Singlet oxygen as a mediator in the hematoporphyrin-catalyzed photooxidation of NADPH to NADP+ in deuterium oxide.

چکیده
The oxygen-dependent photooxidation of NADPH in the presence of hematoporphyrin in D2O results in the production of enzymatically active NADP+. The reaction is not inhibited by benzoate, mannitol, superoxide dismutase, or catalase. Moreover, addition of either potassium superoxide or H2O2 does not potentiate the reaction. This suggests OH-, H2O2, and O-2 are not likely to be the reactive oxygen species in this system. The oxidation is inhibited by various singlet oxygen quenchers and inhibitors such as 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, 2,5-dimethylfuran plus methanol, histidine, and methionine. In addition, the rate of oxidation in H2O is less than one-fifth of that in D2O. The results suggest a singlet oxygen-mediated process. During the oxidation, no superoxide radical production could be detected with either ferricytochrome c or nitroblue tetrazolium. However, H2O2 has been found as one of the products. These observations are consistent with an oxidation-reduction reaction between singlet oxygen and NADPH to form H2O2 and NADP+, catalyzed by the light-activated photosensitizer hematoporphyrin.

ROLE OF Mn(TPP)Cl IN THE EPOXIDATION WITH SINGLET OXYGEN
Mn(TPP)Cl catalyzes cooxidation of olefin in the singlet oxygenation of sulfid. Mn(TPP)Cl is able to transfer an oxygen atom from a peroxidic intermediate generated in singlet oxygenation of sulfide to a metal ion affording metal 0x0 species which is responsible for epoxidation. This system leads to allcenes epoxidation such as styrene and cyclooctene. Epoxidation of cyclohexene produces cy...
متن کاملThe apparent production of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by hematoporphyrin and light as seen by spin-trapping.
Hematoporphyrin is known to have photodynamic properties. The exposure of biomolecules or cells to hematoporphyrin and visible light can result in damage [l] and can even be lethal [2]. This inactivating effect appears to be greater in cancer cells than in corresponding normal cells [3]. This is thought to be due in part to the greater acc~ulation of hematoporphyrin in malignant tissue than in ...

A variety of primary and secondary benzylic amines were oxidized efficiently to N-benzylidenebenzylamines and imines, respectively, using 2,7,12,17-tetrapropylporphycene (H(2)TPrPc) photocatalyst and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The photooxidation of 4-methoxybenzylamine in the presence of H(2)TPrPc and its tin(IV) complex Sn(TPrPc)Cl(2) was studied in detail in order to show that operati...

The early host resistance against Trypanosoma cruzi infection depends on a complex interplay among cytokines, chemical mediators and cells. The major innate immune mechanism against intracellular parasites in phagocytes relies on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). The initial step for ROS production is the generation of superoxide anion catalyze...
