The influence of some biological antioxidants on the light emission from the oxytetracycline oxidation reaction

The effect of the superoxide radical ([formula omitted])-, hydroxyl radical (HO·)-inhibitors, singlet oxygen (1O2)-quenchers and catalase on the light emission during autoxidation reaction of oxytetracycline was measured. The influence of the 1O2-quenchers was investigated quantitatively and the rate constants were established. © 1992, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
