Free radicals formed by addition of antimalaric artemisinin (Qinghaosu,QHS) to human serum: an ESR-spin trapping investigation

The antimalaric drug artemisinin (QHS) is believed to operate through a mechanism initiated with the cleavage of its endoperoxidic bond induced by transition metal ions. An ESR investigation of the reaction of QHS with human serum in the presence of two spin trapping agents has led to the detection of spin adducts of carbon-centred radicals. Experiments carried out replacing the human serum with iron(II) salts led to the observation of the same spin adducts, thus supporting previous suggestions that alsoin vivo the drug operatesvia a radical-based mechanism. UV irradiation of QHS also led to the trapping of transient free radicals.     

Simultaneous electroanalysis of dopamine and ascorbic acid using poly (N,N-dimethylaniline)-modified electrodes

Glassy carbon (GC) electrode is modified with an electropolymerized film of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA). This polymer (PDMA) film-coated GC electrode is used to electrochemically detect dopamine (DA) in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA). Polymer film has the positive charge in its backbone, and in neutral solution DA exists as the positively charged species whereas AA exists as the negatively charged one. In cyclic voltammetric measurements, favorable ionic interaction (i.e., electrostatic attraction) between AA and PDMA film causes a large negative shift of the oxidation potential for AA compared to that at the bare electrode. Oxidation potential for DA is positively shifted due to the electrostatic repulsion. The PDMA film shows hydrophobicity by incorporating uncharged hydroquinone molecule within the film. DA is also incorporated into the film due to hydrophobic attraction even though DA has a positive charge. The responses of DA and AA at polymer-modified electrodes largely change with the concentration of the monomer (i.e., 0.2, 0.1 and 0.05 M DMA) used in electropolymerization and thus with the film thickness. Hydrophobicity of the polymer film shows great influence on the voltammetric responses of both DA and AA. In square wave voltammetric measurements, the PDMA film-coated electrode can separate the DA and AA oxidation potentials by about 300 mV and can detect DA at its low concentration (e.g., 0.2 microM) in the presence of 1000 times higher concentration of AA, which is close to the physiological level. AA oxidizes at more negative potential than DA. The electrode response is not affected by the oxidized product of AA. So unlike the bare electrode, the fouling effect as well as the catalytic oxidation of AA by the oxidized form of DA are eliminated at the PDMA film-coated GC electrode. The electrode exhibits the stable and sensitive response to DA.     

Manganese dioxide graphite composite electrodes: application to the electroanalysis of hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid and nitrite.

The modification of carbon powder with manganese dioxide using a wet impregnation procedure with electrochemical characterisation of the modified powder is described. The process involves saturation of the carbon powder with manganese(II) nitrate followed by thermal treatment at ca. 773 K leading to formation of manganese(IV) oxide on the surface of the carbon powder. The construction of composite electrodes based on manganese dioxide modified carbon powder and epoxy resin is also described, including optimisation of the percentage of the modified carbon powder. Composite electrodes showed attractive performances for electroanalytical applications, proving to be suitable for the electrochemical detection of hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid and nitrite ions with limits of detection comparable to the detection limits achieved by other analytical techniques. The results obtained for detection of these analytes, together with composite electrodes flexible design and low cost offers potential application of composite electrodes in biosensors.     

Microwave enhanced electroanalysis of formulations: processes in micellar media at glassy carbon and at platinum electrodes

The direct electroanalysis of complex formulations containing alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) is possible in micellar solution and employing microwave-enhanced voltammetry. In the presence of microwave radiation substantial heating and current enhancement effects have been observed at 330 microm diameter glassy carbon electrodes placed into a micellar aqueous solution and both hydrophilic and highly hydrophobic redox systems are detected. For the water soluble Fe(CN)(6)(3-/4-) redox system in micellar aqueous solutions of 0.1 M NaCl and 0.1 M sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) at low to intermediate microwave power, thermal effects and convection effects are observed. At higher microwave power, thermal cavitation is induced and dominates the mass transport at the electrode surface. For the micelle-soluble redox systems tert-butylferrocene and 2,5-di-tert-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone, strong and concentration dependent current responses are observed only in the presence of microwave radiation. For the oxidation of micelle-soluble alpha-tocopherol current responses at glassy carbon electrodes are affected by adsorption and desorption processes whereas at platinum electrodes, analytical limiting currents are obtained over a wide range of alpha-tocopherol concentrations. However, for the determination of alpha-tocopherol in a commercial formulation interference from proteins is observed at platinum electrodes and direct measurements are possible only over a limited concentration range and at glassy carbon electrodes.     

