Radical scavenger can scavenge lipid allyl radicals complexed with lipoxygenase at lower oxygen content.
Lipoxygenases have been proposed to be a possible factor that is responsible for the pathology of certain diseases, including ischaemic injury. In the peroxidation process of linoleic acid by lipoxygenase, the E,Z-linoleate allyl radical-lipoxygenase complex seems to be generated as an intermediate. In the present study, we evaluated whether E,Z-linoleate allyl radicals on the enzyme are scaven...
متن کاملDual role of oxygen during lipoxygenase reactions.
Studying the oxygenation kinetics of (19R/S,5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-19-hydroxyeicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid (19-OH-AA) by rabbit 15-lipoxygenase-1 we observed a pronounced oxygen dependence of the reaction rate, which was not apparent with arachidonic acid as substrate. Moreover, we found that peroxide-dependent activation of the lipoxygenase depended strongly on the oxygen concentration. These data ...
متن کاملPeroxyl free radicals: potential mediators of tumor initiation and promotion.
In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the involvement of free radicals in carcinogenesis (1 -4) . This seems a natural outgrowth of the long overdue realization that free radicals are formed in biological systems and that they contribute significantly to physiological and pathological processes. Much of the emphasis of research linking free radicals and cancer has focused ...
متن کاملPeroxyl radicals are potential agents of lignin biodegradation.
Past work has shown that the extracellular manganese-dependent peroxidases (MnPs) of ligninolytic fungi degrade the principal non-phenolic structures of lignin when they peroxidize unsaturated fatty acids. This reaction is likely to be relevant to ligninolysis in sound wood, where enzymes cannot penetrate, only if it employs a small, diffusible lipid radical as the proximal oxidant of lignin. H...
متن کاملRadicals masquerading as electrophiles: a computational study of the intramolecular addition reactions of acyl radicals to imines.
Ab initio calculations using 6-311G**, cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVDZ, with (MP2, QCISD, CCSD(T)) and without (UHF) electron correlation, and density functional methods (BHandHLYP and B3LYP) predict that cyclization of the 5-aza-5-hexenoyl and (E)-6-aza-5-hexenoyl radicals proceed to afford the 5-exo products. At the CCSD(T)/cc-pVDZ//BHandHLYP/cc-pVDZ level of theory, energy barriers (deltaE(double d...
