5 DID EXIST ANY PREVIOUS JOB? Title: PHYCOERYTHRIN FLUORESCENCE-BASED ASSAY FOR PEROXY-RADICALS - A SCREEN FOR BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT PROTECTIVE AGENTS Author(s): DELANGE RJ, GLAZER AN Source: ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY Volume: 177 Issue: 2 Pages: Published: MAR 1989 Times Cited: 99

6 WHAT ARE THE MAIN DISADVANTAGES OF THAT METHOD? 1. IT IS NOT CAPABLE OF QUANTITATING RESULTS 2. IT IS LIMITATED ONLY TO SCREENING THE RADICAL SCAVENING CAPACITY OF THE SAMPLE

7 Basic definitions for easy understanding of the PRINCIPLES of different analytical methods for assessing total antioxidant capacity REDUCTION= A GAIN OF ELECTRONS OXIDATION= A LOSS OF ELECTRONS REDUCTANT OR REDUCING AGENT= A SUBSTANCE THAT DONATES ELECTRONS AND CAUSES TO ANOTHER REACTANT TO BE REDUCED OXIDANT OR OXIDATING AGENT= A SUBSTANCE THAT ACCEPTS ELECTRONS AND CAUSES ANOTHER REACTANT TO BE OXIDIZED ANTIOXIDANT= SUBSTANCE THAT WHEN PRESENT AT LOW CONCENTRATIONS COMPARED WITH THOSE OF AN OXIDIZABLE SUBSTRATE, SIGNIFICANTLY PREVENTS OR DELAYS A PRO-OXIDANT INITIATED OXIDATION OF THE SUBSTRATE PRO-OXIDANT= SUBSTANCE THAT CAN CAUSE OXIDATIVE DAMAGE TO LIPIDS, PROTEINS AND NUECLEIC ACIDS. IT SYNONYM FOR REACTIVE SPECIES. CHEMICALLY, IT IS AN OXIDANT. AN ANTIOXIDANT CAN EFFICIENTLY REDUCE A PRO-OXIDANT

8 REACTIVE SPECIES IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTMES: HYDROXYL RADICALS ( OH) SUPEROXIDE ANIONS (O 2- ) SINGLET OXYGEN ( 1 O 2 ) HYDROGEN PEROXIDES (H 2 O 2 ) ORGANIC PEROXIDES (R-OOH) NITRIC OXIDE PEROXYNITRITE

9 DEFINITION OF ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY ABILITY OF A COMPOUND TO REDUCE PRO- OXIDANTS OR REACTIVE SPECIES OF PATHOLOGIC SIGNIFICANCE

10 AN ANTIOXIDANT IS A REDUCTANT, BUT A REDUCTANT IS NOT NECESSARILY AN ANTIOXIDANT Na, GLUCOSE, ETHANOL AND MANY OTHER REDUCTANT ARE NOT ANTIOXIDANTS

11 DIETARY ANTIOXIDANTS ESSENTIAL VITAMINE E (TOCOPHEROL) VITAMINE C (ASCORBIC ACID) VITAMIN A (RETINOL AND CAROTENOIDS) NUMEROUS MINERALS (Cu, Mn, Zn, Se, Fe) NON-ESSENTIAL GLUTATHIONE, SMALL PEPTIDES PHYTOCHEMICALS (THOUNDS IN FOOD SUPPLY)

12 Basis of the ORAC assay Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generators 1. Thermal control chemical generator a. Aqueous soluble b. Lipid soluble 2. Hydrogen peroxide, superoxide generator 3. Radiation related hydroxyl radical generator ROS (R, ROO, O -, H 2 O 2, OH) 2 ANTIOXIDANTS λ Exc =540 nm OXIDATION Decreased 565 nm emission fluorescence light βpe INDICATOR PROTEIN Oxidation

Values given are for most common reported aggregates; aggregates of both larger and smaller size may occur. 3 Value for Phycoerythrin 566 is an estimate. 4 An approximate relative indicator of the quantum efficiency of the pigment (measured at absorbance and emission maxima)

16 Phycobiliproteins are water soluble fluorescent proteins derived from cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. Nomenclature: Phycobiliproteins are classified on the basis of their color into two large groups, the phycoerythrins (red) and the phycocyanins (blue). Absorption maxima for phycoerythrins lie between 490 and 570 nm while absorption maxima for phycocyanins are found between 610 and 665 nm. These large groups have been subdivided to reflect variation among the proteins in the exact location of the absorbance maximum and the specific shape of the absorbance spectrum.

17 The B-phycoerythrin (B-PE) protein is the major light-harvesting pigment of red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum. B-PE finds application mainly in the pharmaceutical sector as fluorescent probe in biomedical analysis, and also in the food and cosmetics industries. In spite of its numerous uses, however, its large-scale purification remains problematic and expensive. B-PE is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a fluorescent probe and reagent. It is also utilised as a natural dye in the food and cosmetics industries due to its high fluorescence efficiency. The protein's purification from algal extracts involves a number of often-crude, highly complex steps, many of which are non-scaleable and result in unsatisfactory yields.

