Abstract
Ultrasound, featuring deep tissue penetration and noninvasiveness, offers a new opportunity to activate functional materials in a tumor-selective manner. However, very few direct ultrasound-responsive redox systems are applicable under therapeutic ultrasound (1 MHz). Herein, the investigations on nanoprodrug of DHE@PEG-SS-DSPE are reported, which exhibit glutathione-activated release of dihydroethidium (DHE) in tumor cells. DHE is stable with good biosafety and is transformed into cytotoxic ethidium to induce DNA damage under medical ultrasound irradiation, accompanied by the generation of reactive oxygen species. Further, DHE@PEG-SS-DSPE could effectively induce ferroptosis through glutathione depletion, lipid peroxide accumulation, and downregulation of glutathione peroxidase 4. In vivo studies confirmed that DHE@PEG-SS-DSPE nanoparticles effectively inhibit both the growth of solid tumors and the expression of metastasis-related proteins in mice, thus effectively inhibiting lung metastasis. This DHE-based prodrug nanosystem could lay a foundation for the design of ultrasound-driven therapeutic agents.

Design Optimization of a Submersible Chemiluminescent Sensor (DISCO) for Improved Quantification of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Surface Waters. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 22:6683.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key drivers of biogeochemical cycling while also exhibiting both positive and negative effects on marine ecosystem health. However, quantification of the ROS superoxide (O2-) within environmental systems is hindered by its short half-life. Recently, the development of the diver-operated submersible chemiluminescent sensor (DISCO), a submersible, handheld instrument, enabled in situ superoxide measurements in real time within shallow coral reef ecosystems. Here, we present a redesigned and improved instrument, DISCO II. Similar to the previous DISCO, DISCO II is a self-contained, submersible sensor, deployable to 30 m depth and capable of measuring reactive intermediate species in real time. DISCO II is smaller, lighter, lower cost, and more robust than its predecessor. Laboratory validation of DISCO II demonstrated an average limit of detection in natural seawater of 133.1 pM and a percent variance of 0.7%, with stable photo multiplier tube (PMT) counts, internal temperature, and flow rates. DISCO II can also be optimized for diverse environmental conditions by adjustment of the PMT supply voltage and integration time. Field tests showed no drift in the data with a percent variance of 3.0%. Wand tip adaptations allow for in situ calibrations and decay rates of superoxide using a chemical source of superoxide (SOTS-1). Overall, DISCO II is a versatile, user-friendly sensor that enables measurements in diverse environments, thereby improving our understanding of the cycling of reactive intermediates, such as ROS, across various marine ecosystems.

Abstract
Herein we demonstrate that copper(II)-diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone)(CuATSM), clinical candidate for the treatment of ALS and Parkinson's disease, is a highly potent radical-trapping antioxidant (RTA) and inhibitor of (phospho)lipid peroxidation. In THF autoxidations, CuATSM reacts with THF-derived peroxyl radicals with kinh = 2.2 × 106 M-1 s-1─roughly 10-fold greater than α-tocopherol (α-TOH), Nature's best RTA. Mechanistic studies reveal no H/D kinetic isotope effects and a lack of rate-suppressing effects from H-bonding interactions, implying a different mechanism from α-TOH and other canonical RTAs, which react by H-atom transfer (HAT). Similar reactivity was observed for the corresponding Ni2+ complex and complexes of both Cu2+ and Ni2+ with other bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligands. Computations corroborate the experimental finding that rate-limiting HAT cannot account for the observed RTA activity and instead suggest that the reversible addition of a peroxyl radical to the bis(thiosemicarbazone) ligand is responsible. Subsequent HAT or combination with another peroxyl radical drives the reaction forward, such that a maximum of four radicals are trapped per molecule of CuATSM. This sequence is supported by spectroscopic and mass spectrometric experiments on isolated intermediates. Importantly, the RTA activity of CuATSM (and its analogues) translates from organic solution to phospholipid bilayers, thereby accounting for its (their) ability to inhibit ferroptosis. Experiments in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and hippocampal cells reveal that lipophilicity as well as inherent RTA activity contribute to the potency of ferroptosis rescue, and that one compound (CuATSP) is almost 20-fold more potent than CuATSM and among the most potent ferroptosis inhibitors reported to date.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to achieve in situ photochemical synthesis of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) stabilized by the multiple-amine groups of chitosan (Ch@AgNCs) with luminescent and photothermal properties. Ch@AgNCs were obtained by applying a fast and simple methodology previously described by our group. Direct functionalization of AgNCs with chitosan template provided new nanohybrids directly in water solution, both in the presence or absence of oxygen. The formation of hybrid AgNCs could be monitored by the rapid increase of the absorption and emission maximum band with light irradiation time. New Ch@AgNCs not only present photoluminescent properties but also photothermal properties when irradiated with near infrared light (NIR), transducing efficiently NIR into heat and increasing the temperature of the medium up to 23 °C. The chitosan polymeric shell associated to AgNCs works as a protective support stabilizing the metal cores, facilitating the storage of nanohybrids and preserving luminescent, photothermal and bactericide properties.

