Assessing Ge-132 as an antioxidant in organic and water-containing media

Résumé

The antioxidant activity of Ge-132 (2-carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide, [(O0.5)3GeCH2CH2COOH]n), a widely used organic germanium dietary supplement, was assessed by cyclic voltammetry and through its interaction with a stable radical 2,2,-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) monitored by UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy in water, CH3CN, DMF, MeOH, and their mixtures with water. The results obtained by these methods are coherent in that Ge-132 can manifest its antioxidant activity only in the absence of water because the latter hydrolyses its Ge-O-Ge fragment responsible for quenching free radicals. Thus, contrary to a common use of Ge-132 as a water-soluble agent, it can act as an antioxidant solely in a lipid environment, which is important for understanding the mechanism of its biological activity.
