"The role of respiratory suppression in chlorine dioxide sterilization"
****!!!!*** {from Chinese database} "its sterilization mechanism is still not clear. The purpose of this paper is to study the inhibition of chlorine dioxide to the respiratory function of white Candida and its correspondence with the sterilization effect. Methods: Ultra-microstructure observation, flow cytometer detection, oxygen consumption determination and flat plate culture. Results Chlorine dioxide has no obvious damage effect on the structure and shape of the mitochondria of white candida, but the cross-membrane potential of mitochondria will gradually collapse with the increase of chlorine dioxide dose. The inhibition degree of aerobic breathing was positively correlated with the mortality rate of the bacteria, but not equal, and the inhibition rate of breathing under various acting conditions was always significantly lower than that of the bacteria. There was no significant difference in mortality detected by anaerobic culture and aerobic culture after chlorine dioxide. Conclusion: The experimental results show that chlorine dioxide has obvious damage effect on the organelles of eclectic cells and is positively correlated with mortality, but respiratory suppression may not be the primary cause of bacterial death."

****!!!!!*** 2020. "The potential role of ClO2 in completely inactivating porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was demonstrated through the action of degrading the genome and proteins of the virus [4]. This study also confrmed that the expression of inflammatory cytokines induced by this virus can be reduced by ClO2. This is further supported bystudies reporting protein-denaturing activities due to covalent oxidative modifcation of cysteine, tryptophan and tyrosine residues of model proteins (bovine serum albumin and G6PD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as the mechanism behind the efficacy of ClO2 against microbes [13,14]. Furthermore, 0.03 ppm of ClO2 has been indicated to prevent aerosol-induced infuenza A virus by denaturing the envelope proteins of the virus [12]. The mechanism of norovirus inactivation by ClO2 is attained through degradation of viral protein, including viral genomic RNA and disruption of viral strucutre [15]. In addition, an observation on ClO2-reduced lysozyme activities showed the potential role of ClO2 in denaturation and degradation of protein "
Kinetics and Mechanisms of Chlorine Dioxide and Chlorite Oxidations of Cysteine and Glutathione
****!!!!*** {Illustrations, etc at bottom of this page. Also, cited excerpts available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6766479_Kinetics_and_Mechanisms_of_Chlorine_Dioxide_and_Chlorite_Oxidations_of_Cysteine_and_Glutathione." "Chlorine dioxide oxidation of cysteine (CSH) is investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions (with excess CSH) in buffered aqueous solutions, p[H+] 2.7−9.5 at 25.0 °C. The rates of chlorine dioxide decay are first order in both ClO2 and CSH concentrations and increase rapidly as the pH increases. The proposed mechanism is an electron transfer from CS- to ClO2 (1.03 × 108 M-1 s-1) with a subsequent rapid reaction of the CS• radical and a second ClO2 to form a cysteinyl−ClO2 adduct (CSOClO). This highly reactive adduct decays via two pathways. In acidic solutions, it hydrolyzes to give CSO2H (sulfinic acid) and HOCl, which in turn rapidly react to form CSO3H (cysteic acid) and Cl-. As the pH increases, the (CSOClO) adduct reacts with CS- by a second pathway to form cystine (CSSC) and chlorite ion (ClO2-). The reaction stoichiometry changes from 6 ClO2:5 CSH at low pH to 2 ClO2:10 CSH at high pH. The ClO2 oxidation of glutathione anion (GS-) is also rapid with a second-order rate constant of 1.40 × 108 M-1 s-1. The reaction of ClO2 with CSSC is 7 orders of magnitude slower than the corresponding reaction with cysteinyl anion (CS-) at pH 6.7. Chlorite ion reacts with CSH; however, at p[H+] 6.7, the observed rate of this reaction is slower than the ClO2/CSH reaction by 6 orders of magnitude. Chlorite ion oxidizes CSH while being reduced to HOCl, which in turn reacts rapidly with CSH to form Cl-. The reaction products are CSSC and CSO3H with a pH-dependent distribution similar to the ClO2/CSH system."
Kinetics and Mechanisms of Virus Inactivation by Chlorine Dioxide in Water Treatment: A Review | SpringerLink
****!!!!!***** Chlorine dioxide (ClO2), an alternative disinfectant to chlorine, has been widely applied in water and wastewater disinfection. This paper aims at presenting an overview of the inactivation kinetics and mechanisms of ClO2 with viruses. The inactivation efficiencies vary greatly among different virus species. The inactivation rates for different serotypes within a family of viruses can differ by over 284%. Generally, to achieve a 4-log removal, the exposure doses, also being referred to as Ct values (mutiplying the concentration of ClO2 and contact time) vary in the range of 0.06–10 mg L−1 min. Inactivation kinetics of viruses show two phases: an initial rapid inactivation phase followed by a tailing phase. Inactivation rates of viruses increase as pH or temperature increases, but show different trends with increasing concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM). Both damages in viral proteins and in the 5′ noncoding region within the genome contribute to virus inactivation upon ClO2 disinfection.

