Abstract
The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay measures the antioxidant activity of the antioxidants through competitive consumption of peroxyl radicals relative to a fluorescent probe. This study evaluated fluorescein (FLH), eosin Y, and eosin B in ORAC assays using quantum computations. In ORAC-FLH assays, trolox (TRO) and ascorbic acid (ASC) showed fluorescence decay kinetics with a lag time, blocking initial reactions in the quenching cascade. Eosins were more reactive towards peroxyl radicals, making TRO assessment infeasible in ORAC-eosin assays. Quercetin and myricetin exhibited sigmoidal curve drifts proportional to squared and 3/2-ordered incubation times, indicating probabilistic fluorescence decay. Edaravone (EDA) weakly inhibited initial reactions, with accelerated quenching over time. In ORAC-eosin assays, flavonoids and EDA showed indistinguishable behavior due to high eosin reactivity. ORAC-FLH did not significantly assess BHT, though a dose-dependent change in half-life was noted. This study suggests broad applications for ORAC-eosin assays and potential for future comparative research.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
