description | PURPOSE: Our working hypothesis is that bioactive phytochemicals that are important constituents of Traditional Chinese Medicine and their defined mixtures have potential as complementary therapy for chemoprotection against adverse drug reactions whose toxicity is not related to the pharmacological action of the drug but where oxidative and nitrosative stress are causative factors. METHODS: In this investigation we measured cytotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation and ROS/NOS-mediated changes in the disulfide proteome of Jurkat E6.1 cells resulting from exposure to sulfamethoxazole N-hydroxylamine with or without pre-treatment with low µM concentrations of baicalein, crocetin, resveratrol and schisanhenol alone and in defined mixtures to compare the ability of these treatment regimens to protect against ROS/RNS toxicity to Jurkat E6.1 cells in culture. RESULTS: Each of the Traditional Chinese Medicine constituents and defined mixtures tested had significant chemoprotective effects against the toxicity of ROS/RNS formed by exposure of Jurkat E6.1 cells to reactive metabolites of sulfamethoxazole implicated as the causative factors in adverse drug reactions to sulfa drugs used for therapy. At equimolar concentrations, the defined mixtures tended to be more effective chemoprotectants overall than any of the single constituents against ROS/RNs toxicity in this context. CONCLUSIONS: At low µM concentrations, defined mixtures of TCM constituents that contain ingredients with varied structures and multiple mechanisms for chemoprotection have excellent potential for complementary therapy with sulfa drugs to attenuate adverse effects caused by oxidative/nitrosative stress. Typically, such mixtures will have a combination of immediate activity due to short in vivo half-lives of some ingredients cleared rapidly following metabolism by phase 2 conjugation enzymes; and some ingredients with more prolonged half-lives and activity reliant on phase 1 oxidation enzymes for their metabolic clearance.
