SELECTIVE PHOTOOXIDATION OF THIOLS SENSITIZED BY AQUEOUS SUSPENSIONS OF CADMIUM SULFIDE

-Finely powdered cadmium sulfide in aqueous, air-saturated, phosphate buffered suspension sensitizes the photooxidation of cysteine to cystine with good efficiency; several additional thiols and inorganic sulfides are also photooxidized. The other amino acids (histidine, methionine, tryptophan, tyrosine) known to be rapidly photooxidized with typical organic photosensitizers are photooxidized only very slowly. The quantum yield of oxygen uptake during cysteine photooxidation is pH dependent with a maximum (0.021) at pH 9.5; the yield is not increased in D₂O and is not decreased appreciably by sodium azide, suggesting that singlet oxygen is not involved in the photooxidation process. The slow rate of photooxidation of histidine, which is known to react efficiently with singlet oxygen, also suggests that little if any singlet oxygen is produced by illuminated cadmium sulfide. Superoxide dismutase inhibits the yield of cysteine photooxidation to a maximum of approximately 50%, suggesting the partial involvement of superoxide in the reaction mechanism. The quantum yields of the photooxidation of cysteine, ethylenediaminetetraacetate and inorganic sulfides decrease as the wavelength of the exciting light is increased. Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase, a sulfhydryl enzyme, is inactivated by photodynamic treatment with cadmium sulfide; lysozyme, which has no free sulfhydryl groups, is not.     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF XANTHOBILIRUBIC ACID IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION: PRODUCT AND MECHANISM STUDIES

Abstract— Xanthobilirubic acid, an oxodipyrrylmethene with a chromophore very similar to that of bilirubin, was aerobically irradiated as its sodium salt in borate buffer at pH 8. Two photooxidation products, methylethylmaleimide and 5-formyl-2,4-dimethyl-1 H -pyrrole-3-propanoic acid, were isolated. These products can be rationalized on the basis of either a Type I or a Type II (singlet oxygen) photooxygenation mechanism. The reaction is inhibited by azide, a singlet oxygen quencher, and sensitized by methylene blue. However, both the self-sensitized and the methylene blue-sensitized reactions are enhanced, rather than inhibited, by high concentrations of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, another known singlet oxygen quencher. It is therefore proposed that the diazabicyclooctane can also act as an electron donor.
The self-sensitized photooxidation of xanthobilirubic acid is an autocatalytic reaction. This is supported by the fact that addition of a previously irradiated solution to a freshly-prepared solution significantly increases the rate of photodegradation. A similar catalyst is formed, but much more slowly, from xanthobilirubic acid in the dark in the presence of oxygen.     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF AROMATIC SULFIDES

Abstract

Dye sensitized photooxidation of sulfides proceeds by way of singlet oxygen to give sulfoxides and sulfones, and the evidence for several intermediates has been reported. We now report that photooxidation of aromatic sulfides gives the product of an unusual type; and the reaction may proceed by either superoxide or hydroperoxysulfurane. 9-Ethylthiofluorene was photooxidized in dichloromethane or acetone with methylene blue as sensitizer. Three main products were isolated and identified as fluorenone (15%), 9-fluorenyl ethyl sulfoxide (19%) and 1-hydroxyl-9-fluorenone (23%).     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF CHLOROPHYLL AND PHEOPHYTIN. QUENCHING OF SINGLET OXYGEN AND INFLUENCE OF THE MICELLAR STRUCTURE

Abstract— When chlorophyll(Chl) and pheophytin(Phn) are irradiated in Triton X-100 water binary solvents, singlet oxygen is formed in the medium in a higher yield for Phn than for Chi. Chlorophyll shows an irreversible photooxidation reaction and a chemical oxidation reaction when 1,3-diphenyliso-benzofuran (DPBF) is added to the solution. During the chemical oxidation, Chi is destroyed by an oxidizing agent that is a reaction product of the endoperoxide formed in the medium by the addition of singlet oxygen to DPBF. This reaction depends on the structure of the medium and has some characteristics of an oxidation by hydroxyl radicals. The highest yield is obtained with the micellar structure. Chlorophyll and Phn are readily oxidized by hydroxyl radicals generated using the Fenton reagent. This suggests that in the presence of Triton X-100, the Mg²⁺ ion of a Chi molecule plays a key role in the irreversible oxidation of the pigment.     

