a series of ortho -hydroxypyridine-4-ones were prepared in high yields and evaluated for antioxidant and iron chelating activities. n 1 -h hydroxypyridinones va , vb , and ve were the best radical scavengers in dpph free radical scavenging assay. compound vb was proved to be the most potent compound in hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay. all of the synthesized compounds had very close chelating...

Hematoporphyrin derivative, used in photodynamic therapy of cancer, was found to generate the cysteinyl free radical as seen by spin-trapping. Oxygen appears to be an absolute requirement for thiyl radical production. Singlet oxygen may be the initiating species since azide inhibits oxygen uptake and radical production. In addition, the hydroxyl radical, or a radical with similar reactivity, is...

The preparation process of protein enzymolysis technology for the three-spot seahorse (Hippocampus trimaculatus Leach) degreased bone meal was developed. Two enzymes with better enzymolysis effect were selected from the five proteases, and the optimization condition of the Alkaline Protease is temperature - 54.7°C, pH - 9, duration of 6 h, the acquired rate of polypeptides was 11.77%; and that ...

Ever since their experimental discovery in 1985, fullerenes have attracted considerable attention in different fields of sciences. Investigations of chemical, physical and biological properties of fullerenes have yielded promising information. Their unique carbon cage structure coupled with immense scope for derivatization makes fullerenes a potential therapeutic agent. Henceforth various poten...

Bleomycin is well known as causative molecule for acute lung injury and interstitial pneumonia. The free radical production from bleomycin is thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury and interstitial pneumonia. However, there was no direct evidence of free radical production in this model. Therefore, we examined in vivo radical production by mice treated with a...
