The aim of these experiments was to investigate the radical scavenging properties of three diuretics: indapamide (IND) and its major metabolite, 5-OH indapamide (5-OH IND), compared to a reference diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide (HTZ). Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) was used to determine the scavenging abilities of these compounds on enzymatically produced superoxide radical anion, with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) used as a spin-trap. These experiments revealed that IND and specially 5-OH IND were effective superoxide radical anion scavengers at 0.2 mg/ml. In the second part of these studies, allophycocyanin was used as an indicator of free radical mediated protein damage. In the assay, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH) was used as a peroxyl radical generator, Trolox (a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E) as a control standard, and the loss of allophycocyanin fluorescence was monitored. The antioxidant effects of the diuretics were expressed in oxygen-radical absorbing capacity (ORAC), where one ORAC unit equals the net protection produced by 1 microM Trolox. HTZ showed no protection up to 100 microM final concentration, whereas IND and 5-OH IND showed linear correlation with respect to concentration when expressed in ORAC units: 5-OH IND induced the highest protection against peroxyl radical. The above observations suggested that IND and 5-OH IND are potent radical scavengers, with the metabolite 5-OH IND having a superior antioxidant potency than IND. By contrast, HTZ had no effect. These radical scavenging properties of 5-OH IND may be of clinical interest for vascular protection and may help to protect the heart from oxidative injury.
