Spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide based on oxidative catalytic reactions of p-hydroxyphenyl derivatives with metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate on a modified anion-exchanger.

The peroxidase-like catalytic activity of metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (TCAS[4]) on a modified anion-exchanger (Me(n+)-TCAS[4]A-500; Me(n+) = H2, Fe3+, Fe2+, Mn3+, Co3+, Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+) for the oxidation of p-hydroxyphenyl derivatives to produce fluorescent substances in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been investigated. Among the Me(n+)-TCAS[4]A-500 tested, Fe(3+)-TCAS[4]A-500 exhibited the highest level of catalytic activity for the oxidation of p-acetoamidophenol in a carbonate buffer solution of pH 10. The catalytic activity of Fe(3+)-TCAS[4]A-500 was then used for the spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide. The calibration curve for the Fe(3+)-TCAS[4]A-500 method was linear over a range spanning from 0.1 to 5.0 microg of hydrogen peroxide in a 1.0 ml sample solution.     

Catalytic activity for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by metal complexes of water-soluble thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate on the modified anion-exchangers

The catalytic activity for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by anion-exchangers modified with metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (Me(n+)-TCAS[4], Me(n+)=Mn(3+), Mn(2+), Fe(3+), Co(3+), Co(2+), Cu(2+), Zn(2+) and Ni(2+)) was investigated. As a reference, calix[4]arenetetrasulfonate, calix[6]arenehexasulfonate and calix[8]areneoctasulfonate were also examined. Mn(3+)- and Fe(3+)-TCAS[4] on the modified anion-exchangers showed high catalytic activity in alkaline buffer solutions among metal complexes tested. Mn(3+)- and Fe(3+)-TCAS[4] on the modified anion-exchangers exhibited high and constant levels of catalytic activity even after having been used 5 times, and showed catalytic activity in the presence of an excess of H(2)O(2) over Mn(3+)- and Fe(3+)-TCAS[4] on the modified anion-exchangers. Only Mn(3+)-TCAS[4] on the modified anion-exchangers exhibited high catalytic activity at around a neutral pH.     

Potentiometric flow-injection determination of trace hydrogen peroxide based on its induced reaction in iron(III)-iron(II) potential buffer containing bromide and molybdenum(VI)

A rapid and highly sensitive potentiometric flow-injection method for the determination of trace hydrogen peroxide was developed by use of an Fe(III)-Fe(II) potential buffer solution containing bromide and Mo(VI). The analytical method was based on a linear relationship between a concentration of hydrogen peroxide and a largely transient potential change of an oxidation-reduction potential electrode due to bromine generated by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with the potential buffer solution. The oxidation of bromide to bromine by hydrogen peroxide occurred very rapidly with the assistance of Mo(VI) when Fe(II) existed in the potential buffer solution. It was estimated by batchwise experiments that hydroxyl radical, OH., was generated by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with Fe(II) as an intermediate, and subsequently oxidized bromide to bromine. In a flow system, analytical sensitivities to hydrogen peroxide obtained by the detection of the transient change of potential were enhanced about 75 fold compared with those obtained by using the potential change caused by the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with the potential buffer solution without bromide and Mo(VI). Sensitivities increased with decreasing concentration of the Fe(III)-Fe(II) buffer in the reagent solution. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of 4 x 10(-7) M (13.6 ppb) was achieved by using the 1 x 10(-4) M Fe(III)-Fe(II) buffer containing 0.4 M NaBr, 1.0 M H(2)SO(4) and 0.5% (NH(4))(6)Mo(7)O(24). Analytical throughput was approximately 40 h(-1) and the RSD (n = 6) was 0.6% for measurement of 4 x 10(-6) M hydrogen peroxide. The proposed method was applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in real rainwater samples, and was found to provide a good recovery for H(2)O(2) added to rainwater samples.     

Flow injection analysis of hydrogen peroxide using glass-beads modified with manganese(III)-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine derivative and its analytical application to the determination of serum glucose.

