Sonolysis of argon-saturated aqueous antitumor quinone solutions resulted in an enhancement in ferricytochrome c (Cyt c) reduction. Partial inhibition of these reduction enhancements by addition of superoxide dismutase evidences the production of superoxide ions. No correlation between quinone hydrophobicity or redox potential is observed in the extent of Cyt c reduction. The semiquinone of the parent quinone as well as other quinone-derived reductants are proposed as the electron shuttle intermediates which reduce Cyt c.
对氩气饱和的抗肿瘤醌类水溶液进行超声处理,可增强高铁细胞色素c(Cyt c)的还原作用。添加超氧化物歧化酶可部分抑制这些还原增强作用,这证明了超氧离子的产生。在Cyt c还原程度方面,未观察到醌类疏水性或氧化还原电位之间的相关性。母体醌的半醌以及其他醌衍生的还原剂被认为是还原Cyt c的电子穿梭中间体。
