Summary: | Backgrounds
Echinochrome A (6-ethyl-2,3,5,7,8-pen-tahydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is a common naphthoquinone pigment found in the shells, spines, and coelomic fluid of sea urchins. We previously reported that echinochrome A has a cardioprotective function as an antioxidant against reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by tert-Butyl hydroperoxide and doxorubicin.
Methods
In the current study, we evaluated the antioxidant activity, ATP production, and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of seven echinochrome structural analogs (spinochromes) in AC16 human cardiomyocyte cells. The compounds included in the study had various substituents including hydroxyl (Sp B and Sp E), amino (Echm A), methoxyl (TriMeEch A), pentyl (No. 284), and hydroxypentyl (No. 285). We also investigated the effects of one dimeric spinochrome (Binaphthoquinone).
Results
Spinochromes exhibited enhanced antioxidant activity and ATP production. Interestingly, the hydroxylated compounds significantly enhanced the OCR and had a cardiomyocyte protective effect in the presence of doxorubicin.
Conclusion
Our findings indicate that echinochrome A structural analogs may have therapeutic potential for cardio-protection. |
