrees of AOT micelles. Increase of hydration degree of AOT micelles is accompanied by a decrease of coefficient f from 30-31 (at low hydration degree) to 11.5-12.5 (at w0 > 30), and this significantly exceeds the f values (2) typical for most known inhibitors.

Photon emission in the hydrogen peroxide/gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system was studied using visible region chemiluminescence. The photon emission intensity showed a pH-dependence curve with a maximum at pH 4.5-5.0. The spectral analysis showed to be at 510 nm and its energy was 61.0 kcal/mol at either pH 4.5 or pH 7.0. In addition, near-infrared spectral analysis at 1270 nm suggested that this photon emission from the hydrogen peroxide/gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system was produced without generation of (1)O(2). The gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system, based on the chemiluminescence system, has superoxide-, hydroxyl radical-scavenging activities and antioxidative activity. These results are strong evidence that the gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system is one of the reactive oxygen scavenging systems.

Kinetics of inactivation of horseradish peroxidase (HP) induced by low-frequency ultrasonic (US) treatment (27 kHz) with the specific power of 60 W/cm2 were studied in phosphate (pH 7.4) and acetate (pH 5.2) buffers within the temperature range of 36.0 to 50.0 degrees C and characterized by effective first-order rate constants of US inactivation k(in)(us) in min(-1). Values of k(in)(us) depend on the specific ultrasonic power within the range of 20-60 W/cm2, on the concentration of HP, and on pH and temperature of the solutions. The activation energy of US inactivation of HP is 9.4 kcal/mole. Scavengers of HO* radicals, mannitol and dimethylformamide, significantly inhibit the US inactivation of HP at 36.0 degrees C, whereas micromolar concentrations of polydisulfide of gallic acid (poly(DSG)) and of poly(2-aminodisulfide-4-nitrophenol) (poly(ADSNP)) virtually completely suppress the US inactivation of peroxidase at the ultrasonic power of 60 W/cm2 on the sonication of the enzyme solutions for more than 1 h at pH 5.2. Various complexes of poly(DSG) with human serum albumin effectively protect HP against the US inactivation in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The findings unambiguously confirm a free radical mechanism of the US inactivation of HP in aqueous solutions. Polydisulfides of substituted phenols are very effective protectors of peroxidase against inactivation caused by US cavitation.

A comparative kinetic study on the poly(gallic acid disulfide) (poly(DSGA)) inhibition of the iodide ion oxidation and on the 2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butyl-N-phenylaniline (butaminophene) inhibition of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation involving human thyroid peroxidase (hTPO) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was performed. The inhibition processes were characterized with the inhibition constants Ki and stoichiometric inhibition coefficients f, indicating the number of radical particles perishing on one inhibitor molecule. In the case of poly(DSGA), the Ki values for the I- oxidation were 0.60 and 0.04 microM, and the coefficients f were 13.6 and 16.5 for hTPO and HRP, respectively, which evidences the regeneration and high effectiveness of the polymeric inhibitor. In the case of butaminophene, the Ki values for TMB oxidation were 38 and 46 microM for hTPO and HRP, respectively. The coefficients f were 1.33 and 1.47, respectively, to reveal that butaminophene does not regenerate. The inhibition mechanisms for I- and TMB oxidation involving the two peroxidases are discussed.

The 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)/H2O2/horseradish peroxidase (ABTS/H2O2/HRP) decoloration method permits the evaluation of the antioxidant activity of complex food samples. This method is capable of determining both hydrophilic (in buffered media) and lipophilic (in organic media) antioxidant properties in the same sample. Its application to the study of the antioxidant properties of grapes, one white and two black, has permitted us to establish important differences in the antioxidant activity. The black grapes showed higher antioxidant activity than the white variety. The determination of hydrophilic antioxidant activity (HAA) and lipophilic antioxidant activity (LAA) in the three grapes showed that a minor contribution (4-13%) of total antioxidant activity (TAA) was due to LAA in all cases. The experimentally determined HAA could be approximated using the relative contributions of the calculated values of reference compounds (total phenols as gallic acid and anthocyanins as malvidin).

We have developed an in vitro assay system for the evaluation of the inhibitory effects of phenolic antioxidants on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The formation of dityrosine from the MPO/H2O2/L-tyrosine system was used as an indicator of the MPO activity. Because the buffer system used does not include chloride ion, this assay has the advantage of exclusion of direct reaction between an antioxidant and HOCl. In this assay, ferulic acid, gallic acid, and quercetin strongly inhibited the dityrosine formation, and curcumin and caffeic acid were also effective.
