Definitions
- This invention relates to the fields of preventing the fouling of surfaces by organic molecules and biological organisms and to impairing the viability of organisms or degrading organic matter present in aqueous or humid environments by providing is such environments a chemical system which is capable of continuously generating or releasing reactive oxygen species.
- Fouling can in principle be prevented by interfering with any one of these stages.
- micro-organisms do not need to be submerged constantly, or indeed to be submerged at all to face a problem of fouling. Given a sufficiently humid or wet environment, micro-organisms will colonise many forms of surfaces such as roofs, wooden structures, plastics, the walls of buildings, clothing or other fabrics, medical devices, packaging materials, bandages and dressings, skin and even industrial machinery such as oil drilling equipment. In many such cases the presence of micro- organisms in layers presents a significant aesthetic problem and it may also cause damages to the materials. In other cases the micro-organisms can, either directly or indirectly (by facilitating the settling of other organisms) cause a medical or structural problem to develop.
- Biocidally active compounds are also presently used to reduce the presence, or prevent the build up, of undesired micro-organisms in water bodies or aquatic environments themselves. They can be either periodically applied directly to the body of water, or alternatively be introduced into the environment via diffusion from a surface which is in contact with the water body. The biocide is being used to partially or fully sterilise or disinfect the water body. Applications of such systems most obviously include the sterilisation or disin- fection of drinking water and the treatment of household effluent, sewage or industrial waste both in holding tanks and in the sewer system itself. They are also widely used in building air conditioning and ventilation systems (where the build up of such organisms as Legionella spp can be a health problem for the occupants) . They can further be used to prevent the contamination of aquatic environments such as processing tanks, filters and as a way of controlling residual or subsequent contamination of foodstuffs and drinks.
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide are used to cause modification or degradation of organic matter molecules including bleaching of coloured or pigmented matters.
- reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide are used to cause modification or degradation of organic matter molecules including bleaching of coloured or pigmented matters.
- currently used methods for this purpose are also based on feeding of the reactive oxygen species to the environment contaminated with organic matter.
- JP 83-28345 discloses the use of a peroxide of a group Ila metal in a marine anti-foulant for application to a ship's hull to prevent adhesion of marine organisms .
- the invention relates in a first aspect to a method of continuously generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an environment, the method comprising providing in said environment a chemical system which in the presence of an oxygen source and a reducing agent is capable of continuously generating reactive oxygen species, the system comprising (i) a redox active transition metal ion and (ii) a chelating compound capable of binding to the metal ion to form a chelate, the metal ion thereby being so firmly associated with the chelating compound that it essentially does not dissociate from the chelate into the environment.
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- An important aspect of the invention is to provide the means for controlling fouling of surfaces by organic matter including living micro- and macro-organisms . It is therefore an important objective of the invention that it provides a method of controlling in an aqueous, humid or intermittently humid environment the accumulation of organic matter on a surface delimiting or being in contact with the environment, the method comprising associating with said surface a chemical system as defined above which in said environment is capable of continuously generating reactive oxygen species in an amount which prevents or reduces accumulation of organic matter on said surface.
- a method of impairing the viability of organisms or of degrading organic matter present in an aqueous, humid or intermittently humid environment comprising providing in the environment a chemical system as defined above which is capable of continuously generating in said environment reactive oxygen species in an amount which impairs viability of the organisms and/or degrades the organic matter.
- the invention provides in a still further aspect a composition
- a composition comprising a chemical system which in the presence of an oxygen source and a reducing agent is capable of continuously generating reactive oxygen species in an aqueous, humid or intermittently humid environment, the system comprising (i) a redox active transition metal ion and (ii) a chelating compound capable of binding to the metal ion to form a chelating com- pound/metal ion complex (a chelate) , the metal ion thereby being so firmly associated with the chelating compound that it essentially does not dissociate from the chelate when it is present.
- Such a composition is capable of continuously generating reactive oxygen species in an amount which impairs the viability of organisms present in the environment or degrades organic matter in the environment .
- the present invention relates, as it is mentioned above, in a first aspect to a method of continuously generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) in an environment containing water.
- the in-situ reactive oxygen species generating system comprises at least two elements, i.e. (i) a redox active transition metal ion and (ii) a chelating compound which is capable of binding to the metal ion whereby a chelate is formed.
- this binding is so firm that essentially no dissociation of free metal ions into the environment occurs.
