<p>This study centers around diagnostic medicine, and severity staging of inflammatory diseases. Previously, we showed that complexation of PEG and Poly(gallol) on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles turn OFF the MRI contrasting ability of the nanoparticle. However, in the presence of reactive oxygen species, the contrast agent will turn ON. In this article, for the first time, we provide evidence that our MRI contrast agent is sensitive to physiologically relevant ROS and induces antioxidant activity on immune and endothelial cells. This study provides initial evidence of IPC-SPIOs cellular ROS sensitivity and potential activatable properties in biological conditions.</p>

The role of linalool in gastric cancer has been examined by measuring its effects on cell cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species as well as markers of oxidative stress. In a dose-dependent fashion, linalool suppressed the viability of gastric cancer cells and increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species with a concomitant increase in malondialdehyde, cleavage of caspase 3 and p53 and decrease in superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. N-acetyl cysteine, a scavenger of reactive oxygen species reduced the effects of linalool on gastric cancer cells. In conclusion, linalool suppresses cell viability and promotes cell apoptosis of gastric cancer cells via activation of reactive oxygen species-mediated p53 pathway suggesting that linalool might serve as a potential anti-cancer agent.