Why is CIO2 Different to Chlorine? | Chlorine Dioxide | Scotmas
**** {Includes helpful illustration} "Chlorine dioxide's behaviour as an oxidising agent is quite dissimilar. Like ozone, the predominant oxidation reaction mechanism for chlorine dioxide proceeds through a process known as free radical electrophilic (i.e. electron-attracting) abstraction rather than by oxidative substitution or addition (as in chlorinating agents such as chlorine or hypochlorite). This means that chlorinated organic compounds such as THMs and HAAs are not produced as a result of disinfection using chlorine dioxide"
***** {pKa} "many compounds used for medication are weak acids or bases, and a knowledge of the pKa values, together with the octanol-water partition coefficient, can be used for estimating the extent to which the compound enters the blood stream. Acid dissociation constants are also essential in aquatic chemistry and chemical oceanography, where the acidity of water plays a fundamental role. In living organisms, acid–base homeostasis and enzyme kinetics are dependent on the pKa values of the many acids and bases present in the cell and in the body. In chemistry, a knowledge of pKa values is necessary for the preparation of buffer solutions and is also a prerequisite for a quantitative understanding of the interaction between acids or bases and metal ions to form complexes."
Plasma membrane damage to Candida albicans caused by chlorine dioxide (ClO2) - Wei - 2008 - Letters in Applied Microbiology

Inhibition of the Binding of Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus to Human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 by Chlorine Dioxide
****!!!!***!!!!***!!!!** "Spike protein was first mixed with various concentrations of CD... at room temperature for 5 min." "CD at 0.25 mmol/L or 0.5 mmol/L was effective in inactivating the binding of the spike protein to ACE2.. However, CD was not effective at 0.1 mmol/L concentration. The result strongly suggests that CD in sufficient cnocentration is effective in inactivating the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and thus preventing its binding to human cells."

Evaluation of the antiviral effect of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) using a vertebrate model inoculated with avian coronavirus
****!!!!**** "we challenged the hypothesis that ClO2 decreases the viral load and virus-induced mortality in a vertebrate model. For this, we determined viral load, virus-induced lesions and mortality in 10-day old chick embryos" " viral titres were 2.4-fold lower and mortality was reduced by half in infected embryos that were treated with ClO2." " Lesions typical of IBV infections were observed in all inoculated embryos, but severity tended to be significantly lower in ClO2-treated embryos. We found no gross or microscopic evidence of toxicity caused by ClO2 at the doses used herein. Our study shows that ClO2 could be a safe and viable way of treating and mitigating the effects of avian coronavirus infections, and raises the possibility that similar effects could be observed in other organisms."

Chlorine Dioxide Degradation Issues on Metal and Plastic Water Pipes Tested in Parallel in a Semi-Closed System
**** {Tested at 1 ppm and ph of 7 for 8 wks} "four different kinds of water pipes, two based on plastics, namely random polypropylene (PPR) and polyethylene of raised temperature (PERT/aluminum multilayer), and two made of metals, i.e., copper and galvanized steel, were put in a semi-closed system where ClO2 was dosed continuously. The semi-closed system allowed for the simulation of real ClO2 concentrations in common water distribution systems and to simulate the presence of pipes made with different materials from the source of water to the tap. Results show that ClO2 has a deep effect on all the materials tested (plastics and metals) and that severe damage occurs due to its strong oxidizing power in terms of surface chemical modification of metals and progressive cracking of plastics. These phenomena could in turn become an issue for the health and safety of drinking water due to progressive leakage of degraded products in the water."