A flow injection analysis system of hydrogen peroxide was developed. The present system is based on measuring of the absorbance of a quinoid dye formed by the following reaction catalyzed by peroxidase: Phenol + 4-Aminoantipyrine + 2H2O2 --> Peroxidase --> Quinoid dye + 4H2O. A column packed with aminopropyl-glass beads modified with amanganese(III)-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine derivative (Mn-TCPP(G) column), which has peroxidase-like activity, was used in place of an immobilized peroxidase column in the above reaction. The linear range of the calibration curve was 0.4-80 microg/ml hydrogen peroxide. The relative standard deviation of this system was 2.97% (n = 100, 10 microg/ml hydrogen peroxide 20 microl injection). The Mn-TCPP(G) column has sufficiently stability for the continuous injection of hydrogen peroxide untill 100 times. The advantageous feature of the Mn-TCPP(G) column was a less-electrostatic interaction between the mother glass beads and the anionic chromogen or quinoid dye formed and the stability in terms of the storage, temperature and moisture. The determination of serum glucose was achieved by attaching an immobilized glucose oxidase column to this system without deproteinization.     

Scavenging effects of metal complexes of water-soluble thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate on superoxide anion radicals

The scavenging effects of metal complexes of thiacalix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (Me-TCAS[4], Me=H?, Fe3(+), Mn3(+), Mn2(+), Cu2(+), and Zn2(+)) on superoxide anion radicals (O??) generated from the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system were investigated by the nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) method and electron spin resonance (ESR) spin-trapping method using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as a trapping reagent. As a reference, calix[4]arenetetrasulfonate (H?)-CAS[4]), calix[6]arenehexasulfonate (H?-CAS[6]) and calix[8]areneoctasulfonate (H?-CAS[8]) were also examined. The results by the NBT method indicated that Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] exhibited the highest O?? scavenging activity among Me-TCAS[4] and H?-CAS[n] (n = 4, 6, 8) in this study. The IC?? values of Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] for O?? scavenging activity were estimated to be 5.3 and 7.8 μM, respectively, and were almost the same as those of tannin acid, catechin and their derivatives, which are known as very effective scavengers of O??. Scavenging activities were in the order of Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4]>Mn2(+)-, Cu2(+)-, and Zn(2+)-TCAS[4]>H(2)-TCAS[4] and H?-CAS[n] (n=4, 6, 8). Each activity of Me-TCAS[4] (Me=Fe3(+), Mn3(+), Mn2(+), Cu2(+), and Zn2(+)) was higher than that of the corresponding metal ion, indicating that H?-TCAS[4] has the ability to raise the activity of the metal ion itself by forming a complex. Also, the ESR spin-trapping method revealed that Fe3(+)- and Mn3(+)-TCAS[4] showed high O?? scavenging activities, similarly to the results by the NBT method.

Peroxidase-like activity of magnetoferritin

Magnetoferritin is a spherical biomacromolecule with a diameter of about 12 nm. It consists of a protein shell composed of apoferritin that is surrounding magnetic nanoparticles of magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or maghemite (γ-Fe₂O₃). Magnetoferritins with various iron content (loading factor) were synthetically prepared and their peroxidase-like activities studied via the oxidation of the chromogenic substrate N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate by hydrogen peroxide to give a purple product with an absorption maximum at 551 nm. Magnetoferritin with higher loading factor exhibits a higher peroxidase-like activity. The catalytic activity was successfully applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in the 5.8 to 88.2 mM concentration range.

Studies on catalytic fluorescence formation with peroxidase-like metallotetrakis(N-methylpyridiniumyl) porphyrins

The relative ability of peroxidase-like metallotetrakis(N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrins [Me-TMPyP, Me = Mn(III), Fe(III), Co(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II)] to catalyse the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of homovanillic acid to a fluorescent dimer has been studied. The complexes of Mn, Fe and Co are effective catalysts in the reaction, but the complexes of Ni, Cu and Zn are not. The catalytic behaviour of Mn-TMPyP, Fe-TMPyP and Co-TMPyP has been compared with that of HRP in both enzymatic and kinetic analysis. The sequence of peroxidase-like catalytic activity is Mn-TMPyP> Co-TMPyP> Fe-TMPyP. The catalytic activity of Mn-TMPyP is 84% of that of HRP. These Me-TMPyP (Me = Mn, Fe, and Co) compounds are good substitutes for HRP in enzymatic analysis. Traces of hydrogen peroxide and glucose can be determined with the Me-TMPyP systems.     

