利用半经验AM1法研究了富勒烯C₆₀硫桥键联四硫富瓦烯衍生物和富勒烯C₆₀键联四硫富瓦烯衍生物的几何构型,电子结构.计算结果显示,富勒烯C₆₀硫桥键联四硫富瓦烯衍生物的四硫富瓦烯(TTF)平面与C₆₀发生作用,使其弯曲的程度比富勒烯C₆₀键联四硫富瓦烯衍生物的大,从而形成一种独特的四硫富瓦烯(TTF)平面半包裹C₆₀的空间构型的D-A体系.这很可能是由于C-S单键的灵活性造成的.而且它们的HOMO轨道主要分布在四硫富瓦烯(TTF)部分,而LUMO轨道则主要分布在C₆₀上.预测了富勒烯C₆₀硫桥键联四硫富瓦烯衍生物很有可能在激发态下产生更长寿命的电荷分离态.

有机富勒烯化合物的逆环加成反应

Near-ultraviolet photolysis of L-mandelate, formation of reactive oxygen species, inactivation of phage T7 and implications on human health

Compared with ultraviolet B and C, UVA is considered to have little direct effects on biological systems. However, damaging effects of UVA on biological systems are often synergistically enhanced in the presence of sensitizers. Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been implicated in the process. Several ROS have been identified but their involvement in inducing cellular damage is yet to be fully evaluated. Although membranes and proteins are affected, DNA is an important target and a variety of types of damage have been reported. Here, we present evidence that L-mandelate can act as a near UV (NUV) sensitizer, when activated by a lamp emitting 99% UVA and 1% UVB. Although evidence is available that H(2)O(2) and a small amount of *OH are produced, an alternative effect of the sensitization reaction may involve direct electron transfer. Studies have shown that NUV photolysis of mandelate can inactivate phage T7. Employment of tetrazolium blue test to detect superoxide anion may not be sufficient evidence as this agent may be reduced by alternative routes.

UV released factors induce antioxidant defense in A375 cells

UV light leads to release of different secretory factors from irradiated cells of which some of them have been characterized. We have reported earlier that cells exposed to the supernatant medium from irradiated cells were resistant to killing by some genotoxic agents. In this study, we present our finding that demonstrates DNA damage induced by UV or H(2)O(2) is lowered on prior exposure to the UV released factors (UVRF). Production of ROS in cells and lipid peroxidation was also lowered. It was found that treatment of unexposed cells with UVRF present in the supernatant medium altered the antioxidant defense activity in cells. Significant was the increase in catalase (CAT) and Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, whereas glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels remained unaffected. Cells exposed to UVRF prior to UV or H(2)O(2) treatment also experienced such upregulation; however, the remarkable increase in the GPx activity exhibited by these cells was not observed in cells exposed to H(2)O(2) or UV alone. It appears that exposure to UVRF tinkered with antioxidant defense in cells to facilitate its proliferation upon assault by an agent that can produce oxidative damage.     

Cu(II) Ions and the Stilbene-Chroman Hybrid with a Catechol Moiety Synergistically Induced DNA Damage, and Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis of HepG2 Cells: An Interesting Acid/Base-Promoted Prooxidant Reaction

Development of potential cancer treatment strategies by using an exogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating agent (prooxidant) or redox intervention, has attracted much interest. One effective ROS generation method is to construct a prooxidant system by polyphenolic compounds and Cu(II) ions. This work demonstrates that Cu(II) and the stilbene-chroman hybrid with a catechol moiety could synergistically induce pBR322 plasmid DNA damage, as well as cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Additionally, an interesting acid/base-promoted prooxidant reaction was found. The detailed chemical mechanisms for the reaction of the hybrid with Cu(II) in acid, neutral and base solutions are proposed based on UV/Vis spectral changes and identification of the related oxidative intermediates and products.

