Reactions of aquacobalamin (HO-Cbl(III)) and its one-electron reduced form (cob(II)alamin, Cbl(II)) with chlorite (ClO) and chlorine dioxide (ClO ) were studied by conventional and stopped-flow UV-Vis spectroscopies and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). ClO does not react with HO-Cbl(III), but oxidizes Cbl(II) to HO-Cbl(III) as a major product and corrin-modified species as minor products. The proposed mechanism of chlorite reduction involves formation of OCl that modifies the corrin ring during the course of reaction with Cbl(II). HO-Cbl(III) undergoes relatively slow destruction by ClO via transient formation of oxygenated species, whereas reaction between Cbl(II) and ClO proceeds extremely rapidly and leads to the oxidation of the Co(II)-center.

Human CblC catalyzes the indispensable processing of dietary vitamin B by the removal of its β-axial ligand and an either one- or two-electron reduction of its cobalt center to yield cob(II)alamin and cob(I)alamin, respectively. Human CblC possesses five cysteine residues of an unknown function. We hypothesized that Cys149, conserved in mammals, tunes the CblC reactivity.

Hypochlorite is known to oxidatively degrade the corrin ring of cobalamin. Here, transient reaction intermediates are described in the reaction of aqua as well as of cyano-cobalamin with hypochlorite, using stopped-flow UV-vis kinetics. For aqua-cobalamin, the intermediate is assigned as arising from substitution of the aqua ligand with hypochlorite.

Cyanocobalamin (CNCbl), a medicinal form of vitamin B, is resistant to glutathione (GSH), and undergoes intracellular processing via reductive decyanation producing the Co(II)-form of Cbl (Cbl(II)) mediated by the CblC-protein. Alteration of the CblC-protein structure might inhibit CNCbl processing. Here, we showed that introducing a bromine atom to the C10-position of the CNCbl corrin ring facilitates its reaction with GSH leading to the formation of Cbl(II) and cyanide dissociation.

Besides its use in medicine, vitamin B (cobalamin) and its derivatives have found in numerous applications as catalysts. However, studies related to the activation of oxidants via cobalamin are scant. In this work, we showed how the addition of aquacobalamin (HOCbl) accelerates the destruction of azo-dye Orange II by peroxymonosulfate (HSO) in aqueous solutions.

Detailed kinetic and mechanistic studies have been carried out on the reaction between aquacobalamin/hydroxocobalamin (CblOH/CblOH) and nitroxyl (HNO) generated by Piloty's acid (PA, -hydroxybenzenesulfonamide) over a wide pH range (3.5-13). The resulting data showed that in a basic solution HNO can react with hydroxocobalamin to form nitrosylcobalamin despite the inert nature of CblOH.
