We have determined and quantified spectrophotometrically the capacity of producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) as 1O2 during the photolysis with UV-A light of 5 new synthesized naphthyl ester derivates of well-known quinolone antibacterials (nalidixic acid (1), cinoxacin (2), norfloxacin (3), ciprofloxacin (4) and enoxacin (5)). The ability of the naphthyl ester derivatives (6-10) to generate singlet oxygen were detecting and for the first time quantified by the histidine assay, a sensitive, fast and inexpensive method. The following tendency of generation of singlet oxygen was observed: compounds 7 >10 > 6 > 8 > 9 >> parent drugs 1-5.

ABSTRACTFluorescent proteins can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon absorption of photons via type I and II photosensitization mechanisms. The red fluorescent proteins KillerRed and SuperNova are phototoxic proteins engineered to generate ROS and are used in a variety of biological applications. However, their relative quantum yields and rates of ROS production are unclear, which has limited the interpretation of their effects when used in biological systems. We cloned and purified KillerRed, SuperNova, and mCherry - a related red fluorescent protein not typically considered a photosensitizer - and measured the superoxide (O2•-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) quantum yields with irradiation at 561 nm. The formation of the O2•--specific product 2-hydroxyethidium (2-OHE+) was quantified via HPLC separation with fluorescence detection. Relative to a reference photosensitizer, Rose Bengal, the O2•- quantum yield (ΦO2•-) of SuperNova was determined to be 0.00150, KillerRed was 0.00097, and mCherry 0.00120. At an excitation fluence of 916.5 J/cm2 and matched absorption at 561 nm, SuperNova, KillerRed and mCherry made 3.81, 2.38 and 1.65 μM O2•-/min, respectively. Using the probe Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG), we ascertained the 1O2 quantum yield (Φ1O2) for SuperNova to be 0.0220, KillerRed 0.0076, and mCherry 0.0057. These photosensitization characteristics of SuperNova, KillerRed and mCherry improve our understanding of fluorescent proteins and are pertinent for refining their use as tools to advance our knowledge of redox biology.GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Antioxidant Effects

To analyze the antioxidant effects of cacalol we determined its reactivity with different reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cacalol gave rise to cacalone by a specific site reaction with a hydroxyl radical. Singlet oxygen reacted only with the double bond of the furan ring, causing its rupture. On the other hand, ozone reacted with all double bonds in cacalol affording 2-methyl-hexanedioic acid as an end product. No reaction was observed with either superoxide or hydrogen peroxide. The potential antioxidant effect of cacalol as a scavenger of hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen could be related to its function in the plant roots.
