三氯化铁对聚丙烯光氧化降解的作用

用红外及紫外光谱法研究了三氯化铁(FeCl₃)对聚丙烯(PP)光氧化降解的影响。实验结果表明,FeCl₃对聚丙烯光氧化有显著的促进作用,但促进作用与FcCl₃含量之间不成线性关系,存在一促进作用的极大值(在本实验条件下,FeCl₃含量为0.5%时,促进作用最大)。实验还表明,FeCl₃的作用可能包含了通过光解产生自由基引发PP光氧化反应、催化分解氢过氧化物以及光屏蔽等几种作用。根据FeCl₃的作用机理,解释了FeCl₃对PP光氧化降解的促进作用与其含量的依赖关系中存在的极位现象。

Kinetics of the formation of biliverdin during the photochemical oxidation of bilirubin monitored by column liquid chromatography

In the photochemical oxidation of bilirubin, biliverdin is formed as the primary product and is further degraded. This photooxidation is especially significant in the presence of riboflavin. Column liquid chromatography was used to monitor the kinetics of this reaction. The biliverdin concentration amounts to a maximum of ca. 38% of the total loss of bilirubin in experiments in vitro. It is probable that this mechanism is also operative during phototherapy. The formation of a product of the photooxidation of biliverdin that has not yet been identified has been observed; the product behaves as a dimer. A method for the determination of biliverdin in the blood of newborn infants has been developed. It has been found that the biliverdin content increases during hyperbilirubinaemia.     

Study of the mechanism of the photochemical oxidation of bilirubin by high-performance liquid chromatography

The photochemical degradation of bilirubin was studied in vitro using high-performance liquid chromatography and spectrophotometry. Attention was centered on the formation of biliverdin, which is produced as an intermediate in the photooxidation catalysed by riboflavin. approximate values of the overall and partial relative rate constants were calculated using the physiochemical criteria for a pseudo-monomolecular reaction. A more precise evaluation was made by non-linear regression programmes on a Hewlett-Packard 9835 A computer. In addition to the formation of biliverdin, attention was also paid to accompanying processes affecting the reaction mechanism, which were explained as aggregation and dimerization of bilirubin and biliverdin. It was also found that during phototherapy of newborn babies suffering from hyperbilirubinaemia the level of biliverdin in the plasma increased. The results are discussed from the point of view of phototherapy.     

Study of the mechanism of the photoisomerization and photooxidation of bilirubin using a model for the phototherapy of hyperbilirubinemia

Liquid chromatography was employed for a study of photochemical degradation of bilirubin in the complex with human albumin, using a model system in the presence of riboflavin. The concentrations of bilirubin, the photoisomers and biliverdin were monitored. The reaction mechanism was verified using a quantified mathematical model and was represented by a reaction scheme. Photoisomerization is the initial process, followed by photooxidation to degradation products of the tetrapyrrole skeleton, with formation of biliverdin as an intermediate. The blood of newborns that were irradiated for treatment of hyperbilirubinemia was studied for the sake of comparison. The effect of some biochemically important substances was followed, in view of possible inhibition of the processes. The experimental results demonstrate that riboflavin acts as a catalyst, even at the concentrations typical for its occurrence in blood. The results are discussed from the point of view of the mechanism of bilirubin degradation during phototherapy.     

THE TRIPLET EXCITED STATES OF BILIVERDIN AND BILIVERDIN DIMETHYL ESTER

Abstract— The triplet states of biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester have been generated using pulse radiolysis excitation. Biliverdin triplet was formed by energy transfer from biphenyl triplet in acetone, absorbed throughout the wavelength range studied (380–1000 nm) and had a half-life of 11.7μs under the cpnditions chosen. Biliverdin dimethyl ester triplet was formed by energy transfer from biphenyl triplet in benzene, likewise absorbed throughout the wavelength range studied (360–1000 nm) and had a half-life of 6.7μs under the conditions used. Both biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester efficiently quench anthracene, naphthacene, but not μ-carotene, triplet states. On the other hand. neither μ-carotene nor oxygen were found to quench the triplet states of biliverdin or biliverdin dimethyl ester. Estimates or limits for the rate constants of all these quenching reactions were obtained. These reactivities suggest that the triplet levels of both biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester lie around 90 kJ mol^-1. The triplet energy transfer rate from bilirubin to biliverdin dimethyl ester in benzene was measured to be 1.9 × 10⁹ M^-1 s^-1. The singlet-triplet intersystem crossing efficiencies of both molecules were very low, limits of 0.004 and 0.001 being found for biliverdin and biliverdin dimethyl ester, respectively, using 347 nm laser excitation.     

