Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species during the Photolysis of 6-(Hydroxymethyl)pterin in Alkaline Aqueous Solutions
Photochemical studies of the reactivity of 6-(hydroxymethyl)pterin (=2-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)pteridin-4(1H)-one; HPT) in alkaline aqueous solutions (pH 10.2-10.8) at 350 nm and room temperature were performed. The photochemical reactions were followed by UV/VIS spectrophotometry, thin-layer chromat...

In the absence of O2, we observed a compound with an absorbance maximum at 480 nm, which was oxidized very rapidly by O 2 in a dark reaction to yield FPT. The quantum yields of substrates disappearance and of photoproducts formation were determined. The formation of H2O2 during photooxidation was monitored, and the number of mol of H2O2 released per mol of HPT consumed corresponded to a 1: 1 stoichiometry. HPT was also investigated for efficiency of singlet-oxygen (1O2) production and quenching in aqueous solution. The quantum yield of 1O2 production (ΦΔ = 0.21 ± 0.01) was determined by measurements of the 1O2 luminescence in the near-IR (1270 nm) upon continuous excitation of the sensitizer. The rate constant of 1O 2 total quenching by HPT was determined (kt = 3.1 · 106 M-1 s-1), indicating that this compound was able to quench 1O2. However, 1O2 did not participate in the photooxidation of HPT to FPT. Fil:Erra-Balsells, R. Universidad de Buenos Aires.
