N2 - The scavenging activity of extracts of green tea (GTE), white grape (WGE), and rosemary (RE), all plant material with high phenolic content, and of the phenolic compounds 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), (+)-catechin, and carnosic acid toward long-lived myosin radicals generated by reaction with H2O 2-activated myoglobin at room temperature (pH 7.5, I = 1.0) was investigated by freeze-quench ESR spectroscopy. Myosin radicals were generated by incubating 16 μM myosin, 800 μM metmyoglobin, and 800 μM H 2O2 for 10 min, and the phenolic extracts were subsequently added (1% (w/w) phenolic compounds relative to myosin). GTE was able to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the radical intensity by 65%. Furthermore, a low concentration of 4-MC (33 μM) was found to increase the radical concentration when added to the myosin radicals, whereas a higher concentration of 4-MC and catechin (330 μM) was found to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the overall radical concentration by ∼65%.
