We have determined and quantified spectrophotometrically the capacity of producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) as 1O2 during the photolysis with UV-A light of 5 new synthesized naphthyl ester derivates of well-known quinolone antibacterials (nalidixic acid (1), cinoxacin (2), norfloxacin (3), ciprofloxacin (4) and enoxacin (5)). The ability of the naphthyl ester derivatives (6-10) to generate singlet oxygen were detecting and for the first time quantified by the histidine assay, a sensitive, fast and inexpensive method. The following tendency of generation of singlet oxygen was observed: compounds 7 >10 > 6 > 8 > 9 >> parent drugs 1-5.

To analyze the antioxidant effects of cacalol we determined its reactivity with different reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cacalol gave rise to cacalone by a specific site reaction with a hydroxyl radical. Singlet oxygen reacted only with the double bond of the furan ring, causing its rupture. On the other hand, ozone reacted with all double bonds in cacalol affording 2-methyl-hexanedioic acid as an end product. No reaction was observed with either superoxide or hydrogen peroxide. The potential antioxidant effect of cacalol as a scavenger of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen could be related to its function in the plant roots.
