Fused-ring derivatives of quinoxalines: spectroscopic characterization and photoinduced processes investigated by EPR spin trapping technique.

ABSTRACT: 10-Ethyl-7-oxo-7,10-dihydropyrido[2,3-f]quinoxaline derivatives, synthesized as promising biologically/photobiologically active compounds were characterized by UV/vis, FT-IR and fluorescent spectroscopy. Photoinduced processes of these derivatives were studied by EPR spectroscopy, monitoring in situ the generation of reactive intermediates upon UVA (?max=365 nm) irradiation. The formation of reactive oxygen species and further oxygen- and carbon-centered radical intermediates was detected and possible reaction routes were suggested. To quantify the investigated processes, the quantum yields of the superoxide radical anion spin-adduct and 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl generation were determined, reflecting the activation of molecular oxygen by the excited state of the quinoxaline derivative.

Radical intermediates in photoinduced reactions on TiO2 (an EPR spin trapping study).

Project description:The radical intermediates formed upon UVA irradiation of titanium dioxide suspensions in aqueous and non-aqueous environments were investigated applying the EPR spin trapping technique. The results showed that the generation of reactive species and their consecutive reactions are influenced by the solvent properties (e.g., polarity, solubility of molecular oxygen, rate constant for the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with the solvent). The formation of hydroxyl radicals, evidenced as the corresponding spin-adducts, dominated in the irradiated TiO2 aqueous suspensions. The addition of 17O-enriched water caused changes in the EPR spectra reflecting the interaction of an unpaired electron with the 17O nucleus. The photoexcitation of TiO2 in non-aqueous solvents (dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, methanol and ethanol) in the presence of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide spin trap displayed a stabilization of the superoxide radical anions generated via electron transfer reaction to molecular oxygen, and various oxygen- and carbon-centered radicals from the solvents were generated. The character and origin of the carbon-centered spin-adducts was confirmed using nitroso spin trapping agents.

Coherent structural trapping through wave packet dispersion during photoinduced spin state switching.

Project description:The description of ultrafast nonadiabatic chemical dynamics during molecular photo-transformations remains challenging because electronic and nuclear configurations impact each other and cannot be treated independently. Here we gain experimental insights, beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, into the light-induced spin-state trapping dynamics of the prototypical [Fe(bpy)3]2+ compound by time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy at sub-30-femtosecond resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio. The electronic decay from the initial optically excited electronic state towards the high spin state is distinguished from the structural trapping dynamics, which launches a coherent oscillating wave packet (265?fs period), clearly identified as molecular breathing. Throughout the structural trapping, the dispersion of the wave packet along the reaction coordinate reveals details of intramolecular vibronic coupling before a slower vibrational energy dissipation to the solution environment. These findings illustrate how modern time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy can provide key information to unravel dynamic details of photo-functional molecules.

Structural factors controlling the spin-spin exchange coupling: EPR spectroscopic studies of highly asymmetric trityl-nitroxide biradicals.

Project description:Highly asymmetric exchange-coupled biradicals, e.g., the trityl-nitroxides (TNs), possess particular magnetic properties that have opened new possibilities for their application in biophysical, physicochemical, and biological studies. In the present work, we investigated the effect of the linker length on the spin-spin coupling interaction (J) in TN biradicals using the newly synthesized biradicals CT02-GT, CT02-AT, CT02-VT, and CT02-PPT as well as the previously reported biradicals TNN14 and TN1. The results show that the magnitude of J can be easily tuned from ~4 G (conformer 1 in CT02-PPT) to >1200 G (in TNN14) by varying the linker separating the two radical moieties and changing the temperature. Computer simulations of EPR spectra were carried out to estimate J values of the TN biradicals directly. In addition to the spin-spin coupling interaction of TN biradicals, their g, hyperfine-splitting, and zero-field-splitting interactions were explored at low temperature (220 K). Our present study clearly shows that varying the spin-spin interaction as a function of linker distance and temperature provides an effective strategy for the development of new TN biradicals that can find wide applications in relevant fields.

EPR spin trapping of an oxalate-derived free radical in the oxalate decarboxylase reaction.

Project description:EPR spin trapping experiments on bacterial oxalate decarboxylase from Bacillus subtilis under turn-over conditions are described. The use of doubly (13)C-labeled oxalate leads to a characteristic splitting of the observed radical adducts using the spin trap N-tert-butyl-?-phenylnitrone linking them directly to the substrate. The radical was identified as the carbon dioxide radical anion which is a key intermediate in the hypothetical reaction mechanism of both decarboxylase and oxidase activities. X-ray crystallography had identified a flexible loop, SENS161-4, which acts as a lid to the putative active site. Site directed mutagenesis of the hinge amino acids, S161 and T165 was explored and showed increased radical trapping yields compared to the wild type. In particular, T165V shows approximately ten times higher radical yields while at the same time its decarboxylase activity was reduced by about a factor of ten. This mutant lacks a critical H-bond between T165 and R92 resulting in compromised control over its radical chemistry allowing the radical intermediate to leak into the surrounding solution.

Characterization of radicals in polysorbate 80 using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and spin trapping.

