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.

Stoichiometry of reactions of ozone and hypochlorous acid with lignin and hexenuronic acid and its chlorination [PDF]
The authors thank Markus Kyllönen for his help in running some of the bleaching experiments, and to Yibo Ma for his guidance on the hemicellulose extraction procedure with EMIM OAc. Open Access funding provided by Aalto University. This work was cofunded

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).

Synergistic effect of two formulations of hypochlorous acid in the treatment of 346 chronic ulcers [PDF]
Our objective was to assess the efficacy of two successive applications of hypochlorous acid, first as a liquid and then as a gel because liquid hypochlorous acid is effective but has little residual effect, while the gel form has more residual power ...

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.
