Abstract
Although peroxynitrite (ONOO-) plays an essential role in cellular redox homeostasis, its excess ONOO- will affect the normal physiological function of cells. Therefore, real-time monitoring of changes in local ONOO- will contribute to further revealing the biological functions. Reliable and accurate detection of biogenic ONOO- will definitely benefit for disentangling its complex functions in living systems. In the past few years, more fluorescent probes have been developed to help understand and reveal cellular ONOO- changes. However, there has been no comprehensive and critical review of multifunctional fluorescent probes for cellular ONOO- and other analytes. To highlight the recent advances, this review first summarized the recent progress of multifunctional fluorescent probes since 2018, focusing on molecular structures, response mechanisms, optical properties, and biological imaging in the detection and imaging of cellular ONOO- and analytes. We classified and discussed in detail the limitations of existing multifunctional probes, and proposed new ideas to overcome these limitations. Finally, the challenges and future development trends of ONOO- fluorescence probes were discussed. We hoped this review will provide new research directions for developing of multifunctional fluorescent probes and contribute to the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive species, plays a key role in various physiological and pathological processes. Herein, a red-emitting fluorescent reporter perylenemonoimide-boronate ester (PMI-BE) was synthesized and utilized for ultrasensitive detection of ONOO-. The unique feature of PMI-BE is its nanomolar sensitivity with high selectivity towards ONOO-. Moreover, PMI-BE also detects endogenously generated ONOO- in live cells.

Abstract
Irregularities in mitochondrial viscosity and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) concentration can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. It is still a great challenge to develop near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes to simultaneously detect viscosity, endogenous ONOO-, and mitophagy. Herein, a multifunctional mitochondria-targeting NIR fluorescent probe P-1 was first synthesized for simultaneously detecting viscosity, ONOO-, and mitophagy. P-1 used quinoline cations as a mitochondrial targeting moiety, arylboronate as an ONOO- responsive group, and detected the change of viscosity by the twisted internal charge transfer (TICT) mechanism. The probe has an excellent response to the viscosity during inflammation by lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and mitophagy induced by starvation at 670 nm. The viscosity changes of the probe induced by nystatin in zebrafish showed that P-1 was able to detect microviscosity in vivo. P-1 also showed good sensitivity with a detection limit of 6.2 nM for ONOO- detection and was successfully applied to the endogenous ONOO- detection in zebrafish. Moreover, P-1 has the ability to distinguish between cancer cells and normal cells. All of these features make P-1 a promising candidate to detect mitophagy and ONOO- -associated physiological and pathological processes.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a biological oxidant that is related to numerous physiological and pathological processes. An overdose of ONOO- is the cause of various serious diseases. Some evidence demonstrates that mitochondria are the major sites of ONOO- production. Therefore, monitoring mitochondrial ONOO- is important to understand the related pathological processes in living systems. Herein, a colorimetric and far-red fluorescent sensing probe (PCPA) for the determination of ONOO- was constructed based on a dicyanoisophorone skeleton using dimethylphosphorothionate as the recognition group and pyridine salt as the mitochondrion-targeting unit. PCPA showed a far-red fluorescence response to ONOO- accompanied by a distinct color change from colorless to yellow via the ONOO- induced deprotection of dimethylphosphorothionate. In addition, PCPA exhibited a large Stokes shift (200 nm), high selectivity detection and high sensibility (LOD = 39 nM). Furthermore, PCPA was successfully employed for imaging ONOO- and tracing ONOO- in mitochondria. PCPA presents a new recognition group and has potential applications in the biology field.

Abstract
General anesthesia increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can exacerbate or increase oxidative stress and thus affect the prognosis of surgical procedures. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of cardiovascular, dermatologic, oncologic, and other diseases in dogs, as well as ischemia and reperfusion injury. Some anesthetics, such as halogenated anesthetics, have been shown to stimulate the production of ROS, while others, such as propofol, have antioxidant properties. However, the antioxidant effects of these anesthetics may not be sufficient to counteract oxidative damage at the doses used clinically. Nevertheless, the effects of anesthetics should be considered to minimize oxidative damage during anesthesia in dogs to improve the outcome of procedures requiring general anesthesia. This mini-review addresses the current knowledge on oxidative stress during inhalational and intravenous anesthesia in dogs. There is still a lack of information on the management of anesthesia in dogs with respect to oxidative stress. Further research, including comprehensive clinical studies is needed to better understand oxidative injury mechanisms and improve perioperative protocols during anesthesia in dogs.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), is implicated with many physiological and pathological processes including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation. In this regard, developing effective tools for highly selective tracking of ONOO- is urgently needed. Herein, we constructed a concise and specific fluorescent probe NA-ONOO for sensing ONOO- by conjugating an ONOO--specific recognition group ((4-methoxyphenylthio)carbonyl, a thiocarbonate derivative) with a naphthalene fluorophore. The probe, NA-ONOO, was in a dark state because the high electrophilicity of (4-methoxyphenylthio)carbonyl disturbs the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) in the fluorophore. Upon treatment with ONOO-, the fluorescent emission was sharply boosted (quantum yield Φ: 3% to 56.6%) owing to an ONOO- triggered release of (4-methoxyphenylthio)carbonyl from NA-ONOO. Optical analyses showed that NA-ONOO presented high selectivity and sensitivity toward ONOO-. With good cell permeability and biocompatibility, the NA-ONOO probe was successfully applied to imaging and tracing exogenous and endogenous ONOO- in living cells and zebrafish. The probe NA-ONOO presents a new recognition group and a promising method for further investigating ONOO- in living systems.

