A study was made of the effect of the inhibitors ascorbic acid (C), α-tocopherol (E), and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox, T) on the autoxidation of linoleic acid in 0.50 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles at pH 7.0 in phosphate buffer. Reactions were thermally initiated at 30 °C in the SDS micelles by a micelle-soluble initiator, di-tert-butylhyponitrite (DBHN). Although water-soluble C alone is an inefficient inhibitor, when combined with micelle-soluble E, it acts synergistically with the latter to extend the efficient antioxidant action of E beyond the sum of the induction periods of C and E acting separately. Similarly C acts synergistically with the water-soluble antioxidant, T. Quantitative studies of these effects under controlled rates of initiation (Ri,) reveal that C functions to regenerate a mole of E (or T) per mole of C used. Kinetic studies show that the rate of autoxidation is first order in micellar linoleic acid and one-half order in micellar DBHN concentrations. Therefore, the classical rate law, −dO2/dt = kp[R—H] (Ri)1/2/(2k1)1/2 is followed. The higher oxidizability (kp/2kt1/2 = 4.48 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2) of linoleate in micelles compared to that in homogeneous solution in chlorobenzene (kp/2kt1/2 = 2.30 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2) is interpreted in terms of the effect of the polar interfacial region of the micelles on a dipolar transition state, R—OŌ: H•R, of the propagation reaction.

Diffusion studies show that benzophenone (BP), linoleic acid, and methyl linoleate partition completely into the micelles of phosphate buffer/0.10 M SDS. Water-soluble compounds 4-sulphomethylbenzophenone, sodium salt (BP−), azobis(2-amidinopropane•HCl) (ABAP) and 2,5,7,8-tetramethyl-6-hydroxychroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox) show partial partitioning into the micelles. BP- and BP−-photosensitized oxidation of linoleic acid in 0.50 M SDS exhibited characteristics of free radical chain reactions including: (1) inhibition by phenolic antioxidants, (2) no retardation by singlet oxygen quenchers, and (3) the formation of conjugated hydroperoxides with cis,trans to trans,trans ratios of geometrical isomers typical of autoxidation. Quantitative kinetic studies of the order in substrate, RH, and the rate of chain initiation, Ri, show that the classical rate law, −d[O2]/dt = kp/2kt1/2[RH]Ri1/2 applies to BP-photoinitiated autoxidation of linoleic acid in SDS and the oxidizability (kp/2kt1/2 = 4.42 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2) is the same as that found with a thermal initiator. The rotating sector method gave absolute rate constants for linoleic acid autoxidation in 0.50 M SDS for propagation (kp = 36.2 M−1 s−1) and termination (2kt = 3.52 × 105 M−1 s−1), significantly lower than values in polar organic solvents; attributed to solvation of polar peroxyls in aqueous SDS. Depressed inhibition rate constants (kinh) for α-tocopherol, Trolox, and pentamefhylhydroxychroman (PMHC) in 0.50 M SDS compared to kinh in tert-butyl alcohol are attributed to hydrogen bonding effects on the peroxyl radicals and on the inhibitors.

The kinetics of thermally (30 °C) initiated autoxidations of unsaturated lipids, linoleic acid, and methyl linoleate are studied in 0.50 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelles. The rate of chain initiation, R1, was controlled by using known amounts of the thermal initiator, di-tert-butylhyponitrite (DBHN). The initiator efficiency, e, determined by the induction period method with x-tocopherol, was 0.30 for linoleic acid and varied (0.30 to 0.36) for methyl linoleate autoxiation as the concentration of the ester increased. The rate of autoxidation of linoleic acid follows the classical rate law since it is proportional to the substrate concentration and to the square root of chain initiation. The oxidizability of linoleic acid measured in micelles is 4.09 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2. The oxidizability of methyl linoleate varied from 2.37 × 10−2 to 6.92 × 10−2 M−1/2 s−1/2 as the amount of solubilized ester increased. The latter results are indicative of pooling of the ester in the micellar phase. Additions of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid to α-tocopherol-inhibited micellar autoxidations result in very significant extensions of the efficient inhibition period compared to that obtained with α-tocopherol alone. The mechanism of this synergism is briefly discussed.

The kinetics of autoxidation of linoleic acid in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) bilayers were studied at 30 °C and pH 7 under 760 Torr O2. Reactions were initiated using either the lipid-soluble di-tert-butylhyponitrite (DBHN) or water-soluble azobis(2-amidinopropane)•HCl (ABAP). Rates of chain initiation, Ri, were measured with a lipid-soluble antioxidant, a-tocopherol, or a water-soluble one, 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox). The slightly higher oxidizability obtained [Formula: see text] compared to methyl linoleate in chlorobenzene [Formula: see text] is attributed to a moderate polar solvent effect on ionized linoleate near the bilayer surface. A low initiator efficiency, e = 0.0895 for DBHN in DMPC, is attributed to the cage effect in the bilayer of high microviscosity. Similar autoxidation experiments on methyl linoleate in DMPC bilayers gave a lower oxidizability [Formula: see text], indicating that the ester is sequestered deeper in the hydrophobic region of DMPC than is ionized linoleate. Some absolute rate constants are determined using the rotating sector technique for linoleic acid in 0.50 M SDS micelles, and egg lecithin and dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC) bilayers. A hundredfold decrease in the termination rate constant, 2kt for DLPC bilayer compared to homogeneous solution is attributed to chain termination in a bilayer region of high polarity. A concomitant reduction (up to tenfold) in the propagation rate constant, kp, is attributed to diffusion of polar peroxyl radicals away from the oxidizable region of the bilayer.

