CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 361:142435. [PMID: 38797213 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
An alternative metric to account for particulate matter (PM) composition-based toxicity is the ability of PM-species to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants, the so-called oxidative potential (OP). Acellular OP assays are the most used worldwide, mainly those based on ascorbic acid (AA) and dithiothreitol (DTT) depletion; OP values are calculated from AA/DTT concentration over time kinetic curves. Since a great variability in OP-DTT and OP-AA values can be found in the literature, the understanding of those factors affecting the kinetic rate of AA and DTT oxidation in the presence of PM-bound species will improve the interpretation of OP values. In this work, a kinetic study of the oxidation rate of AA and DTT driven by species usually found in PM (transition metals and naphthoquinone (NQ)) was carried out. In particular, the influence of the concentration of Cu(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Mn(III), and 1,4-NQ, and the type of fluid used in the assay (phosphate buffer (PB), phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and artificial lysosomal fluid (ALF)) is analysed and discussed. The reaction orders with respect to the AA/DTT and the active compound, and the kinetic rate constants were also determined. The results show great variability in OP values among the studied species depending on the fluid used; the OP values were mostly higher in PB0.05 M, followed by PBS1x and ALF. Moreover, different species concentration-responses for OP-DTT/OP-AA were obtained. These differences were explained by the different reaction orders and kinetic rate constants obtained for each active compound in each fluid.

Effects of Dielectric Barrier on Water Activation and Phosphorus Compound Digestion in Gas-Liquid Discharges. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 14:40. [PMID: 38202495 PMCID: PMC10780582 DOI: 10.3390/nano14010040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 12/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
To generate a stable and effective air-liquid discharge in an open atmosphere, we investigated the effect of the dielectric barrier on the discharge between the pin electrode and liquid surface in an atmospheric-pressure plasma reactor. The atmospheric-pressure plasma reactor used in this study was based on a pin-plate discharge structure, and a metal wire was used as a pin-type power electrode. A plate-type ground electrode was placed above and below the vessel to compare the pin-liquid discharge and pin-liquid barrier discharge (PLBD). The results indicated that the PLBD configuration utilizing the bottom of the vessel as a dielectric barrier outperformed the pin-liquid setup in terms of the discharge stability and that the concentration of reactive species was different in the two plasma modes. PLBD can be used as a digestion technique for determining the phosphorus concentration in natural water sources. The method for decomposing phosphorus compounds by employing PLBD exhibited excellent decomposition performance, similar to the performance of thermochemical digestion-an established conventional method for phosphorus detection in water. The PLBD structure can replace the conventional chemical-agent-based digestion method for determining the total dissolved phosphorus concentration using the ascorbic acid reduction method.

Abstract
Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the body's ability to neutralize them. ROS are reactive molecules generated during cellular metabolism and play a crucial role in normal physiological processes. However, excessive ROS production can lead to oxidative damage, contributing to various diseases and aging. This study is focused on rosmarinic acid (RA), a hydroxycinnamic acid (HCA) derivative well known for its antioxidant activity. In addition, RA has also demonstrated prooxidant behavior under specific conditions involving high concentrations of transition metal ions such as iron and copper, high pH, and the presence of oxygen. In this study, we aim to clarify the underlying mechanisms and factors governing the antioxidant and prooxidant activities of RA, and to compare them with other HCA derivatives. UV-Vis, NMR, and EPR techniques were used to explore copper(II)'s binding ability of RA, caffeic acid, and p-coumaric acid. At the same time, UV-Vis and NMR methods were exploited to evaluate the polyphenols' free radical scavenging abilities towards ROS generated by the ascorbic acid-copper(II) system. All the data indicate that RA is the most effective polyphenol both in copper binding abilities and ROS protection.