Insight into the mechanism of ferroptosis inhibition by ferrostatin-1. Redox Biol 2020; 28:101328.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of cell death primed by iron and lipid hydroperoxides and prevented by GPx4. Ferrostatin-1 (fer-1) inhibits ferroptosis much more efficiently than phenolic antioxidants. Previous studies on the antioxidant efficiency of fer-1 adopted kinetic tests where a diazo compound generates the hydroperoxyl radical scavenged by the antioxidant. However, this reaction, accounting for a chain breaking effect, is only minimally useful for the description of the inhibition of ferrous iron and lipid hydroperoxide dependent peroxidation. Scavenging lipid hydroperoxyl radicals, indeed, generates lipid hydroperoxides from which ferrous iron initiates a new peroxidative chain reaction. We show that when fer-1 inhibits peroxidation, initiated by iron and traces of lipid hydroperoxides in liposomes, the pattern of oxidized species produced from traces of pre-existing hydroperoxides is practically identical to that observed following exhaustive peroxidation in the absence of the antioxidant. This supported the notion that the anti-ferroptotic activity of fer-1 is actually due to the scavenging of initiating alkoxyl radicals produced, together with other rearrangement products, by ferrous iron from lipid hydroperoxides. Notably, fer-1 is not consumed while inhibiting iron dependent lipid peroxidation. The emerging concept is that it is ferrous iron itself that reduces fer-1 radical. This was supported by electroanalytical evidence that fer-1 forms a complex with iron and further confirmed in cells by fluorescence of calcein, indicating a decrease of labile iron in the presence of fer-1. The notion of such as pseudo-catalytic cycle of the ferrostatin-iron complex was also investigated by means of quantum mechanics calculations, which confirmed the reduction of an alkoxyl radical model by fer-1 and the reduction of fer-1 radical by ferrous iron. In summary, GPx4 and fer-1 in the presence of ferrous iron, produces, by distinct mechanism, the most relevant anti-ferroptotic effect, i.e the disappearance of initiating lipid hydroperoxides.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is associated with a decreased antioxidant capacity. However, neither the contribution of reactive oxygen species to pulmonary vasoconstrictor sensitivity, nor the therapeutic efficacy of antioxidant strategies in this setting are known. We hypothesized that reactive oxygen species play a central role in mediating both vasoconstrictor and arterial remodeling components of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. We examined the effect of the chemical antioxidant, TEMPOL, on right ventricular systolic pressure, vascular remodeling, and enhanced vasoconstrictor reactivity in both chronic hypoxia and hypoxia/SU5416 rat models of pulmonary hypertension. SU5416 is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antagonist and the combination of chronic hypoxia/SU5416 produces a model of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension with vascular plexiform lesions/fibrosis that is not present with chronic hypoxia alone. The major findings from this study are: 1) compared to hypoxia alone, hypoxia/SU5416 exposure caused more severe pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, adventitial lesion formation, and greater vasoconstrictor sensitivity through a superoxide and Rho kinase-dependent Ca2+ sensitization mechanism. 2) Chronic hypoxia increased medial muscularization and superoxide levels, however there was no effect of SU5416 to augment these responses. 3) Treatment with TEMPOL decreased right ventricular systolic pressure in both hypoxia and hypoxia/SU5416 groups. 4) This effect of TEMPOL was associated with normalization of vasoconstrictor responses, but not arterial remodeling. Rather, medial hypertrophy and adventitial fibrotic lesion formation were more pronounced following chronic TEMPOL treatment in hypoxia/SU5416 rats. Our findings support a major role for reactive oxygen species in mediating enhanced vasoconstrictor reactivity and pulmonary hypertension in both chronic hypoxia and hypoxia/SU5416 rat models, despite a paradoxical effect of antioxidant therapy to exacerbate arterial remodeling in animals with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension in the hypoxia/SU5416 model.

