Abstract
The chemiluminescent oxidation of luminol and an isoluminol cortisol conjugate (ABICOR) by hydrogen peroxide has been studied in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) reversed micelles in octaneβchloroform (1 : 1). The maximum chemiluminescence intensity of both compounds is dependent on the initial concentrations of the H~2~O~2~ and substrates, the pH value of the micelle polar phase and the H~2~O/CTAB ratio. The optimum pH ranged from 8.5 to 9.5. Under comparable conditions, the chemiluminescence intensity for luminol was 15βfold higher than for the ABIβCOR conjugate. A mechanism of oxidation of the substrates in reversed micelles is proposed and the possible mechanisms of inhibition by the substrate and oxidant is discussed.