Functional vibrational spectroscopy of a cytochrome c monolayer: SEIDAS probes the interaction with different surface-modified electrodes

Electrochemically induced infrared difference spectra of cytochrome c on various chemically modified electrodes (CMEs) are recorded by exploiting the surface-enhancement exerted by a granular gold film. We have recently developed surface-enhanced infrared difference absorption spectroscopy (SEIDAS), which provides acute sensitivity to observe the minute enzymatic change of a protein on the level of a monolayer. By these means, we demonstrate that the relative band intensities in the potential-induced difference spectra of adsorbed cytochrome c are significantly dependent on the type of CME used (mercaptopropionic acid, mercaptoethanol, 4,4'-dithiodipyridine, or L-cysteine). These differences are attributed to the altered interaction of cytochrome c with the headgroup of the various CMEs leading to variations in surface orientation and relative distance from the surface. Nevertheless, the peak positions of the observed bands are identical among the CMEs employed. This implies that the internal conformational changes induced by the redox reaction of the adsorbed cytochrome c are not disturbed by the interaction with the CME and that full functionality of the protein is retained. Finally, we critically discuss our results within the framework of the different models for cytochrome c adsorption on CMEs.     

Studies on Fe–Co spinel electrodes

FeCo₂O₄ spinel oxide pelleted electrodes were prepared from the respective powders, obtained by low-temperature coprecipitation method. X-ray diffraction studies suggest the coexistence of two spinel phases, with different a-cell parameters. The samples show semiconductor-type behaviour, in the range 530–340 K. The estimated activation energy for conduction is about 0.7 eV. These phases are stable, after being used as electrode materials, as the XRD and SEM/EDS results show. Cyclic voltammetry has been used to investigate the electrochemical behaviour of the FeCo₂O₄ electrodes in 1 mol dm⁻³ KOH aqueous solutions. The voltammetric data allowed finding out the redox reactions occurring at the electrode surface, namely Fe₃O₄·4H₂O/Fe(OH)₂ or Fe₃O₄/Fe₂O₃ and CoO₂/CoOOH by comparing the experimental results with those referred in the literature.     

On the open-circuit interaction between methanol and oxidized platinum electrodes

In the present work, results of the interaction between methanol and oxidized platinum surfaces as studied via transients of open-circuit potentials are presented. The surface oxidation before the exposure to interaction with 0.5 M methanol was performed at different polarization times at 1.4 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). In spite of the small changes in the initial oxide content, the increase of the pre-polarization time induces a considerable increase of the time needed for the oxide consumption during its interaction with methanol. The influence of the identity of the chemisorbing anion on the transients was also investigated in the following media: 0.1 M HClO₄, 0.5 M H₂SO₄, and 0.5 M H₂SO₄ + 0.1 mM Cl⁻. It was observed that the transient time increases with the energy of anion chemisorption and, more importantly, without a change in the shape of the transient, meaning that free platinum sites are available at the topmost layer all over the transient and not only in the potential region of small oxide ‘coverage’. The impact of the pre-polarization time and the effect of anion chemisorption on the transients are rationalized in terms of the presence of surface and subsurface oxygen driven by place exchange.

Spectroelectrochemical examination of the interaction between bacterial cells and gold electrodes

The interaction between bacterial cells of Pseudomonas fluorescens (ATCC 17552) and gold electrodes was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and attenuated total reflection-surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (ATR-SEIRAS). The voltammetric evaluation of cell adsorption showed a decrease in the double-layer capacitance of polyoriented single-crystal gold electrodes with cell adhesion. As followed by IR spectroscopy in the ATR configuration, the adsorption of bacterial cells onto thin-film gold electrodes was mainly indicated by the increase in intensity with time of amide I and amide II protein-related bands at 1664 and 1549 cm(-1), respectively. Bands at 1448 and 2900 cm(-1) corresponding to the scissoring and the stretching bands of CH2 were also detected, together with a minor peak at 1407 cm(-1) due to the vs COO- stretching. Weak signals at 1237 cm(-1) were due to amide III, and a broad band between 1100 and 1200 cm(-1) indicated the presence of alcohol groups. Bacteria were found to displace water molecules and anions coadsorbed on the surface in order to interact with the electrode intimately. This fact was evidenced in the SEIRAS spectra by the negative features appearing at 3450 and 3575 cm-1, corresponding to interfacial water directly interacting with the electrode and water associated with chloride ions adsorbed on the electrode, respectively. Experiments in deuterated water confirmed these assignments and allowed a better estimation of amide absorption bands. In CV experiments, an oxidation process was observed at potentials higher than 0.4 V that was dependent on the exposure time of electrodes in concentrated bacterial suspensions. Adsorbed bacterial cells were found to get closer to the gold surface during oxidation, as indicated by the concomitant increment in the main IR bacterial signals including amide I, a sharp band at 1240 cm(-1), and a broad one at 1120 cm(-1) related to phosphate groups in the bacterial membranes. It is proposed to be due to the oxidation of lipopolysaccharides on the outermost bacterial surface.
