A simple, highly sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of arrays of carbon-centered radicals in aqueous systems is described. Radicals are efficiently trapped by an amino-nitroxide to form stable products which are then reacted with fluorescamine to produce highly fluorescent adducts. The adducts are easily separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The detection limit for individual radical adducts (0.5 to 2nM) is two to three orders of magnitude lower than those of current methods employing electron paramagnetic resonance detection. Results on the photolysis of ketones and z-keto acids demonstrate the potential of this technique. This approach should be widely applicable to the study of radical processes in biological and chemical systems. 相似文献

The study of the important role of peroxyl radicals in biological systems is limited by their difficult detection with direct electron spin resonance (ESR). Many ESR spectra were assigned to 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)/peroxyl radical adducts based only on the close similarity of their ESR spectra to that of DMPO/superoxide radical adduct in conjunction with their insensitivity to superoxide dismutase, which distinguishes the radical adduct from DMPO/superoxide radical adduct. Later, the spin-trapping literature reported that DMPO/peroxyl radical adducts have virtually the same hyperfine coupling constants as synthesized alkoxyl radical adducts, raising the issue of the correct assignment of peroxyl radical adducts. However, using 17O-isotope labelling, the methylperoxyl and methoxyl radical adducts should be distinguishable. We have reinvestigated the spin trapping of the methylperoxyl radical. The methylperoxyl radical was generated in aerobic solution with 17O-molecular oxygen either in a Fenton system with dimethylsulfoxide or in a chloroperoxidase system with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Two different spin traps, DMPO and 2,2,4-trimethyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide (TMIO), were used to trap methylperoxyl radical. 17O-labelled methanol was used to synthesize methoxyl radical adducts by nucleophylic addition. It was shown that the 17O hyperfine coupling constants of radical adducts formed in methylperoxyl radical-generating systems are identical to that of the methoxyl radical adduct. Therefore, methylperoxyl radical-producing systems form detectable methoxyl radical adduct, but not detectable methylperoxyl radical adducts at room temperature. One of the possible mechanisms is the decomposition of peroxyl radical adduct with the formation of secondary alkoxyl radical adduct. These results allow us to reinterpret previously published data reporting detection of peroxyl radical adducts. We suggest that detection of 17O-alkoxyl radical adduct from 17O-labelled molecular oxygen can be used as indirect evidence for peroxyl radical generation. 相似文献

The detection of protein free radicals using the specific free radical reactivity of nitrone spin traps in conjunction with nitrone-antibody sensitivity and specificity greatly expands the utility of the spin trapping technique, which is no longer dependent on the quantum mechanical electron spin resonance (ESR). The specificity of the reactions of nitrone spin traps with free radicals has already made spin trapping with ESR detection the most universal, specific tool for the detection of free radicals in biological systems. Now the development of an immunoassay for the nitrone adducts of protein radicals brings the power of immunological techniques to bear on free radical biology. Polyclonal antibodies have now been developed that bind to protein adducts of the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). In initial studies, anti-DMPO was used to detect DMPO protein adducts produced on myoglobin and hemoglobin resulting from self-peroxidation by H2O2. These investigations demonstrated that myoglobin forms the predominant detectable protein radical in rat heart supernatant, and hemoglobin radicals form inside red blood cells. In time, all of the immunological techniques based on antibody-nitrone binding should become available for free radical detection in a wide variety of biological systems. 相似文献

Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) peroxyl radicals play a crucial role in lipid oxidation. ESR spectroscopy with the spin-trapping technique is one of the most direct methods for radical detection. There are many reports of the detection of PUFA peroxyl radical adducts; however, it has recently been reported that attempted spin trapping of organic peroxyl radicals at room temperature formed only alkoxyl radical adducts in detectable amounts. Therefore, we have reinvestigated spin trapping of the linoleic, arachidonic, and linolenic acid-derived PUFA peroxyl radicals. The slow-flow technique allowed us to obtain well-resolved ESR spectra of PUFA-derived radical adducts in a mixture of soybean lipoxygenase, PUFA, and the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). However, interpretation of the ESR spectra was complicated by the overlapping of the PUFA-derived alkoxyl radical adduct spectra. In order to understand these spectra, PUFA-derived alkoxyl radical adducts were modeled by various alkoxyl radical adducts. For the first time, we synthesized a wide range of DMPO adducts with primary and secondary alkoxyl radicals. It was found that many ESR spectra previously assigned as DMPO/peroxyl radical adducts based on their close similarity to the ESR spectrum of the DMPO/superoxide radical adduct, in conjunction with their insensitivity to superoxide dismutase, are indeed alkoxyl radical adducts. We have reassigned the PUFA alkylperoxyl radical adducts to their corresponding alkoxyl radical adducts. Using hyperfine coupling constants of model DMPO/alkoxyl radical adducts, the computer simulation of DMPO/PUFA alkoxyl radical adducts was performed. It was found that the trapped, oxygen-centered PUFA-derived radical is a secondary, chiral alkoxyl radical. The presence of a chiral carbon atom leads to the formation of two diastereomers of the DMPO/PUFA alkoxyl radical adduct. Therefore, attempted spin trapping of the PUFA peroxyl radical by DMPO at room temperature leads to the formation of the PUFA alkoxyl radical adduct. 相似文献

The cellular-induced decay of DMPO spin adducts of .OH and .O2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In a recent report, it was concluded that DMPO, often considered the spin trap of choice for detection of superoxide and hydroxyl radical adducts in biological systems, may be unsuitable for many biological uses because of its instability in cellular systems. It was demonstrated in red blood cells and in hamster V79 cells that the DMPO spin adducts of .O2- and .OH are metabolized very rapidly so that even if formed, they may not be detected in many experiments with cells. Because of the potential importance of these findings to experiments already reported on the occurrence of oxygen radicals in cellular systems, and the implications of these findings for future experiments, we have extended the studies on DMPO to other cellular, systems. We have also investigated the role of oxygen in this system because it has been shown recently that very hypoxic cells reduce some nitroxides much more rapidly than oxic cells and therefore it seemed possible that the rapid loss of radical adducts of DMPO was due to the hypoxic conditions under which the previous experiments were carried out. The results of the present experiments indicate that the loss of the DMPO spin adducts occurs in other cell systems as well, that the decomposition rate is independent of the concentration of oxygen, and that the final products of cellular metabolism of DMPO adducts are different from those of most nitroxides. There is no evidence that intracellular DMPO-spin adducts of oxygen radicals can be observed under conditions similar to those used in this study. We conclude that DMPO is not likely to be a suitable agent for studying intracellular oxygen radicals. 相似文献

To spin trap hydroxyl radical (HO*) with in vivo detection of the resultant radical adducts, the use of two spin traps, 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) and 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DEPMPO) (10 mmol/kg) has been compared. In mice treatment with 5-aminolevulinic acid and Fe3+ resulted in detection of adducts of hydroxyl radicals (HO*), but only with use of DEPMPO. Similarly, 'HO* adducts' generated via nucleophilic substitution of SO4*- adducts formed in vivo could be observed only when using DEPMPO as the spin trap. The reasons for the differences observed between DEPMPO and DMPO are likely due to different in vivo lifetimes of their hydroxyl radical adducts. These results seem to be the first direct in vivo EPR detection of hydroxyl radical adducts. 相似文献

