Kazinol Q from Broussonetia kazinoki Enhances Cell Death Induced by Cu(ll) through Increased Reactive Oxygen Species
The ability of the flavan kazinol Q (KQ) to induce DNA breakage in the presence of Cu(II) was examined by agarose gel electrophoresis using supercoiled plasmid DNA. In KQ-mediated DNA breakage reaction, the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), H2O2 and O2 - was established by the inhibition...
