Modification of IL-6 by hypochlorous acid: effects on receptor binding and possible role in treatment of COVID-19 [PDF]
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute inflammatory events in COVID-19 patients. We exposed IL-6 to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in vitro at concentrations reported to develop in vivo.

Hypochlorous Acid: A Novel Agent Against Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces [PDF]
Objective: We aimed to determine the scolicidal effect of hypochlorous acid and its efficiency at different concentrations. Materials and Methods: We tested the effectiveness of hypochlorous acid in-vitro on sterile gauze at different concentrations in ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Reactions of kynurenic acid with hypobromous acid and hypochlorous acid
Kynurenic acid, a tryptophan metabolite, acts as antagonist or agonist of several receptors. Hypobromous acid (HOBr) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) are generated by eosinophils and neutrophils. At inflammation sites, kynurenic acid may encounter HOBr and HOCl to generate products.

Time to rethink medical disinfection from a planetary health perspective
Disinfection products can have substantial environmental impacts which include associated manufacturing emissions, toxicity to marine life and potential adverse health outcomes. Despite this, disinfection is under-represented in sustainability approaches.

Hypochlorous acid inactivates myeloperoxidase inside phagocytosing neutrophils
When neutrophils phagocytose bacteria, they release myeloperoxidase (MPO) into phagosomes to catalyse the conversion of superoxide to the potent antimicrobial oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl).

Chlorination and oxidation of heparin and hyaluronan by hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite anions: effect of sulfate groups on reaction pathways and kinetics. [PDF]
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), produced in inflammatory conditions by the enzyme myeloperoxidase, and its anion hypochlorite (OCl(-)) exist in vivo at almost equal concentrations.

Carbonate species play a previously overlooked role in near‐neutral seawater electrocatalysis. By coupling electrochemical hydrodynamics with mesoscopic simulations, we reveal a plausible carbonate‐mediated route in which carbonate functions as an interfacial proton acceptor and water as the oxygen donor, showing a possible mechanistic picture of ...
