The processes of radical formation in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide monohydrate (NMMO) and cellulose/NMMO solutions were studied by ESR at 77 K under high-power UV (lambda = 248 nm) excimer laser flash photolysis. Radicals mainly generated were attributed to the nitroxide type radicals -CH2-NO\*-CH2- a
Cellulose derivatives are commonly used as gelling agents in topical and ophthalmic drug formulations. During the course of manufacturing, cellulose derivatives are believed to generate free radicals. These free radicals may degrade the gelling agent, leading to lower viscosity. Free radicals also m
An electron spin resonance flow technique was utilized to follow the concentration of thiyl free radicals (RS-) generated upon the oxidation of cysteine with ceric ion over the 0.25-7.5 pH range. The thiyl free radical concentration was seen to decrease with increasing pH in a manner dependent on th
beta-Carotene is thought to be a chain-breaking antioxidant, even though we have no information about the mechanism of its antioxidant activity. Using electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy coupled to the spin-trapping technique, we have studied the effect of beta-carotene and lutein on the radi
