title: Study of a Fenton type reaction: effect of captopril and chelating reagents.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, could interact with iron ions and so modify a Fenton type reaction. Results indicate that different degrees of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance from deoxyribose are obtained in an ascorbate-driven Fenton system depending on the order of addition of captopril and iron to the incubation medium. Similar results were obtained with the chelating reagents ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, indicating that the buffer solution plays a relevant role when a particular iron complex is formed with a chelating agent. These metal complexes produce oxidizing species in a Fenton type system whose nature is discussed.
