Irradiation in the presence of O2, with near-UV light of five promazine (PZ) derivatives added to erythrocyte ghost membranes, causes covalent cross-linking between proteins as revealed by a progressive decrease in the amounts of proteins separable by electrophoresis after denaturation. The induction of cross-links in the two spectrin subunits is a single-hit process as a function of the irradiation time; relatively the rate constants (in min-1) of the photoreactions were 0.060 with chlorpromazine (CPZ), 0.039 with methoxypromazine (MTPZ), 0.031 with PZ, 0.029 with triflupromazine (TFPZ) and 0.006 with acepromazine (ACPZ). A main photochemical intermediate implicated in the spectrin aggregation seems to be the cation radical of the PZ derivatives. Indeed, (i) the chemically generated cation radicals can induce the reaction in the dark; (ii) the photoaggregation is regularly reduced upon addition of increasing concentrations of NaN3; (iii) NaN3 similarly affects the amount of cross-links induced by the isolated cation radicals. Hydroxyl radicals are also involved in the photocross-linking when the reaction is initiated only by MTPZ and not by the other sensitizers. In the absence of oxygen during irradiation, PZ, MTPZ and ACPZ completely loose their cross-linking activities whereas CPZ and TFPZ remain as efficient as in the presence of oxygen.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
