Dinuclear Zn Complex: Phenoxyl Radical Formation Driven by Superoxide Coordination
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dinuclear zinc complex Zn2L2 (HL=2-{[[di(2-pyridyl)methyl](methyl)amino]methyl}phenol) has been synthesized and isolated as colorless crystals. interaction of the compound with superoxide in anhydrous organic solvents evaluated by CV, stopped-flow Uv-vis, EPR ESI-MS suggesting binding activation coordinated superoxide, thanks to Lewis acidity Zn(II) centers. results obtained this study highlight formation a Zn2L2−O2.− intermediate metastable phenoxyl-radical driven superoxide.

Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase-driven free radical modifications: copper- and carbonate radical anion-initiated protein radical chemistry.
The understanding of the mechanism, oxidant(s) involved and how and what protein radicals are produced during the reaction of wild-type SOD1 (Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase) with H2O2 and their fate is incomplete, but a better understanding of the role of this reaction is needed. We have used immuno-spin trapping and MS analysis to study the protein oxidations driven by human (h) and bovine (b) SOD...
متن کاملSuperoxide radical formation by pure complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) from Yarrowia lipolytica.
Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is increasingly recognized as an important cellular process involved in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is considered as one of the major sources of ROS within mitochondria. Yet, the exact site and mechanism of superoxide production by this large membrane-bound multiprotein complex ha...

trichomoniasis, the most widespread sexually transmitted disease is caused by trichomonas vaginalis. this parasite is site specific for the genitourinary tract and recruitment of macrophages as well as polymorphonuclear nutrophils (pmn) to the site of infection is the first line of defense as a component of non-specific resistance and immunity. in this study, balb/c mice were infected with 10 i...
متن کاملHighly selective colorimetric sensing pyrophosphate in water by a NBD-phenoxo-bridged dinuclear Zn(II) complex.
A novel NBD-phenoxo-bridged dinuclear Zn(II) complex is found to be an effective colorimetric sensor for pyrophosphate (PPi) in pure aqueous solution over a wide pH range. This sensor shows high binding affinity (K(a)≈ 3 × 10(8) M(-1)) and high selectivity for PPi, and can be also used to assay the activity of pyrophosphatase in real time.
متن کاملDFT study of the asymmetric nitroaldol (Henry) reaction catalyzed by a dinuclear Zn complex
We report the mechanism of asymmetric nitroaldol (Henry) reaction catalyzed by a dinuclear Zn complex using density functional theory. The experimentally proposed catalytic cycle is validated, in which the first step is the deprotonation of nitromethane by the ethyl anion of the catalyst, subsequently a C-C bond formation step, and then the protonation of the resulting alkoxide. Three mechanist...
