title: Interaction of hypohalous acids and heme peroxidases with unsaturated phosphatidylcholines.
abstract: The formation of chlorohydrins, bromohydrins, and iodohydrins from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) by the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system was evaluated by means of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. This approach allows to detect different kinds of the halogenation reaction even in one mass spectrum. Using a mixture of Cl-, Br-, I-, and SCN- at physiological concentrations, a bromination of POPC dominates by the MPO-hydrogen peroxide-halide system. Hypothiocyanite does apparently not react with the double bond of POPC, but increasing amounts of SCN- cause a decrease of the bromohydrin peaks. An interconversion between different hypohalous acids produced by the myeloperoxidase-hydrogen peroxide-halide system determines the pattern of halogenohydrins in POPC. Especially, hypochlorous acid is able to oxidise Br- to hypobromous acid.
