Superoxide dismutase ISOD), catalase, hydroxyl radical (OH) scavengers and singlet oxygen (1O2) quenchers suppress the light signal from a xanthine oxidase/acetaldehyde system. Xanthine oxidase inhibitor allopurinol also suppresses the light signal from the system. Dilazep HCl (10-5-10-3M) suppresses the chemiluminescence in a concentration dependent manner without affecting the xanthine oxidase activity. These results suggest that dilazep exhibits a radical scavenger-like action.