- transition metal is used in its conventional meaning of elements in the ten columns near the centre of the Periodic Table of Elements which is generally referred to as the d-block.
- a general definition of transition metals would be: "those elements at least one of whose simple ions has an incomplete outer shell of d-electrons (that is contains between one and nine electrons) from Chemistry Facts, Patterns and Principles (Revised Edition), Kneen et al., Longman, London, 1987.
- the group of transition metals include the following atomic numbers: 21-30, 39-48, 57-80 and 89-107.
- chelating compound may also be referred to as a "ligand” or a "chelator”. Without being bound by examples these include the group of chelating compounds listed below:
- EDTA Ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid or (ethylenedinitril) tetraacetic Acid
- ECTA [N- (2-Ethylnitrilodiacetic Acid) -1, 2-Cyclohexylene dini- trilo] Triacetic Acid
- EHPG N,N' -Ethylene bis [2 - (2-hydroxy-5-chlorophenyl) -
- CH3EHPG N,N' Ethylene bis [2- (2 -Hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)
- CDTA (1,2-Cyclohexylenedinitrilo) Tetraacetic Acid
- EHCHG N,N, Ethylene bis (N-2-Hydroxycyclohexylglycine) ,
- NTA Nitrilotriacetic Acid
- DHEG N,N'-bis (2 -hydroxyethyl) Glycine
- EDAMC Ethylenediamine-bis-methylenecarboxylate
- the usefulness of the above-mentioned chelating compounds can be further increased by using either a combination of compounds or by derivatising the compounds.
- derivatisation serves at least one of three important purposes : (i) to anchor the chelate to a surface, (ii) to enhance affin- ity/specificity of the ion chelation and (iii) to modulate surface polarity.
- the fixation of the chelate to the surface is essential to the in-situ/surface production of reactive oxygen species .
- substituents with long lipophilic chains in the chelator hence facilitating binding or anchoring of the chelator to a surface.
- substituents are a substituent comprising an anthraquinone group. The substitution can be done via acid derivatives or by direct substi- tution on the carbon skeleton of the chelator.
- These chains may (or may not) have functional groups which e.g. can be functional groups participating in a hardening of a coating comprising the system according to the invention.
- Another way of fixating the chelating agent to a surface is by attaching the chelate to the surface either by chemical and/or physical activation of the surface followed by attachment of the chelate. Still another way is by direct attachment of the chelate to the unmodified surface.
- R, R' as used in the above Scheme 1 and the below Scheme 2 designate different substituents.
- substituted is used in its broadest sense and it encompasses most organic structures with or without functional groups. Most preferred are structures which comprise alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl or aryl .
- suitable oxygen sources may be present in an aqueous or humid environment as free oxygen or as oxygen bound to organic or inorganic moieties.
- an organic or inorganic oxygen source may be added to the environment or incorporated into the chemical system according to the invention prior to its introduction into the environment.
- Suitable reducing agents will normally be abundantly present in the aqueous or wet environment, but such agents may also, if required, be added to the system or the environment.
- All three oxygen species are highly oxidative and have higher oxidation potentials than e.g. bromine and chlorine and as such they can be regarded as potent disinfectants.
- This electron transfer sequence can be catalyzed by different transition metal ions including as examples: Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Co and Ru ions.
- the redox mechanism can be exemplified by the Fe (II) /Fe (III) system.
- Fe(II) is capable of transferring an electron to molecular oxygen giving rise to superoxide, with itself being oxidised to Fe(III).
- Fe(III) is easy to reduce and can be reduced by most reducing agents.
- very weak reducing agents such as the widely found agent hydrogen sulphide and 3- mercaptopropionic acid and DTE are capable of reducing EDTA- Fe(III) .
- reducing agents such as NADH and ascorbate are also able to carry out this reaction.
- Such compounds are found as components in heterogeneous biological aqueous environments. It has been shown that chelation of Fe(III) (e.g. by NTA, EDTA) makes the reduction of Fe(III) even easier. Superoxide and hydrogen peroxide may also be reduced and thus 3 electrons are required to form hydroxyl radicals which are the end product.
- Agent ⁇ Red. Agent Red. Agent
- the key issue in the above chemical system is its continuous or cyclic nature whereby, in the presence of an oxygen source and a reducing agent, it will result in a steady flow of reactive oxygen species.
- the reaction is maintained by the continuous cycling of the metal ion complex, i.e. the chelate, between its reactive and its inert forms.