Catalytic effects of peroxidase-like metalloporphyrins on the fluorescence reaction of homovanillic acid with hydrogen peroxide

Summary The catalytic effects of peroxidase-like metalloporphyrins (Me-P) on the fluorescence reaction of homovanillic acid with hydrogen peroxide have been studied. These metalloporphyrins are the complexes of Mn with tetrakis(carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TPPC) and trikis(sulfophenyl)porphyrin(TPPS₃), Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag and Sn with tetrakis(sulfophenyl)porphyrin(TPPS₄), and Rh, Pt and Pd with tetrakis(N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin-(TMPyP) and hemin. The complexes of Mn, Fe, Co, Rh and Pt with porphyrins catalyzed the formation of the fluorescence product, while the complexes of Ni, Cu, Zn, Ag, Sn and Pd did not. Traces of hydrogen peroxide and glucose can be determined using the metalloporphyrins. The characteristics of peroxidase-like metalloporphyrins have been compared with those of horseradish peroxidase (HRP).     

Fluorescent quenching method for determination of trace hydrogen peroxide in rain water

A simple and sensitive fluorescent quenching method for the determination of trace hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) has been proposed to determine hydrogen peroxide in rain water sample. The method is based on the reaction of H(2)O(2) with 3,3'-diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DI) to form a compound which has no fluorescence in acetate buffer solution (pH 3.09). The maximum emission wavelength of the system is located at 604 nm with excitation at 570 nm. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration graph was obtained between the quenched fluorescence intensity and hydrogen peroxide concentration in the range of 5.0 x 10(-7) to 9.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1). The proposed method was applied to determine H(2)O(2) in rain water samples, and the result was satisfactory. The mechanism involved in the reaction was also studied.

Application of crude extract of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) as a rich source of peroxidase in the spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide in honey samples.

Crude extract of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) was prepared by a simple procedure and its enzymatic activity and total protein concentration were determined. It was found that this crude extract is a rich source of peroxidase (POx) and has high specific activity. Cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone was used as a stabilizer in the preparation of the crude extract. The POx activity of kohlrabi crude extract did not vary for at least 2 months when deoxygenated and stored at 4 degrees C. This extract was applied for the spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide using homovanillic acid as a fluorogenic substrate. POx catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of homovanillic acid to produce a dimer which shows strong fluorescence at 420 nm with excitation at 312 nm. In the optimum conditions, the calibration graph for hydrogen peroxide was linear up to 190 ng mL(-1), with a detection limit of 4.4 ng mL(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.48% for 50 ng mL(-1) hydrogen peroxide. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in honey. The concentration-time profile of H2O2 produced upon dilution of honey was studied and H2O2 contents of some different honeys from various areas of Iran were determined.     

CATALASE MIMIC WITH Fe (II) METALLOMICELLE

The effect of Fe (II) metallomicelle as a model of catalase, which was formed by adding surfactants (CTAB, SDS, LSS, Brij35) in Fe (II) -trien complex of molar ratios 1: 500 on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was investigated at 20°C and 30°C in pH 10 using KI-color and UV Spectrophotometry. A kinetic model for metallomicellar catalysis was proposed. The association constant of the ternary complex K and the rate constant of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide k3 were obtained. The results indicate that the metallomicelles making up of Fe (II) metal complex and cationic or nonionic surfactants have obvious catalysis on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, but the metallomicelles making up of Fe (II) metal complex and anionic or zwitterionic surfactants have inhibition on this reaction.     