Abstract
Simultaneous production of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide generates peroxynitrite and causes nitroxidative stress. The fluorometric method for NO detection is based on the formation of a fluorescent product from the reaction of a nonfluorescent probe molecule with NO-derived nitrosating species. Here, we present an example of how nitroxidative chemistry could interact with fluorescent probe chemistry. 2,3-Naphthotriazole (NAT) is the NO-derived fluorescent product of 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (DAN), a commonly used NO-detecting molecule. We show that NO/superoxide cogeneration, and particularly peroxynitrite, mediates the chemical decomposition of NAT. Moreover, the extent of NAT decomposition depends on the relative fluxes of NO and superoxide; the maximum effect being reached at almost equivalent generation rates for both radicals. The rate constant for the reaction of NAT with peroxynitrite was determined to be 2.2×10(3)M(-1)s(-1). Further, various peroxynitrite scavengers were shown to effectively inhibit NO/superoxide- and peroxynitrite-mediated decomposition of NAT. Taken together, the present study suggests that the interference of a fluorometric NO assay can be originated from the interaction between the final fluorescent product and the formed reactive nitrogen and oxygen species.

Abstract
Our laboratory shows that acid-sensing ion channel 1 (ASIC1) contributes to the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by augmenting store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) that is associated with enhanced agonist-induced vasoconstriction and arterial remodeling. However, this enhanced Ca(2+) influx following chronic hypoxia (CH) is not dependent on an increased ASIC1 protein expression in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC). It is well documented that hypoxic pulmonary hypertension is associated with changes in redox potential and reactive oxygen species homeostasis. ASIC1 is a redox-sensitive channel showing increased activity in response to reducing agents, representing an alternative mechanism of regulation. We hypothesize that the enhanced SOCE following CH results from removal of an inhibitory effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on ASIC1. We found that CH increased PASMC superoxide (O2 (·-)) and decreased rat pulmonary arterial H2O2 levels. This decrease in H2O2 is a result of decreased Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase expression and activity, as well as increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) expression and activity following CH. Whereas H2O2 inhibited ASIC1-dependent SOCE in PASMC from control and CH animals, addition of catalase augmented ASIC1-mediated SOCE in PASMC from control rats but had no further effect in PASMC from CH rats. These data suggest that, under control conditions, H2O2 inhibits ASIC1-dependent SOCE. Furthermore, H2O2 levels are decreased following CH as a result of diminished dismutation of O2 (·-) and increased H2O2 catalysis through GPx-1, leading to augmented ASIC1-dependent SOCE.

Abstract
This tutorial review is designed to dispel the myth, still believed by many synthetic organic chemists, that radical-based syntheses are free from significant solvent effects. However, many synthetically valuable radical reactions do exhibit large kinetic solvent effects. It is therefore important to select the solvent for any proposed radical synthesis with considerable care if good product yields are to be achieved.