- the so-called inert complex is returned to its reactive state through reaction with a reducing agent.
- Each oxidation of the metal ion complex releases another electron to be transferred to oxygen, superoxide or peroxide, thus generating further ROS.
- an environment comprising an aqueous phase the means of preventing fouling of a surface by organic materials, micro-organisms and macro-organisms or of impairing the viability of organisms or degrading organic matter in such an environment .
- an environment comprising an aqueous phase this implies any environment where there are sufficient amounts of water for the ROS generating system to become active. This will include moist, wet, humid or intermittently humid or wet environments and liquid containing only minor amounts or traces of an aqueous phase such as e.g. a cutting oil.
- fouling refers to the phenomenon of organic matter and living organisms being settled or accumulated on a solid surface.
- a surface may be the outer surface of constructions which are permanently submerged into a water body such as the outside of a ship's hull or a oil drilling platform construction.
- the surface may also be an outer surface of a construction or a construction element located in the open air or the inner surface delimiting a cavity such as e.g. the inner surfaces of constructions for containing or transport- ing a liquid including water or aqueous media.
- the method of controlling in an aqueous, humid or intermittently humid environment, the accumulation of organic matter including micro-organisms and macro-organisms on a surface, i.e. fouling of that surface comprises that a chemical system as described above is associated with the surface.
- the expression "associated with a surface” indicates that the ROS generating system is either incorporated into a coating or surface layer covering the surface to be protected from fouling or that the system, i.e. the chelate is bound or linked to the surface itself.
- the linking or binding of the metal ions to the surface is typically made by complexing the ions to metal chelating com- pounds to form chelates followed by binding or anchoring (fixating) these chelates to the surface.
- This binding or anchoring of chelates is advantageously carried out via substituents which are linked to the chelating compounds or chelators.
- substituents which are linked to the chelating compounds or chelators.
- One example of such a useful substituent is an anthraquinone group which can be firmly attached to a solid surface by a photochemical reaction.
- the ROS generating system can be associated with the surface by incorporating it into an anti-fouling compo- sition or coating such as e.g. an anti-fouling paint comprising polymeric particles.
- an anti-fouling compo- sition or coating such as e.g. an anti-fouling paint comprising polymeric particles.
- the chemical system can be linked or anchored to the particles either during the polymerisation process leading to the paint or coating or the chemical system can attached to the polymeric particles inde- pendently of the polymerisation process.
- the expression “associated with a surface” also refers to the situation where the object of the method according to the invention is not only to prevent fouling of a surface itself but also to impair the viability of organisms or to degrade organic matter in an aqueous or wet environment in the proximity to the surface.
- the expression “in the proximity to the surface” is used to describe the distance from the surface over which the concentration of the generated reactive oxygen species is sufficient- ly high to impair the viability of undesired organisms present in the environment. It is contemplated that this distance, depending on the particular system applied, will be in the range of 0-100 cm such as in the range of 0-50 cm, including the range of 0-25 cm such as in the range of 0-10 cm.
- the above method of controlling surface accumulation of organic matter and organisms is useful for controlling fouling of any submerged or wet surface, and the use of the method is contemplated for a variety of surfaces including as examples a ship's hull, a water storage reservoir, a waste water reservoir, the inner surface of a water pipe or tubing for transportation of liquid media, a liquor container, a fish net, an anchor, a rope, a roof, a fence, a boat, a submarine, a water inlet or outlet of a power station and other industrial plants, an aqueduct, a canalised waterway, a submerged marine structure, an industrial processing tank, an air conditioning system, a filter, a medical bandage or plaster, a packaging foil, a film, a plastic, paper for storage of foods and fluids, a medical device, a pharmaceutical, a household or industrial appliance and paper goods .
- the present invention also relates to impairment of the viability of organisms or degradation of organic matter in an environment providing conditions under which the above chemical system is active including aqueous, humid or intermittently humid environments .
- the expression "impairment of viability” refers to an effect whereby a substantial proportion of living organisms including micro-organisms such as bacteria that are present in the aqueous or humid environment are killed or inhibited with respect to growth or other manifestations of viability. Such an effect may also be referred to as a biostatic or biocidal effect.
- a transition metal ion chelating compound in itself when added to an environment containing viable organisms may have a significant biocidal or biostatic effect. It is assumed that this effect is due to the metal scavenging effect of the chelator which results is a depletion of metal ions the presence of which are essential for the viability of the organisms.
