Effect of novel water-soluble phenolic antioxidants on cell viability: structure-activity relationships
Abstract
In order to investigate cytotoxicity of structurally similar synthetic water-soluble sulfur- and selenium-containing monophenolic antioxidants, their effect on the viability of monocyte/macrophage U937 cells has been studied in normal conditions and under oxidative stress. All tested compounds showed low toxicity (IC50 = 0.3 mM), with the exception of selenium-containing analog (IC50 = 80 mM). At that, partially hindered phenol with one ortho-tert-butyl and a bivalent sulfur atom in the para-propyl substituent TS-13 at low doses increased the number of viable cells in vitro in normal conditions and when incubated with the cytotoxic concentrations of H2O2, probably due to inhibition of the apoptotic processes.
