Free radical scavenging properties of Carnosine and related compounds

Fu, H.*; Katsumura, Yosuke; Lin, M.; Muroya, Yusa*; Hata, Kuniki ; Fujii, Kentaro; Yokoya, Akinari

The transient spectral properties and rate constants of the free radical scavenger carnosine reacting with various one-electron oxidants such as $$^{.}$$OH, Br$$_{2}$$$$^{-.}$$, N$$_{3}$$$$^{.}$$, and CCl$$_{3}$$OO$$^{.}$$ have been studied by pulse radiolysis techniques. Carnosine and its related compounds (CRC) also offer protection to plasmid DNA against X-ray radiation induced damages. Our data demonstrated that carnosine and CRC may play an important role in the maintenance of the antioxidant system.