Abstract
Superoxide (O(2)(-)) is an important short lived transient reactive oxygen species (ROS) in seawater. The main source of O(2)(-) in the ocean is believed to be through photochemical reactions though biological processes may also be important. Sink terms for O(2)(-) include redox reactions with bioactive trace metals, including Cu and Fe, and to a lesser extent dissolved organic matter (DOM). Information on the source fluxes, sinks and concentration of superoxide in the open ocean are crucial to improving our understanding of the biogeochemical cycling of redox active species. As O(2)(-) is a highly reactive transient species present at low concentrations it is not a trivial task to make accurate and precise measurements in seawater. In this study we developed the appropriate numerical analysis tools and investigated a number of superoxide sources and methods for the purposes of calibrating O(2)(-) concentrations and/or fluxes specifically in seawater. We found the superoxide thermal source bis(4-carboxybenzyl)hyponitrite (SOTS)-1 easy to employ as a reliable source of O(2)(-) which could be successfully applied in seawater. The thermal decomposition of SOTS-1 in seawater was evaluated over a range of seawater temperatures using both a flux based detection scheme developed using two spectrophotometric methods: (i) 7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-Cl) and (ii) ferricytochrome c (FC), or a concentration based detection scheme using a chemiluminescence flow injection method based on the Cypridina luciferin analog 2-methyl-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)3-7-dihydroimidazol[1,2-alpha]pyrazin-3-one (MCLA) as reagent. Our results suggest SOTS-1 is the best available O(2)(-) source for determining concentrations and fluxes, all detection systems tested have their pros and cons and the choice of which to use depends more on the duration and type of experiment that is required.

Abstract
Highly fluorescent silver nanoparticles (AgFNP) have been prepared by a facile photochemical method, yielding these materials in just a few minutes and with excellent long-term stability. The method makes use of photogenerated ketyl radicals that reduce Ag(+) from silver trifluoroacetate in the presence of amines. While as functional materials these AgFNP can be described as of nanometer dimensions, we believe that the luminescence arises from particle-supported small metal clusters (predominantly Ag(2)). The materials have been characterized by electron microscopy, fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime studies, and (19)F NMR spectroscopy. Exploratory work shows that the fluorescence from AgFNP can be efficiently quenched by paramagnetic quenchers, and these studies have been combined with electron paramagnetic resonance work.

Abstract
MPO (myeloperoxidase) catalyses the oxidation of chloride, bromide and thiocyanate to their respective hypohalous acids. We have investigated the generation of HOBr by human neutrophils in the presence of physiological concentrations of chloride and bromide. HOBr was trapped with taurine and detected by monitoring the bromination of 4-HPAA (4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid). With 100 microM bromide and 140 mM chloride, neutrophils generated HOBr and it accounted for approx. 13% of the hypohalous acids they produced. Addition of SOD (superoxide dismutase) doubled the amount of HOBr detected. Therefore we investigated the reaction of superoxide radicals with a range of bromamines and bromamides and found that superoxide radicals stimulated the decomposition of these species, with this occurring in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The protection afforded by SOD against such decay demonstrates that these processes are superoxide-radical-dependent. These data are consistent with neutrophils generating HOBr at sites of infection and inflammation. Both HOBr and bromamines/bromamides have the potential to react with superoxide radicals to form additional radicals that may contribute to inflammatory tissue damage.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed enzymatically, chemically, photochemically, and by irradiation of food. They are also formed by the decomposition and the inter-reactions of ROS. Hydroxy radical is the most reactive ROS, followed by singlet oxygen. Reactions of ROS with food components produce undesirable volatile compounds and carcinogens, destroy essential nutrients, and change the functionalities of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Lipid oxidation by ROS produces low molecular volatile aldehydes, alcohols, and hydrocarbons. ROS causes crosslink or cleavage of proteins and produces low molecular carbonyls from carbohydrates. Vitamins are easily oxidized by ROS, especially singlet oxygen. The singlet oxygen reaction rate was the highest in ss-carotene, followed by tocopherol, riboflavin, vitamin D, and ascorbic acid.

Abstract
Nitroglycerin is an organic nitrate that has been used in the clinical treatment of angina for 130 years, yet important details of its mechanism of action remain unanswered. The biological activity of nitrates suggests that they are bioactivated to NO via a three-electron reduction. The involvement of free or bound protein thiols in this reduction has often been proposed. To examine the involvement of thiyl radicals in such a process, the photochemical generation of benzenethiyl radical from thiol and disulfide precursors was studied in the presence of isopropyl nitrate. Analysis of reaction products and kinetics led to the conclusion that photolysis of the nitrate to NO2dominated the observed photochemistry. Formation of sulfonothioate and NO as products, and trapping of NO2by 4-chlorophenol, indicated a mechanism involving oxygen atom transfer from N to S via a thionitrate intermediate. The results of the study did not indicate a rapid reaction between thiyl radical and organic nitrate. Despite weak nitrate absorption of light >300 nm and a relatively high BDE for homolysis to give NO2, the photochemistry under thiyl-generating conditions was driven by nitrate photolysis to NO2. A novel nitrate, containing a phenyl disulfanyl group linked to nitrate groups, did not undergo photolysis to NO2or generate sulfonothioate, but did yield NO. These observations suggest that reaction between thiyl radicals and nitrates leading to NO release is a viable pathway, but it is subservient to other competing reactions, such as photolysis, in the case of IPN, and reaction with thiolate, in the case of the novel nitrate.Key words: nitrate, photolysis, thiyl radical, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide.

