Abstract

Bilin-1,19(21H,24H)-diones interact with O 2·- in DMSO giving rise to adducts showing charge-transfer character. This reaction can be reversed by addition of O 2·- consuming compounds. The O 2·-biliverdin dimethyl ester adduct collapses partially to 10-oxobilirubin dimethyl ester when treated with thiourea and 2-mercaptoethanol.
