Lysine Reacts with Cholesterol Hydroperoxide to Form Secosterol Aldehydes and Lysine-Secosterol Aldehyde Adducts by George Wafula Wanjala, Arnold Nola Onyango, David Rasugu Abuga, John Kamathi Muchuna, Calvin Onyango, Moses Makayoto

“…This involves cyclization of Ch-5α-OOH to an unstable dioxetane intermediate, which decomposes to form secosterol aldehydes with triplet carbonyl groups, whose return to the singlet state is at least partly coupled to the conversion of triplet molecular oxygen to singlet oxygen. Here, we subjected cholesterol to photosensitized oxidation, which predominantly produces Ch-5α-OOH and minor amounts of the 6α- and 6β-hydroperoxides, exposed the hydroperoxide mixture to lysine in the presence of the antioxidant 2,6-ditertiary-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT), and analysed the reaction mixture by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. …”
