Singlet oxygen-mediated photooxidation and subsequent triplet oxygen insertion of 11-hydro-13-(methyloxy)carbonylartemisinate (4) yielded a diketo compound 5 as the major product instead of the expected 11-hydro-13-(methyloxy)carbonylartemisinin (6). The formation of the unexpected product was in part consistent with the mechanism proposed by Acton and Roth and is the first isolation of the diketo compound from the photooxidation of artemisinate.

To detect superoxide anion ($O_2{\cdot}^-$) or singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) in biological systems during gamma irradiation, specific chemical probes, 4,5-dihydroxy-1,3-benzene disulfonic acid (Tiron) or 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (TEMP), were evaluated. Tiron or TEMP spin adducts was structurally stable in aqueous solution during gamma irradiation up to 500 or 1,000 Gy, respectively. The signal of Tiron semiquinone radical, a spin adduct of Tiron upon reaction with $O_2{\cdot}^-$, was slightly increased by gamma irradiation. This trend was dose-dependently manifested in $O_2$-saturated aqueous solution using nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT), a common probe for both hydrated electron ($e{^-}_{aq}$) and $O_2{\cdot}^-$. In contrast, a spin adduct of TEMP, was never inducible by gamma irradiation, while its signal was substantially enhanced by photosensitization of riboflavin. These results suggest that Tiron and NBT or TEMP could be utilized to detect $O_2{\cdot}^-$ or $^1O_2$ in biological systems during gamma irradiation, although $O_2{\cdot}^-$ or $^1O_2$ are not the main reactive oxygen species produced by water radiolysis.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a medical treatment using laser and photosensitizing drug taken up to destroy cancer cells. Singlet oxygen ($^1$0$_2$) generation is strongly related to this treatment. We have built a direct detection system monitoring feeble luminescence, in the near IR region, from $^1$0$_2$, We have comparatively studied the photophysical and photochemical properties in solution of a newly developed drug ATX-S10 and Photofrin already investigated clinically. We demonstrdted that ATX-S10 was capable of efficiently yielding $^1$0$_2$, which may lead to highly efficient PDT treatment. Successive laser excitation photobleached ATX -S10 readily in a dose-dependent manner. This result shows that ATX -S10 is useful in setting up suitable medical treatment conditions to minimize side effects.

We studied to determine quantitatively the radical species generated from humic acid (HA) solutions by irradiation(>400 mn). The formation of radical species from HA solutions was investigated with ESR spectroscopy. We gave ESR spectrum with g-value 2.0048 and line width 0.559mT, coincided with those of the semiquinone radical. 0.1 mg/L HA solution generated the radicals of $1.2{\times}10^{-6}M$, increased with increasing HA concentration. Also, pH and ionic strength effect of the amount of the semiquinone radical generate from HA solution. In this study, we have found that the singlet oxygen affects the semiquinone radicals generation in HA solution.

빌리루빈의 경우와 같이 옥소디피로메텐도 자체증감작용으로 생긴 단일상태 산소와 반응하여 광분해 하였다. 단일상태 산소의 수명이 각각 다른 용매에서 시험한 결과, 수명이 더 긴 용매에서 옥소디피로메텐의 공산화반응이 빨랐으며, 단일상태 산소의 켄칭제가 존재하는데서는 광반응이 느렸다. 더우기, 증감제를 사용하지 않은 반응에서 생성물이 증감제를 사용한 반응에서 생성물과 같았다.

내분비교란물질인 BPA는 식품의 포장용기나 젖병 등의 제조에 이용되며, 라이보플라빈 광산화에 의해 안정성이 감소하는 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 광산화 시 메틸렌블루, 로즈벵갈, 라이보플라빈, 또는 이산화티타늄 등의 감광제 종류에 따른 BPA안정성을 비교하였고, sodium azide($NaN_3$) 농도에 따른 BPA안정성을 확인하였다. BPA 농도는 라이보플라빈, 로즈벵갈, 메틸렌블루 순서로 유의적으로 감소하였지만(p<0.05), 이산화티타늄 첨가 시료와 대조구인 감광제 무첨가군의 BPA 농도는 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). BPA의 안정성은 메틸렌블루 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, $NaN_3$ 농도가 증가할수록 BPA 안정성은 증가하였다. 이는 메틸렌블루 광산화에 의한 BPA농도 감소에 일중항산소가 관여함을 의미한다.

To examine the microenvironmental effect of DNA on the photosensitized reaction, the electron-donor-connecting porphyrin, meso-(9-phenanthryl)-tris(N-methyl-p-pyridinio) porphyrin (Phen-TMPyP), was synthesized. Phen-TMPyP can bind to oligonucleotides with two binding modes, depending on the DNA concentration. The fluorescence lifetime measurement of Phen-TMPyP shows a shorter component than that of the reference porphyrin without the phenanthryl moiety. However, the observed value is much longer than those of previously reported similar types of electron-donor-connecting porphyrins, suggesting that electron-transfer quenching by the phenanthryl moiety is not sufficient. The fluorescence quantum yield of Phen-TMPyP ($5{\mu}M$) decreased with an increase in DNA concentration of up to $5{\mu}M$ base pair (bp), possibly due to self-quenching through an aggregation along the DNA strand, increased with an increase in DNA concentration of more than $5{\mu}M$ bp and reached a plateau. The fluorescence quantum yield of Phen-TMPyP with a sufficient concentration of DNA was larger than that of the reference porphyrin. The singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) generating activity of Phen-TMPyP was confirmed by the near-infrared emission spectrum measurement. The quantum yield of $^1O_2$ generation was decreased by a relatively small concentration of DNA, possibly due to the aggregation of Phen-TMPyP, and recovered with a sufficient concentration of DNA. The recovered quantum yield was rather smaller than that without DNA, indicating the quenching of $^1O_2$ by DNA. These results show that a DNA strand can stabilize the photoexcited state of a photosensitizer and, in a certain case, suppresses the $^1O_2$ generation.
