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 O2-·by flow injection spectrophotometry was developed. The linear range of O2-·concentration 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