Abstract
Fluorescent probes have contributed greatly to our understanding of the biological role of peroxynitrite (ONOO-). The ONOO- fluorescence probe characterized by the arlyboronate received a moderate opening fluorescence response, and the borate-masked probe significantly increased the sensitivity of ONOO-. Thus, two simple fluorescent probes (ADB and ANB) with the recognition receptor of phenyl boronate moiety were constructed for the detection of ONOO-. The change of emission spectrum was affected differently by the electron donating (or withdrawing) of the substituents. ANB was shown to have a low sensitivity and quantum yield towards ONOO- in aqueous solution, whereas ADB with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) process exhibited not only good sensitivity for ONOO- with a detection limit of 75 nM, but also ADB could be used to quantitative detecting ONOO- in response to concentrations of ONOO- within 20 s. Importantly, ADB had good performance for the detection of exogenous ONOO- in the RAW 264.7 cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacological interventions reducing myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury include the administration of anesthetics. Both sevoflurane as well as propofol have been shown to elicit cardiac protection via distinct molecular mechanisms. We investigated the hypothesis that sevoflurane in contrary to propofol anesthesia elicits cardiac protection against I/R-injury via mitochondrial mechanisms of disease. METHODS Male New Zealand white rabbits (n = 42) were subjected 30 min of coronary artery occlusion followed by 3 h of reperfusion. After induction with pentobarbital, the animals either received sevoflurane or propofol to maintain general anesthesia. Infarct size was determined gravimetrically after triphenyltetrazolium chlorid-staining. Cardiac mitochondria were isolated and mitochondrial oxygen consumption was measured using a Clark electrode. Mitochondrial respiratory chain complex activities (I-IV) were analyzed utilizing specific assays. Data are mean ± SD. RESULTS Sevoflurane anesthesia significantly decreased the resulting myocardial infarct size compared to propofol anesthesia (p = 0.0275 vs. propofol). Mitochondria from animals receiving propofol anesthesia showed a significantly reduced mitochondrial respiratory control ratio (p = 0.01909 vs. sham) and impaired activities of respiratory complex I (p = 0.0147 vs. sham; p < 0.01 vs. sevoflurane) as well as respiratory complex IV (p = 0.0181 vs. sham). Mitochondrial dysfunction was absent in sevoflurane anesthesized animals. Furthermore, a significantly higher portion of complex I was found to be in its deactive form during I/R-injury in animals receiving sevoflurane anesthesia (p = 0.0123 vs. propofol). CONCLUSIONS Sevoflurane as opposed to propofol anesthesia preserved mitochondrial respiration and elicited cardiac protection against I/R-injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Desflurane and propofol are cardioprotective, but relative efficacy is unclear. The aim was to compare myocardial protection of single, simultaneous, and serial administration of desflurane and propofol. METHODS Sixty New Zealand White rabbits and 65 isolated Sprague Dawley rat hearts randomly received desflurane, propofol, simultaneous desflurane and propofol, or sequential desflurane then propofol. Rabbits were subdivided to receive either ischemia-reperfusion with temporary occlusion of the left anterior descending artery or a time-matched, nonischemic perfusion protocol, whereas rat hearts were perfused in a Langendorff model with global ischemia-reperfusion. End points were hemodynamic, functional recovery, and mitochondrial uptake of H-2-deoxy-D-glucose as an indicator of mitochondrial permeability transition. RESULTS In rabbits, there were minimal increases in preload-recruitable stroke-work with propofol (P < .001), desflurane (P < .001), and desflurane-and-propofol (P < .001) groups, but no evidence of increases with pentobarbitone (P = .576) and desflurane-then-propofol (P = .374). In terms of end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship, there was no evidence of increase compared to nonischemic controls with desflurane-then-propofol (P = .364), a small but significant increase with desflurane (P < .001), and larger increases with pentobarbitone (P < .001), propofol (P < .001), and desflurane-and-propofol (P < .001).In rat hearts, there was no statistically significant difference in mitochondrial H-activity between propofol and desflurane-and-propofol (165 ± 51 × 10 vs 154 ± 51 × 10 g·mL·min/μmol; P = .998). Desflurane had lower uptake than propofol (65 ± 21 × 10 vs 165 ± 51 × 10 g·mL·min/μmol; P = .039), but there was no statistically significant difference between desflurane and desflurane-then-propofol (65 ± 21 × 10 vs 59 ± 11 × 10 g·mL·min/μmol; P = .999). CONCLUSIONS Propofol and desflurane are cardioprotective, but desflurane is more effective than propofol. The added benefit of desflurane is lost when used simultaneously with propofol.

Abstract
Introduction: Propofol has been suggested as a useful adjunct to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) because of its potential protective effect on the heart mediated by a decrease in ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation at clinically relevant concentrations. In view of these potentially protective properties, which modulate many of the deleterious mechanism of inflammation attributable to reperfusion injury and CPB, we sought to determine whether starting a low dose of propofol infusion at the beginning of CPB would decrease inflammation as measured by pro-inflammatory markers. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 24 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). The study group received propofol at rate of 120 mcg/kg/min immediately after starting CPB and was maintained throughout the surgery and for the following 6 hours in the intensive care unit (ICU). The control group received propofol dose of 30-50 mcg/kg/min which was started at the time of chest closure with wires and continued for the next 6 hours in the ICU. Interleukins (IL) -6, -8 and -10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) were assayed. Result: The most significant difference was in the level of IL-6 which had a P value of less than 0.06. Starting a low dose propofol early during the CPB was not associated with significant hemodynamic instability in comparison with the control group. Conclusion: Our study shows that propofol may be suitable as an anti-inflammatory adjunct for patients undergoing CABG.

