Abstract Background Rosmarinic acid (RA) has a wide range of beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, RA been reported to induce metal-mediated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA damage. However, its mechanism remains unknown. In this study, clarify underlying mechanism, we analyzed damage in isolated treated with analog isorinic acid. Results plus Cu(II), but not Fe(III), significantly increased 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) formation, an indicator oxidative damage, calf thymus DNA. Furthermore, comparison 8-oxodG formation induced by suggested that catechol groups could be associated their abilities form 8-oxodG. Interestingly, Cu(II) was markedly enhanced addition NADH, endogenous reductant. To elucidate Cu(II)-induced examined 32 P-labeled presence Cu(II). caused cleavage, which piperidine treatment, suggesting causes only strand breakage also base modification. inhibited catalase (H 2 O scavenger), bathocuproine (Cu(I) chelator), methional (scavenger variety ROS than • OH) typical OH scavengers SOD, indicating involvement H , Cu(I), OH. cleavage site analysis showing RA-induced site-specific (frequently at thymine some cytosine residues) supports OH, because without specificity. Based these results, Cu(I) concomitant autoxidation lead production Cu(I)-hydroperoxide, induces o -Quinone -semiquinone radicals are likely again reduced dramatically increases particularly low concentrations RA. Conclusions physiologically relevant effectively through redox cycle reactions copper NADH.
