Mechanism of one-electron oxidation of metformin in aqueous solution.

چکیده
Hydroxyl free radical-induced oxidation of metformin was studied in aqueous solution as a function of the pH. Hydroxyl free radicals were generated by gamma radiolysis of water and the oxidation end-products were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS), as a function of the radiation dose. This work is a joint experimental and theoretical (DFT) approach that has paved the way towards a comprehensive rationalization of the one-electron mechanisms of MTF oxidation, as a function of the pH.

The Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of the N-Substituted Urea-Titanium (III) Complexes by Iodine (AS I-3) in Ethanol and Acetonitrile
The oxidation of complexes of Ti(III), (TiL6)3+ (L=ur, Meur, DMeur, DEture, N-Bu-ur, and Phur), by iodine as I3- in ethanol and acetonitrile solutions, appears to proceed as a second order reaction and is much faster in ethanol solution (where solvolysis occurs) than in acetonitrile. The enthalpy of activation appears to decrease as ligand's size ...
متن کاملElectrosynthesis of Clozapine Drug Derivative via an EC Electrochemical Mechanism
The fact that oxidation, as one of the main routes of phase I metabolism of drugs, follows by conjugation reactions, and also formation of nitrenium ion as one of the clozapine oxidation products, directed us to investigate the oxidation of clozapine (CLZ) in the presence of nucleophile. The oxidation of clozapine (CLZ) has been studied on a glassy carbon electrode in the absence and presence o...
متن کاملVoltammetric Behavior and Determination of Trace Amounts of Omeprazole Using an Edge-plane Pyrolytic Graphite Electrode
The voltammetric performance of edge-plane pyrolytic graphite (EPG) electrode via adsorptive stripping voltammetry was investigated for study of the electrochemical behavior of omeprazole (OMZ) in aqueous solution. The results revealed that the oxidation of OMZ is an irreversible pH-dependent process that proceeds with the transfer of one electron and one proton in an adsorption-controlled mech...

متن کاملMetformin activates AMP kinase through inhibition of AMP deaminase.
The mechanism for how metformin activates AMPK (AMP-activated kinase) was investigated in isolated skeletal muscle L6 cells. A widely held notion is that inhibition of the mitochondrial respiratory chain is central to the mechanism. We also considered other proposals for metformin action. As metabolic pathway markers, we focused on glucose transport and fatty acid oxidation. We also confirmed m...