Abstract
Several events occurring during the secondary damage of traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause oxidative stress. F(2)-isoprostanes (F(2)-IsoPs) and F(4)-neuroprostanes (F(4)-NPs) are specific lipid peroxidation markers generated from arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, respectively. In this study, we evaluated oxidative stress in patients with moderate and severe TBI. Since sedatives are routinely used to treat TBI patients and propofol has been considered an antioxidant, TBI patients were randomly treated with propofol or midazolam for 72 h postoperation. We postoperatively collected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma from 15 TBI patients for 6-10 d and a single specimen of CSF or plasma from 11 controls. Compared with the controls, the TBI patients exhibited elevated levels of F(2)-IsoPs and F(4)-NPs in CSF throughout the postsurgery period regardless of the sedative used. Compared with the group of patients who received midazolam, those who received propofol exhibited markedly augmented levels of plasma F(2)-IsoPs, which were associated with higher F(4)-NPs levels and lower total nitrate/nitrite levels in CSF early in the postsurgery period. Furthermore, the higher CSF F(2)-IsoPs levels correlated with 6-month and 12-month worse outcomes, which were graded according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale. The results demonstrate enhanced oxidative damage in the brain of TBI patients and the association of higher CSF levels of F(2)-IsoPs with a poor outcome. Moreover, propofol treatment might promote lipid peroxidation in the circulation, despite possibly suppressing nitric oxide or peroxynitrite levels in CSF, because of the increased loading of the lipid components from the propofol infusion.

Abstract
Either isoflurane preconditioning or high-dose propofol treatment has been shown to attenuate myocardial IRI (ischaemia/reperfusion injury) in patients undergoing CABG (coronary artery bypass graft) surgery. It is unknown whether isoflurane and propofol may synergistically attenuate myocardial injury in patients. The present study investigated the efficacy of IsoPC (isoflurane preconditioning), propofol treatment (postconditioning) and their synergy in attenuating postischaemic myocardial injury in patients undergoing CABG surgery using CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass). Patients (n = 120) selected for CABG surgery were randomly assigned to one of four groups (n = 30 each). After induction, anaesthesia was maintained either with fentanyl and midazolam (control; group C); with propofol at 100 μg x kg(-1) of body weight x min(-1) before and during CPB followed by propofol at 60 μg x kg(-1) of body weight x min(-1) for 15 min after aortic declamping (group P); with isoflurane 1-1.5% end tidal throughout the surgery (group I) or with isoflurane 1-1.5% end tidal before CPB and switching to propofol at 100 μg x kg(-1) of body weight x min(-1) during CPB followed by propofol at 60 μg x kg(-1) of body weight x min(-1) for 15 min after aortic declamping (group IP, i.e. IsoPC plus propofol postconditioning). A joint isoflurane and propofol anaesthesia regimen synergistically reduced plasma levels of cTnI (cardiac troponin I) and CK-MB (creatine kinase MB) and f-FABP (heart-type fatty acid-binding protein) (all P < 0.05 compared with control, group P or group I) and facilitated postoperative myocardial functional recovery. During reperfusion, myocardial tissue eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) protein expression in group IP was significantly higher, whereas nitrotyrosine protein expression was lower than those in the control group. In conclusion, a joint isoflurane preconditioning and propofol anaesthesia regimen synergistically attenuated myocardial reperfusion injury in patients.

Abstract
Supplementation of L-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, during the late phase of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion increases myocyte apoptosis and exacerbates myocardial injury, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. During myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, apoptosis of endothelial cells precedes that of cardiomyocyte. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) production is increased during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion, which may exacerbate myocardial injury by inducing endothelial cell apoptosis. We postulated that L-arginine may exacerbate TNF-induced endothelial cell apoptosis by enhancing peroxynitrite-mediated nitrative stress. Cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells were either not treated (control) or treated with TNF alone or with TNF in the presence of L-arginine, the nonselective nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N (omega)-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), propofol (an anesthetic that scavenges peroxynitrite), or L-arginine plus propofol, respectively, for 24 hours. TNF increased intracellular superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production accompanied by increases of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression and nitric oxide production. This was accompanied by increased protein expression of nitrotyrosine, a fingerprint of peroxynitrite and an index of nitrative stress, and increased endothelial cell apoptosis. L-arginine did not enhance TNF-induced increases of superoxide and peroxynitrite production but further increased TNF-induced increase of nitrotyrosine production and exacerbated TNF-mediated cell apoptosis. L-NNA and propofol, respectively, reduced TNF-induced nitrative stress and attenuated TNF cellular toxicity. The L-arginine-mediated enhancement of nitrative stress and TNF toxicity was attenuated by propofol. Thus, under pathological conditions associated with increased TNF production, L-arginine supplementation may further exacerbate TNF cellular toxicity by enhancing nitrative stress.

Abstract
The fact that a considerable amount of clinical conditions suffering from ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) occur under general anesthesia has triggered researchers to focus on the effects of anesthetic drugs on IRI. Hence, the aim of this study was to compare the use of different anesthetic drugs in a skeletal IRI model. Tourniquet IRI method was performed and two experimental groups were established as sham-control and IRI group. Rats in each group were anesthetized either with thiopental, ketamine, propofol or etomidate. Malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase were measured in skeletal muscle via a spectrophotometer. Zinc, iron, copper, and selenium were evaluated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In rats anesthetized with thiopental (40 mg/kg, i.p.), malondialdehyde values in IRI group were higher and glutathion peroxidase levels were lower compared to sham-control group. However, superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were identical. On the other hand, while the level of zinc in IRI group attenuated, no differences in iron and copper values were determined. Rats anesthetized with ketamine (60 mg/kg), propofol (100 mg/kg), or etomidate (20 mg/kg) did not show increased malondialdehyde levels in comparison with control levels. While the drugs did not cause a distinction in the levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathion peroxidase, iron, and copper, zinc was in a lower level in IRI group compared to sham-control. In conclusion, ketamine, propofol, and etomidate, with anesthetic doses, denoted efficacious effects on IRI; hence the drugs might be preferred in certain operations with the risk of IRI.

