Desenvolvimento de microcélula eletroquímica para estudos de microrregiões

DEVELOPMENT of AN ELECTROCHEMICAL MICROCELL FOR STUDIES of MICRO REGIONS. The construction and optimization of a device that can be applied to electrochemical studies in flat micro regions are described. This was developed as an attempt to study small regions of metallic samples, whose properties may differ completely from its macroscopic behavior and for studies in highly resistive medium. Some results were obtained for individual grains of polycrystalline samples, welded regions, pure copper, platinum, glassy carbon, single crystals of Cu-Zn-Al alloy, and steel in biodiesel without electrolyte intentionally added. The device showed to be useful for the proposed purpose, allowing to be automated and has potential possibilities of other applications.

Electrochemical evaluation of lipophilic antioxidants from Iryanthera juruensis fruits (Myristicaceae)

Testes em placas de CCDC reveladas com solução de beta-caroteno mostraram a presença de duas substâncias com propriedades antioxidantes no extrato hexânico. Elas foram isoladas e identificadas como 3-metil-sargacromenol (1) and sargacromenol (2). O extrato hexânico forneceu ainda o ácido 3-metil-sargaquinóico (3) e o ácido sargaquinóico (4). O comportamento eletroquímico destas substâncias foi investigado em CH2Cl2/Bu4NBF4 sobre eletrodo de carbono vítreo. A oxidação do grupo fenólico nos tocotrienóis 1 and 2 é responsável por um pico anódico em potenciais de +0.23V e +0.32V, os quais são correlacionados com sua atividade antioxidante. O mecanismo de oxidação é comparado com o comportamento eletroquímico do antioxidante alfa-tocopherol.

Fast Screening for Antioxidant Properties of Flavonoids from Pterogyne nitens Using Electrochemical Methods

A fast, low-cost, convenient, and especially sensitive voltammetric screening approach for the study of the antioxidant properties of isoquercitrin and pedalitin from Pterogyne nitens is suggested in this work. These flavonoids were investigated for their redox properties using cyclic voltammetry in nonaqueous media using N,N-dimethylformamide and tetrabutylammonium tetrafluorborate as the supporting electrolyte, a glassy carbon working electrode, AglAgCl reference electrode, and Pt bare wire counter electrode. The comparative analysis of the activity of rutin has also been carried out. Moreover, combining HPLC with an electrochemical detector allowed qualitative and quantitative detection of micromolecules (e.g., isoquercitrin and pedalitin) that showed antioxidant activities. These results were then correlated to the inhibition of p-carotene bleaching determined by TLC autographic assay and to structural features of the flavonoids.
