Electrochemical determination of adrenaline at Ru(III) schiff base complex modified carbon electrodes

The anodic oxidation of adrenaline on ruthenium(III) Schiff base complex modified carbon electrodes was used for determination of adrenaline by flow-injection analysis, cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry and hydrodynamic amperometry. The e

Reactivity of adrenaline toward alkoxyl radicals and carbonyl triplet states

The reactivities of adrenaline toward hydrogen abstraction by the tert-butoxyl radical and the excited triplet state of benzophenone have been examined in solution using laser flash photolysis techniques. The rate constants obtained in acetonitrile-rich solvents are 13 and 1.5 × 108 M-1 s-1 for benzophenone triplet and the tert-butoxyl radical, respectively. Adrenaline is a better hydrogen donor than phenol, but not as efficient as α-tocopherol.

Metallo-ROS in Alzheimer's disease: Oxidation of neurotransmitters by CuII-β-amyloid and neuropathology of the disease

A clear mind: The CuII-β-amyloid (Aβ) complex has been shown to exhibit enzyme-like metal-centered oxidative and hydroxylation catalyses. Metal-centered oxidation of various neurotransmitters by CuAβ under biomimetic conditions has verified the bio-relevance of the metal-centered catalyses and is expected to provide a chemical basis for the better understanding of the etiology of Alzheimer's disease. ROS = reactive oxygen species. (Figure Presented).