Abstract
The reaction of the free radical diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH ) with the anesthetic agent 2,6-diisopropylphenol (propofol, PPF) was investigated in buffered hydroalcoholic media. The kinetics was followed using a stopped-flow system. DPPH was reduced to the hydrazine analogue DPPH-H with a measured stoichiometry (DPPH /PPF) of 2. The main product of the reaction, 3,5,3',5'-tetraisopropyl-(4,4')-diphenoquinone (PPFDQ) was isolated by chromatography and its structure was fully characterized. The reaction mechanism was inferred from the stoichiometry, kinetics, and product identification. The first step, which primarily determines the kinetics, is the reaction of DPPH with PPF to produce DPPH-H and the PPF radical. The rate constant was found to be 31.8, 207, and 908 M(-1) s(-1) at pH 6.4, 7.4, and 8.4, respectively. The pH dependence is indicative of a higher reactivity of the phenolate form of PPF. Then, PPF radicals combine to form dipropofol, which is quickly oxidized to PPFDQ by the remaining DPPH . This reaction scheme is corroborated by numerical simulations of the kinetics. In the course of this study we also disclosed an unexpected effect, the photochemical degradation of PPFDQ. The need to compare antioxidants on a kinetics basis is again emphasized. In our hands, PPF presents a significantly weaker reactivity than Trolox.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), when produced via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in excess under pathological conditions (e.g., inflammation, endotoxemia, and septic shock), may lead to tissue injury and organ dysfunction. The bioavailability of NO and the activity and expression of iNOS are regulated by anesthetic agents. Volatile anesthetics mostly suppress, but in some instances may upregulate, the lipopolysaccharide-and cytokine-induced expression of iNOS in blood vessels and macrophages. Intravenous anesthetics inhibit iNOS expression in macrophages and the liver. Local anesthetics decrease the production of NO by inhibiting iNOS expression in macrophages and increase NO production in glial cells. Based on the literature reported so far, the effects of anesthetics on iNOS expression and activity under conditions of inflammation are controversial, with the observed effects depending on the experimental methods and animal species used. On the other hand, it has been shown that volatile and intravenous anesthetics consistently prevent the development of multiple organ failure elicited by endotoxemia or septic shock. Information, although still insufficient, regarding the interactions between anesthetic agents and the detrimental effects of NO formed during inflammatory processes may help us to construct advanced strategies for anesthetizing and sedating patients with inflammation and sepsis and for anesthetic preconditioning against ischemic injury.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the neuroprotective effect of propofol and its intracellular mechanism on neurons in vitro. METHODS Cell viability was determined with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide reduction. Apoptotic cell death was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining and a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. The caspase-3 activity was measured by fluorometric assay. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase phosphorylation was detected with Western blotting. RESULTS The pretreatment of rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 with propofol (1-10 micromol/L) resulted in a significant recovery from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell death and the inhibition of H2O2 induced caspase-3 activation and PC12 cell apoptosis. Propofol inhibited the H2O2-induced p38 MAP kinase, but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase or extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 activations. CONCLUSION Propofol might attenuate H2O2-induced PC12 cell death through the inhibition of signaling pathways mediated by the p38 MAP kinase.

Abstract
Previously our group developed a water-soluble antioxidant screening system using the luminescence of the reaction of peroxynitrite and luminol. In the present study we replaced luminol with the luminol-like compound L-012. This increases the production of luminescence approximately 100-fold and therefore, with a higher signal:noise ratio, this new system can detect antioxidation and antinitration effects at lower doses of the inhibitor. We studied acetaminophen (Tylenol) and its metabolite 3-nitroacetaminophen, tyrosine and nitrotyrosine and all these substances were inhibitory in a dose-responsive manner and below micromolar amounts. In addition quercetin, a polyphenol, was highly active (below micromolar amounts) as an antioxidant and antinitrating compound. 4-OH tempol, the stable free radical, superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic, was inhibitory in a dose-responsive manner and below micromolar amounts. Carboxy-PTIO was inhibitory at 10 times micromolar amount but not below that dose, which may be related to colour quenching, since the drug is deeply blue, or possibly it is an inhibitor with a slow kinetic profile. Finally, the amino acid tyrosine has been found to be inhibitory in micromolar amounts, similar to acetaminophen. This indicates that tyrosine can act as an antioxidant and antinitration target alone or conjugated in protein, e.g. insulin.

Abstract
PURPOSE A laboratory investigation was undertaken to assess the effects of propofol on renal function, through modulation of the systemic inflammatory response, in an in vivo experimental model of aortic surgery in comparison with sevoflurane. METHODS Twenty young male piglets were anesthetized with either propofol 4 mg.kg(-1).hr(-1) (n = 10) or sevoflurane 1.5% end-tidal concentration (n = 10). Animals were subjected to aorta-aortic bypass with suprarenal aortic clamping for 30 min. At specific intervals (basal -before the start of surgery; reperfusion 15 min after unclamping the aorta; at 24, 48 and 72 hr after surgery, and on the seventh day after surgery) the levels of the following were determined: plasma creatinine, renal myeloperoxidase, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-ss, and interferon-gamma; kidney superoxide anion and its detoxifying enzyme superoxidase dismutase, kidney malondialdehyde and the activity of inducible nitric oxide synthase. Seven days after surgery, the animals were anesthetized using the described techniques, and after blood withdrawal and kidney sampling they were sacrificed. RESULTS In comparison with sevoflurane, propofol was associated with a lower concentration of plasma creatinine (P < 0.05) together with lower concentrations of myeloperoxidase, tumour necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin 1-ss, interferon-gamma, superoxide anion and superoxidase dismutase, malondialdehyde and inducible nitric oxide synthase (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In an experimental model of aortic reconstructive surgery, and compared with sevoflurane, propofol anesthesia is associated with less neutrophil infiltration, lower plasma proinflammatory cytokine levels, lower production of oxygen free radicals, less lipid peroxidation, and reduced inducible nitric oxide synthase activity. These observations suggest a possible renal protective effect of propofol in this surgical setting.