Reduction of human thyroid membranes with dithiothreitol caused the release of a water-soluble glycoprotein which neutralized the thyrotropin (TSH) receptor-binding and thyroid-stimulating activities of Graves‘ serum. Analysis of the protein by gel filtration and sucrose density gradient centrifugation allowed estimates of 3.45 nm for the Stokes’ radius, 3.6 S for the s20,w and 47 000 +/- 5000 (mean +/- S.D.; n = 4) for the Mr. The material released by dithiothreitol treatment could be crosslinked to 125I-labelled TSH coupled to N-hydroxysuccinimidyl 4-azidobenzoate (125I-HSAB-TSH), suggesting that it contained a component of the TSH receptor. Furthermore, analysis of the crosslinked material by sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis indicated that it contained the TSH receptor A subunit (Mr 50 000). Several factors suggested therefore that the glycoprotein released by dithiothreitol treatment of human thyroid membranes was the TSH receptor A subunit. In particular, (a) both preparations were hydrophilic and were released from membranes by reduction, (b) they had similar Mr values and (c) both preparations crosslinked to 125I-HSAB-TSH. Material similar to the TSH receptor A subunit was released from thyroid membranes by treatment with papain, probably as a result of cleavage of the receptor A subunit at a site close to the interchain disulphide bridge. A similar mechanism, involving thyroid proteinases, was probably involved in release of material with similar properties to the TSH receptor A subunit during freezing and thawing of human thyroid homogenates.

The research study discussed in the paper investigated the adsorption/desorption behaviour of heavy metals commonly deposited on urban road surfaces, namely, Zn, Cu, Cr and Pb, for different particle size ranges of solids. The study outcomes, based on field studies and batch experiments, confirmed that road deposited solids particles contain a significantly high amount of vacant charge sites with the potential to adsorb additional heavy metals. Kinetic studies and adsorption experiments indicated that Cr is the most preferred metal element to associate with solids due to the relatively high electronegativity and high charge density of trivalent cation (Cr3+). However, the relatively low availability of Cr in the urban road environment could influence this behaviour. Comparing total adsorbed metals present in solids particles, it was found that Zn has the highest capacity for adsorption to solids. Desorption experiments confirmed that a low concentration of Cu, Cr and Pb in solids was present in water-soluble and exchangeable form, whilst a significant fraction of adsorbed Zn has a high likelihood of being released back into solution. Among heavy metals, Zn is considered to be the most commonly available metal among road surface pollutants.

Freeze-drying was evaluated as a production technique for co-amorphous systems of a poorly water-soluble drug. Naproxen was freeze-dried together with arginine and lysine as co-former. To increase the solubility of naproxen in the starting solution, the applicability of five surfactants was investigated, namely sodium dodecyl sulfate, pluronic F-127, polyoxyethylene (40) stearate, tween 20 and TPGS 1000. The influence of the surfactant type, surfactant concentration and total solid content to be freeze-dried on the solid state of the sample was investigated. X-ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry showed that the majority of systems formed co-amorphous one-phase systems. However, at higher surfactant concentrations, and depending on the surfactant type, surfactant reflections were observed in the XRPD analysis upon production. Crystallization of both naproxen and amino acid occurred from some combinations under storage. In conclusion, freeze-drying was shown to be a feasible technique for the production of a selection of co-amorphous drug–amino acid formulations.

3,5-Di-tert-butyl-ortho-quinone, 6, and 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-2-(2-methoxyphenoxy)-1-propanone, 7, models for oxidized lignin and for lignin, were used as sensitizers of photo-oxidation. Product studies by HPLC from oxidation of methyl linoleate in solution sensitized by 6 or 7, and in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) sensitized by 6, showed a product distribution of six hydroperoxides, the four conjugated 9- and 13-hydroperoxides of the geometrical isomers: trans-10, cis-12 (2), cis-9, trans-11 (3), trans-10, trans-12 (4), and trans-9, trans-11 (5)-octadecadienoates plus two nonconjugated hydroperoxides. The higher cis/trans to trans/trans (ct/tt) of geometrical isomers (2 + 3//4 + 5) compared to ct/tt from known thermal free-radical peroxidations (Type 1) indicate that singlet oxygen (Type 2) oxidation occurs in reactions sensitized by 6 or 7. Kinetic studies by oxygen uptake are reported on oxidations of hydrocarbons 1-phenyl-2-methylpropene,8, and trans-stilbene,9, sensitized by the quinone, 6, or by a dye, Rose Bengal. Quenching studies imply singlet oxygen reactions. Milled wood lignin undergoes self-initiated photo-oxidation in water, and oxygen uptake was quenched by sodium azide. Cellobiose, a cellulose model, undergoes sensitized photo-oxidation using model quinone, 6, in a mixture of tert-butyl alcohol and water or using the sensitizers benzophenone or the lignin model, 7, delivered on a solid support, silica gel, and these oxidations were quenched with sodium azide. These results implicate singlet oxygen in the photo-yellowing of high lignin content wood pulps.Key words: lignin models, ortho-quinone, photo-oxidation, singlet oxygen, lignin, cellobiose.
