Antioxidant-prooxidant properties of a new organoselenium compound library

The present study describes the biological evaluation of a library of 59 organoselenium compounds as superoxide (O2-) generators and cytotoxic agents in human prostate cancer cells (PC-3) and in breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7). In orde

Probing the mechanism of electron capture and electron transfer dissociation using tags with variable electron affinity

Electron capture dissociation (ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) of doubly protonated electron affinity (EA)-tuned peptides were studied to further illuminate the mechanism of these processes. The model peptide FQpSEEQQQTEDELQDK, containing a

Electron transfer to sulfides and disulfides: Intrinsic barriers and relationship between heterogeneous and homogeneous electron-transfer kinetics

The electron-acceptor properties of series of related sulfides and disulfides were investigated in N,N-dimethylformamide with homogeneous (redox catalysis) and/or heterogeneous (cyclic voltammetry and convolution analysis) electrochemical techniques. The electron-transfer rate constants were determined as a function of the reaction free energy and the corresponding intrinsic barriers were determined. The dependence of relevant thermodynamic and kinetic parameters on substituents was assessed. The kinetic data were also analyzed in relation to corresponding data pertaining to reduction of diaryl disulfides. All investigated reductions take place by stepwise dissociative electron transfer (DET) which causes cleavage of the Calkyl-S or S-S bond. A generalized picture of how the intrinsic electron-transfer barrier depends on molecular features, ring substituents, and the presence of spacers between the frangible bond and aromatic groups was established. The reduction mechanism was found to undergo a progressive (and now predictable) transition between common stepwise DET and DET proceeding through formation of loose radical anions. The intrinsic barriers were compared with available results for ET to several classes of dissociative- and nondissociative-type acceptors, and this led to verification that the heterogeneous and the homogeneous data correlate as predicted by the Hush theory.

Mechanism of the Solution-Phase Reaction of Alkyl Sulfides Atomic Hydrogen. Reduction via a 9-S-3 Radical Intermediate

The low selectivity of benzyl alkyl sulfide fragmentation subsequent to its reaction with atomic hydrogen is indicative of a reaction that proceeds via an early transition state. The competitive reduction of a series of substituted-benzyl alkyl sulfides was insensitive to the substituent on the aromatic ring (ρ = -0.13, r = 0.99). The relative rates of fragmentation of a series of the substituted-benzyl alkyl sulfides gave a V-shaped Hammett plot. Both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups destabilized the transition state (ρ = +0.99, r = 0.999; ρ = -0.82, r = 0.992). Since the relative rates of disappearance of the alkyl benzyl sulfides are not substituent dependent, but the relative rates of fragmentation are, a 9-S-3 intermediate is preferred as the structure leading to products.

Free-Radical Addition of Alkanethiols to Alkynes. Rearrangements of the Intermediate β-Thiovinyl Radicals

A variety of 2-mercapto-substituted vinyl radicals have been produced through the free-radical reaction of alkanethiols (including phenethyl, allyl, and benzyl mercaptans) with monosubstituted acetylenes in benzene at 90 deg C.The 2-(benzylthio)vinyl radi