Direct evidence for the detection of intermediate radicals of nucleic acid constituents induced by ultrasound in argon-saturated aqueous solution is presented. The method of spin trapping with 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzene sulphonate, which is a water-soluble, non-volatile, aromatic nitroso spin trap, combined with ESR, was used for the detection of sonochemically induced radicals. Spin adducts were also generated by OH radicals produced by UV photolysis of aqueous solution containing H2O2. ESR spectra observed from these photolysis experiments were identical to those after sonolysis. The ESR spectra of the spin adducts suggest that the major spin-trapped radical of thymine and thymidine was the 5-yl radical, and that of cytosine, cytidine, uracil, and uridine was the 6-yl radical. To compare the radicals induced by sonolysis and photolysis, the decay of the ESR spectra of the thymine and thymidine spin adducts was investigated. The decay curves of thymine and thymidine after sonolysis indicated biphasic decay. However, after photolysis the spin adducts from both compounds showed very little decay. These results suggest that the observed spin adducts in the sonolysis of pyrimidine bases and nucleosides were formed by OH radical and H atom addition to the 5,6 double-bond. 相似文献

We have used the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline-1-oxide (DMPO) and EPR to detect lipid-derived radicals (Ld*) during peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and cells (K-562 and MCF-7). All oxygen-centered radical adducts of DMPO from our oxidizable targets have short lifetimes (<20 min). We hypothesized that the short lifetimes of these spin adducts are due in part to their reaction with radicals formed during lipid peroxidation. We proposed that stopping the lipid peroxidation processes by separating oxidation-mediator from oxidation-substrate with an appropriate extraction would stabilize the spin adducts. To test this hypothesis we used ethyl acetate to extract the lipid-derived radical adducts of DMPO (DMPO/Ld*) from an oxidizing docosahexaenioc acid (DHA) solution; Folch extraction was used for LDL and cell experiments. The lifetimes of DMPO spin adducts post-extraction are much longer (>10 h) than the spin adducts detected without extraction. In iron-mediated DHA oxidation we observed three DMPO adducts in the aqueous phase and two in the organic phase. The aqueous phase contains DMPO/HO* aN approximately aH approximately 14.8 G) and two carbon-centered radical adducts (aN1 approximately 15.8 G, aH1 approximately 22.6 G; aN2 approximately 15.2 G, aH2 approximately 18.9 G). The organic phase contains two long-chain lipid radical adducts (aN approximately 13.5 G, aH approximately 10.2 G; and aN approximately 12.8 G; aH approximately 6.85 G, 1.9 G). We conclude that extraction significantly increases the lifetimes of the spin adducts, allowing detection of a variety of lipid-derived radicals by EPR. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species are by-products of aerobic metabolism involved in the onset and evolution of various pathological conditions. Among them, the superoxide radical is of special interest as the origin of several damaging species such as H2O2, hydroxyl radical, or peroxynitrite (ONOO−). Spin trapping coupled with ESR is a method of choice to characterize these species in chemical and biological systems and the metabolic stability of the spin adducts derived from reaction of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals with nitrones is the main limit to the in vivo application of the method. Recently, new cyclic nitrones bearing a triphenylphosphonium or permethylated β-cyclodextrin moiety have been synthesized and their spin adducts demonstrated increased stability in buffer. In this article, we studied the stability of the superoxide adducts of four new cyclic nitrones in the presence of liver subcellular fractions and biologically relevant reductants using an original setup combining a stopped-flow device and an ESR spectrometer. The kinetics of disappearance of the spin adducts were analyzed using an appropriate simulation program. Our results highlight the interest of the new spin trapping agents CD-DEPMPO and CD-DIPPMPO for specific detection of superoxide with high stability of the superoxide adducts in the presence of liver microsomes. 相似文献

The organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide are tumor promoters in the skin of SENCAR mice, and this activity is presumed to be mediated through the activation of the hydroperoxides to free radical species. In this study we have assessed the generation of free radicals from organic hydroperoxides in the target cell (the murine basal keratinocyte) using electron spin resonance. Incubation of primary isolates of keratinocytes from SENCAR mice in the presence of spin traps (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide or 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane) and either tert-butyl hydroperoxide or cumene hydroperoxide resulted in the generation and detection of radical adducts of these spin traps. tert-Butyl alkoxyl and alkyl radical adducts of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide were detected shortly after addition of tert-butyl hydroperoxide, whereas only alkyl radical adducts were observed with cumene hydroperoxide. Spin trapping of the alkyl radicals with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane led to the identification of methyl and ethyl radical adducts following both tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide exposures. Prior heating of the cells to 100 degrees C for 30 min prevented radical formation. The radical generating capacity of subcellular fractions of these epidermal cells was examined using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide and cumene hydroperoxide, and this activity was confined to the 105,000 X g supernatant fraction. 相似文献