Abstract
The highly basic heme enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), which is released by activated phagocytes, catalyzes the production of the potent oxidant hypochlorite (HOCl) from H(2)O(2) and chloride ions (Cl(-)). Heparan sulfate proteoglycans are key components of the extracellular matrix and cell surfaces and are known to bind MPO avidly via their negatively charged heparan sulfate chains. Reaction of heparan sulfate with HOCl generates polymer-derived N-chloro derivatives (chloramines, dichloramines, N-chlorosulfonamides, and chloramides). In this study, it is shown that heparan sulfate N-chloro derivatives are decomposed in the presence of redox-active transition-metal ions and superoxide (O(2)(*-)). These processes initiate polymer modification/fragmentation. Radical intermediates in these processes have been identified by EPR spectroscopy and spin trapping. Evidence has been obtained that the N-chloro derivatives undergo reductive homolysis to nitrogen-centered (aminyl, N-chloroaminyl, sulfonamidyl, and amidyl) radicals that generate carbon-centered radicals via rapid, intramolecular hydrogen atom abstraction reactions (1,2- and/or 1,5-shifts). In the case of the sulfonamidyl radicals, rearrangement via 1,2-shifts and beta-scission of the resultant C-2 carbon-centered radicals to yield SO(3)(*-) and C-2 imines is near quantitative based on the yield of SO(4)(2-), the decomposition product of SO(3)(*-). The formation of strand breaks and chromophores during these reactions is attributed to the formation and subsequent heterolytic rearrangement of the C-2 imines. The degradation of heparan sulfate via reductive homolysis of its N-chloro derivatives may be of significance at sites of inflammation, where MPO-derived HOCl is produced in high concentration and transition-metal ions and O(2)(*-) are known to be present or generated.

Abstract
Isoniazid is an antituberculosis prodrug that requires activation by the catalase-peroxidase (KatG) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The activated species, presumed to be an isonicotinoyl radical, couples to NADH forming an isoniazid-NADH adduct that ultimately confers antitubercular activity. We have compared the catalytic properties of three KatGs associated with isoniazid resistance (resistance mutation KatGs, (RM)KatGs: R104L, H108Q, S315T) to wild-type enzyme and two additional lab mutations (wild-type phenotype KatGs, (WTP)KatGs: WT KatG, Y229F, R418L). Neither catalase nor peroxidase activities, nor the presence/absence of the Met-Tyr-Trp cross-link (as probed by LC/MS on tryptic digests of the protein), exhibited any correlation with isoniazid resistance. The yields of isoniazid-NADH adduct formed were determined to be 1-5, 4-12, and 20-70-fold greater for the (WTP)KatGs than the (RM)KatGs for the compound I, II, and III pathways, respectively, strongly suggesting a role for oxyferrous KatG (supported by superoxide consumption measurements) that correlates with drug resistance. Stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopic studies revealed that all KatGs were capable of forming both compound II and III intermediates. Rates of compound II decay were accelerated 4-12-fold in the presence of isoniazid (vs absence) for the (WTP)KatGs but were unaffected by the drug for the (RM)KatGs. A mechanism for isoniazid resistance which accounts for the observed reactivity for each of the compound I, II, and III intermediates is proposed and suggests that the compound III pathway may be the primary factor in determining overall isoniazid resistance by specific KatG mutants, with secondary contributions arising from the compound I and II pathways.

