Time-Resolved Spectroscopic Studies of the Photochemistry of Riboflavin, Aromatic N-Oxides and the Absolute Reactivity of Hydroxyl Radical TIME-RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPIC STUDIES OF THE PHOTOCHEMISTRY OF RIBOFLAVIN, AROMATIC N-OXIDES AND THE ABSOLUTE REACTIVITY OF HYDROXYL RADICAL DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Xiaofeng Shi, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Matthew S. Platz, Advisor Professor Christopher M. Hadad _________________________________ Professor Dennis E. T. Bong Advisor Graduate Program in Chemistry Professor Thomas R. Lemberger ABSTRACT Both nanosecond and ultrafast laser flash photolysis with UV-visible and infrared detection were used to observe the transient species generated photochemically from a number of photosensitizers. The reactions of these transient species were monitored spectroscopically with the aid of theoretical computation. In the study of photochemical reactions of riboflavin and nucleosides, it was found that triplet riboflavin can be quenched by a silylated guanosine derivative with a rate constant of 1.0 × 108 M-1 s-1. TRIR spectroscopy demonstrated that a hydroflavin radical is formed by an electron transfer-proton transfer mechanism. This sequential electron transfer-proton transfer between triplet riboflavin and guanosine derivative provides the direct observation of the photoinduced oxidative damage of riboflavin to the DNA nucleobase. The triplet states of isoquinoline N-oxide and benzocinnoline N-oxide react sluggishly with electron, proton and hydrogen atom donors. These triplets will react with hydroquinone by hydrogen atom transfer (proton coupled electron transfer). Triplet 4- nitroquinoline N-oxide reacts readily with electron donors to from the radical anions as previously reported. The radical anion is protonated on the oxygen atom of the N-oxide ii group to from a neutral radical. The three N-oxides of this study are not expected to serve as photochemical sources of hydroxyl radical. Singlet states of tirapazamine and desoxytirapazamine were identified by picosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy. The lifetimes of the S1 states and fluorescence quantum yields of aromatic N-oxides were found to be controlled by reversible cyclization to an oxaziridine. The S1 states of TPZ and dTPZ are reduced to radical anions by KSCN, KI and NaN3. Using LFP-based methodology, we have determined the rate coefficients for the reaction of hydroxyl radical with a number of monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in acetonitrile. We observed the reactivities of hydroxyl radical in acetonitrile. For simple aromatic hydrocarbons, the predominant reaction pathway in acetonitrile is the addition of the hydroxyl radical to the aromatic ring, rather than hydrogen-atom abstraction from the phenyl or benzylic C-H positions. Structure- reactivity analysis, based upon frontier molecular orbital and state correlation models indicate that charge-transfer interactions between hydroxyl radical and a given arene play an important role in the stabilization of the transition state for the reaction α-Alkoxy and hydroxy radicals were generated through thermal and photochemical reactions. Both the product analysis of the thermal reaction and the direct observation of the transient species involved suggest that α-hydroxy radical can very efficiently react with TPZ to form the TPZ-H radical, probably through a direct hydrogen atom exchange between TPZ and ketyl radicals. α-Alkoxy radicals can not proceed through this mechanism. iii Dedicated to My Family iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor Matthew Platz, for his guidance, support and encouragement.

  • (TPZ) Prodrugs for the Management of Hypoxic Solid Tumors by Sindhuja
    Evaluation of bioreductively-activated Tirapazamine (TPZ) prodrugs for the management of hypoxic solid tumors by Sindhuja Pattabhi Raman A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Cancer Sciences Department of Oncology University of Alberta © Sindhuja Pattabhi Raman, 2019 Abstract Solid tumors often have large areas with low levels of oxygen (termed hypoxic regions), which are associated with poor prognosis and treatment response. Tirapazamine (TPZ), a hypoxia targeting anticancer drug, started as a promising candidate to deal with this issue. However, it was withdrawn from the clinic due to severe neurotoxic side effects and poor target delivery. Hypoxic cells overexpress glucose transporters (GLUT) - a key feature during hypoxic tumor progression. Our project aims at conjugating TPZ with glucose to exploit the upregulated GLUTs for its delivery, and thereby facilitate the therapeutic management of hypoxic tumors. We hypothesized that glucose-conjugated TPZ (G6-TPZ) would be selectively recruited to these receptors, facilitating its entrapment in poorly oxygenated cells only, with minimal damage to their oxygenated counterparts. However, our results reveal that the addition of the glucose moiety to TPZ was counterproductive since G6-TPZ displayed selective hypoxic cytotoxicity only at very high concentrations of the compound. We speculate that the reduced cytotoxicity of G6-TPZ might be due to the fact that the compound was not taken up by the cells. In order to monitor the cellular uptake of TPZ, we developed a click chemistry-based approach by incorporating an azido (N3) group to our parent compound (N3-TPZ). We observed that the azido-conjugated TPZ was highly hypoxia selective and the compound successfully tracks cellular hypoxia.

OR poisoning is characterized by severe oliguric acute renal failure, with a mortality rate of 10%–30%. Diagnosis of OR poisoning currently hinges on a history of ingestion of Cortinarius mushrooms and histopathology of renal biopsies. A key step in the diagnostic approach is analysis of tissues for OR. Currently, tissue-based analytical methods for OR are nonspecific and lack sensitivity. The objectives of this study were: (1) to develop definitive HPLC and LC-MS/MS tissue-based analytical methods for OR; and (2) to investigate toxicological effects of OR in mice.

ABSTRACT Cortinarius orellanus (Fries) and C. rubellus (Cooke), which were formerly also known as C. speciosissimus, are poi- sonous mushrooms containing the toxin orellanine and several degradation products of orellanine, including orelline and orellinine. Mass intoxication by poisonous mushrooms was observed in Poland in 1952-1957 [1]. In 1957, the cause of these outbreaks was described by Grzymala as poisoning by a member of the Cortinarius family. The toxin orellanine was first isolated from C. orellanus by Grzymala in 1962; the chemical structure of orellanine was later de- termined to be 3,3,4,4-tetrahydroxy-2,2-bipyridine-N,N-dioxide. Poisoning with C. orellanus and C. rubellus has a very specific character. The first symptoms of intoxication usually do not appear until 2 - 3 days after ingestion, but in some cases intoxication appears after three weeks.

The role of free radicals in the effectiveness of anti-cancer chemotherapy in hypoxic ovarian cells and tumours Clifford W. Fong Eigenenergy, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Email: [email protected] Keywords: ovarian cancer; cytotoxicity; hypoxia; anoxia; normoxia; free radicals; electron affinity; Abstract It has been shown that strong linear relationships exist between the hypoxic and anoxic cytotoxicity ratios for the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell lines and the adiabatic electron affinity for 17 currently clinically used or subclinical anti-cancer drugs. A similar linear relationship is also found for the cytotoxicity ratios under normoxia, but the effect is the opposite to those found for anoxia and hypoxia.
