Abstract: Four thiocarbohydrazones of 1,5-bis(salicylidene)thiocarbohydrazone(BSTZ), 1,5-bis(phydroxybenzaldene)thiocarbohydrazone (BHBTZ), 1,5-bis(mmethoxyphydroxybenzaldene)thiocarbohydrazone(BMHBTZ) and 1,5-bis(mmethoxysalicylidene)thiocarbohydrazone(BMSTZ) were synthesized. BHBTZ and BMHBTZ can be oxidated by superoxide anion radical(O2) and H2O2.Based on the reaction, the determination of O2by flow injection spectrophotometry was developed. The linear range of O2concentration is from 4.5×10-7mol/Lto 1.5×10-6mol/L. The detection limit is 1.5×10-7mol/L. The relative standard deviation is 5.23%. Coexist substances in many biological samples have no interference. The method can also be used to determine the activity of superoxide dismudase(SOD).

Key words: Thiocarbohydrazone, Superoxide anion radical, Superoxide dismudase activity, Flow injection spectrophotometry