Abstract
A substrate study was undertaken in order to probe the scope of S(2)Cl(2) coupling of alcohols to form dialkoxy disulfides. Compounds 1b and 1f are new; along with 1a, 1c, 1h, and 1j, all of the title compounds are fully characterized, and the yields of 1a and 1c have been optimized from previously reported syntheses. The effect of the R-substituent about the OSSO moiety has been carefully probed as yields vary. A substrate and a solvent study of the coalescence behavior of this class was carried out. The origin of the inherently large barrier to rotation and the resultant thermal decomposition pathway is discussed. Both phenomena are shown to be solvent independent; hindered rotation is substrate independent. The decomposition of 1a is ca. 7 kcal/mol higher than the barrier to rotation about the S-S bond. The combined evidence suggests acyclic unsymmetric homolytic cleavage of the dialkoxy disulfide.

Abstract
Activated phagocytes release the haem enzyme MPO (myeloperoxidase) and also generate superoxide radicals (O2*-), and hence H2O2, via an oxidative burst. Reaction of MPO with H2O2 in the presence of chloride ions generates HOCl (the physiological mixture of hypochlorous acid and its anion present at pH 7.4). Exposure of glycosaminoglycans to a MPO-H2O2-Cl- system or reagent HOCl generates long-lived chloramides [R-NCl-C(O)-R'] derived from the glycosamine N-acetyl functions. Decomposition of these species by transition metal ions gives polymer-derived amidyl (nitrogen-centred) radicals [R-N*-C(O)-R'], polymer-derived carbon-centred radicals and site-specific strand scission. In the present study, we have shown that exposure of glycosaminoglycan chloramides to O2*- also promotes chloramide decomposition and glycosaminoglycan fragmentation. These processes are inhibited by superoxide dismutase, metal ion chelators and the metal ion-binding protein BSA, consistent with chloramide decomposition and polymer fragmentation occurring via O2*--dependent one-electron reduction, possibly catalysed by trace metal ions. Polymer fragmentation induced by O2*- [generated by the superoxide thermal source 1, di-(4-carboxybenzyl)hyponitrite] was demonstrated to be entirely chloramide dependent as no fragmentation occurred with the native polymers or when the chloramides were quenched by prior treatment with methionine. EPR spin-trapping experiments using 5,5-dimethyl1-pyrroline-N-oxide and 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane have provided evidence for both O2*- and polymer-derived carbon-centred radicals as intermediates. The results obtained are consistent with a mechanism involving one-electron reduction of the chloramides to yield polymer-derived amidyl radicals, which subsequently undergo intramolecular hydrogen atom abstraction reactions to give carbon-centred radicals. The latter undergo fragmentation reactions in a site-specific manner. This synergistic damage to glycosaminoglycans induced by HOCl and O2*- may be of significance at sites of inflammation where both oxidants are generated concurrently.

Abstract
To gain insight into the mechanism of INH activation by KatG and to understand how resistance is conferred by the single active-site point mutation of KatG(S315T), we have employed pulse radiolysis as the means to initiate a catalytic pathway capable of mimicking the in vivo oxidation of isoniazid (INH). Radiolysis of a solution containing WT KatG revealed two intermediates: compound III (oxyferrous KatG) [415 (Soret), 545, 580 nm] formed [k1 = (4.47 +/- 0.91) x 105 M-1 s-1] in the absence of INH and compound II (410 (Soret), 540, 575 nm) formed [k1 = (4.43 +/- 0.69) x 105 M-1 s-1] in the presence of INH, with a comparison of the rates suggesting that compound III (rate-limiting) precedes compound II formation. By contrast, radiolysis of KatG(S315T) only led to compound III formation, whether INH was present [k1 = (4.72 +/- 0.99) x 105 M-1 s-1] or not [k1 = (4.51 +/- 1.38) x 105 M-1 s-1]. HPLC studies to determine the rates of INH-NADH adduct formation (an inhibitor of InhA) as catalyzed by KatG were also performed employing various oxidants: air [WT: (7.18 +/- 1.25) x 10-4, S315T: (0.74 +/- 0.39) x 10-4], superoxide (SOTS-1) [WT: (9.22 +/- 1.10) x 10-4, S315T: not detected], and tert-butylhydroperoxide [WT: (20.5 +/- 1.13) x 10-4, S315T: (10.15 +/- 0.19) x 10-4]. Taken together, the results from the pulse radiolysis work as well as the InhA inhibitor studies allow us to propose a mechanism capable of correlating the inability for the oxyferrous intermediate of KatG(S315T) to oxidize ("activate") INH to the suppressed formation of the INH-NADH adduct, thereby leading to INH resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
Activated phagocytes generate both superoxide radicals via a respiratory burst, and HOCl via the concurrent release of the haem enzyme myeloperoxidase. Amine and amide functions on proteins and carbohydrates are major targets for HOCl, generating chloramines (RNHCl) and chloramides (RC(O)NClR'), which can accumulate to high concentrations (>100 microM). Here we show that superoxide radicals catalyse the decomposition of chloramines and chloramides to reactive nitrogen-centred radicals, and increase the extent of protein fragmentation compared to that observed with either superoxide radicals or HOCl, alone. This synergistic action may be of significance at sites of inflammation, where both superoxide radicals and chloramines/chloramides are formed simultaneously.

