Oxidation Mechanism of Rhamnetin, a Bioflavonoid Compound
Ramešová, Šárka ; Sokolová, Romana ; Degano, I.
The natural flavonoid rhamnetin (2-(3,4-dihydroxyfenyl)-3,5-dihydroxy-7-methoxychromen-4-one) is important bioactive compound. Rhamnetin was studied in aqueous solution by electrochemical methods. The oxidation mechanism proceeds in sequential steps, which correspond to the hydroxyl oxidation of groups in the three aromatic rings. The study is based on in situ spectroelectrochemistry and identification of products by HPLC-DAD and HPLC–ESI MS/MS.

Reduction and Oxidation of Hydroxyquinolines in Acetonitrile and Dimethylsulfoxide
Sokolová, Romana ; Ramešová, Šárka ; Fiedler, Jan ; Kolivoška, Viliam ; Degano, I. ; Gál, M. ; Szala, M. ; Nycz, J. E.
This study is focused on investigation of oxidation and reduction pathways of selected hydroxyquinoline compounds in nonaqueous solutions. The experimentally obtained reduction potentials are reported to well correlate with calculated values of LUMO energies as well as the obtained oxidation potentials are in a good agreement with theoretical HOMO energies. The cyclic voltammetry, in situ UV/Vis spectroelectrochemistry and in situ IR spectroelectrochemistry confirmed that the oxidation mechanism is complicated. Oxidation unexpectedly proceeds together with protonation of the starting compound. This behaviour was found for all studied compounds, hydroxyquinoline carboxylic acids and also for compounds, where a methyl group is present instead of carboxylic group.

Electrochemical Study of Rhamnazin
Ramešová, Šárka ; Sokolová, Romana ; Degano, I.
The natural flavonoid compound rhamanzin (3,5,4’-trihydroxy-7,3’-dimethoxyflavone) is important bioactive compound with antioxidative, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory properties. The cyclic voltammetry is used for the electrochemistry behavior of rhamnazin. The determination of oxidation pathways is supported by the identification of degradation products using separation technique.

Adsorption of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine on Au(111) and HOPG
Kocábová, Jana ; Sokolová, Romana
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to study the formation of layers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) on Au(111) and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) in microscopic level. Both substrates were found to support the DPPC layers. The nanoshaving technique was applied to determine the layer thickness. In addition, the influence of deionized water on the DPPC ordering at the substrates was studied by ex-situ and in-situ AFM intermittent contact mode measurements.