Catalase-peroxidase activity of iron(III)-TAML activators of hydrogen peroxide

Exceptionally high peroxidase-like and catalase-like activities of iron(III)-TAML activators of H 2O 2 ( 1: Tetra-Amidato-Macrocyclic-Ligand Fe (III) complexes [ F e{1,2-X 2C 6H 2-4,5-( NCOCMe 2 NCO) 2CR 2}(OH 2)] (-)) are reported from pH 6-12.4 and 25-45 degrees C. Oxidation of the cyclometalated 2-phenylpyridine organometallic complex, [Ru (II)( o-C 6H 4py)(phen) 2]PF 6 ( 2) or "ruthenium dye", occurs via the equation [ Ru II ] + 1/2 H 2 O 2 + H +-->(Fe III - TAML) [ Ru III ] + H 2 O, following a simple rate law rate = k obs (per)[ 1][H 2O 2], that is, the rate is independent of the concentration of 2 at all pHs and temperatures studied. The kinetics of the catalase-like activity (H 2 O 2 -->(Fe III - TAML) H 2 O + 1/2 O 2) obeys a similar rate law: rate = k obs (cat)[ 1][H 2O 2]). The rate constants, k obs (per) and k obs (cat), are strongly and similarly pH dependent, with a maximum around pH 10. Both bell-shaped pH profiles are quantitatively accounted for in terms of a common mechanism based on the known speciation of 1 and H 2O 2 in this pH range. Complexes 1 exist as axial diaqua species [FeL(H 2O) 2] (-) ( 1 aqua) which are deprotonated to afford [FeL(OH)(H 2O)] (2-) ( 1 OH) at pH 9-10. The pathways 1 aqua + H 2O 2 ( k 1), 1 OH + H 2O 2 ( k 2), and 1 OH + HO 2 (-) ( k 4) afford one or more oxidized Fe-TAML species that further rapidly oxidize the dye (peroxidase-like activity) or a second H 2O 2 molecule (catalase-like activity). This mechanism is supported by the observations that (i) the catalase-like activity of 1 is controllably retarded by addition of reducing agents into solution and (ii) second order kinetics in H 2O 2 has been observed when the rate of O 2 evolution was monitored in the presence of added reducing agents. The performances of the 1 complexes in catalyzing H 2O 2 oxidations are shown to compare favorably with the peroxidases further establishing Fe (III)-TAML activators as miniaturized enzyme replicas with the potential to greatly expand the technological utility of hydrogen peroxide.     

Determination of hydrogen peroxide with N,N-diethylaniline and 4-aminoantipyrine by use of an anion-exchange resin modified with manganese-tetrakis(sulphophenyl)porphine, as a substitute for peroxidase

Amberlite IRA 900 anion-exchange resin modified with manganese-tetrakis(sulphophenyl)-porphine has been used as a catalyst instead of peroxidase for the determination of hydrogen peroxide by the reaction 2H(2)O(2) + N,N-diethylaniline + 4-aminoantipyrine (catalyst)--> quinonoid dye (lambda(max) 550 nm) + 4H(2)O. The apparent molar absorptivity for hydrogen peroxide was 1.1 x 10(4) 1.mole(-1).cm(-1), coefficient of variation 0.7%. This value is approximately 84% of that obtained by the use of peroxidase as catalyst. Similar conditions to those in the enzymatic reaction were suitable for use of the modified resin as catalyst, and the results show it to be a good substitute for peroxidase in this reaction system.

The study and application of biomimic peroxidase ferric 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (Fe(III)-HNT)

Ferric 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (Fe(III)-HNT) has been synthesized and used to mimic the active group of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The catalytic characteristics of this mimic-enzyme catalyst in the oxidation reaction of ascorbic acid with hydrogen peroxide has been studied. The experimental results showed that this peroxidase model compound has similar catalytic activity that of HRP. The catalytic activity of Fe(III)-HNT has been compared with those of HRP and common mimic-enzymes, metalloporphyrins (e.g. metal tetrakis(sulphophenyl)porphyrin (Me-TPPS(4))). Though the catalytic activity of Fe(III)-HNT is 75% of that of HRP, it can be used as a new kind of mimic-enzyme catalyst in determination of trace H(2)O(2). By coupling this mimetic catalytic reaction with the catalytic reaction of glucose oxidase, glucose can be determined indirectly. Under experimental conditions the linear relationship between DeltaA(265) and glucose concentration was in the range of 2.0-40.0 mug ml(-1), The correlation coefficient (r) was 0.9996. The R.S.D. (P=0.05, n=6) was 0.24%. The detection limit was determined to be 0.238 mug ml(-1). It was applied successfully to the determination of glucose in normal human and diabetic urine. The values of determination by the proposed method were compared with those of a routine method (enzymic glucose determination) applied in an hospital clinical laboratory. The agreement was very good.