In vivo spin trapping of radical metabolites has become a promising tool in understanding and predicting toxicities caused by different xenobiotics. However, in biological systems radical adducts can be reduced to electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-silent hydroxylamines. To overcome this difficulty, different procedures for reoxidation of the reduced radical adducts were systematically investigated and some metabolic inhibitors of nitroxide reduction were tested. As a test system, carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a known hepatotoxic substance, was used. CCl4 is metabolized by liver to .CCl3 and, in the presence of the spin trap phenyl N-t-butylnitrone (PBN), forms the PBN/.CCl3 and PBN/.CO2- radical adducts. These radical adducts were measured in the bile using electron paramagnetic resonance after administration of CCl4 and PBN to the rat. We have shown that these radical adducts were reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamines in vivo, since immediately after the collection of bile only traces of the radical adducts could be detected, but after oxidation by different procedures such as bubbling with oxygen, addition of mild oxidant potassium ferricyanide or autoxidation the EPR spectra intensity increases, indicating that the hydroxylamines had been re-oxidized back to nitroxides. The collection of bile into plastic Eppendorf tubes containing the sulfhydryl reagent N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) or the enzyme ascorbate oxidase did not increase the intensity of the spectra significantly, demonstrating that neither reduction by reduced glutathione (GSH) nor ascorbic acid occurred ex vivo. However in the presence of NEM faster re-oxidation was observed. A new radical adduct that was not observed previously in any in vivo experiment and which exhibited 13C hyperfine coupling was detected when the rats were injected with 13CCl4. We have proven that this is the same adduct detected previously in vitro in microsomal incubations of CCl4, PBN, GSH, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). As a general rule, we have shown that a variety of oxidation procedures should be tried to detect the different radical adducts which are otherwise not observable due to the in vivo reduction of radical adducts. 相似文献

The previously reported combination of an on-line high-performance liquid chromatography (LC)/electron spin resonance (ESR) system with mass spectrometric analysis (MS) created a unique technique to identify a variety of lipid-derived radicals ((.)L(d)) formed from in vitro lipid peroxidation (Iwahashi et al. [20]). To improve the sensitivity, resolution, and reliability of this method for in vitro and in vivo studies, we have investigated the effects of mobile phase pH, modifiers, and columns on the chromatographic separation of linoleic acid-derived radical adducts. Using tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 0.1% glacial acetic acid (HOAc) in an H(2)O/acetonitrile (ACN) mobile phase greatly increased the resolution and retention reproducibility of lipid radical adducts in LC/ESR. In addition, these modifications allowed the elimination of an ESR tuning problem and the synchronization of UV and ESR detection of radical adducts in on-line LC/ESR, neither of which had been possible previously. Analyte purity was therefore increased, thus increasing the reliability of radical detection via on-line LC/ESR as well as radical identification via MS analysis. For the first time, POBN adducts of linoleic carbon-centered pentadienyl radicals (L(.)) were detected and identified. The optimization of chromatography in the LC/ESR and MS combination provided a reliable and sensitive way for the detection and identification of expected radical adducts in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Lipid alkyl radicals generated from polyunsaturated fatty acids via chemical or enzymatic H-abstraction have been a pathologically important target to quantify. In the present study, we established a novel method for the quantification of lipid alkyl radicals via nitroxyl radical spin-trapping. These labile lipid alkyl radicals were converted into nitroxyl radical-lipid alkyl radical adducts using 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl (CmdeltaP) (a partition coefficient between octanol and water is approximately 3) as a spin-trapping agent. The resulting CmdeltaP-lipid alkyl radical adducts were determined by HPLC with postcolumn online thermal decomposition, in which the adducts were degraded into nitroxyl radicals by heating at 100 degrees C for 2 min. The resulting nitroxyl radicals were selectively and sensitively detected by electrochemical detection. With the present method, we, for the first time, determined the lipid alkyl radicals generated from linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid via soybean lipoxygenase-1 or the radical initiator 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile). 相似文献

