Calf thymus DNA was oxidized by Fenton's reagent with or without synthetic antioxidants (Trolox and DMPO) and natural antioxidants-quercetin, apigenin, 2''-O-glycosylisovitexin (2''-O-GIV), (+)-catechin, cyanidin, pelargonidin, keracyanin, and callistephin. Malonaldehyde (MA) formed in oxidized DNA was analyzed using gas chromatography. MA formed from oxidized DNA without antioxidants was 4.0 +/- 0.53 nmol/mg of DNA in buffer solution, 3.7 +/- 0.34 nmol/mg of DNA in NaOH solution, and 4.6 +/- 0.19 nmol/mg of DNA in HCl solution. MA formed from DNA with antioxidants (at the level of 0.1 micromol/mL) ranged from 1.90 +/- 0.18 (catechin) to 4.10 +/- 0.18 nmol/mg of DNA (cyanidin). Trolox and DMPO inhibited MA formation from DNA by 41.2% and 18.6%, respectively, at the level of 0.1 micromol/mL. Trolox (water-soluble vitamin E) exhibited dose-dependent inhibition. The decreasing order of inhibitory effect by flavonoids at the level of 0.1 micromol/mL was catechin (48.5%) > quercetin (47.1%) > 2''-O-GIV (40.5%) > apigenin (29.9%) and by the anthocyanins at the level of 0.1 micromol/mL was callistephin (45%) > keracyanin (33.2%) > pelargonidin (25.1%) > cyanidin (10.2%).
