Comparative mechanisms and rates of free radical scavenging by carotenoid antioxidants

TL;DR: Although there were some discernible trends in carotenoid reactivity for individual radicals, rate constants varied by no greater than a factor of 2.5, the mechanism and rate of scavenging is strongly dependent on the nature of the oxidising radical species but much less dependent onThe carotanoid structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scavenging of nitrogen dioxide, thiyl, and sulfonyl free radicals by the nutritional antioxidant beta-carotene.

TL;DR: Mechanisms of free radical scavenging by the nutritional antioxidant β-carotene have been investigated by pulse radiolysis and rate constants for thiyl radical-addition reactions vary from 106 to 109M s and correlate with the lipophilicity of the thiyle radical under study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide in biological fluids: analysis of nitrite and nitrate by high-performance ion chromatography

TL;DR: This article describes a versatile method for the simultaneous measurement of NO2- and NO3- anions in both plasma and isolated tumour models based on anion-exchange chromatography with spectrophotometric detection (214 nm).
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidation of tetrahydrobiopterin by biological radicals and scavenging of the trihydrobiopterin radical by ascorbate.

TL;DR: At physiological pH the pterin rapidly scavenges a range of biological oxidants often associated with cellular oxidative stress and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) dysfunction including hydroxyl ((*)OH), nitrogen dioxide (NO), glutathione thiyl (GS(*)), and carbonate (CO(3)(*-)) radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free-radical repair by a novel perthiol: reversible hydrogen transfer and perthiyl radical formation

TL;DR: The thermodynamic driving force for the observed enhanced free-radical repair reactivity of RSSH compared to RSH is attributed to the resonance stabilization energy of 8.8 kJ mol-1 within the RSS.
