グルタチオンへのマイケル付加反応を利用したタバコ煙中のα,β不飽和カルボニル化合物の同定
Cigarette smoke contains many toxicants that cause oxidative damage in various cells and tissues. We have previously detected three α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, methyl vinyl ketone (MVK), acrolein and crotonaldehyde, in aqueous nicotine/tar-free cigarette smoke extract (CSE). These compounds as well as CSE irreversibly modified glutathione (GSH), an important antioxidant, by the Michael addition reaction in mouse melanoma cells, causing a rapid depletion of intracellular GSH and leading to cell death.
In this study, we tried to presume the structure of other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds contained in the CSE, by measuring the elemental composition of the Michael addition reaction products of CSE and GSH.
