摘要:
The aim of this work was to clarify the influences of the position of hydroxyl group and furo[2,3-b] moiety on the antioxidant effectiveness of quinoline. Thus, 4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinolin-6-ol (PFQ), 4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinolin-8-ol (OFQ), and 4-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]quinolin-7-ol (MFQ) were synthesized by a recyclization reaction of 1-acetyl-N-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide in the presence of SnCl4 as the catalyst. The antioxidant capacities of PFQ, OFQ, and MFQ were evaluated in the experimental system of the oxidation of DNA caused by Cu2+/glutathione (GSH), (OH)-O-aEuro cent, and 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane hydrochloride) (AAPH). OFQ and PFQ were able to protect DNA against Cu2+/GSH- and (OH)-O-aEuro cent-induced oxidation because the furo[2,3-b] moiety was beneficial for stabilizing the produced furoquinoline radical. Moreover, MFQ can decrease the oxidation rate of AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA, while PFQ and OFQ can inhibit AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA for a period. The data obtained from AAPH-induced oxidation of DNA were treated by chemical kinetic method; it was found that PFQ and OFQ can trap 1.3 and 1.5 radicals, respectively. Therefore, the hydroxyl group at different positions changed the mechanism of furoquinoline in protecting DNA against radical-induced oxidation.Effects on Cu2+/glutathione-, (OH)-O-aEuro cent-, and peroxyl radical-induced oxidation of DNA.
