一些氮氧自由基和受阻胺化合物对单重态氧的猝灭能力及其与光稳定作用的关系

本工作测定了一系列稳定氟氧自由基( )化合物及一些受阻胺光稳定剂对单重态氧(¹O₂)的猝灭速率常数(k_q^1O₂),发现不同结构的 对¹O₂的猝灭能力很接近,但它们对聚丙烯(PP)膜的光稳定作用却相差很大。四甲基哌啶醇(TMP)及其衍生物对¹O₂的猝灭能力远不如相应的五甲基哌啶醇(PMP)及其衍生物,但前者对PP的光稳定能力却胜于后者。这说明在对聚合物的光稳定作用中, 和受阻胺光稳定剂对¹O₂的粹灭作用不占重要地位,也说明¹O₂在PP的光氧化过程中很可能不是主要因素。

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。     

过渡金属络合物猝灭单重态氧能力的研究

研究了多种不同过渡金属络合物对单重态氧的猝灭问题。结果表明过渡金属络合物猝灭单重态氧的能力主要和络合物分子的几何构型有关。能形成平面四方形结构的络合物由于中心金属原子易于和¹O₂分子相接近因而具有强的猝灭¹O₂的能力,反之形成四面体形结构的络合物则猝灭能力减弱。

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.     

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.     

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.     

ON THE REACTION OF SINGLET MOLECULAR OXYGEN WITH N-ALLYLTHIOUREA IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

Abstract— Experiments on the photooxidation of N -allylthiourea, thiourea, and N-allylurea sensitized by the dye phenosafranine show that in N -allylthiourea the thiourea group is the site of singlet oxygen attack, while the allyl moiety neither reacts with nor quenches this metastable form of O₂ (in neutral aqueous solutions). Low concentrations of N^-₃ (a known quencher of singlet oxygen) strongly reduce the photooxidation of allylthiourea by a mechanism which apparently obeys simple competition kinetics. From these results the rate constant of the reaction between allylthiourea and singlet oxygen is obtained ( k = 4 × 10⁶ M ^-1 s^-1; pH = 7.1).     

Investigation of photobleaching of hypocrellin B in non-polar organic solvent and in liposome suspension

Hypocrellin B (HB) is a natural pigment with a promising application in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) for anticancer treatment. The photobleaching of HB in non-polar organic solvents and in liposomes in aqueous solution were investigated by the measurements of absorption spectra, quenching experiments and determination of photoproducts. Control experiments indicated that the sensitizer, oxygen and light were all essential for the photobleaching of HB, which suggested that it was mainly self-sensitized photooxidation. The illumination of HB with visible light in aerobic non-polar solvent generated singlet oxygen efficiently [Phi(1O(2))=0.76] which then attacked the sensitizer HB with formation of an endoperoxide product. The endoperoxide of HB was unstable at room temperature and underwent predominantly loss of singlet oxygen with regeneration of parent HB. The singlet oxygen released from the endoperoxide of HB was detected with chemical trapping experiments. When HB was embedded in EPC liposomes, no endoperoxide product and no singlet oxygen release from the photobleaching process of HB were detected. The quenching experiments indicated that the singlet oxygen mechanism (type II) played an important role in the non-polar solvent and the free radical mechanism (type I) was predominant in liposomal aqueous solution for the photobleaching of HB.     

SINGLET OXYGEN YIELDS AND RADICAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE DYE-SENSITISED PHOTO-OXIDATION IN METHANOL OF ESTERS OF POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS (OLEIC, LINOLEIC, LINOLENIC AND ARACHIDONIC)

Abstract— The triplet state characteristics (spectrum, lifetime and quantum yield) for four dye sensi tisers [methylene blue (MB), erythrosin (ER), haematoporphyrin (HP) and riboflavin (RF)] were determined in methanol by laser flash photolysis and singlet oxygen yields (0.60 to 0.48) from time-resolved measurements of the 1270 nm near infrared emission. The reaction of singlet oxygen with four long chain unsaturated phenyl esters [oleate (18: 1), linoleate (18: 2), linolenate (18: 3) and arachidonate (20: 4)] was followed quantitatively using the singlet oxygen luminescence technique and also, after continuous420–700 nm irradiation, by HPLC and other analysis of the isomeric product monohydroperoxides. The overall quantum yield of photooxidation (∼10^-2) was shown to be consistent with the observed singlet oxygen quenching constants(2–12 times 10⁴ dm³ mol^-1 s^-1) for the four esters studied and the singlet oxygen lifetime in methanol (τ∼ 9 μs). The isomer product distribution was interpreted in terms of a dual singlet oxygen and radical mechanism, the radical contribution increasing with sensitiser in the order ER = MB < HP ≪ RF, but also showing some dependence on substrate unsaturation. Evidence is presented for singlet oxygen quenching by MB and RF ( k_O = 1.6 and 6.0 times 10⁷ dm³ mol^-1 s^-1) and for the accelerated photobleaching of the dye sensitisers in the presence of the unsaturated esters.     

PROBING PHOTODYNAMIC DAMAGE IN NUCLEIC ACIDS WITH A DAMAGE-SPECIFIC DNA BINDING PROTEIN: A COMPARISON OF THE B and Z DNA CONFORMATIONS

—We have employed a damage-specific DNA binding protein from human cells as a probe for base damage in polymers irradiated with white light in the presence of methylene blue. Protein-recognizable damage is introduced only into guanine-containing polymers and quenching of damage introduction by H₂O and sodium azide suggest the involvement of a singlet oxygen mechanism. Using poly d(G-m⁵C), we have demonstrated that the left-handed double helical Z conformation is much less susceptible to guanine photooxidation than is the usual B conformation. We speculate that this difference in reactivity may reflect steric hindrance at the purine C-4 position and could provide some insight into the initial steps of the reaction between singlet oxygen and guanine in nucleic acid polymers.
