The pathological processes involved in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) include retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell degeneration; oxidative mechanisms likely contribute to the demise of these cells. Indeed, RPE cells may be particularly susceptible to photooxidative mechanisms since they accumulate retinoid-derived photoreactive compounds that constitute the lipofuscin of the cell. Thus we undertook to test the capacity of OT-674, the reduction product (Tempol-H) of the nitroxide Tempol, to suppress photooxidative processes initiated by the RPE lipofuscin fluorophore A2E. Accordingly, when ARPE-19 cells that had accumulated A2E were irradiated at 430 nm, pretreatment with OT-674 (0.01-10 mm) was found to confer a resistance to cell death. Monitoring by quantitative HPLC also showed that OT-674 reduced A2E photooxidation in a cell-free system. Moreover, when presented with a singlet oxygen generator, OT-674 served as a quencher of singlet oxygen that was more effective than Trolox and alpha-tocopherol. We conclude that OT-674 is a potent antioxidant that suppresses photooxidative processes generated in cultured RPE cells by the lipofuscin fluorophore A2E. As oxidative damage to RPE cells is considered to be a risk factor for AMD, antioxidant therapy with OT-674 may serve a protective role.
