Structure and synthesis
editMalondialdehyde mainly exists as its enol, hydroxyacrolein:[2]
- CH2(CHO)2 → HOC(H)=CH-CHO
In organic solvents, the cis-isomer is favored, whereas in water the trans-isomer predominates. The equilibrium is rapid and is inconsequential for many purposes.
In the laboratory it can be generated in situ by hydrolysis of its acetal 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane, which is commercially available and shelf-stable, unlike malondialdehyde.[2] Malondialdehyde is easily deprotonated to give the sodium salt of the enolate (m.p. 245 °C).
Biosynthesis and reactivity
editMalondialdehyde results from lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.[3] It is a prominent product in thromboxane A2 synthesis wherein cyclooxygenase 1 or cycloxygenase 2 metabolizes arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2 by platelets and a wide array of other cell types and tissues. This product is further metabolized by thromboxane synthase to thromboxane A2, 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid, and malonyldialdehyde. Alternatively, it may rearrange non-enzymatically to a mixture of 8-cis and 8-trans isomers of 12-hydroxyeicosaheptaenoic acid plus malonyldialdehyde (see 12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid).[4] The degree of lipid peroxidation can be estimated by the amount of malondialdehyde in tissues.[3]
Reactive oxygen species degrade polyunsaturated lipids, forming malondialdehyde.[5] This compound is a reactive aldehyde and is one of the many reactive electrophile species that cause toxic stress in cells and form covalent protein adducts referred to as "advanced lipoxidation end-products" (ALE), in analogy to advanced glycation end-products (AGE).[6] The production of this aldehyde is used as a biomarker to measure the level of oxidative stress in an organism.[7][8]
Malondialdehyde reacts with deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine in DNA, forming DNA adducts, the primary one being M1G, which is mutagenic.[9] The guanidine group of arginine residues condense with malondialdehyde to give 2-aminopyrimidines.
Human ALDH1A1 aldehyde dehydrogenase is capable of oxidizing malondialdehyde.
Analysis
editMalondialdehyde and other thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS) condense with two equivalents of thiobarbituric acid to give a fluorescent red derivative that can be assayed spectrophotometrically.[2][10] 1-Methyl-2-phenylindole is an alternative more selective reagent.[2]
Hazards and pathology
editMalondialdehyde is reactive and potentially mutagenic.[11] It has been found in heated edible oils such as sunflower and palm oils.[12]
Corneas of patients with keratoconus and bullous keratopathy have increased levels of malondialdehyde, according to one study.[13] MDA also can be found in tissue sections of joints from patients with osteoarthritis.[14]
Levels of malondialdehyde can be also considered (as a marker of lipid peroxidation) to assess the membrane damage in spermatozoa; this is crucial because oxidative stress affects sperm function by altering membrane fluidity, permeability and impairing sperm functional competence.[15]