Abstract
Rates of peroxidation of human LDL and rates of consumption of the LDL's alpha-tocopherol (TocH) have been measured at 37 degrees C. Peroxidation was initiated by radicals generated in the aerated aqueous phase at known rates by thermal decomposition of appropriate precursors: superoxide (O2(*-)/HOO(*)) from a hyponitrite and alkylperoxyls (ROO(*), two positively charged, one negatively charged and one neutral) from azo compounds. The efficiencies of escape from the solvent cage of the geminate pair of neutral carbon-centered radicals was found to be 0.1, but it was 0.5 for the three charged radicals, a result attributed to radical/radical Coulombic repulsion within the cage. All four alkylperoxyls initiated and terminated tocopherol-mediated peroxidation (TMP) with about equal efficiency and essentially all of these radicals that were generated were consumed in these two reactions. TMP is a radical chain process, and when initiated by the alkylperoxyls, the rate of LDL peroxidation was faster in the early stages while TocH was present than later, after all of this "antioxidant" had been consumed. In contrast, only about 3-4% of the generated superoxide radicals reacted in any measurable fashion with TocH-containing LDL at pH's from 7.6 to 6.5 and peroxidation was much slower than with a similar rate of generation of alkylperoxyls. After all the TocH had been consumed, LDL peroxidation was negligible at pH 7.6 and 7.4, but at pH 6.8 and 6.5, the peroxidation rates showed a large increase over the rates while the TocH had been present. That is, endogenous TocH behaves as an antioxidant in LDL subjected to attack by the physiologically relevant superoxide radical, whereas TocH behaves as a prooxidant in LDL subjected to attack by the probably far less physiologically important alkylperoxyls. Rates of LDL peroxidation initiated by superoxide increased as the pH was decreased, and the results are consistent with the initiation of peroxidation of fresh LDL occurring via H-atom abstraction from TocH by HOO(*) to form the Toc(*) radical and termination by reaction of O2(*-) with Toc(*), a process that occurs partly by addition leading to TocH consumption and partly by electron plus proton transfer leading to the regeneration of TocH.

Abstract
The first method for generating (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-) at any known, constant ratio has been developed. Spermine NONOate and di(4-carboxybenzyl)hyponitrite decay with first-order kinetics and exactly equal rate constants (half-lives of 80 min) at 37 degrees C and pH 7.5 to give 200 and 40 mol % (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-), respectively. Tyrosine oxidation to dityrosine and 3-nitrotyrosine (the major and minor products under the conditions used in these experiments) has been studied (mainly in the presence of CO(2)) using various different ratios of the rates of formation of (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-). The (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-) = 1.0 product profiles are very similar to those of the products derived from equal amounts of (*)NO and O(2)(*)(-) generated at a (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-) ratio of 1.0 from SIN-1 but are very different from those derived from preformed peroxynitrite. All the experimental results can be explained in terms of free radical chemistry. The product profiles at all the (*)NO/O(2)(*)(-) ratios could be satisfactorily simulated provided an important group of reactions which lead to the consumption of dityrosine was included.

