Determination of superoxide dismutase and SOD-mimetic activities by a chemical system: Co2/H2O2/lucigenin
2011
The bright chemiluminescence has been observed in the system: Co2+/hydrogen peroxide/lucigenin. The chemiluminescence intensity was directly proportional to either cobalt, hydrogen peroxide, or lucigenin concentrations. A procedure of determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity by the chemiluminescence method in the cobalt–hydrogen peroxide–lucigenin system at pH 8.5 is suggested. A linear dependence was established between a relative chemiluminescence intensity and SOD concentration in the range of SOD concentrations between 0 and 4.5 nM, c 1/2 = 0.8 nM. The determination of SOD activity was performed in several tissue samples (rat plasma, erythrocyte hemolysate, and liver mitochondria). A technique of tissue sample preparation with the use of thermal inactivation of interfering proteins at 60 °C was used. The method was successfully applied for comparison of the efficiency of SOD mimetics.
