摘要: Abstract The “photo-Fenton” reagent, 2-mercaptopyridine N-oxide (MPO), which releases a hydroxyl radical on ultraviolet irradiation, has been found to act as an antioxidant. In the peroxidation of linoleate initiated by water-soluble azo-initiator, MPO about one-third activity vitamin E analogue Trolox C. contrast, oxygen-containing analogue, 2-hydroxypyridine (HPO), does not have measurable antioxidant in this system. Both reagents react with second order rate constants very close diffusion-controlled limit. With less oxidising dithiocyanate anion, reacts approximately 50 times more rapidly than HPO at pH>7. reducing properties result its and make it suitable source radicals for investigation oxidative stress biological systems.
