We studied effect of α tocopherol on clinical course and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the whole blood in patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The trial involved 70 patients with CAP. Generation of ROS was studied using the luminol dependent chemilumines cence (LDCL) method. Conventional treatment was given to all the patients. Besides this, 35 patients received α tocopherol. LDCL intensity of the blood was enhanced in all the patients. Treatment with α-tocopherol decreased ROS blood concentration and resulted in positive dynamics of clini cal and laboratory parameters. By contrast, patients on the conventional treatment maintained high LDCL intensity and there was slowly resolved course of inflammation in many cases. So, α tocopherol improved redox status in patients with CAP and increased efficiency of the treatment.

AbstractThe health benefits of berberine have been recognized for years. Even so, its effects on human neutrophils, the first line of immune defense, have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of berberine on the human neutrophil oxidative burst. Reactive oxygen species production was analyzed by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence. The analysis was performed in spontaneous and stimulated (phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or opsonized zymosan particles (OZP)) whole blood and isolated neutrophils in the presence or absence of berberine. The effects of berberine on oxidant production in cell-free assays were evaluated using luminescence (H2O2-peroxidase-luminol) and fluorescence (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity – ORAC) techniques. Berberine decreased the production of reactive oxygen species in human whole blood and isolated neutrophils stimulated with either PMA or OZP with a different efficiency (EC50was 69 μM and 197 μM for PMA and OZP, respectively). The effect was more pronounced in isolated neutrophils. Cell-free assays showed the antioxidant activity of berberine against peroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. Based on our results, we suggest that the effects of berberine on reactive oxygen species production in human neutrophils are due to its antioxidant activity.
