However, the detailed radical-scavenging mechanism of AscH(2) has yet to be fully clarified. In this study, we investigated the radical-scavenging kinetics of AscH(2) and 5,6-isopropylidenen ascorbic acid (iAscH(2)) in the absence or presence of magnesium ion (Mg(2+)). AscH(2) efficiently scavenged galvinoxyl and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals (GO radical and DPPH radical, respectively) in deaerated methanol (MeOH) at 298 K. The pseudo-first-order rate constants (k(obs)) determined for these reactions increased with increasing AscH(2) concentration to reach constant values. The k(obs) values were significantly decreased in the presence of 0.1 M Mg(ClO(4))(2). Similar results were obtained for the reactions of iAscH(2) with these radicals in deaerated MeOH as well as in deaerated acetonitrile (MeCN). The detailed radical-scavenging mechanisms will be discussed based on the kinetic data obtained in this study., 19th Annual Meeting of the Society for Free Radical Biology and Medicine (SFRBM 2012)}, title = {Radical-Scavenging Reactions of Ascorbic Acid and Its Analogue in the Presence of a Redox-Inactive Metal Ion}, year = {2012} }
