Abstract

Using pulse radiolysis and laser flash photolysis, we have investigated the reactions of the deleterious species, e(aq), HO·, O· and O(Δ(g)) with 10 water-soluble cyclopropyl-fused C derivatives including a mono-adduct dendro[60]fullerene (d) and C derivatives based on C[C(COOH)](n = 2-6), some of which are known to be neuroprotective in vivo. The rate constants for reactions of e(aq) and HO· lie in the range 0.5-3.3 x 10 M s. The d and bis-adduct monoanion radicals display sharp absorption peaks around 1000 nm (ε = 7 000-11 500 M cm); the anions of the tris-, tetra-, and penta-adduct derivatives have broader, weaker absorptions. The monohydroxylated radicals have their most intense absorption maxima around 390-440 nm (ε = 1000-3000 M cm). The anion and hydroxylated radical absorption spectra display a blue-shift as the number of addends increases. The radical anions react with oxygen (k ~ 10-10 M s). The reaction of O· with the C derivatives does not occur via an electron transfer. The rate constants for singlet oxygen reaction with the dendrofullerene and eee-derivative in DO at pH 7.4 are k ~ 7 x 10 and ~ 2 x 10 M s respectively, in contrast to ~ 1.2 x 10 M s for the reaction with C in CD. The large acceleration of the rates for electron reduction and singlet oxygen reactions in water is due to a solvophobic process. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.
