Abstract

A new method is reported for the assessment of the HO· scavenging action of therapeutic agents. It is based on the photolysis of zinc oxide and has a detection limit of 3.3%. The scavenging order of the compounds tested was penicillamine > rentiapril > ascorbic acid > cysteine > glutathione > thiomalic acid > N-acetylcysteine > myocrysin > methionine. None were as effective as DMSO. argued that these compounds can have an in vivo protective effect where HO· is produced from oxidant producing cells, thus limiting radical induced damage.
