title: Production of hydroxyl radicals and alpha-dicarbonyl compounds associated with Amadori compound-Cu2+ complex degradation.
abstract: The chemical properties of Amadori compounds in the presence of transition metal ions were studied, using the analogs 1-deoxy-1-n-butylamino-D-fructose (DBF) and N(alpha)-formyl-fructoselysine (fFL). The following characteristics were revealed: (a) DBF combined easily with Cu2+ (but no other transition metal ions) to form a DBF-Cu2+ complex in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; (b) the complex was unstable, and degraded with the release of Cu+ during incubation at 37 degrees C; (c) degradation of the complex was associated with the production of hydroxyl radicals by the Fenton reaction and alpha-dicarbonyl compounds by non-autoxidative degradation; and (d) properties of DBF were similar to those of fFL. The above properties were additionally observed in glycated poly-Lys (GPL). Our findings indicate a novel mechanism for the generation of hydroxyl radicals and a-dicarbonyl compounds from Amadori adducts in the presence of Cu2+.