THE PHOTOOXIDATION OF 8-METHOXYPSORALEN

Abstract— The photooxidation of 8-methoxypsoralen has been studied. Enhancement of the reaction rate in deuterated solvents is in accord with the involvement of singlet oxygen. Several photoproducts including 6-formyl-7-hydroxy-8-methoxycoumarin and polymer are formed. Low temperature nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies give evidence of a peroxidic intermediate.     

SENSITIZED PHOTOOXIDATION OF AMINO ACIDS: EFFECTS ON THE REACTIVITY OF THEIR PRIMARY AMINE GROUPS WITH FLUORESCAMINE AND O-PHTHALALDEHYDE

Abstract— The photooxidation of his, met, trp and tyr with methylene blue and eosin as sensitizers resulted in a loss of primary amine reactivity as measured with fluorescamine and o-phthalaldehyde. The rates of oxygen uptake and of loss of primary amine reactivity with illumination was characteristic for each amino acid. Glycine did not photooxidize and showed no change in primary amine reactivity. Primary amine reactivity of the N -acetyl derivatives of these amino acids was negligible and during photooxidation the reactivity increased slowly with N -acetylhis and N -acetyltrp while the reactivity of N -acetylmet and N -acetyltyr did not change. Imidazole and indole also showed a slow increase in primary amine reactivity during sensitized photooxidation. The rate of oxygen uptake and primary amine reactivity loss during the sensitized photooxidation of his and met was markedly increased in deuterium oxide. This indicated that singlet oxygen was involved. Radical scavengers did not affect the rates indicating that free radical intermediates were not involved. Primary amine reactivity loss is probably due to intra- and/or inter-molecular secondary dark reactions between unknown initial oxygenation products and primary amino groups.     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF CITRONITRILE

Photooxidation of citronitrile followed by esterification gives two new perfume prod-ucts: acetic esters of 2-methyl-6-formyl-1, 5-dieneheptanol-3 and 7-cyano-2, 6-dimethyl-3,6-dieneheptanol-2. The content of the secondary alcohol isomer in -ene type reaction ofcitronitrile has been found to be extremely low. Formation of 2-formyltetrahydrofuran, theprecursor of 2-methyl-6-formyl-1,5-diene-3-heptyl acetate, might proceed via ketoneoxidation mechanism of the secondary alcohol. In order to confirm the proposed mechanism,the disappearance rate constants of citronitrile, linalool acetate have been determined by com-parison with the photooxidation rate constant of 2,3-diphenyl-p-hexadioxene-2. A tetrapterouscorrelation diagram of C-2 double bond photooxidation of cis- and trans-citronitriles has beenused to interpret our observations. The difference in the rate constants of cis- and trans-citronitriles provides new evidence supporting the stepwise mechanism of -ene type reactionof singlet oxygen.     

THE FLAVIN SENSITISED PHOTOOXIDATION OF ASCORBIC ACID: A CONTINUOUS AND FLASH PHOTOLYSIS STUDY

Abstract —The mechanism of the photooxidation of ascorbic acid by flavin mononucleotide has been studied by steady state and flash photolysis techniques. The primary reaction consists of an electron abstraction from ascorbic acid by the flavin singlet and triplet states by a diffusional process and in the latter case also by the formation of a triplet flavin-ascorbic acid complex. Under anaerobic conditions, the secondary reactions consist primarily of a radical recombination and a 'dark'chemical back reaction, leading to the reformation of unchanged flavin and ascorbic acid. In the presence of oxygen, the 'back reactions'are prevented, resulting in the efficient photooxidation of ascorbic acid.     

