SeGPX activity of three organoselenium-containing cyclodextrins and their scavenging effects on HO center dot

Three organoselenium-containing derivatives of beta-cyclodextrins (beta-CD), mono-6-benzylseleno-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrin (compound 1), 6,6'-trimethylenediseleno bridged beta-cyclodextrin dimer(compound 2) and 6,6'- (o-phenylene)diseleno bridged beta-cyclodextrin dimer (compound 3) functioned as mimics of selenium-containing glutathione peroxidase(SeGPX). Acting on H2O2 and GSH, the SeGPX activities of these compounds were 0.83-, 0.26-, and 1. 23-fold of that of Ebselen (0.99 U/mu mol), respectively. The relationship between the structure and the function of these compounds was studied. The results suggested that the hydrophobicity and rigidity of phenyl group is the main reason that accounted for the higher activity of compounds 3 and 1. Phenyl group not only provided the hydrophobic circumstance which is necessary for the catalytic function of selenium, but also make it possible that the cyclodextrin unit of compounds 1 and 3 combines the substrate with a more effective direction. Fluorometric techniques were utilized to determine the yields of the hydroxyl radical produced by Fenton reactions through the formation of hydroxy benzoic acids from benzoate. Compared with Ebselen which showed a significant inhibition effect on the formation of HO., these organoselenium-containing cyclodextrins showed a little scavenging effect on the formation of HO. throughout the whole process.

In this paper the origin of nonlinearities of the K[B5O6(OH)(4)].2H(2)O(KB5) crystal has been investigated from a comprehensive view-point by using the bond-valence theory of complex crystals. The results of the calculation (d(31) = -1.18 X 10(-10) esu, d(32) = 0.20 X 10(-10) and d(33) = -1.03 X 10(-9) esu) are in good agreement with experimental data. For the first time we pointed out that its nonlinearities come from the H(2)-O(2) bonds and the [B5O6(OH)(4)](-) group, and estimated its larger nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficient d(33).
