Coelenterazine (CLZn; 3,7-dihydro-2-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-6-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-8-benzylimidazolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3-one), the substrate for bioluminescence reactions in many marine animals, is endowed with high antioxidant: properties. This work investigated the antioxidative properties of CLZn in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes subjected to the oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). Micromolar concentrations of CLZn increased survival and decreased lipid peroxidation in rat hepatocytes subjected for 6 hr to 2.5 x 10(-4) M t-BHP. However, the extent of protection was limited by a strong toxicity of CLZn (IC(50) = 6.9 x 10(-5) M). The presence of t-BHP increased the cellular toxicity of CLZn. Methyl coelenterazine (CLZm, 3,7-dihydro-2-methyl-6-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-8 benzylimidazolo[1,2-a] pyrazin-3-one), a synthetic analogue of CLZn, demonstrated excellent antioxidant properties, even at very low (3 x 10(-6) M) concentrations and was not toxic throughout most of its effective concentration range. CLZm proved far more effective than reference antioxidants such as Trolox C(R), alpha-tocopherol, BHT, and probucol. The assay of thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) associated with cells and in the culture medium indicated that 10(-5) M CLZm provided a total protection against t-BHP-induced lipid peroxidation. This coelenterazine analogue could be used as a model compound for investigating the action mechanism of imidazolopyrazinones in mammalian hepatocytes. BIOCHEM PHARMACOL 60;4:471-478, 2000.
