With the availability of;an ultraweak chemiluminescence analyzer, it is possible to monitor the production of a specific oxygen-derived reactive species; such as hydroxyl radical ((OH)-O-.), whenever a suitable chemiluminescent probe is obtainable. Reported herein is the development of a rapid and specific method for detecting (OH)-O-. production using a specific probe, indoxyl-P-glucuronide (IBG), a low-level chemiluminescence emitter. Using the Fenton reagent as a source of (OH)-O-., it was shown that IBG could elicit a very strong intensity of chemiluminescence (CL) (16200 +/- 200 photon counts/s). Conversely, IBG was shown to be insensitive to either superoxide radical or hydrogen peroxide. with their CL intensities nearly close to the background values (25 +/- 5 and 180 +/- 20 photon counts/s, respectively). Furthermore, it was also shown that this IBG-based CL production could be effectively quenched by the addition of (OH)-O-. scavengers such as sodium salicylate, dimethyl sulfoxide, and penicillamine to the assay system. Taken together, these data indicate that IBG is a specific CL probe suitable for monitoring the production of (OH)-O-.; This system demonstrated inhibitory activities of various aqueous extracts of food constituents on the CL of hydroxyl radicals generated by Fenton's reagents with the order of scavenging efficiencies being Prunus mume > Cordyceps sinensin > Lilium lancifolium > Astragalus membranceus.
