Gallocyanine as a Fluorogen for the Identification of NADPH-Dependent Production of Superoxide Anion Radical by Blood Cells
— The interaction of the oxazine dye gallocyanine with reactive oxygen ( Н 2 О 2 ) and halogen (HOCl) species has been studied by spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, and spectrofluorimetry. It has been shown that gallocyanine reacts with HOCl and (but not with Н 2 О 2 ) to form fluorescent product...

Summary: | —
The interaction of the oxazine dye gallocyanine with reactive oxygen (

О

) and halogen (HOCl) species has been studied by spectrophotometry, mass spectrometry, and spectrofluorimetry. It has been shown that gallocyanine reacts with HOCl and
(but not with Н

О

) to form fluorescent products. It has been found using the inhibition assay that, both in the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system and in activated human blood neutrophils, the main contribution to the conversion of gallocyanine to a fluorophore comes from its reaction with
The results obtained suggest that gallocyanine can act as a fluorogenic chemosensor and be used for estimating the activation of neutrophils and the NADPH-dependent production of superoxide anion radical by neutrophils and other blood cells, as well as for testing antioxidant drugs designed with the aim to correct diseases associated with oxidative stress. |
