Catalytic Trends of OsO4 for the Taurine-Bromamine-T Redox System: Kinetic and Mechanistic Chemistry of Catalyzed and Uncatalyzed Reactions
Abstract: Taurine (2-ethane aminosulfonic acid) facilitates as a building block for protein synthesis, also possessing various other vital biological functions. Literature survey revealed that there was no report available on the oxidation of taurine with any oxidants from its kinetic, mechanistic and catalytic aspects. A detailed comparative mechanistic study of its Os(VIII) catalyzed and uncatalyzed oxidation kinetics by bromamine-T (BAT) in NaOH medium at 313 K revealed the rate law to …

Arsenic Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Arsenic (As) is a metalloid listed in group Va of the periodic chart. It exists in nature in the oxidation states +V (arsenate), +III (arsenite), 0 (arsenic) and −III (arsine). In the aqueous environment inorganic arsenic appears commonly in the oxidation states +V and +III as arsenous acid (As (III)), arsenic acid (As (V)), and their salts. Chronic and acute exposures of arsenic leads to cancer, cardiovascular disease (hypertension and …
