A direct electron spin resonance and spin-trapping investigation of peroxyl free radical formation by hematin/hydroperoxide systems.

چکیده
Direct electron spin resonance was used to detect tert-alkylperoxyl radicals generated by hematin and the corresponding hydroperoxides at near-physiological pH values. The spin-trapping method was necessary to detect the less persistent primary ethylperoxyl radical. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, the electron spin resonance signal of the tert-alkylperoxyl radicals decreased, and the ethylperoxyl spin-adduct concentration did not change. Concomitant studies, using a Clark oxygen electrode, show that oxygen was consumed by the hematin-tert-alkyl hydroperoxide systems, but was released by the hematin-ethyl hydroperoxide reaction. Thus, molecular oxygen seems to play a subsidiary role in the hematin-catalyzed decomposition of hydroperoxides. Based on the electron spin resonance and oxygen electrode results, a mechanism for the continuous production of the peroxyl free radicals is proposed for hematin/hydroperoxide systems. The present spectroscopic methodology can be used to search for peroxyl free radical formation by hemoprotein/hydroperoxide systems.

Intermediate Tyrosyl Radical and Amyloid Structure in Peroxide-Activated Cytoglobin
We characterized the peroxidase mechanism of recombinant rat brain cytoglobin (Cygb) challenged by hydrogen peroxide, tert-butylhydroperoxide and by cumene hydroperoxide. The peroxidase mechanism of Cygb is similar to that of myoglobin. Cygb challenged by hydrogen peroxide is converted to a Fe4+ oxoferryl π cation, which is converted to Fe4+ oxoferryl and tyrosyl radical detected by direct cont...
متن کاملGeneration of free radicals from organic hydroperoxide tumor promoters in isolated mouse keratinocytes. Formation of alkyl and alkoxyl radicals from tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide.
The organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide are tumor promoters in the skin of SENCAR mice, and this activity is presumed to be mediated through the activation of the hydroperoxides to free radical species. In this study we have assessed the generation of free radicals from organic hydroperoxides in the target cell (the murine basal keratinocyte) using electron ...
متن کاملFormation of peroxide- and globin-derived radicals from the reaction of methaemoglobin and metmyoglobin with t-butyl hydroperoxide: an ESR spin-trapping investigation.
The reaction of human methaemoglobin and horse metmyoglobin with t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) was investigated with the ESR spin-trapping technique. With the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) the formation of peroxyl, alkoxyl and methyl radicals derived from t-BuOOH could be detected. The relative contributions of these radicals were determined at various DMPO concentrations ...

We studied the mechanism of formation of oxygen radicals during ferrous ion-induced decomposition of linoleic acid hydroperoxide using the spin trapping and chemiluminescence methods. The formation of the superoxide anion (O2*-) was verified in the present study. The hydroxyl radical is also generated through Fenton type decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produced on disproportionation of O2*-....