Protoporphyrin IX nanoparticle carrier: preparation, optical properties, and singlet oxygen generation

The present study is focused on developing a nanoparticle carrier for the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX for use in photodynamic therapy. The entrapment of protoporphyrin IX (Pp IX) in silica spheres was achieved by modification of Pp IX molecules with an organosilane reagent. The immobilized drug preserved its optical properties and the capacity to generate singlet oxygen, which was detected by a direct method from its characteristic phosphorescence decay curve at near-infrared and by a chemical method using 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran to trap singlet oxygen. The lifetime of singlet oxygen when a suspension of Pp IX-loaded particles in acetonitrile was excited at 532 nm was determined as 52 micros, which is in good agreement with the value determined for methylene blue in acetonitrile solution under the same conditions. The Pp IX-loaded silica particles have an efficiency of singlet oxygen generation (eta Delta) higher than the quantum yield of free porphyrins. This high efficiency of singlet oxygen generation was attributed to changes on the monomer-dimer equilibrium after photosentisizer immobilization.     

PROFLAVINE-SENSITIZED PHOTOOXIDATION OF METHIONINE

Abstract— A study was made of the kinetics of the proflavine-sensitized photooxidation of methionine to methionine sulfoxide. The reaction is inhibited by the paramagnetic ions Cu²⁺ and Mn²⁺, which suggests that the triplet state of the sensitizer is an intermediate. A mechanism is proposed in which methionine reacts with the first singlet state of oxygen, produced by energy transfer from the triplet sensitizer. The decrease in the rate of photooxidation with increasing proflavine concentration is ascribed to self-quenching of the excited singlet state of the dye.     

ENERGY TRANSFER AND PHOTOOXIDATION KINETICS IN REACTION CENTERS ON THE PICOSECOND TIME SCALE

Abstract— Picosecond 530 nm actinic and 1242 nm probe light pulses have been used to measure the kinetics of energy transfer and photooxidation in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R-26 reaction centers. The energy transfer rate between bacteriopheophytin and the bacteriochlorophyll dimer is 1.0 ± 0.3 ± 10¹¹s^-land photooxidation of the dimer occurs within 5 ps after the dimer reaches the first excited singlet state. Using these parameters in a simple model we are able to explain the odd result that the number of reaction centers oxidized by a saturating 530 nm actinic picopulse is only 60% of the number oxidized by a saturating CW light source.     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF EPINEPHRINE SENSITIZED BY METHYLENE BLUE—EVIDENCE FOR THE INVOLVEMENT OF SINGLET OXYGEN AND OF SUPEROXIDE

Abstract— The photooxidation of epinephrine, sensitized by methylene blue or by chlorophylls, excited with red light, involves the reduction of two molecules of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide per molecule of epinephrine oxidized to adrenochrome. The initial rates of these reactions are not affected by low concentrations of catalase. In 99 mol % D₂O, rates of methylene blue sensitized photooxidations are accelerated as much as 5.2 times over rates in ordinary water. Azide anion is a more effective inhibitor of this reaction in D₂O than in H₂O. Half maximal inhibitions are obtained by 1.3 mM azide in H₂O and by 0.1 mAf azide in D₂O. Isotope effects and azide sensitivities point to photooxidation of epinephrine in D₂O primarily by a singlet oxygen pathway; in H₂O, non-singlet oxygen pathways become more predominant. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) markedly inhibits rates of the photooxidations in H₂O and in D₂O; about 25% at 10^-9 M SOD, and 50% at 10^-6 M SOD in H₂O. In the photooxidation in H₂O, both by non-singlet and singlet oxygen mechanisms, the amount of superoxide produced is equivalent to the amount of O₂ consumed in the photooxidation of epinephrine; the superoxide thus formed participates in the oxidation of epinephrine.     

SENSITIZED PHOTOOXIDATION OF WOOL BY FLUORESCENT WHITENING AGENTS. A DIRECT SPECTRAL STUDY

Abstract—A fluorescence spectral study has been made of the photochemical behaviour of two types of fluorescent whitening agents, a naphthotriazolylstilbene and a bistriazinylaminostilbene, in single fibres of wool. The photodecomposition of each molecule of the naphthotriazolylstilbene is accompanied initially by the photooxidation of up to 7 residues of trp in the fibre. Amino acid analyses show that his and met residues are also photooxidized. Inhibition of the photooxidation of these amino acids by sodium azide suggests that singlet oxygen is involved in the reaction.     

