ESTIMATION OF ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF 5,10,15,20-TETRAKIS(4-HYDROXYPENYL)PORPHYRINE BASED ON ELECTROCHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL RESEARCHES

Abstract

The antioxidant activity of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin was established by a test reaction of interaction with free-radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). A cyclic voltammetry method was used to research the interaction of porphyrin and DPPH. According to the results of the completed research, it was established that H2T(4-OHPh) P has the highest antioxidant activity among all the porphyrins compounds studied by us. The results of the electrochemical experiment served as a basis for testing antioxidant qualities of porphyrin on living creatures – chickens of the “Moscow-black” breed. Chickens were divided into 5 groups: the control group was given the basic ration, the first — the basic ration + 1% ascorbic acid solution, the second — the basic ration + an aqueous solution of Twin-80, the third — the basic ration + an aqueous solution of Twin-80 with porphyrin (10–3 mol/l), the fourth - basic ration + aqueous solution of Twin-80 with porphyrin (10-4 mol/l). In the course of the experiment, the chickens were orally administered the 2 ml solutions studied once a day in for 14 days. Wherein no disturbance of physiological condition of the chickens was noticed, as well as any considerable change of body mass or causes of death. The introduction solution Twin-80 does not impair the blood indexes. In all four experimental groups, a decrease in the concentration of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) was observed compared to the control group: the best result - a decrease in MDA by 56% is observed in the fourth group. In the three groups an increase in serum level of ceruloplasmin was observed. The greatest increase in the concentration of CP also occurs in the fourth group of chickens. With the introduction of ascorbic acid a decrease in CP relative to the control group is not observed. How it was established the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-hydroxyphenyl)porphyrin with concentrations of 10-4 mole/l decline the amount of malonic dialdehyde and increases the amount of ceruloplasmin in blood, which leads to lowering the activity of oxidizing processes in a living organism and also empowers the protein synthesizing function of the liver.