用于检测生物体系中线粒体活性氧的荧光探针

In addition to being the energy powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria are an important source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the process of molecular oxygen metabolism. Mitochondrial ROS are closely associated with normal physiological functions as well as human diseases, and participate in cell signaling, nucleic acid and protein damage, and oxidative stress induction. However, the complicated interplay between mitochondrial ROS and the cellular pathological state has not been fully elucidated. It is expected that research on the mitochondrial ROS undertaking in the molecular pathogenesis of human diseases would benefit from development of efficient tools for the detection of these ROS. In recent years, an increasing number of fluorescent probes for mitochondrial ROS with high sensitivity and selectivity have been developed. Here, we present a review of the recent advances in small molecular fluorescent probes for selective detection of ROS inside the mitochondria. In this review, the design, synthesis, characteristics, and applications of the published fluorescent probes for mitochondrial ROS are discussed in detail.     

Silibinin is a potent sensitizer of UVA radiation-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells

UVA radiation (315-400 nm), which constitutes ca 95% of the UV irradiation in natural sunlight reaching earth surface, is a major environmental risk factor associated with human skin cancer pathogenesis. UVA is an oxidizing agent that causes significant damage to cellular components through the release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to photoaging and photocarcinogenesis. Here we investigate the effect of silibinin, the flavonolignan from Silybum marianum, on UVA-induced ROS and cell death in human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. In addition, the effect of silibinin on UVA-induced intracellular ROS-mediated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was also analyzed. UVA irradiation resulted in ROS production and apoptosis in HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner, and the ROS levels and apoptotic index were found to be elevated significantly when the cells were treated with 75 μmsilibinin for 2 h before UVA exposure. When the cells were pretreated with 10 mmN-acetyl cysteine, the enhancement of UVA-induced apoptosis by silibinin was compromised. Furthermore, we found that silibinin enhances ER stress-mediated apoptosis in HaCaT cells by increasing the expression of CHOP protein. These results suggest that silibinin may be beneficial in the removal of UVA-damaged cells and the prevention of skin cancer.     

Electrochemical antioxidant detection technique based on guanine-bonded graphene and magnetic nanoparticles composite materials

An antioxidant (AO) amperometric technique based on guanine attached to graphene and Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) magnetic materials was developed. Guanine molecules acted as an antioxidant competitor were bonded with graphene nanosheets, onto which magnetic Fe(3)O(4) NPs were attached and the as-prepared magnetic composite can be attracted to the electrode surface by an external magnetic field. When applied with negative potentials, the dissolved oxygen was reduced to H(2)O(2) at the electrode surface, and then reacted with the EDTA-Fe(ii) complex via a Fenton-like reaction to produce OH radicals. After oxidation damage by OH radicals, the electrochemical oxidation of guanine gave a decreased current. In the presence of AOs, the reactive oxygen species (ROS, e.g. OH radicals and H(2)O(2)) were scavenged by AOs and fewer guanine probe molecules were oxidized, thus inducing a higher electrochemical oxidation current of guanine. So AOs competed with the guanine probe molecules toward oxidation by ROS. The current signals of the guanine probe molecules were proportional to the concentrations of AOs. A kinetic model was proposed to quantify the ROS scavenging capacities of the AOs. Using guanine as an oxidizable probe and OH radicals and H(2)O(2) as endogenous ROS, this kind of AO detection technique mimicks the antioxidant protection mechanism by small AO molecules in the human body.

Oxidation-extraction spectrometry of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by chlorophyllin magnesium (Chl-Mg) under ultrasonic irradiation

In order to examine the mechanism and process of sonodynamic reaction, the chlorophyllin magnesium (Chl-Mg) acting as a sonosensitizer was irradiated by ultrasound, and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by the method of oxidation-extraction spectrometry (OES). That is, under ultrasonic irradiation in the presence of Chl-Mg, the 1,5-diphenyl carbazide (DPCI) is oxidized by generated ROS into 1,5-diphenyl carbazone (DPCO), which can be extracted by mixed organic solvent and display a obvious visible absorption at 563 nm wavelength. Besides, the generation conditions of ROS were also reviewed. The results demonstrated that the quantities of generated ROS increased with the increase of ultrasonic irradiation time, Chl-Mg concentration and DPCI concentration. Finally, several radical scavengers (l-Histidine (His), 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-methylphenol (BHT) and Vitamin C (VC)) were used to determine the kind of the generated ROS. It was found that at least the hydroxyl radical (OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2) were generated in the presence of Chl-Mg under ultrasonic irradiation. It is wish that this paper might offer some valuable references for the study on the mechanism of SDT and the application of Chl-Mg in tumor treatment.
