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 cycloh...

the major objective of the present study was to characterize the effects of oxidants generated b xanthine (x) plus xanthine oxidase (xo) on isolated rat ileum motility. the effects of three concentrations of x/xo on the basal tone of the rat ileum preparation were studied for 20 minutes. developed tensions were measured in mg/mg tissues and then expressed as percentage of baseline tension. also...

Singlet oxygen (O2) is a higher energy state molecular oxygen species. It is one of the most active intermediates involved in chemical and biochemical reactions. To fully appreciate the reactivity of O2, it is necessary to understand its physical and chemical nature. This paper reviews the generation, quenching and detection of O2. Its properties, possible chemical reactions are presented as we...

We recently reported that kinobeon A, produced from safflower cells, suppressed the free radical-induced damage of cell and microsomal membranes. In the present study, we investigated whether kinobeon A quenches singlet oxygen, another important active oxygen species. Kinobeon A inhibited the singlet oxygen-induced oxidation of squalene. The second-order rate constant between singlet oxygen and...

Singlet Oxygen, Pyrene, Diphenylisobenzofuran, Micelles The reaction of singlet oxygen with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran was investigated in aqueous micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and dodecyl trimethylammonium chloride using pyrene as photosensitizer. Singlet oxygen, produced by the photosensitization of pyrene bound to micelles, oxidized efficiently 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran bound t...

Ratiometric photonic explorers for bioanalysis with biologically localized embedding (PEBBLE) nanoprobes have been developed for singlet oxygen, using organically modified silicate (ORMOSIL) nanoparticles as the matrix. A crucial aspect of these ratiometric singlet-oxygen fluorescent probes is their minute size. The ORMOSIL nanoparticles are prepared via a sol-gel-based process and the average ...

Insulin resistance contributes to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular dysfunctions. Recent studies showed that elevated singlet oxygen-mediated lipid peroxidation precedes and predicts diet-induced insulin resistance (IR), and neutrophils were suggested to be responsible for such singlet oxygen production. This review highlights literature suggesting that insulin-responsive cells suc...
