Dv. Paramonov et al., RADIATION-INDUCED DEGRADATION OF IONOL IN AQUEOUS LIPOSOME SUSPENSIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN, High energy chemistry, 32(4), 1998, pp. 221-225
Radiolysis of L-alpha-lecithin liposomes in aqueous dispersions was ex
amined. The radiation-chemical yields of transformations of ionol inco
rporated in lipid membranes were determined. It was found that the yie
ld of ionol degradation increased with ionol concentration in a lipid
membrane and ran as high as 1.7 molecule/100 eV. It was suggested that
ionol was decomposed via reaction with hydroxyl radicals.
