Mechanism of reaction of nitrogen dioxide radical with hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives: A pulse radiolysis study

Abstract: Nitrogen dioxide radical (NO2.) is known as a toxic agent produced in the metabolism of nitrates and nitrites. By the use of the pulse radiolysis technique, the mechanism of the reaction of NO2. radical with hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (HCA) was studied and the rate constants have been measured. The rate constants were found to be 7.4 x 10(8), 7.2 x 10(8), 8.6 x 10(8) dm3 mol(-1) s(-1) for ferulic acid, sinapic acid and caffeic acid, respectively. The reactions produce the corresponding phenoxyl radical.

“…Monohydroxy phenolics (monophenolics such as p ‐CA) and polyhydroxy phenolics (polyphenolics such as caffeic acid or chlorogenic acid) display different scavenging mechanisms against RNS [17,32,35]. Monophenolics, which are less efficient antioxidants than polyphenolics [49], can remove ONOO − (or NO 2 • ) without nitrite production reaction [35].…”

“…Monophenolics, which are less efficient antioxidants than polyphenolics [49], can remove ONOO − (or NO 2 • ) without nitrite production reaction [35]. In contrast, nitrite can be produced as the result of reductive destruction of ONOO − (or NO 2 • ) by antioxidant polyphenolics [32]. Although its toxicity is lower than ONOO − , nitrite is still a potential cytotoxin for both plants and animals.…”

“…The complexity of the mixture formed is further illustrated by the observation that the NO 2 radical reacts fast with caffeic acid (k =8.6×10 8 M − 1 .s − 1 ) yielding the o-semiquinone radical [53]. However, this reaction is not likely to contribute in a great extent to the phenol radical formation in our experiments in view of the competition of NO 2 radical with nitrite at microM level for caffeic acid and, also, because HNO 2 used in reaction 2, spontaneously yielding NO 2 radical, will be displaced by reaction 6 with caffeic acid.…”

“…In fact, the MS/MS characterization of the obtained product of the reaction of phenol toward NO 2 ● gave a molecular ion of 139.1, corresponding to a mono‐nitrophenol derivative. The formation of such product can be attributed to a hydrogen atom transfer from the phenol group to the NO 2 ● (Reaction , followed by a rearrangement and reaction with another NO 2 ● molecule. This initial step can involve NO 2 ● or HONO but cannot be due to a NO–phenol adduct (molecular mass 123).…”
