Abstract:

Vascular protection is one of the most actual aims of cardiology nowadays. In these conditions, the oxidative stress presents as a serious danger factor of cardiovascular system. Antioxidant enzymes (such as autonomic superoxide dismutase /SOD/ and catalase /CAT/) are potential means for vascular protection. But they demanded the improvement of their biopharmaceutical properties. Accumulation of endothelial glycocalyx glycosaminoglycan-chondroitin sulphate /CHS/ in zones of initial atherosclerotic changes of vascular wall allowed the use of CHS as cross-linking modifier for enzymes. For targeting the antioxidant enzymes towards vascular surface, we applied the covalent conjugating these enzymes /SOD and CAT/ with CHS. The obtained by linkage one another SOD with CAT via CHS /SOD-CHS-CAT/ conjugate had stable and connected (when the product of first enzyme reaction /hydrogen peroxide/ was the substrate for second enzyme transformation) activities and prolonged life-time in blood stream. This SOD-CHS-CAT conjugate possessed vasoprotective activity in respect to platelet interactions, tone of the ring arterial fragment of rat vessel, normalization of hemodynamic rat and rabbit indices changed with hydrogen peroxide administration as oxidative stress model. The SOD-CHS-CAT conjugate had antiplatelet potential due to its anti-aggregation action by means of combined enzyme activities and acquired supramolecular structure. The influence on arterial fragment tone was equal for SOD and CAT in native and connected in conjugate form. Blood pressure and heart rate were significant and effective normalized with SOD-CHS-CAT conjugate in rats and rabbits (after hydrogen peroxide administration as perturbance stimulus). The ECG has no significant alteration. At the first time we have found in vivo, the chronic prophylaxis action for antioxidant bienzyme conjugate. It is important for real development of per oral form of SODCHS- CAT conjugate. These results indicate the universal approach to development of enzyme glycoconjugates of medical destination.