Abstract
The photochemistry of the anaesthetic agent propofol (PPF) was investigated in three different solvents of quite different polarity (cyclohexane, methanol and phosphate buffer pH 7) by means of nanosecond laser flash photolysis and absorption spectroscopy. GC-MS spectrometry measurements of PPF in cyclohexane have revealed the formation of two major products upon low intensity UV continuous irradiation of PPF in aerated solution: the diphenol derivative of PPF and 2,6-diisopropyl-p-benzoquinone (PPFQ). Only the diphenol compound was obtained in anaerobic solution. PPF phenoxyl radical (PPF ) generation has been assigned as the original step leading to the formation of both the diphenol compound and PPFQ in cyclohexane as revealed by laser flash photolysis at 266 nm and by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy as well. Investigation of PPF by nanosecond flash photolysis at 266 nm in the other solvents revealed the occurrence of different photochemical processes depending on the nature and the polarity of the solvent. A reaction scheme is proposed in order to discuss the mechanism of reaction of PPF in all media.

Abstract
Propofol (PF), a highly lipophilic anesthetic, has several desirable properties, such as the rapid onset and cessation of its effects upon intravenous infusion. In this study, the transdermal absorption of PF was investigated with the aim of the development of an alternative route of administration. PF solutions containing isopropyl myristate (IPM), ethanol or propylene glycol (PG) at various concentrations were prepared and applied to the abdominal skin of rats. Petrolatum and fatty alcohol propylene glycol (FAPG) ointments containing PF were also prepared and applied to the dorsal skin. Eyelid opening was measured and the ratio of the measured value to the initial value was calculated to evaluate the level of the pharmacological effect of the preparation. The PG solution containing 80% PF achieved higher plasma PF concentrations than the 100% PF solution. The PF-FAPG ointment produced a higher plasma PF concentration than the PF-petrolatum ointment. Furthermore, a drowsy state was confirmed after transdermal administration of 42% PF-FAPG ointment. These results indicate that the combination of PF and PG was appropriate for the transdermal absorption of PF, and PF was absorbed through the rat skin to an extent sufficient to cause a continuous sedative effect.

Abstract
Propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) is a hypnotic intravenous agent with in vivo antioxidant properties. This study was undertaken to examine the in vitro antioxidant activity of propofol using different antioxidant tests including by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH.) radical scavenging, metal chelating, hydrogen peroxide scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, reducing power and total antioxidant activities. At the concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 microg/ml, propofol exhibited 97.7, 98.6 and 100% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. On the other hand, at the 75 microg/ml concentration of standard antioxidants such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and alpha-tocopherol exhibited 88.7, 94.5, and 70.4% inhibition on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion, respectively. In addition, at same concentrations, propofol was shown that it had effective reducing power, DPPH. free radical scavenging, superoxide anion radical scavenging, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and metal chelating activities. These various antioxidant activities were compared to standard antioxidants such as BHA, BHT and alpha-tocopherol. These results indicate that propofol prevents lipid peroxidation and radicalic chain reactions. At the same time, propofol revealed more effective antioxidant capacity than BHA, BHT and alpha-tocopherol.

Abstract
We report here on the role of copper (II) salts on the acceleration of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) decomposition and ONOO- reaction with the anaesthetic agent propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) in alkaline medium. We observed a strong acceleration of the ONOO- decomposition in alkaline medium in the presence of copper (I and II) salts. After 18 h of ONOO- reaction with propofol, we observed nitrosated, nitrated, and oxidized (quinone and diphenylquinone) derivatives of propofol, but in the presence of Cu(II) (20% molar vs ONOO-), the yields of quinone and nitrosopropofol strongly increased. We also observed that the temperature and the atmosphere influenced the effects of Cu(II) on ONOO- reactions with propofol: low temperatures promoted nitrosation and high temperatures promoted oxidation; O2 atmosphere increased the general reactivity and the yield of nitrated and oxidized products. We highlighted the influence of Cu(II) salts on the radical character of the reaction by direct EPR technique. The exact mechanism of the Cu(II) catalysis remains unexplained, but we suggest the formation of a copper complex with propofol or, more probably, the oxidation of ONOO- into ONOO. by copper ions promoting the formation of quinone and nitrosopropofol according to a previously reported mechanism [M. Cudic, C. Ducrocq, Transformations of 2,6-diisopropylphenol by NO-derived nitrogen oxides, particularly peroxynitrite, Nitric Oxide 4 (2000) 147-156].

Abstract
Singlet oxygen (1O2), a reactive oxygen species, has been found to be implicated in many cellular events and pathological disorders. Herein, we investigated the reactivity of 1O2 towards the anaesthetic agent propofol (PPF) encapsulated within DMPC liposomes. By time resolved luminescence, the rate constant of 1O2 quenching by PPF was evaluated, depending on the location of the sensitizer, with following values: 1.35+/-0.05x10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for deuteroporphyrin (as embedded source) and 0.8+/-0.04x10(7) M(-1) s(-1) for uroporphyrin (as external source), respectively. The nature of the oxidation product, resulting from the reaction of 1O2 with PPF, was determined using absorption and HPLC techniques. Finally, the in vitro protective effect of PPF towards the 1O2-induced neuronal cell toxicity was evaluated in terms of cell viability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of propofol confer benefit in adult patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting. DESIGN Prospective, blinded, randomized, controlled clinical investigation. SETTING Single-center, university teaching hospital and academic research laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-one adult patients (11 control, 10 intervention) with chronic stable angina and normal ventricular function scheduled to undergo elective coronary artery bypass grafting. INTERVENTIONS All patients received a standardized fentanyl-isoflurane anesthetic. Fifteen minutes before reperfusion, patients in the intervention group received a target-controlled infusion of propofol, continued for 4 hours after cross-clamp release. Patients in the control group received saline administered in a similar fashion. MEASUREMENTS Serum concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) (from systemic and coronary sinus blood); systemic concentrations of interleukins 4, 6, 8, and 10; and systemic leukocyte functions (respiratory burst, phagocytosis, and beta(2) integrin expression) were measured up to 36 hours after reperfusion. RESULTS A high serum malondialdehyde concentration was detected in the coronary sinus in control patients, 10 minutes after reperfusion; serum malondialdehyde was not detected in the coronary sinus at this time in patients who received propofol (41.4 [15.6-1,150] micromol/L v 0, p = 0.004). Interleukin-8 concentrations increased 2 and 4 hours after reperfusion in the control group. Interleukin-6 concentrations were greater in the control group than the propofol group 4 hours after clamp release (289.1 [165.2-561] rhog/mL v 153.2 (58.2-280.3) rhog/mL, respectively, p = 0.003). Mean dose of propofol was 31.7 mg/kg during the study period. CONCLUSION Clinically relevant concentrations of propofol may attenuate free radical-mediated and inflammatory components of myocardial reperfusion injury in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

