17. Free radicals and their role in pathological processes development.

Peroxidative lipid oxidation – non-saturated fatty acids free-radical oxidation. These fatty acids are cellular membranes phospholipids compounds.

Free radicals are PLO triggers. The most important are following: *O2 _ or (HO2*) – superoxide radical; OH* - hydroxile radical; H+ - hydrogen radical; *O2 – singlet (excited) oxygen.

Singlet oxygen is formed at light quant absorbtion by triplet oxygen. It can be produced in the cell at reactions catalized by peroxidases, catalazes. It can be free-radical oxidation (FRO) trigger in cholesterol and non-saturated fatty acids peroxidative oxidation, inhibit microsomic oxidation enzymes, cause DNA ruptures, serve as mutagen. Its inhibitors are: water, cholesterol, hystidine, methionine, beta-carotine, tocopherol, asorbate.

Ozone is formed in atmosphere at electrical spark. It is similar to biradical. It initiates poly-saturated fatty acids autooxidation. Its action to human organism is similar to NO action to it. It causes the hardest injuries in lungs.

Superoxideanionradical - is produced in mitochondria, at methaemoglobine appearance (particularly nitrate intoxication), in microsomes, in iron- and copper-containing systems. Superoxidedismutase (SOD) is its major inhibitor. This radical actively induces and contiunues PLO chain as well as modifies membraines fluidity. SOD, probably, participates in proliferation regulating.

Hydroxile radical –is produced at water radiolysis and is lipids FRO main trigger. Its inhibitors are alpha-tocopherol, bioflavonoids, beta-carotine, ascorbate, reducted glutathione.

Hydrogen peroxide is produced at flavin-, copper- and haem-containing peroxidases functioning. Catalase and peroxidases eliminate hydrogen peroxide. This free radical participates in gene expression, in nuclear membrane decomposition and renewal.

Reactions which are on the base of lipids peroxidative oxidation.

Primary radical (A*) which appeared in the cell interacts with non-saturated fatty acid molecule (RH), as the result of which this acid free radical (R*) is formed as well as reaction molecular product (HA):

A*+RH=R*+HA.

Fatty acid free radical after its formation interacts with molecular oxygen which is present always in the cell – peroxide radical of this acid appears as a result of this (ROO*).

R*+O2=ROO*

Peroxide radical, in turn, interacts with non-saturated acid new molecule. Hydroperoxide (ROOH) and new free radical is formed in course of this reaction:

ROO*+RH=ROOH+R*

PLO main peculiarities:

  1. reactions chain character: free radicals are not destroyed during PLO but new and new molecules of non-saturated fatty acids are involved in the process;

  2. branched character: free radicals are appeared in increasing amount the source of which are PLO intermediate products themselves; example of this is free radicals formation from lipids hydroperoxides while their interaction with metals of changing covalence: ROOH+Fe3+=RO*+OH-+Fe3+.

  3. Since free radicals little quantity is formed constantly in normal biochemical reactions in organism there is constant danger in organism of POL activation. But it doesn’t occur under physiological conditions because any cell possesses powerful antioxidant mechanisms.
