The scavenging effect of berbamine on active oxygen radicals was studied via a spintrapping technique and a chemiluminescence (CL) method in phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and in four-cell superoxide (02+) or hydroxyl radical (OH ) generating systems. The alkaloid (0.1-0.3 mM) effectively reduced active oxygen radicals in PMA-stimulated PMN, but had no obvious effect on oxygen consumption during the respiratory burst of PMN (as measured with spin probe oxymetry). In addition, berbamine (0.3 mM) inhibited the CL response of PMA-stimulated PMN, and quenched 02 in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase and irradiation riboflavin systems, as well as OH in the Fenton...

Chemiluminescence of Phagocytic Cells, The bactericidal action of phagocytic cells such as the polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) was shown by Klebanoff (1967 1968) to result from the reaction of the enzyme myeloperoxidase MPO and H2O2 in the presence of halide ions. The reactions postulated were... 

Chemiluminescence records obtained at saturating luminol concentration by stimulating human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (22.4 X 10 cells/ml in a c d 2 x 10 cells/ml in b) with urate crystals of different length (2 pm in a,c 10 pm in d) or latex particles (b) (mean diameter 1 pm) in the presence (a) or absence (b,c,d) of IgG (1.3 mg/ml). Urate crystal concentration was 4 mg/ml. Latex concentration was 3 mg/ml. Arrows indicate the time of addition of the particulate stimulus (+) or of IgG (t). Other experimental conditions are as described in the text.