Abstract
We have studied the interaction of 3-nitrotyrosine with peroxynitrite using three different methods; chemiluminescence, spectrophotometry and HPLC. Peroxynitrite-induced luminol or lucigenin chemiluminescence were significantly decreased by 3-nitrotyrosine, in concentration-dependent manners. The intensity of the peroxynitrite spectrum was also markedly reduced in the presence of 3-nitrotyrosine in the spectrophometric assay. However, there was no attenuation of the 3-nitrotyrosine signal in the HPLC assay after mixing with peroxynitrite. The interaction of 3-nitrotyrosine and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) was also studied via the chemiluminescence assay, where the HOCl-induced responses were markedly inhibited by 3-nitrotyrosine. These results suggest that caution should be taken when studying the levels or interactions of 3-nitrotyrosine.

Abstract
Activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils may damage tissues through the release of biochemical mediators. Among them, peroxynitrite is responsible for hydroxylation reactions and nitration of proteins, or is metabolised into nitrate. We investigated the effect of propofol on the production of reactive oxygen species, the nitration of proteins and the formation of nitrate by activated human polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Propofol dose-dependently inhibited chemiluminescence, nitration of proteins and nitrate production in a concentration range from 10(-3) to 10(-6) mM. A significant correlation was observed between the logarithm of propofol concentration and the intensity of chemiluminescence (r2=0.90), the nitration of proteins (r2=0.67) and the production of nitrate (r2=0.79). Those results are consistent with the scavenging effect of propofol on peroxynitrite and could confer a protective property to propofol in pathological situations involving polymorphonuclear neutrophils activation.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential of compounds commonly used in anesthesia practice to affect the intracellular oxidant-antioxidant homeostasis of peripheral blood lymphocytes at clinically relevant concentrations; and to study the changes in reactive oxygen species production and measure the mitochondrial glutathione content. DESIGN Prospective, in vitro study. SETTING Experimental medical research laboratory at a University Hospital. MEASUREMENTS Lymphocytes were isolated from the peripheral blood of 15 healthy donors and incubated for 12 hours at 37 degrees C with the following drug concentrations: thiopental sodium 20 mmoL/mL, droperidol 130 micromol/mL, propofol 60 mmoL/mL, and succinylcholine 17 mmoL/mL. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was determined by hydroethidine and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate methods. Mitochondrial glutathione level was assessed using monobromobimane staining. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Thiopental-treated lymphocytes exhibited an overgeneration of ROS, but no change was detected in mitochondrial glutathione quantity. Propofol and droperidol could not induce any perturbative effect on the oxidative state of T cells, whereas succinylcholine was found to markedly affect lymphocyte oxidative state both by impairing glutathione content and promoting exaggerated production of ROS. CONCLUSION Drugs commonly used in anesthesia practice may significantly alter the oxidative state of peripheral T cells. This mechanism could contribute to the immune suppression that occurs transiently in the early postoperative period.

Abstract
We reported here the reaction, in acidic conditions, of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) with the anaesthetic agent propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol, PPF). The most interesting finding is that peroxynitrite is able to nitrate and to oxidize propofol leading to 4-nitropropofol, quinone, and diphenylquinone as the major products. More surprisingly, we also found that peroxynitrite is capable of halogenating propofol in the presence of halide ions, suggesting the formation of nitrosyl chloride (NOCl) or nitryl chloride (NO(2)Cl) from the reaction of peroxynitrite with chloride ions. A significant enhancement of the halogenation yield is observed with a simultaneous decrease of the yields of the other products in the presence of methanol or hydrogen peroxide. Increased halogenation of PPF probably results from the formation of peroxynitrate (O(2)NOO(-)), that further oxidizes chloride ions in hypochlorous acid (HOCl) or molecular chlorine (Cl(2)). Spontaneous decay of peroxynitrate is relatively slow in acidic medium, thus explaining the decrease of the yields of the other products. By direct EPR techniques, we also observed that this reaction occurs via a radical pathway.

Abstract
We have previously shown that pirlindole and dehydropirlindole, two monoamine oxidase type-A inhibitors, protect cultured brain cells against iron-induced toxicity through a mechanism unrelated to monoamine oxidase type-A inhibition. The current study was performed to test whether the protective effect of pirlindole and dehydropirlindole could be extended to a nitric oxide (NO)-induced insult. A comparison with other monoamine oxidase inhibitors (brofaromine, moclobemide and deprenyl) and with trolox was made. In a first series of experiments, rat hippocampal or cortical cultured cells were exposed to a drug for 3 h, then 5 microM sodium nitroprusside, a NO donor, was added and the incubation was continued for 16 h. Cell survival assessment showed that pirlindole, dehydropirlindole and trolox significantly protected cultures against NO-induced toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner with respective EC(50)'s of 7, 3 and 17 microM. Similarly, pirlindole, dehydropirlindole or trolox, at a concentration of 50 microM, significantly decreased both intracellular peroxide production and lipoperoxidation. Other drugs were ineffective. In a post-hoc treatment protocol (3- or 6-h pre-incubation in the presence of sodium nitroprusside, then addition of one of the above mentioned compounds), only pirlindole and dehydropirlindole significantly improved cell survival in a concentration-dependent manner with respective EC(50)'s of 9 and 4 microM. The maximal protection in terms of cell survival was 90% and 78% after 3 and 6 h, respectively. They also reduced the production of both lipoperoxides and endoperoxides. Our results show that pirlindole and dehydropirlindole protect neurons against NO-induced toxicity at pharmacologically relevant concentrations. Moreover, their protective effect is still apparent when they are applied after the start of the insult. Therefore, our preclinical study suggests a new strategy that may be efficient to reduce NO-induced damage in the central nervous system.