- the effect of the chemical system as described herein may therefore be enhanced by adding a further amount of chelating compound to the environment .
- the present method of impairing the viability of organisms or of degrading organic matter is based on that a chemical system as defined herein is provided in the environment in an amount which is capable of continuously generating in said environment reactive oxygen species in an amount which impairs viability of the organisms and/or degrades the organic matter.
- the types of organisms the growth of which can be controlled by the ROS-generating system include micro-organisms such as e.g. gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast, fungi, proto- zoa, algae, and macro-organisms including larval stages of animals having natural aqueous environments such as marine environments, rivers, lakes and ponds as their habitats.
- the effect the generation of reactive oxygen species on the organisms may a killing, i.e. a biocidal effect or the effect may be an inhibitory effect, i.e. a biostatic effect on the growth or other life manifestations of the organisms.
- the effect of the ROS may be biocidal for some organisms present and biostatic for other organisms.
- a particularly interesting aspect of the invention is that reactive oxygen species can be generated in amounts which results in degradation of organic matter other than viable organisms .
- Natural water bodies and other aqueous environments such as e.g. water purification and water supply systems and sewage treatment facilities contain varying amounts of organic matter and in many instances is it desirable to obtain a reduc- tion of the organic matter content.
- the chemical system when applied in accordance with the invention is capable of generating ROS which results in degradation of organic matter.
- One example of this effect is the bleaching of coloured organic matter.
- the chemical system is provided in the form of particles carrying the system, such particles are typically of a size in the range of 0.1 to 1000 ⁇ m such as 0.5 to 500 ⁇ m including 1 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the chemical system may be provided in the environment in the same manner as it is described above, i.e. it can be added directly to a water body either in the form of chelates (complexed transition metal ions) or in the form of particles to which the chelates are bound. Additionally, the chemical system may be provided by associating it with a surface delimiting or being in contact with the environment. Thus, the chemical system can e.g.
- a surface which is a surface delimiting a drinking water storage reservoir, a waste water reservoir or a swimming pool, the inner surface of a pipe or tubing for transportation of a liquid medium, a surface delimiting a liquor container, a water inlet or outlet of a power station and other industrial plants, an aqueduct, a canalised waterway, an industrial processing tank or the surface can be in an air conditioning system, a filter, a packaging foil, a film, a plastic, paper for storage of foods and fluids, a medical device, a pharmaceutical, a household or industrial appliance and paper goods.
- the control of microbial growth and the accumulation of organic matter is of great concern in water supply systems and in the operation of private and public swimming pools.
- the control of the water quality is such systems is made by mechanical removal of organic matter e.g. by filtration and continuous feeding to the system of biocides such as chlorine.
- the invention will provide alternative means of such control measures or that the system according to the invention can be used as a supplementary measure to control water quality.
- the chemical system can be associated with the filtering materials and/or it can be associated with surfaces delimiting water supply element or swimming pools.
- the chemical system can be provided conveniently in a water environment in the form of particles coated with the system which are contained in a material permitting water to come into contact with the particles. Such contained particles can be inserted e.g. in a water supply system including a household water heating system to control microbial growth.
- compositions which are useful in the above methods and which accordingly have the composition and features as described above. Although it is preferred that the composition does not include environmentally detrimental compounds, it is contemplated that the compositions may, for certain uses, advantageously include a biocidally active compound.
- such a composition may be in the form of particles carrying the chemical system.
- the composition may also be a paint or coating composition such as an anti-fouling paint for building constructions or surfaces submerged in sea water, including a paint for ships or other vessels including an oil drilling platform.

- ROS reactive oxygen species
- ChelixTM Capable of binding 1.4 mmol of divalent cations
- the Chelix is washed 3 times with 10 ml of water and 4 times with 10 ml of buffer (phosphate 25 mM, pH 7.0).
- Each round of washing included (i) a centrifugation step (5000 rpm for 3 min) to sediment the Chelix, (ii) decanting of the supernatant and (iii) addition of washing solution followed by resuspending of the beads by whirl mixing. After the final wash the charged beads were resuspended in 5 ml of phosphate buffer.
- the charged resin was light brown in the case of iron charging and dark blue in the case of copper charging.
- Example 2 An experiment similar to that in Example 2 was set up, but using copper ions and less charged resin. The bleaching effect was recorded after incubation at room temperature after 3 hours .
