We have developed a photometric, platereader-based microassay for superoxide anion scavenging activity in vitro. Superoxide anions were generated using a xanthine oxidase/hypoxanthine system and detected by following the reduction of ferricytochrome c at 550 nM. Inhibitory activity was assessed for superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the superoxide anion scavengers tiron and TEMPO together with a number of TEMPO derivatives. The initial rate of change in optical density (OD) at 550 nm, i.e., initial reaction rate, generated by xanthine oxidase (20 mU/ml)/hypoxanthine (100 mu M) coupled to ferricytochrome c (100 mu M) was effectively abolished by SOD (200 U/ml), tiron (10 mM) and TEMPO (0.3 mM), indicating the involvement of superoxide anions. TEMPO derivatives inhibited the initial reaction rate with the potency order: TEMPO >4-hydroxy-TEMPO=4-carboxy-TEMPO. In contrast, 4-hydroxy-TEMPO, which lacks the free radical nitroxide function, was inactive up to 1 mM. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
