Measurements of aroxyl radical (ArO•)-scavenging rate constants (ksAOH) of antioxidants (AOHs) (α-tocopherol (α-TocH), ubiquinol-10 (UQ10H2), and sodium ascorbate (Na+AsH–)) were performed in 2-propanol/water (2-PrOH/H2O, 5/1, v/v) solution using stopped-flow spectrophotometry.ksAOHvalues were measured not only for each AOH but also for the mixtures of two AOHs ((i) α-TocH and UQ10H2and (ii) α-TocH and Na+AsH–). A notable synergistic effect that theksAOHvalues increase 1.6, 2.5, and 6.8 times for α-TocH, UQ10H2, and Na+AsH–, respectively, was observed for the solutions including two kinds of AOHs. Furthermore, measurements of the regeneration rates of α-tocopheroxyl radical (α-Toc•) to α-TocH by UQ10H2and Na+AsH–were performed in 2-PrOH/H2O using double-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Second-order rate constants (kr) obtained for UQ10H2and Na+AsH–were 2.01 × 105and 1.19 × 106M–1s–1, respectively. In fact, UV–vis absorption of α-Toc•(λmax= 428 nm), which had been produced by reaction of α-TocH with ArO•, disappeared under the existence of UQ10H2or Na+AsH–due to the above fast regeneration reaction. The result indicates that the prooxidant effect of α-Toc•is suppressed by the coexistence of UQ10H2or Na+AsH–. As α-TocH, UQ10H2, and ascorbate monoanion (AsH–) coexist in relatively high concentrations in plasma, blood, and various tissues, the above synergistic effect, that is, the increase of the free-radical-scavenging rate and suppression of the prooxidant reaction, may function in biological systems.
