Abstract

Efforts to replace native peroxidase with its low molecular weight alternatives have stimulated a search for peroxidase mimetics. Herein we describe the oxidation of luminol with hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by commercial available Fe III - TAML activator 1a, which was showed to be more active catalyst than hemin. At Fe III -TAML activator 1a use in chemiluminescent assay for H 2 O 2 determination the limit value (3σ) was 5x10-8 M, whereas in the presence of hemin the detection limit was significantly higher and equal to 6x10 -7 M. The linear ranges ( R 2 =0.98) of the assay were 6x10 -8 -1x10 -6 M and 6x10 -7 -1x10 -6 M H 2 O 2 for FeIII-TAML 1a and hemin, respectively. The CV values for Fe III -TAML 1a-based assay measured within the working range varied from 1.0 to 3.7% (n=4), whereas in the case of hemin -5.0 to 9.7% (n=4). Moreover, the sensitivity of Fe III -TAML 1a-based method was 56 times higher than that of hemin-based method. The obtained results open good perspectives to apply Fe III -TAML activator 1a in CL analytical methods instead of hemin, traditionally used peroxidase mimetic.
