Semiquinone anion radicals of catechol(amine)s, catechol estrogens, and their metal ion complexes.

چکیده
The characterization and identification of semiquinone radicals from catechol(amine)s and catechol estrogens by electron spin resonance spectroscopy is addressed. The use of diamagnetic metal ions, especially Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions, to detect transient semiquinone radicals in biological systems and to monitor their reactions, is discussed. A brief account of the identification and reactions of quinones is also presented.

Characterization of semiquinone free radicals formed from stilbene catechol estrogens. An ESR spin stabilization and spin trapping study.
Electron spin resonance spectroscopy has been used to detect, characterize, and to infer structures of o-semiquinones derived from stilbene catechol estrogens. Radicals were generated enzymatically using tyrosinase and were detected as their Mg2+ complexes. It is suggested that initial hydroxylation of stilbene estrogen gives a catechol estrogen in situ; subsequent two-electron oxidation of the...

متن کاملThe oxidation of catechols by reduced flavins and dehydrogenases. An electron spin resonance study of the kinetics and initial products of oxidation.
1,2-Dihydroxybenzene-3,Sdisulfonic acid (Tiron) has been investigated with regard to oxidation to the o-semiquinone form by both photochemical and enzymatic systems. The formation of the o-semiquinone radical can be recorded at pH 6.8 in the electron spin resonance spectrometer at room temperature. The kinetics of formation and decay of the radical has been determined, since it is relatively st...