Chlorin-type photosensitizers photochemically derived from vinyl porphyrins

The reaction of singlet oxygen with four vinyl-substituted dicarboxylic porphyrins, vinyldeuteroporphyrin (VD), ethylvinyldeuteroporphyrin (EVD), hydroxyethylvinyldeuteroporphyrin (HVD) and protoporphyrin (PP) in organic solutions is investigated. The main products, the "hydroxyaldehyde" chlorin-type derivatives, are formed with a concentration-dependent photochemical quantum yield that reaches a maximum of 7.4 +/- 1.6 x 10(-3). However, owing to the high turnover of singlet-oxygen production, these chlorin-type compounds are easily prepared photochemically with a chemical yield of 70% and little side product formation. In chemical ionization mass spectrometry, these compounds display an unusual fragmentation with a loss of 16 mass units. This is attributed to the loss of the oxygen bound to the saturated carbon of the modified pyrrole unit. All these compounds sensitize the formation of singlet oxygen with a yield around 0.8. They interact with singlet oxygen with rate constants of 5 x 10(6)-9 x 10(6) M-1 s-1, lower than those measured for vinyl porphyrins. These data are likely to help in the characterization of photoproducts of vinyl porphyrins relevant to photodynamic therapy (PP, HVD). As exemplified with VD and EVD, they also point out the reaction of singlet oxygen as an efficient route to chlorin-type photosensitizers.

PHOTOGENERATION OF SUPEROXIDE ION and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE FROM TRYPTOPHAN and ITS PHOTOOXIDATION PRODUCTS: THE ROLE OF 3a-HYDROPEROXYPYRROLIDINOINDOLE*

Abstract— Mechanism of the photogeneration of hydrogen peroxide and superoxide ion from tryptophan (Trp) and its photooxidation products was investigated. Near-ultraviolet irradiation of 3a-hydro-peroxypyrrolidinoindole, an intermediate in the photooxidation of Trp, has been shown to generate hydrogen peroxide efficiently under aerobic conditions. Irradiation of N-formylkynurenine in the presence of 3α-hydroxypyrrolidinoindole also produced hydrogen peroxide. The formation of superoxide ion in both reactions has been confirmed, whereas the reaction of Trp with chemically generated singlet oxygen did not produce any detectable amount of superoxide ion.     

在非质子溶剂中竹红菌甲素敏化光氧化胆红素

胆红素IX_α(胆红素)是哺乳动物体内血红素的代谢产物,由于它与小儿黄疸病光疗的直接关系,以及近来发现它在体内可能作为生物抗氧剂,所以一直受到科学家的重视。在非质子溶剂中胆红素的光氧化可以生成胆绿素IX_α(胆绿素)及一系列单吡咯、双吡咯的衍生物。对于生成单、双吡咯小分子衍生物,用类型Ⅱ(¹O₂为中间体)的光氧化机制很好解释,但对胆绿素的生成到底是经过单重态氧途径,还是离子自由基途径尚不完全清楚。     

Effect of Additives Containing a Heavy Atom on the Yield of Photooxidation Products of Arylazides

The effect of additives containing a heavy atom on the yield of nitroso and nitro compounds, the photooxidation products of arylazides, was studied. The addition of ethyl bromide to the reaction mixture increases the total yield of photooxidation products and the contribution of nitroso compounds. The assumption was made that the intersystem crossing (ISC) of nitrene from the singlet to the triplet state is the rate-determining step of the reaction, and the ISC of the singlet adduct of nitrene with oxygen is one of the steps of the reaction path leading to the formation of nitroso compounds.     

PHOTOOXIDATION OF 8-METHOXYPSORALEN WITH SINGLET OXYGEN*

Abstract— The in vitro photooxidation of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) with singlet oxygen is studied. Irradiation of 8-MOP(295–400 or320–400 nm) in the presence of oxygen for 72 h results in the formation of a product (1.4%) which is identified as 6-formyl-7-hydroxy-8-methoxycoumarin by aid of IR, NMR, MS and co-chromatography with an authentic sample. A study of this reaction in the presence of l,4-diazobicyclo(2,2,2)octane, a singlet oxygen scavenger, indicates the involvement of ¹O₂ in the formation of this compound. In addition to this, formation of a novel dimer of 8-MOP is reported.