- the amount of possible free Cu ions in the culture solution was analyzed by mixing 1 ml of Murexide (75 ⁇ M or 75 nmol) with 50 or 200 ⁇ l of cul- ture solution. No Cu induced UV- shift of Murexide was observed. Since a UV shift can be observed with 7.5 ⁇ M Cu in this assay this means that the 200 ⁇ l E. coli culture contained less than 37.5 ⁇ M of free Cu ions. A concentration of free Cu ions of 100 ⁇ M was subsequently shown to have no effect for E. coli growth. We conclude that the observed effect of Cu was due to Cu bound to the resin and therefore was the result of generation of ROS.
- AnalaR grade metal nitrates, manganese dichloride, hydrogen peroxide nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) , Murexide (purpuric acid, ammonium salt) methyl orange and amaranth were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Ltd. Chromatography beads were manufactured by Supelco and purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Ltd. All reactants were made up in distilled water. 5.2. Investigation of substrate bleaching in the presence of transition metal ions
- Murexide formed a complex with Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions. This was seen by a rapid colour change and the ⁇ - ⁇ of Murexide was observed to shift 20-30 nm towards the UV region of the spectrum.
- Non-complexed transition metal ions did not initiate Murexide bleaching. Hence no change in Murexide concentration was observed in the presence of Mn(II), Co(II) ( Figure 2), Ni(II) or Cu(II) ions. Although decreases in Murexide concentration were seen in the presence of Cr(III) and Fe(III) this is due to other factors associated with the chemistry of these particular ions.
- Metal ion-NTA complexes generally initiated Murexide bleaching so that where Murexide concentrations remained stable in the presence of the non-complexed ion, in the presence of the NTA complex a decrease in concentration was observed, see Figure 2. It is assumed that this decrease was due to the formation of ROS.
- Chromatography beads were used as convenient models for applications involving surface bound metal ion complexes.
- Three types of chelating compound coated chromatography beads were studied: iminodiacetic acid (IDA) , see Figure 5 (structure 1) ; ethylenediamine bis methylenecarboxylate (EDAMC) , see Figure 5 (structure 2) ; and aminophosphonate, coated beads.
- IDA iminodiacetic acid
- EDAMC ethylenediamine bis methylenecarboxylate
- aminophosphonate coated beads.
- the required weight of beads were washed with distilled water and then added to an aqueous solution of excess metal nitrate where they were left to incubate for at least one hour.
- Reactions were initiated by adding the substrate to distilled water which held the chromatography beads which usually formed a monolayer on the base of the reaction vessel. Additional Cu(II) ions, 5xl0 "5 mol dm “3 , were added to certain reaction solutions, otherwise the general procedure was as described in the above sections. Reactions were initiated by the addition of the substrate, amaranth, methyl orange or Murexide to the reaction solution. 7x10 "7 mol dm "3 hydrogen peroxide was added to certain reaction solutions after approximately 60 minutes.
- Micro-organisms used in the study were Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 (grown at 37°C) , Bacillus cereus NCIMB 6349 (grown at 30°C) and Pseudomonas fluorescence NCIMB 8178 (grown at 25°C) all of which were obtained from South Bank University, London, culture library.
- the micro-organisms were cultivated in Oxoid nutrient broth purchased from Fisher Scientific UK.
- Iminodiacetic acid IDA
- aminophosphonate coated polystyrene chromatography beads manufactured by Supelco and purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Ltd, and complexed with Cu(II) or Fe(III) were investigated.
- Other materials are as described above.
- Reactant solutions (total volume 10 ml) containing nutrient broth and lxlO "4 mol dm "3 Cu(II) or Fe(III), and nutrient broth and various weights of complexed or non-complexed IDA or amino- phosphonate coated chromatography beads were inoculated with
- Table 6.2 Effect of aminophosphonate (AP) coated chromatography beads on E. coli growth. Readings are optical density (OD) measurements made at 490 nm.
- AP aminophosphonate
- OD optical density
- Table 6 .4 Effect of AP coated chromatography beads on B . cereus growth . Readings are optical density (OD) measurements made at 490 nm.
- Non-complexed ions had no effect on bacterial growth at experimental concentrations (lxlO "4 mol dm "3 ) .
- Non-complexed beads had the greatest inhibitory effect on bacterial growth. It is likely that this is due to the non-complexed ligands sequestering nutrient metal ions from solution. This possibly has the dual effect of starving the bacteria and also poisoning them with ROS generated from the nutrient ion ligand complexes.