Project description:Polysorbates are an important class of nonionic surfactants that are widely used to stabilize biopharmaceuticals. The degradation of polysorbate 20 and 80 and the related particle formation in biologics are heavily discussed in the pharmaceutical community. Although a lot of experimental effort was spent in the detailed study of potential degradation pathways, the underlying mechanisms are only sparsely understood. Besides enzymatic hydrolysis, another proposed mechanism is associated with radical-induced (auto)oxidation of polysorbates. To characterize the types and the origin of the involved radicals and their propagation in bulk material as well as in diluted polysorbate 80 solutions, we applied electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using a spin trapping approach. The prerequisite for a meaningful experiment using spin traps is an understanding of the trapping rate, which is an interplay of (i) the presence of the spin trap at the scene of action, (ii) the specific reactivity of the selected spin trap with a certain radical as well as (iii) the stability of the formed spin adducts (a slow decay rate). We discuss whether and to which extent these criteria are fulfilled regarding the identification of different radical classes that might be involved in polysorbate oxidative degradation processes. The ratio of different radicals for different scenarios was determined for various polysorbate 80 quality grades in bulk material and in aqueous solution, showing differences in the ratio of present radicals. Possible correlations between the radical content and product parameters such as the quality grade, the manufacturing date, the manufacturer, the initial peroxide content according to the certificate of analysis of polysorbate 80 are discussed.

Solvent Effects on Skin Penetration and Spatial Distribution of the Hydrophilic Nitroxide Spin Probe PCA Investigated by EPR.

Project description:Oxidative stress occurs in extrinsic skin aging processes and diseases when the enhanced production of free radicals exceeds the homeostatic antioxidant capacity of the skin. The spin probe, 3-(carboxy)-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidin-1-oxyl (PCA), is frequently used to study the cutaneous radical production by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. This approach requires delivering PCA into the skin, yet solvent effects on the skin penetration and spatial distribution of PCA have not been thoroughly investigated. Three solvents of ethanol, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and ethanol-PBS (1:1) were studied. For both human and porcine skin ex vivo, the amount of PCA in the stratum corneum (SC) was the lowest when using ethanol and very similar for PBS and ethanol-PBS. The highest amount of PCA in the viable skin layers was detected for ethanol-PBS, yet it only took up less than 5% of the total amount. The majority of PCA was localized in the SC, among which PCA with high mobility was predominantly distributed in the hydrophilic microenvironment of corneocytes and PCA with lower mobility was mainly in the less hydrophilic microenvironment of intercellular skin lipids. A higher ethanol concentration in the solvent could improve the distribution of PCA in the hydrophilic microenvironments of the SC. The results suggest that ethanol-PBS (1:1) is best-suited for delivering most PCA deep into the skin. This work enhances the understanding of solvent effects on the skin penetration and distribution of PCA and supports the utilization of PCA in studying cutaneous radical production.

Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and DFT study of two new linear fused-ring chalcones.

Project description:The structures of two new anthracenyl chalcones, namely (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-(4-nitro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C23H15NO3, and (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-(4-iodo-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C23H15IO are reported. A structural comparative study between the two chalcones was performed and some effects on the geometrical parameters, such as planarity and dihedral angles, are described. The mol-ecular geometry was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was applied to optimize the ground-state geometry. In addition, inter-molecular inter-actions responsible for the crystal packing were analysed. The electronic properties, such as excitation energies and HOMO-LUMO energies were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the results complement the experimental findings. The mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP) was also investigated at the same level of theory in order to identify and qu-antify the possible reactive sites.

Modular access to functionalized 5-8-5 fused ring systems <i>via</i> a photoinduced cycloisomerization reaction.

Project description:A 5-8-5 carbocyclic ring system forms the core of over 30 distinct natural products. Several members of this family have gained attention for their diverse activity in cell culture. In these cases, biological function is mediated by the arrangement of substituents around a conserved 5-8-5 nucleus. Despite the potential applications of this privileged substructure in medicinal chemistry, modular strategies for its assembly are underdeveloped. Herein, we describe a cycloisomerization reaction that forms the 5-8-5 framework directly. This strategy uniquely allows access to gram quantities of this valuable scaffold in four steps.

EPR Spectroscopic Studies of Lipoxygenases.

Project description:Polyunsaturated fatty acids are sources of diverse natural, and chemically designed products. The enzyme lipoxygenase selectively oxidizes fatty acid acyl chains using controlled free radical chemistry; the products are regio- and stereo-chemically unique hydroperoxides. A conserved structural fold of ?600 amino acids harbors a long and narrow substrate channel and a well-shielded catalytic iron. Oxygen, a co-substrate, is blocked from the active site until a hydrogen atom is abstracted from substrate bis-allylic carbon, in a non-heme iron redox cycle. EPR spectroscopy of ferric intermediates in lipoxygenase catalysis reveals changes in the metal coordination and leads to a proposal on the nature of the reactive intermediate. Remarkably, free radicals are so well controlled in lipoxygenase chemistry that spin label technology can be applied as well. The current level of understanding of steps in lipoxygenase catalysis, from the EPR perspective, will be reviewed.

Photoinduced 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine ring conversions.

Project description:Stable heterocyclic hydroperoxide can be easily prepared as a product of fast oxidation of a 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridine by (3)O2 if the solution is exposed to sunlight. The driving force for the photoinduced electron transfer is calculated from electrochemical and spectroscopic data. The outcome of the reaction depends on the light intensity and the concentration of O2. In the solid state the heterocyclic hydroperoxide is stable; in solution it is involved in further reactions.
