The redox properties of ethyl diethoxyphosphoryldithioacetate (1), methyl diethoxyphosphorylfluorodithioacetate (2) and methyl diethoxyphosphoryldifluorodithioacetate (3) were measured by cyclic voltammetry. Addition of free radicals to the three dithioesters led to the detection of the ESR spectra of the spin adducts only with the last two compounds. Based on the reduction potentials of the three dithioacetates, this may be explained by capto-dative stabilization of the adducts. On the basis of DFT calculations, the temperature dependent variations of the spectral patterns exhibited by the radicals were attributed to restricted rotation about the Calpha-SMe bond.

Acacetin (AC) is a natural polyphenol from the group of flavonoids. It is well established that the behavior of flavonoids depends on the presence of redox-active substances; therefore, we aim to investigate their biological activity following the interaction with Cu(II) ion. Our study demonstrates that AC can effectively bind Cu(II) ions, as confirmed by UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations.

CuATSM, a copper(II) complex of a bis(thiosemicarbazone) of diacetyl, prevents oxidative cell death and acts as a neuroprotectant , prompting its evaluation to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative conditions in the clinic. We recently demonstrated that CuATSM functions as a potent radical-trapping antioxidant (RTA), inhibiting lipid peroxidation and associated ferroptotic cell death by a noncanonical mechanism based on radical addition to the ligand backbone. Herein we report our investigations of the generality of this reactivity, which include studies of corresponding complexes of various other metals, including Co, Ru, Ni, Pd, Pt, and Au.

6-PPD (-[1,3-dimethylbutyl]-'-phenyl--phenylenediamine) is an industrial antioxidant reported to be an environmental contaminant. It was found to be highly toxic to coho salmon and potentially other aquatic organisms. The toxicity of 6-PPD in humans, however, remains unknown.

Article Synopsis
- Evolvulus alsinoides is a valuable shrub that can produce important substances for medicine, but it’s hard to find fresh plants throughout the year because they grow quickly.
- Researchers studied how adding tiny carbon dots (around 3-7 nanometers in size) can boost the production of these important substances in special plant cultures.
- They found that using carbon dots increased certain valuable compounds significantly and that machine learning can help predict how well these plants respond to stress and make more useful substances.

The 2-aminoimidazolone is a major and ubiquitous in vitro product of guanine oxidation. The flash-quench method, combining spectroscopy and product analysis, offers a novel and tunable approach to study guanine oxidation on double helical DNA. Herein we found that imidazolone dIz (2-amino-5-[(2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-4H-imidazole-4-one) and dZ (2,2-diamino-5-[2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)amino]-5(2H)-oxazolone) were the major oxidation products of double-strand DNA from the visible-light irradiation of the well-known DNA intercalating and light-switching Ru(OP)dppz (OP = 1,10-phenanthroline, dppz = dipyrido [3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine) in the presence of a typical quencher methyl viologen (MV).
