title: Identification of carbon-centred radicals derived from linalyl hydroperoxide, a strong skin sensitizer: a possible route for protein modifications.
abstract: Few studies are reported on the formation of reactive carbon-centred radical species from toxic xenobiotics. In this paper the formation of carbon radicals derived from the skin sensitizer linalyl hydroperoxide is described using radical trapping and EPR studies. Radical trapping used TMIO as scavenger agent and light, heat or TPP-Fe(3+) as radical inducers. EPR spin trapping was based on the use of the parent alcohol, generating the same allyloxyl radical than the hydroperoxide by photolysis of the corresponding nitrite formed with t-BuONO, also playing the role of the spin trap. It is suggested that the generation of these carbon radical species could play an important role for the binding of the hydroperoxide with skin proteins to form antigenic structures, the first step of the skin sensitization mechanism.
