Abstract
We present a flow cytometry technique to evaluate the antioxidative properties of molecules on living cells, using a stable murine-murine hybridoma (Mark 3) cell line routinely cultured. Using this technique, intracellular superoxide anions and peroxides were evaluated with dihydrorhodamine (DHR-123) and dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA), respectively. When cells were first incubated for 10 min with either H(2)O(2) or the xanthine (X)/xanthine oxidase (XO) system, this flow cytometric technique was capable of evaluating the oxidative stress on cells. Twenty-one new analogues of ellipticine were synthesized and tested for their antioxidative properties compared to vitamin E and Ebselen used as references. A good statistical reflection of the antioxidative activities of these molecules was achieved by analyzing 35 000 cells in each experiment. Among them, the selenated molecule 18 was found to be 10 times more active than Ebselen but 10 000 times less active than vitamin E. Moreover, eight compounds showed glutathione peroxidase-like activities.
