Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Lactobionic acid, a major constituent of a solution used to preserve organs prior to transplantation, can chelate ferric iron. This is evident by its ability to solubilize iron as well as changes that occur in the UV-VIS spectra of iron in its presence. Relative to iron (III) chelated to EDTA, the lactobionic acid-iron (III) complex is less able to participate in the Fenton reaction as measured by formaldehyde generation from DMSO and bleaching of p-N,N-dimethylnitrosoaniline. Similar effects are seen with citrate and ATP, two substances which also appear to be able to ameliorate ischemia/reperfusion injury. These findings present a rationale for the effectiveness of lactobionic acid as an organ preservant.
