Two Equilibria

Nitroxide free radicals prepared from diethylamine, piperidine and pyrrolidine by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide were studied by ESR spectroscopy. The changes in the 14N splitting constant (aN) caused by the addition of KBr or tetraethylammonium bromide were measured in dependence on the concentration of the ions. For diethylamine nitroxide and piperidine nitroxide, the results are discussed in terms of two equilibria: the one, involving the anion, is associated with a gain or loss of hydrogen bonds to the nitroxide oxygen atom, the other is associated with the formation of solvent shared units involving the cation, which results in changes in the hydrogen bonding strenght. The large increase in the aN value in the case of pyrrolidine nitroxide is explained in terms of an interaction from one side of the positively charged N atom; the increase in aN in the case of diethylamine and piperidine nitroxides is explained in terms of interactions with both sides of the positively charged N atom.

Squalene (SQ) is a natural triterpene widely distributed in nature. It is a metabolic intermediate of the sterol biosynthetic pathway and represents a possible target in different metabolic and oxidative stress-related disorders. Growing interest has been focused on SQ’s antioxidant properties, derived from its chemical structure. Strong evidence provided by ex vivo models underline its scavenging activity towards free radicals, whereas only a few studies have highlighted its effect in cellular models of oxidative stress. Given the role of unbalanced free radicals in both the onset and progression of several cardiovascular diseases, an in depth evaluation of SQ’s contribution to antioxidant defense mechanisms could represent a strategic approach in dealing with these pathological conditions. At present experimental results overall show a double-edged sword role of squalene in cardiovascular diseases and its function has to be better elucidated in order to establish intervention lines focused on its features. This review aims to summarize current knowledge about endogenous and exogenous sources of SQ and to point out the controversial role of SQ in cardiovascular physiology.

Abstract Electron spin resonance (ESR) is a well established, sensitive spectroscopic technique for determining the molecular structure, as well as the lifetime or stability of organic free radicals. Consequently, ESR spectroscopy provides a logical method for gaining insight into the role that free radicals play in the stabilization of rubber by organic antioxidants. We used ESR spectroscopy to determine the molecular structure of the phenoxyl free radicals derived from a series of twelve phenolic antioxidants. We also used ESR to measure relative radical concentrations of the free radicals and evaluated the twelve phenolic antioxidants relative to each other. We have found that the ESR measurement of relative radical concentration is a measure of relative radical stability, and that the relative radical stability is temperature dependent. By plotting relative radical concentration (or stability) as a function of temperature, we can rank these twelve antioxidants relative to each other. This ranking is in good agreement with the activity of these antioxidants in EPDM. These data were discussed in relation to antioxidant mechanism.

The Impact

Summary In this study several pulp components were characterized by ESR spectroscopy. Free radicals present in the pulp lignin gave a well-defined signal, and the residual lignin content during a bleaching sequence could be followed using this technique. Organic radicals on the pulp carbohydrates were also detected and could be related to the formation of chromophore structures in pulp. Further, ESR spectroscopy made it possible to characterize several transition metal ions in pulp. Special attention was paid to metal retention and the impact of a sodium borohydride treatment, and the formation and evolution of complexes between metal ions and pulp components was scrutinized.
