    Abstract:
    Several studies reported that bisphenol A (BPA) and its metabolite hydroquinone (HQ) have adverse effects on human and animal health. In this work, a comparative study of influence of the BPA and HQ, environment pollutants, on human erythrocytes was carried out. It was shown that BPA and HQ to varying extents caused oxidative damage in human erythrocytes: hemolysis, decreased GSH level, and methemoglobin formation. It was demonstrated that hydrolysable tannins 3,6-bis-O-di-O-galloyl-1,2,4-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (C55H40O34) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (C41H32O26) (PGG) isolated from the Rhus typhina L. leaves in the range of 1-50 μM concentrations inhibited hemolysis and methemoglobin formation and also increased intracellular reduced glutathione in erythrocytes treated with BPA or HQ. It was revealed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using 5-doxyl-stearic acid (5-DS) that C55H40O34 and C41H32O26 increased the rigidity of erythrocyte membranes at the depth of 5th carbon atom of the fatty acid hydrocarbon chain. Taken together, these results allow to conclude that tannins from the Rhus typhina L. leaves protect erythrocytes from oxidative stress caused by BPA or HQ both due to their antioxidant activity as well as their interaction with the erythrocyte membrane components.