SummaryDetection of hydroxyl free radicals is frequently performed by electron spin resonance (ESR) following spin trapping of the radical using 5,5-dimethylpyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) to generate a stable free radical having a characteristic ESR spectrum. The necessary ESR equipment is expensive and not readily available to many laboratories. In the present study, a specific and sensitive gas chromatography—mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method for detection of hydroxyl and hydroxyethyl free radicals is described. The DMPO or N-t-butyl—α—phenylnitrone (PBN) radical adducts are extracted and derivatized by trimethylsylilation and analyzed by GC/MS. To standardize the method, .OH and 1-hydroxyethyl radicals were generated in two different systems: 1) a Fenton reaction in a pure chemical system in the absence or presence of ethanol and 2) in liver microsomal suspensions where ethanol is metabolized in the presence of NADPH. In the Fenton system both radicals were easily detected and specifically identified using DMPO or PBN. In microsomal suspensions DMPO proved better for detection of .OH radicals and PBN more suitable for detection of 1-hydroxyethyl radicals. The procedure is specific, sensitive and potentially as useful as ESR. 相似文献

Spin Trapping Using 2,2-Dimethyl-2H-Imidazole-1-Oxides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The ability of novel cyclic nitrones, 4-substituted 2,2-dimethyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxides (IMO's) to trap a variety of short-lived free radicals has been investigated using ESR spectroscopy. IMO's scavenge oxygen-, carbon- and sulfur-derived free radicals to give persistent nitroxides. Compared to the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-pyrroline-1-oxide, a higher lifetime of hydroxyl radical adducts and a higher selectivity related to the trapping of carbon-centered radicals was found. A reaction between IMO's and superoxide was not observed. ESR parameters of 4-carboxyl-2,2-dimethyl-2H-imidazole-1-oxide (CIMO) spin adducts are highly sensitive to the structure of the trapped radical, e.g., different spectra were detected with radicals derived from Na2SO3 and NaHSO3. From the data obtained, a successful application of these new spin traps in biological systems can be expected. 相似文献

A novel cyclic nitrone spin trap, 5-tert-butoxycarbonyl 5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (BMPO) as a pure white solid has been synthesized for the first time. BMPO offers several advantages over the existing spin traps in the detection and characterization of thiyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anions in biological systems. The corresponding BMPO adducts exhibit distinct and characteristic electron spin resonance (ESR) spectral patterns. Unlike the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)-derived superoxide adduct, the BMPO superoxide adduct does not non-enzymatically decompose to the BMPO hydroxyl adduct. This feature is clearly perceived as a definite advantage of BMPO in its biological applications. In addition, the ESR spectrum of the BMPO glutathionyl adduct (BMPO/*SG) does not fully overlap with the spectrum of its hydroxyl adduct. This spectral feature is again distinctly different from that of DMPO because the ESR spectral lines of DMPO glutathionyl and hydroxyl radical adducts largely overlap. Finally, the ESR spectra of BMPO-derived adducts exhibit a much higher signal-to-noise ratio in biological systems. These favorable chemical and spectroscopic features make BMPO ideal for the detection of superoxide anions, hydroxyl and thiyl radicals in biochemical oxidation and reduction. 相似文献