Abstract
Nitrosopropofol (NOPR) is a relatively stable compound obtained from the reaction between the general anesthetic 2,6 diisopropylphenol (propofol) and nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and bearing a more acidic phenol group than propofol. It interfered with mitochondrial energetic metabolism in a concentration-dependent manner. Concentrations as high as 100 or 200 microM disrupted both oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport. Low concentrations of NOPR (50 microM) markedly slowed down the electron transport rate which was insensitive both to ADP and uncoupler stimulation and spontaneously gradually stopped. Consequently, both the transmembrane potential production and the ATP synthesis system were affected. In the presence of 10 or 20 microM NOPR, mitochondria respired but showed a worsening of the respiratory control and produced a transmembrane potential useful to respond to a phosphorylation pulse, but were not able to restore it. These results were consistent with ATP synthesis and swelling experiments. NOPR was effective at concentrations lower than those required by the combination of propofol and GSNO, suggesting that mitochondria might be able to catalyze the reaction between GSNO and propofol and that the resulting metabolite was more active on mitochondrial membrane structure than the parent compounds. Although the details of the process are yet unknown, the mechanism presented may be of potential relevance to rationalize the pathophysiological effects of propofol.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The effects of anesthesia on ischemia-reperfusion injury are of considerable scientific and clinical interest. We examined the effects of propofol (known to possess antioxidant activity) and halothane (devoid of antioxidant activity in vitro) on tissue and red blood cell (RBC) antioxidant capacity. Adult male Wistar rats were anesthetized with halothane 0.5%-1.0% (n = 7), propofol 500 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) with halothane 0.25%-0.5% (small-dose propofol; n = 9), or propofol 2000 microg x kg(-1) x min(-1) (large-dose propofol; n = 8) for 45 min. Blood and tissue samples of liver, kidney, heart, and lung were then harvested for in vitro exposure to a peroxidizing agent. Red cell malondialdehyde and tissue thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were determined spectrophotometrically. Antioxidant capacities of blood and tissues in the Large-Dose Propofol group, and of blood and all tissues except lung in the Small-Dose Propofol group, were increased significantly compared with halothane (P < 0.003). The increases in tissue antioxidant capacities varied in their magnitude: RBC > liver > kidney > heart > lung. There was a high correlation between changes in RBC susceptibility to oxidative damage and corresponding changes in tissues. These findings demonstrate that large-dose propofol significantly enhances tissue antioxidant capacity, and RBC antioxidant capacity can serve as a functional measure of tissue activity, in vivo. IMPLICATIONS We designed this study to investigate the antioxidant effects of propofol in various tissues in a rat model. Pretreatment of animals with propofol led to a reduction in the susceptibility to an in vitro oxidative stress of five different tissues investigated, demonstrating the drug's ability to limit oxidative injury. This may have future application in limiting organ dysfunction after periods of tissue ischemia (which results in oxidative damage).

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) oxidation by peroxynitrite (ONOO-) was studied using ultra-weak chemiluminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV-visible diode-array spectrophotometry, and compared to BH4 oxidation by oxoferryl species produced by the myoglobin/hydrogen peroxide (Mb/H2O2) system. The oxidation of BH4 by ONOO- produced a weak chemiluminescence, which was altered by addition of 50 mM of the spin trap alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert butylnitrone (POBN). EPR spin trapping demonstrated that the reaction occurred at least in part by a radical pathway. A mixture of two spectra composed by an intense six-line spectrum and a fleeting weak nine-line one was observed when using ONOO-. Mb/H2O2 produced a short-living light emission that was suppressed by the addition of BH4. Simultaneous addition of POBN, BH4 and Mb/H2O2 produced the same six-line EPR spectrum, with a signal intensity depending on BH4 concentration. Spectrophotometric studies confirmed the rapid disappearance of the characteristic peak of ONOO- (302 nm) as well as substantial modifications of the initial BH4 spectrum with both oxidant systems. These data demonstrated that BH4 oxidation, either by ONOO- or by Mb/H2O2, occurred with the production of activated species and by radical pathways.

Abstract
Isolated rat liver mitochondria have been treated with the general anaesthetic propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol, 200 microM) and the physiological NO donor nitrosoglutathione (GSNO, 200 or 250 microM). The efficiency of the oxidative phosphorylation has been evaluated by measuring the respiration and ATP synthesis rates and the behavior of transmembrane electrical potential. In mitochondria energized by succinate, the simultaneous presence of both propofol and GSNO gives rise to a synergic action in affecting the resting and the ADP-stimulated respiration, the respiratory control ratio, the ATP synthesis, and the formation and utilization of the electrochemical transmembrane potential.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of propofol on endothelial cells subjected to the peroxynitrite (ONOO-) donor 3-morpholino sydnonimine (SIN-1). Cells were incubated overnight with 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mM SIN-1, with or without 10-3 M propofol (Diprivan). Cytotoxicity, assessed by measuring the release of pre-incorporated 51Cr, increased when the concentration of SIN-1 increased, and was significantly decreased by 10-3 M propofol (90%, 78% and 28% of protection against 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM SIN-1, respectively). Cell protection against 1 mM SIN-1 was tested with 0.03-1.0 mM propofol and this was compared to tyrosine, a target molecule for peroxynitrite. Propofol protected cells in a dose-dependent manner (r = 0.98; p < 0.001) and was as effective as tyrosine. Finally, using high-performance liquid chromatography, we demonstrated that propofol reacted with ONOO- more rapidly than did tyrosine, inhibiting nitrotyrosine formation. In the absence of propofol, 3.5 mM ONOO- with 1 mM tyrosine yielded 39.6% nitrotyrosine, but nitrotyrosine was not produced when 5 mM propofol was added. We conclude that propofol protects endothelial cells against the toxicity of ONOO-. The anti-oxidant properties of propofol can be partially attributed to its scavenging effect on peroxynitrite, a property that might be relevant in pathological situations involving a significant contribution of peroxynitrite to tissue damage.

