Reaction of pyridoxamine with malondialdehyde: mechanism of inhibition of formation of advanced lipoxidation end-products.
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs) are implicated in many age-related chronic diseases and in protein aging. Recent studies suggest that pyridoxamine (PM) is an efficient AGEs/ALEs inhibitor in various biological systems. Because malondialdehyde (MDA) is an important intermediate in the formation of ALEs during lipid peroxidation, the purpose of this study is to determine whether PM can trap MDA directly and thereby prevent ALEs formation. PM reacted readily with MDA under physiological conditions. Within 6 h, a 1-pyridoxamino-propenal adduct derived from reaction of equimolar PM + MDA was detected. A 1-amino-3-iminopropene complex and a dihydropyridine-pyridinium complex were also identified after 7 d incubation. PM also greatly inhibited the lipofuscin-like fluorescence formation induced by MDA reaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA). Our results showed clearly that PM inhibited the formation of ALEs by trapping MDA directly under physiological condition, and provide insight into the mechanism of action of PM in protecting proteins against carbonyl stress.