18

19 WHY DID THE AUTHORS SELECT B-PE AS FLUORESCENCE PORBE? 1. B-PE S DISTINCT EXCITATION AND EMISSION WAVELENGTHS 2. HIGH FLUORESCENCE YIELD 3. SENSITIVITY TO ROS 4. WATER SOLUBILITY

20

21 How to classify ORAC assay? INHIBITION METHOD Antioxidant capacity of the antioxidant Involve a pro-oxidant and oxidizable substrate The pro-oxidant induces oxidative damage to the substrate which is inhibited in the presence of an antioxidant ORAC ASSAY MEASURES THE CAPICITY OF THE ANTIOXIDANT TO DIRECTLY QUENCH FREE RADICALS Very high molar ratio of AAPH to antioxidants (mora than 2000)

22 ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO PREVIOUS METHODS 1. The use of peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals as pro-oxidants in the ORAC assay makes its different and unique from the assays that involve oxidants that are necessarily prooxidants. 2. An improve in quantitation is achieved in ORAC assay by: a) Taking the reaction between substrate and free radicals to completation b) Using an area-under-curve technique for quantitation compared to the assay that measure the lag phase.

36 ARE THERE OTHER REASONS FOR CHANGING THE FLUORESCENCE PROBE? 1. DIFFERENT PEs, SUCH AS B-PE AND R-PE, POSSESS DIFERENT FLUORESCENCE INTENSITY AND REACTIVITY TO PEROXY RADICAL 2. DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE SAME PE WITH DIFFERENT LOTS 3. A SINGLE PE LOT NUMBER SHOULD BE USED FOR A PLANNED PROJECT

76 WHAT ABOUT CONCLUSIONS?

77 Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of Selected Foods This database contains ORAC data for 277 food items and represents a collaboration between the Nutrient Data Laboratory, Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center and the Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.

78 The database will be used by scientists to help guide ongoing research into how antioxidants may correlate to health benefits. For example, many fruits and vegetables are known to be good sources of antioxidant vitamins, such as E, C, and beta carotene, a form of vitamin A. But these natural foods also contain other compounds, collectively known as phytonutrients, that may contribute to health.

90 HMW MRPs contain reductone and amino reductone structures, which provide a potential for reducing and metal chelation activities, both of which are relevant to the antioxidant mechanisms noted formrps. In the present study, all three sugar-lysine HMW MRPs displayed a similar, significant capacity to scavenge DDPH radicals, which was also found for earlier products of the MR generated from heated histidine-xylose reactants. Measuring total antioxidant activity of MRPs by the ORAC method provided an excellent basis for assessing MRP scavenging capacity for oxygen radicals between different sugar reactant sources. It is of interest that the ORAC activity of all three HMW MRPs was not only similar when expressed in Trolox equivalents, but also agree well with the DPPH measurements. Moreover, the Trolox equivalent for all three MRP HMW mixtures far exceeds the total antioxidant activity determined previously for ORAC measures of different soft fruits, such as strawberries (approx. 150 μmol Trolox/g dry matter [dm]), blueberries (approx. 200 μmol Trolox/g dm), and raspberries (approx.100 μmol Trolox/g dm). The potential for a large contribution from HMW MRPs to total antioxidant intake, in terms of ORAC values, suggests that the estimated mmol Trolox/day value proposed for US consumers may be underestimated if MRPs derived from processed foods are considered in the ORAC range for total antioxidant intake.

91 WHAT OTHER REACTIONS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE OVERALL ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF PROCESSED FOODS?

92 WHAT DID WE DO?

93

94 DOES THE METHOD NEED FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS?

95 WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT THAT? Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values have been obtained for a series of teas and herbal infusions employing 2,20-azobis (2-amidinopropane) as free radical source, and fluorescein and pyrogallol red as target molecules. The amounts of phenols in the extracts were evaluated by Folin s methodology. ORAC values are extremely dependent upon the employed target molecule. Even more, relative ORAC values measured for different infusions depend upon the employed methodology. For example, ORAC-fluorescein value of Aloysia citriodora is larger than that of green tea, while if pyrogallol red is employed as target molecule green tea appears as nearly nine times more efficient. Similarly, for extracts with comparable amounts of phenols, herbal infusions are more efficient than teas by ORAC fluorescein, while opposite conclusions are obtained if ORAC-pyrogallol red values are considered. Extreme care must then be taken for conclusions obtained from ORAC values estimated by employing a single target molecule.

96 IS THERE MORE WORK LEFT TO BE DONE? WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO? FEEL FREE YOURSELF TO MAKE PROPOSALS. THE DISCUSSION SECTION IS OFICIALLY OPENED
