Abstract	We report on a rather unknown feature of oligonucleotides, namely, their potent antioxidant activity. Previously, we showed that nucleotides are potent antioxidants in FeII/CuI/II–H2O2 systems. Here, we explored the potential of 2′-deoxyoligonucleotides as inhibitors of the FeII/CuI/II-induced ·OH formation from H2O2. The oligonucleotides [d(A)5,7,20; d(T)20; (2′-OMe-A)5] proved to be highly potent antioxidants with IC50 values of 5–17 or 48–85 μM in inhibiting FeII/CuI- or CuII-induced H2O2 decomposition, respectively, thus representing a 40–215-fold increase in potency as compared with Trolox, a standard antioxidant. The antioxidant activity is only weakly dependent on the oligonucleotides’ length or base identity. We analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry and 1H-NMR spectroscopy the composition of the d(A)5 solution exposed to the aforementioned oxidative conditions for 4 min or 24 h. We concluded that the primary (rapid) inhibition mechanism by oligonucleotides is metal ion chelation and the secondary (slow) mechanism is radical scavenging. We characterized the CuI–d(A)5 and CuII–d(A)7 complexes by 1H-NMR and 31P-NMR or frozen-solution ESR spectroscopy, respectively. CuI is probably coordinated to d(A)5 via N1 and N7 of two adenine residues and possibly also via two phosphate/bridging water molecules. The ESR data suggest CuII chelation through two nitrogen atoms of the adenine bases and two oxygen atoms (phosphates or water molecules). We conclude that oligonucleotides at micromolar concentrations prevent FeII/CuI/II-induced oxidative damage, primarily through metal ion chelation. Furthermore, we propose the use of a short, metabolically stable oligonucleotide, (2′-OMe-A)5, as a highly potent and relatively long lived (t 1/2 ~ 20 h) antioxidant.
