چکیده

Time-resolved laser flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis have been used to study the chemical activity of podophyllotoxin(PPT) and etoposide(VP-16). The mechanism of photoionization of etoposide and podophyllotoxin has been confirmed and illustrated. It is demonstrated that VP-16 and PPT in aqueous solution can be photoionized at 248 nm to give hydrated electron and neutral radical resulting from rapid deprotonation of radical cation of VP-16 and PPT. The quantum yield for the photoionization of VP-16 and PPT with single-photo is 0.21 and 0.61, respectively. In addition, they can react with hydrated electron, hydrogen radical and hydroxyl radical. This will give chemists some advice on synthesizing new derivatives of podophyllotoxin in cancer treatment.

Critical Evaluation of Rate Constants and Equilibrium Constants of Hydrogen Peroxide Photolysis in Acidic Aqueous Solutions Containing Chloride Ions

Equilibrium constants and rate constants involving Cl"~aq!, Cl, Cl2 "(aq), HO", H2O, and H2O2(aq) determined at 29762 K in the aqueous phase are updated and evaluated. Most of the rate constants and equilibrium constants are obtained by either pulse radiolysis or laser flash photolysis. The recommended values of rate constants and equilibrium constants are achieved by un-weighted averaging of t...

Radical cations of phenyl-substituted aziridines: what are the conditions for ring opening?

Radical cations were generated from different phenyl-substituted aziridines by pulse radiolysis in aqueous solution containing TlOH.+, N3. or SO4.- as oxidants or in n-butyl chloride, by 60Co gamma radiolysis in Freon matrices at 77 K, and in some cases by flash photolysis in aqueous solution. Depending on the substitution pattern of the aziridines, two different types of radical cations are fo...
