Thermal Decomposition of Phospholipid Secondary Ozonides: Implications for the Toxicity of Inhaled Ozone

Abstract: While inhalation of ozone is known to cause a variety of health effects, the reactions at a molecular level that lead to these effects are not well understood. One potential path is the reaction of ozone with the unsaturated fatty acid components of pulmonary surfactant at the air-water interface in the lung to form secondary ozonides. These have been proposed to decompose to free radicals, which can then initiate the well-known inflammatory response. We report here the first kinetic studies of the thermal dec… Show more

“…Given that the structure of the m/ z 225 ion is ambiguous, we refer to it here (and in similar instances) as the “Criegee ion.” These ions may form via either the biradical mechanism (Scheme 2b) or by cycloreversion of the secondary ozonide (Scheme 2h). Both of these fragments are well known decomposition products of lipid secondary ozonides [20, 34]. …”

“…It is possible that activation of secondary ozonides, either thermally or by photolysis, can facilitate their decomposition into a number of lower mass components. Several studies have investigated the thermal decomposition of secondary ozonides in both the gas-phase and solution-phase, and in all cases aldehydes and carboxylic acids are observed as major products [2025]. Studies by Hull et al [22] and Khachatryan et al [23] have provided evidence for a radical mechanism leading to the formation of aldehydes and carboxylic acids.…”
