A hitherto unemployed method combination, differential pulse voltammetry, mass spectrometry (nano-ESI MS), deoxyribose degradation and iron(II) autoxidation assays has been employed for studying of their redox chemistry and their interactions with iron(II) and iron(III) ions. Both acids inhibited the Fenton reaction by iron chelation and ROS scavenging in the deoxyribose degradation assay. In the iron(II) autoxidation assay, anthranilic acid showed antioxidant effects, whereas 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid exhibited apparent pro-oxidant activity. The differential pulse voltammograms of free metabolites and their iron(II) coordination complexes reflected these properties. Nano-ESI MS confirmed ANA and 3-HANA as efficient iron(II) chelators, both of which form coordination complexes of ligand:iron(II) ratio 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1. In addition, nano-ESI MS analyses of the oxidation effects by hydroxyl radical attack identified 3-HANA as strikingly more susceptible than ANA. 3-HANA susceptibility to oxidation may explain its decreased concentrations in the reaction mixture. The presented observations can add to explaining why 3-HANA levels decrease in patients with some neurological and other diseases which can often associated with elevated concentrations of ROS.

One hypothesis states that plant defense compounds determine endophyte community structure. Another hypothesis suggests that they just facilitate the endophytic lifestyle by exerting a balanced antagonism. To explore this, a representative selection of endophytic bacterial and fungal isolates from this tree species was assayed together with six non-endophytic strains to determine their tolerance and susceptibility to the root and leaf extract fraction containing high and low drimane sesquiterpene amounts respectively. Inhibitory effects were explored by assessing both growth and growth efficiency, the latter of which relates respiratory activity to growth. The susceptibility of the tested strains showed considerable variation and the obtained patterns did not allow a clear distinction between root and leaf endophytes as well as endophytes and non-endophytes. In addition, all strains were also assayed against juglone, an antimicrobial and redox-active aromatic naphthoquinone. A comparison of differential pulse voltammograms and efficacy in variants of the deoxyribose degradation assay revealed that drimane sesquiterpenes possess anti- and pro-oxidant activities that compare to those of juglone. Leaf endophytes showed higher resistance to oxidative stress than root endophytes, quite contrary to the actual exposure. The obtained results support the notion that structural diverse plant defense compounds can contribute to a balanced antagonismagainst but not to structuring of endophyte communities.

Diverse methodologies exist for studying redox properties of synthetic and natural chemicals. The latter are substantial components of our diet. Exploration of their contribution to life-extending or -compromising effects is mandatory. Among reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-center dot) is the most damaging species. Due to its short half-life, the assay has to contain a specific generation system. Plants synthesize flavonoids, phenolic compounds recognized as counter-agents to coronary heart disease. Their antioxidant activities are affected by their hydroxylation patterns. Moreover, in the plant, they mainly occur as glycosides. We chose three derivatives, quercetin, luteolin, and rutin, in attempts to explore their redox chemistry in contrasting hydrogen peroxide environments. Initial addition of hydrogen peroxide in high concentration or gradual development constituted a main factor affecting their redox chemical properties, especially in case of quercetin. Our study exemplifies that a combination of a chemical assay (deoxyribose degradation) with an electrochemical method (square-wave voltammetry) provides insightful data. The ambiguity of the tested flavonoids to act either as anti- or pro-oxidant may complicate categorization, but probably contributed to their evolution as components of a successful metabolic system that benefits both producer and consumer."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Austrian Science Fund (FWF) [P24630-B21]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3390/ijms140611830"],["dc.identifier.isi","000320772500063"],["dc.identifier.pmid","23736691"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/9484"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/29698"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Mdpi Ag"],["dc.relation.issn","1422-0067"],["dc.rights","CC BY 3.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0"],["dc.title","Versatile Redox Chemistry Complicates Antioxidant Capacity Assessment: Flavonoids as Milieu-Dependent Anti- and Pro-Oxidants"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]Details DOI PMID PMC WOS2018Journal Article Research Paper [["dc.bibliographiccitation.firstpage","3917"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.issue","12"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.journal","International Journal of Molecular Sciences"],["dc.bibliographiccitation.volume","19"],["dc.contributor.affiliation","Chobot, Vladimir;