Activation of the superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase of intestinal lymphocytes produces highly reactive free radicals from sulfite. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of immune cells of the small intestine to produce highly reactive free radicals from the food additive sulfites. These free radicals were characterized with a spin-trapping technique using the spin traps 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). In the presence of glucose, purified lymphocytes from intestinal Peyer's patches (PP) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to produce superoxide and hydroxyl DEPMPO radical adducts. The formation of these adducts was inhibited by superoxide dismutase or diphenyleneiodonium chloride, indicating that these cells produced superoxide radical during reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation. With the treatment of sodium sulfite, PMA-stimulated PP lymphocytes produced a DEPMPO-sulfite radical adduct and an unknown radical adduct. When DEPMPO was replaced with DMPO, DMPO-sulfite and hydroxyl radical adducts were detected. The latter adduct resulted from DMPO oxidation by sulfate radical, which was capable of oxidizing formate or ethanol. Oxygen consumption rates were further increased after the addition of sulfite to PMA-stimulated lymphocytes, suggesting the presence of sulfiteperoxyl radical. Taken together, oxidants generated by stimulated lymphocytes oxidized sulfite to sulfite radical, which subsequently formed sulfiteperoxyl and sulfate radicals. The latter two radicals are highly reactive, contributing to increased oxidative stress, which may lead to sulfite toxicity, altered functions in intestinal lymphocytes, or both. 相似文献

Improvements in analytical methodology have led to the detection and quantification of 'background' levels of a number of DNA and protein adducts. Many of these adducts are derived from 'low molecular weight' reactive species which may be generated during normal physiological processes, metabolic pathways or inflammatory processes. The adducts have been detected using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, HPLC in combination with various detection systems, 32P-postlabelling and immunoassay methods. The reliability and accuracy of many widely used methods for adduct measurements are discussed with reference to several examples where human data is available, namely 4-aminobiphenyl, malondialdehyde, methylating agents, ethylene oxide and hydroxyl radical damage. The accurate and specific quantitation of 'background' levels of damage is essential if reliable estimates of increases in risk associated with incremental increases in exposure to exogenous agents are to be calculated. In experimental studies using low dose exposures to carcinogens, such as N-nitrosodimethylamine, adduct levels in liver correlate closely with tumour incidence. In all likelihood, such relationships need to be established for each exposure and, in order to be relevant to human risk assessment, need to take into account factors such as DNA repair and mutagenic efficiency. Finally, in order to estimate the increase in cancer attributable to a given level of external exposure, it is clearly important to establish background levels of corresponding DNA damage so that the scale of the incremental increase can be calculated. 相似文献

The generation of free radicals in a superoxide (O2-)driven Fe+3 catalysed reactions with isolated myocytic sarcolemma using electron spin resonance was investigated. Incubation of highly purified canine myocytic sarcolemma in the presence of the spin trap, 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (MNP). followed by the addition of dihydroxyfurmarate (DHF) and Fe+3-ADP resulted in the generation and detection of radical adducts of this spin trap. Spin trapping of the alkyl radicals with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane led to the identification of methyl radical adduct following exposure to DHF/Fe+3-ADP. With sarcolemma and the alkyl nitroso compound, the only radical product trapped was the methyl radical formed by β-scission of alkoxyl radical. The participation of hydroperoxide-derived radicals in this system verified that the decomposition of unsaturated hydroperoxy fatty acid does proceed via a free radical mechanism. 相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the thiobarbituric acid adducts of malonaldehyde and trans,trans-muconaldehyde 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A reversed-phase HPLC method is described for the separation and analysis of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) adducts of the reactive aldehydes muconaldehyde (MUC) and malonaldehyde (MDA). The TBA adduct of malonaldehyde was synthesized, purified, and its structure elucidated, for use as standard in quantitative HPLC studies. A detection limit of 1 X 10(-14) mol was achieved for the MUC:TBA and MDA:TBA adducts using the double monochromator fluorometric detector, 7 X 10(-13) mol was the detection limit using a variable wavelength uv-visible detector. Direct on-line identification of the eluting aldehyde:TBA adducts was achieved by the use of a diode-array uv-visible detector. The chromatographic behavior of the adducts under different mobile phase conditions was also examined. This HPLC methodology was used for the identification of muconaldehyde as a product of benzene oxidation in a hydroxyl radical generating system. 相似文献
