Comparison of antiaggregation capacity of N-chloramine acids with different position of the chloramine group in the molecule showed that in the most efficient compounds the distance between the chloramine and carboxyl groups was 3-5 carbon atoms. This feature of antiaggregation activity was not related to the difference in oxidation capacity of N-chloramine acids. It was hypothesized that the revealed structural dependence of antiaggregation activity of N-chloramine acids is determined by the structure of platelet membrane, in particular, the presence of a negatively charged group near the site of interaction between N-chloramine acids and platelet membrane.

Lipids, possessing unsaturated fatty acid chains and polar regions with nucleophilic heteroatoms, represent suitable oxidation targets for autologous and heterologous reactive species. Lipid peroxidation products (LPPs) are highly heterogeneous, including hydroperoxides, alkenals, chlorination, or glycation. Accordingly, delineation of lipid targets, species type, resulting products, and oxidation level remains challenging.

Article Synopsis
- Neutrophils fight bacteria using phagocytosis and release reactive substances like hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which can damage proteins.
- The study found that lipid N-chloramines form in bacterial and monocytic cell membranes when exposed to HOCl, indicating their potential role in protein oxidation.
- Glutathione, an antioxidant, can neutralize these lipid N-chloramines, suggesting their involvement in inflammation and the immune response, with reduced stability in living bacterial cells compared to artificial membranes.

Nitrogenous disinfection by-products (N-DBPs) raise increasing concerns because of their high genotoxicity, cytotoxicity, and carcinogenicity compared to carbonaceous disinfection by-products (C-DBPs). Nitrogen-containing disinfectants, dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and inorganic nitrogen may all promote the formation of N-DBPs. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the dominant nitrogen source of N-DBPs under the coexistence of multiple nitrogen sources.

Under physiological conditions, Escherichia coli RidA is an enamine/imine deaminase, which promotes the release of ammonia from reactive enamine/imine intermediates. However, when modified by hypochlorous acid (HOCl), it turns into a potent chaperone-like holdase that can effectively protect E. coli's proteome during oxidative stress.
