Abstract
We have previously shown that the heteroaromatic antioxidant oxibiol (N-acetylcysteinate 6-hydroxy-2-aminobenzothiazole) inhibited the process of fructosylation of serum albumin. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the inhibitory effect of oxibiol on protein modification by photodestruction products of bisretinoid A2E, the main fluorophore of lipofuscin granules of retinal pigment epithelium cells of the human eye. It was found that the water-soluble fraction obtained from A2E-liposomes irradiated with visible light, unlike the water-soluble fraction from nonirradiated A2E-liposomes, significantly modified albumin after a day of incubation at 37°C. Oxibiol at millimolar concentrations effectively inhibited this process. The inhibitory effect of oxibiol was probably based on its antioxidant activity and the ability to competitively interact with reactive aldehydes formed during the photo-oxidative destruction of A2E-cardiolipin liposomes. The acute toxicity of oxibiol in mice with intraperitoneal administration was studied and the values of LD10 and LD50 were determined. The results indicated the promising use of oxibiol in pharmacology for the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with the development of oxidative stress in various fields of medicine, primarily in ophthalmology.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
