Resumen
Ultraviolet B (UVB) light corresponds to 5% of ultraviolet radiation. It is more genotoxic and mutagenic than UVA and causes direct and indirect cellular damage through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Even after radiation, ROS generation may continue through activation of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOX) enzyme. Long-term exposure can progress to premature skin aging and photocarcinogenesis. To prevent damage that is caused by UVB radiation, several studies have focused on the topical administration of compounds that have antioxidant properties. 2-Acetylphenothiazine (ML171) is a potent and selective inhibitor of NOX1. The present study investigated the antioxidant potential and photoprotective ability of ML171 in UVB-irradiated L929 fibroblasts. ML171 had considerable antioxidant activity in both the DPPH• and xanthine/luminol/xanthine oxidase assays. ML171 did not induce cytotoxicity in L929 fibroblasts and increased the viability of UVB-irradiated cells. ML171 also inhibited ROS production, the enzymatic activity of NOX, depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane, and DNA damage. Additionally, ML171 protected cell membrane integrity and induced fibroblast migration. These results suggest that the incorporation of ML171 in topical administration systems may be a promising strategy to mitigate UVB-induced oxidative damage in L929 fibroblasts.
