UV irradiation is a major driver of DNA damage and ultimately skin cancer. UV exposure leads to persistent radicals that generate ROS over prolonged periods of time. Toward the goal of developing long-lasting antioxidants that can penetrate skin, we have designed a ROS-initiated protective (RIP) reagent that, upon reaction with ROS (antioxidant activity), self-cyclizes and then releases the natural product apocynin. Apocynin is a known antioxidant and inhibitor of NOX oxidase enzymes. A key phenol on the compound 1 controls ROS-initiated cyclization and makes 1 responsive to ROS with a EC50 comparable to common antioxidants in an ABTS assay. In an in vitro DNA nicking assay, the RIP reagent prevented DNA strand breaks. In cell-based assays, the reagent was not cytotoxic, apocynin was released only in cells treated with UVR, reduced UVR-induced cell death, and lowered DNA lesion formation. Finally, topical treatment of human skin explants with the RIP reagent reduced UV-induced DNA damage as monitored by quantification of cyclobutane dimer formation and DNA repair signaling via TP53. The reagent was more effective than administration of a catalase antioxidant on skin explants. This chemistry platform will expand the types of ROS-activated motifs and enable inhibitor release for potential use as a long-acting sunscreen.
