The effects of catechins and tannins on the uranyl ion (UO22+)-hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) system were examined using the spin-trapping method. Epigallocatechin (EGC), having low•OH-scavenging ability, significantly enhanced and accelerated the hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation in the UO22+–H2O2solution. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), having high•OH-scavenging ability, fairly enhanced and accelerated hydroxyl radical (•OH) formation in the UO22+–H2O2solution. These results indicate that the enhancement and acceleration of•OH formation are caused by the reduction of UO22+to UO2+by EGC and EGCG. The effects of tannins on•OH formation in the UO22+–H2O2solution varied with tannins. Mimosa (MMT) and quebracho (QBT) tannins enhanced and accelerated•OH formation, while chestnut (CNT), mylobaran (MBT) and Chinese gallo- (CGT) tannins heavily depressed it. In the solution containing persimmon (PST) and gambir (GBT) tannins, the depression of•OH formation caused by the strong coupling with UO22+ion should be added to the enhancement caused by the reduction of UO22+to UO2+. MBT indicated the highest ability to scavenge•OH in the UV-irradiated H2O2solution, and MMT, the lowest. In summary, MMT and QBT, classified as condensed tannins, have very high abilities to reduce UO22+to UO2+, similarly to catechins such as EGC and EGCG, while MBT, a hydrolysable tannin, has higher abilities to scavenge•OH.