THE QUANTUM YIELD FOR BILIRUBIN PHOTOISOMERISATION

Abstract— The difference extinction coefficient, dL₅₀₀, for the photoisomerisation of bilirubin (BR) bound to human serum albumin is determined, by isolation of the product, as 4000 1000 mol_-1 dm₃ cm_-1, This value is used with laser flash photolysis data to calculate the quantum yield for photoisomerisation as 0.2 +- 0.05 which allows the quantitative demonstration of the much higher efficiency of photoisomerisation compared with self sensitised photooxidation. Similar findings were made for BR in organic solvents and suggest that photoisomerising action is the major relaxation path for excited BR under a variety of conditions.     

POLYMER BOUND PYRROLE COMPOUNDS–VI. PHOTOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF MONOMERIC MODELS FOR POLYSTYRENE-BOUND PORPHYRINS

Abstract— Several porphyrin esters used as models for polystyrene-bound porphyrins have been prepared and their excited states have been studied by laser flash photolysis, IR phosphorescence of singlet molecular oxygen, O₂(¹Δ_g), and steady-state fluorescence. The photophysical properties of the porphyrin esters in solution are affected by the presence of nitro group(s) in the chain. In this case, an important decrease in φ_f, φ_T and φ_δ (to ca 0.7–0.4 of the value for the parent dimethyl ester) is observed. This is mainly due to intramolecular electron-transfer quenching [by the nitro group(s)] of the first excited singlet state of the porphyrin. The thermodynamic feasibility of this deactivation pathway has been confirmed polarographically. Quenching of the porphyrin triplet state and of O₂(¹Δ_g) by the nitro groups is negligible. The present conclusions explain also the results obtained previously for the photooxidation of bilirubin sensitized by the parent insoluble polystyrene-bound porphyrins. In that case the photooxidation rates were correlated directly with the quantum yield of O₂(¹Δ_g) production by the sensitizer. The consequences of these results for the use of polystyrene-bound porphyrins in sensitized photooxidation processes are discussed.

Modeling of biliverdin reduction process: regio-specificity and H-bonding

Octa ethyl biliverdin (OEBV) has been employed as a model for natural biliverdin and its geometry has been optimized by using semiempirical (AM1, PM3), DFT, and hybrid ONIOM methods. Geometries and energetics of formation of octa ethyl bilirubin (OEBR) formed by reduction from OEBV via three carbon sites β, γ, and δ have been obtained. It has been shown that γ-OEBR has two configurational isomers (named γ₁ and γ₂), which can convert to each other by internal 1,5-hydrogen shift. The results show that, within the accuracy level of semiempirical methods, all three isomers namely, β, γ₁, and δ-OEBR are of similar stability whereas, at higher level of theory, γ₁-OEBR is less stable than others. Moreover, γ₂-isomer with one more of its pyrrole rings being aromatic can achieve a higher symmetry, and is the most stable among others by at least 5–6 kcal mol⁻¹ based on various methods employed. It is interesting to note that the ridge-tile conformation, which has been confirmed for natural bilirubin was not observed for calculated geometries of γ₁- and γ₂-isomers. A conformational analysis show that an energy barrier of 25 kcal mol⁻¹ must be surmounted for γ₂ to obtain the ridge-tile geometry.

OEBV was synthesized and purified from octa ethyl porphyrin iron (III) chloride, and was reduced to OEBR by sodium borohydride (NaBH₄). Chemical reduction of OEBV with NaBH₄ was followed in CDCl₃ and CD₃OD solutions and the product was characterized by ¹H NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The results show that γ₂-isomer as the major product, forms along with γ₁ via an equilibrium tautomerization reaction.     

THE PRODUCTION OF SINGLET MOLECULAR OXYGEN BY ZINC(II) PHTHALOCYANINE IN ETHANOL AND IN UNILAMELLAR VESICLES. CHEMICAL QUENCHING AND PHOSPHORESCENCE STUDIES

Abstract— Zn(II)phthalocyanine (ZnPc) generates O₂(¹Δ_g) with a quantum yield of ca. 0.4 upon photocxcitation at 354 or 600 nm in ethanolic solution as determined by time-resolved phosphorescence studies at 1270 nm and photooxidation experiments using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) as substrate. The quantum yield of photooxidation slightly increases upon incorporation of ZnPc into unilamellar liposomes of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. Under our irradiation conditions (600 nm, 18^°C, and short light exposure times), DPBF(5–50 μM) undergoes photooxidation by a pure Type II mechanism; the rate constant for the O₂(¹Δ_g) + DPBF reaction is (1.1 ±0.1) x 10⁹ M^-1 s^_1 in ethanol solution and determined to be about two orders of magnitude smaller when both ZnPc and DPBF are embedded into liposomes.