Abstract
PURPOSE To ascertain whether propofol prevents lipid peroxidation on delayed neuronal death induced by transient forebrain ischemia in the hippocampal CA1 subfield in gerbils. METHODS Forty gerbils were randomly assigned to five groups: Group I, control, sham operation treated with physiological saline solution (PSS); Group II, ischemia/reperfusion treated with PSS; Group III, ischemia/reperfusion treated with 50 mg x kg(-1) propofol; Group IV, ischemia/reperfusion treated with 100 mg x kg(-1) propofol; Group V, ischemia/reperfusion treated with 150 mg x kg(-1) propofol. Transient forebrain ischemia was induced by occluding the bilateral common carotid arteries for four minutes under N2O/O2/halothane anesthesia after propofol or PSS. Five days later, the cerebrum was removed and each forebrain was cut into two including the hippocampus. Lipid peroxidation was determined using the production of malondialdehyde (MDA), and histopathological changes in the hippocampal CA1 subfield were examined. RESULTS In group II, the pyramidal cells were atrophic and pycnotic; vacuolation and structural disruption of the radial striated zone was observed. In the other four groups, these changes were not observed. Degenerative ratios of pyramidal cells were: Group I: 4.9 +/- 2.3, Group II: 94.1 +/- 4.5 (P < 0.01), Group III: 12.5 +/- 5.7, Group IV: 11.0 +/- 4.6, Group V: 9.6 +/- 4.9%. Production of MDA was: Group I: 83 +/- 22, Group II: 198 +/- 25 (P < 0.01), Group III: 153 +/- 39, Group IV: 113 +/- 34, Group V: 106 +/- 27 nmol x g(-1) wet tissue. CONCLUSION Propofol attenuated delayed neuronal death by preventing lipid peroxidation induced by transient forebrain ischemia in the hippocampal CA1 subfield in gerbils.

Abstract
To investigate the protective effect of the anesthetic 2, 6-diisopropylphenol, or propofol, in oxidative processes in which (*)NO and peroxynitrite are involved, direct interactions were explored. The reactions of the highly lipophilic propofol with (*)NO in methanolic or aqueous buffered solutions under air were shown to produce the same compounds as those detected with peroxynitrite, but with very low yields and slow rates. In aqueous neutral medium, peroxynitrite (ONOO(-), ONOOCO(-)(2), ONOOH) was able to nitrate and oxidize propofol: In addition to oxidation products, quinone and quinone dimer, the formation of the 4-nitropropofol derivative was detected, increasing with peroxynitrite or CO(2) concentrations. Nitration reached 20% after the addition of 25 mM bicarbonate to an equimolecular mixture of peroxynitrite and propofol in methanol/phosphate-buffered solution (1/4,v/v) at pH 7.4. However, peroxynitrite either in methanol or in alkaline-buffered mixture (optimum pH 10-12) resulted in the rapid and almost complete transformation of propofol to an intermediate compound 1, which further decomposed to 4-nitrosopropofol. The transient compound 1 was obtained from either peroxynitrite or (*)NO in the presence of oxygen. From mass spectrometry determination of compound 1 we propose the involvement of the nitrosodioxyl radical ONOO(*), forming an adduct with the propofoxyl radical, to yield 4-nitrosodioxypropofol and finally 4-nitrosopropofol.

Abstract
Ultraweak luminescence (uwCL) was coupled with electron spin resonance to study the reactions of 3 heterocyclic compounds (tryptophan, serotonin and imidazole) with peroxynitrite at pH 8.7. Tryptophan and serotonin reacted with emission of a flash peak of light (5 s) followed by a long-living light emission of +/- 80 s. Addition of the spin trap 4-POBN at different intervals, after the beginning of reaction revealed that a short-living free radical was produced in the case of serotonin and imidazole, but that with tryptophan, the initial radical rearranged into a relatively long-living radical, which was still formed when 4-POBN was added after 55 s (decreasing phase of uwCL).

Abstract
We separately studied the antioxidant properties of propofol (PPF), Diprivan (the commercial form of PPF) and intralipid (IL) (the vehicle solution of PPF in Diprivan) on active oxygen species produced by phorbol myristate acetate (10(-6) M)-stimulated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN: 5 x 10(5) cells/assay), human endothelial cells (5 x 10(5) cells/assay) or cell-free systems (NaOCl or H2O2/peroxidase systems), using luminol (10(-4) M)-enhanced chemiluminescence (CL). We also studied the protective effects of Diprivan on endothelial cells submitted to an oxidant stress induced by H2O2/MPO system: cytotoxicity was assessed by the release of preincorporated 51Cr. Propofol inhibited the CL produced by stimulated PMN in a dose dependent manner (until 5 x 10(-5) M, a clinically relevant concentration), while Diprivan and IL were not dose-dependent inhibitors. The CL produced by endothelial cells was dose-dependently inhibited by Diprivan and PPF, and weakly by IL (not dose-dependent). In cell free systems, dose-dependent inhibitions were obtained for the three products with a lower effect for IL. Diprivan efficaciously protected endothelial cells submitted to an oxidant stress, while IL was ineffective. By HPLC, we demonstrated that PPF was not incorporated into the cells. The drug thus acted by scavenging the active oxygen species released in the extracellular medium. IL acted in the same manner, but was a less powerful antioxidant.
