Controlled ROS production by corannulene: the vehicle makes a difference.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Curved corannulene (Cor) can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a controlled manner due to the large dipole moment. However, the poor aqueous solubility of Cor necessitates the employment of solubilization vehicles. This work revealed that PEGylation was less efficient than the cyclodextrin complexation regarding ROS production.

Development of a Method for measuring Reactive Oxygen Radicals Levels In Vitro and Study the Effects of Vitamin C and E on Radical Production Reaction
Background: Free radicals and reactive oxygen species(ROS) are the most important factors in formation of oxidative stress reaction. Now, radical damage has been suggested to contribute to a wide variety of diseases such as Alzheimer, atherosclerosis and cancer. Transition metal ions in the presence of the various biomolecules produce these active compounds. The aim of this study is introducing...

Substitution of two or four carbon atoms by nitrogen in the corannulene molecule as a carbon nanostructure was done and the obtained structures were optimized at MP2/6-31G(d) level of theory. Calculations of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) were performed to analyze the aromaticity of the corannulene rings and its derivatives upon doping with N at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. Re...

متن کاملQuadruple Anionic Buckybowls by Solid-State Chemistry of Corannulene and Cesium
The buckybowl corannulene is known to be an excellent electron acceptor. UV photoelectron spectroscopy studies were performed with thin-film systems containing corannulene and cesium. Adsorption of submonolayer quantities of corannulene in ultrahigh vacuum onto thick Cs films, deposited at 100 K on a copper(111) substrate, induces a transfer of four electrons per molecule into the two lowest un...
متن کاملComparative stepwise pattern of reactive oxygen species production during in vitro development of fertilized and nuclear transferred goat embryos
Objective A unique feature of embryo metabolism is production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It is well established that during in vitro culture, ROS levels increase over normal ranges observed for embryos developed in vivo. This study evaluates and compares the stepwise pattern of ROS production during in vitro development of reconstructed goat embryos produced by zona-free method of somati...