Abstract
The amine buffer Tris slowly reduces tetranitromethane (TNM) to the nitroform anion in a non-accelerating reaction. The amine buffers HEPES and MOPS also (slowly) react with TNM but the dialkylaminoalkyl radicals formed from these two buffers undergo further reactions resulting in a rapid, accelerating, free radical chain process whereby the amine is oxidized and TNM reduced. The chemical functionality in any reaction component, not necessarily the buffer, required for this radical chain mechanism is >N-CH<. In the presence of such groups, the quantification of superoxide by TNM is impossible.

Abstract
The involvement of "free" iron in damage caused by oxidative stress is well recognized. Superoxide generated in a short burst and at a relatively high flux by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase couple is known to release iron from ferritin in the presence of phenanthroline derivatives as iron chelators. However, superoxide generation via xanthine oxidase is accompanied by the simultaneous direct generation of hydrogen peroxide and, in the presence of ferritin, there is also a superoxide-independent release of iron. In this study it was found that the iron chelator employed attenuates superoxide formation from the xanthine/xanthine oxidase couple. The reaction of ferritin and transferrin with a clean chemical source of superoxide, di(4-carboxybenzyl)hyponitrite (SOTS-1) was therefore investigated. The efficiency of superoxide-induced iron release from ferritin increases dramatically as the superoxide flux is decreased, reaching as high as 0.5 Fe per O2*-. Treatment of ferritin for 16 h with SOTS-1 yielded as many as 130 Fe atoms/ferritin molecule, which greatly exceeds the amount of possible "contaminating" iron absorbed on the protein shell.

Abstract
Organic amine-based buffer compounds such as HEPES (Good's buffers) are commonly applied in experimental systems, including those where the biological effects of peroxynitrite are studied. In such studies 3-morpholinosydnonimine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1), a compound that simultaneously releases nitric oxide (.NO) and superoxide (O-2), is often used as a source for peroxynitrite. Whereas in mere phosphate buffer H2O2 formation from 1.5 mM SIN-1 was low ( approximately 15 microM), incubation of SIN-1 with Good's buffer compounds resulted in continuous H2O2 formation. After 2 h of incubation of 1.5 mM SIN-1 with 20 mM HEPES about 190 microM H2O2 were formed. The same amount of H2O2 could be achieved from 1.5 mM SIN-1 by action of superoxide dismutase in the absence of HEPES. The increased H2O2 level, however, could not be related to a superoxide dismutase or to a NO scavenger activity of HEPES. On the other hand, SIN-1-mediated oxidation of both dihydrorhodamine 123 and deoxyribose as well as peroxynitrite-dependent nitration of p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid were strongly inhibited by 20 mM HEPES. Furthermore, the peroxynitrite scavenger tryptophan significantly reduced H2O2 formation from SIN-1-HEPES interactions. These observations suggest that peroxynitrite is the initiator for the enhanced formation of H2O2. Likewise, authentic peroxynitrite (1 mM) also induced the formation of both O-2 and H2O2 upon addition to HEPES (400 mM)-containing solutions in a pH (4.5-7.5)-dependent manner. In accordance with previous reports it was found that at pH >/=5 oxygen is released in the decay of peroxynitrite. As a consequence, peroxynitrite(1 mM)-induced H2O2 formation ( approximately 80 microM at pH 7.5) also occurred under hypoxic conditions. In the presence of bicarbonate/carbon dioxide (20 mM/5%) the production of H2O2 from the reaction of HEPES with peroxynitrite was even further stimulated. Addition of SIN-1 or authentic peroxynitrite to solutions of Good's buffers resulted in the formation of piperazine-derived radical cations as detected by ESR spectroscopy. These findings suggest a mechanism for H2O2 formation in which peroxynitrite (or any strong oxidant derived from it) initially oxidizes the tertiary amine buffer compounds in a one-electron step. Subsequent deprotonation and reaction of the intermediate alpha-amino alkyl radicals with molecular oxygen leads to the formation of O-2, from which H2O2 is produced by dismutation. Hence, HEPES and similar organic buffers should be avoided in studies of oxidative compounds. Furthermore, this mechanism of H2O2 formation must be regarded to be a rather general one for biological systems where sufficiently strong oxidants may interact with various biologically relevant amino-type molecules, such as ATP, creatine, or nucleic acids.
