Abstract
Superoxide radical plays an important role in redox cell signaling and physiological processes; however, overproduction of superoxide or insufficient activity of antioxidants leads to oxidative stress and contributes to the development of pathological conditions such as endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. Meanwhile, the studies of superoxide in biological systems represent unique challenges associated with short lifetime of superoxide, insufficient reactivity of the superoxide probes, and lack of site-specific detection of superoxide. In this work we have developed 15N-and deuterium-enriched spin probe 15N-CAT1H for high sensitivity and site-specific detection of extracellular superoxide. We have tested simultaneous tracking of extracellular superoxide by 15N-CAT1H and intramitochondrial superoxide by conventional 14N-containing spin probe mitoTEMPO-H in immune cells isolated from spleen, splenocytes, under basal conditions or stimulated with inflammatory cytokines IL-17A and TNFα, NADPH oxidase activator PMA, or treated with inhibitors of mitochondrial complex I rotenone or complex III antimycin A. 15N-CAT1H provides two-fold increase in sensitivity and improves detection since EPR spectrum of 15N-CAT1 nitroxide does not overlap with biological radicals. Furthermore, concurrent use of cell impermeable 15N-CAT1H and mitochondria-targeted 14N-mitoTEMPO-H allows simultaneous detection of extracellular and mitochondrial superoxide. Analysis of IL-17A- and TNFα-induced superoxide showed parallel increase in 15N-CAT1 and 14N-mitoTEMPO signals suggesting coupling between phagocytic NADPH oxidase and mitochondria. The interplay between mitochondrial superoxide production and activity of phagocytic NADPH oxidase was further investigated in splenocytes isolated from Sham and angiotensin II infused C57Bl/6J and Nox2KO mice. Angiotensin II infusion in wild-type mice increased the extracellular basal splenocyte superoxide which was further enhanced by complex III inhibitor antimycin A, mitochondrial uncoupling agent CCCP and NADPH oxidase activator PMA. Nox2 depletion attenuated angiotensin II mediated stimulation and inhibited both extracellular and mitochondrial PMA-induced superoxide production. These data indicate that splenocytes isolated from hypertensive angiotensin II-infused mice are "primed" for enhanced superoxide production from both phagocytic NADPH oxidase and mitochondria. Our data demonstrate that novel 15N-CAT1H provides high sensitivity superoxide measurements and combination with mitoTEMPO-H allows independent and simultaneous detection of extracellular and mitochondrial superoxide. We suggest that this new approach can be used to study the site-specific superoxide production and analysis of important sources of oxidative stress in cardiovascular conditions.

Abstract
Stable free radicals are widely used as molecular probes and labels in various biophysical and biomedical research applications of magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. Among these radicals, sterically shielded nitroxides of pyrrolidine series demonstrate the highest stability in biological systems. Here, we suggest new convenient procedure for preparation of 3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetraethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl, a reduction-resistant analog of widely used carboxy-Proxyl, from cheap commercially available reagents with the yield exceeding the most optimistic literature data. Several new spin labels and probes of 2,2,5,5-tetraethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl series were prepared and reduction of these radicals in ascorbate solutions, mice blood and tissue homogenates was studied.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress contributes to numerous pathophysiological conditions such as development of cancer, neurodegenerative, and cardiovascular diseases. A variety of measurements of oxidative stress markers in biological systems have been developed; however, many of these methods are not specific, can produce artifacts, and do not directly detect the free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause oxidative stress. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) is a unique tool that allows direct measurements of free radical species. Cyclic hydroxylamines are useful and convenient molecular probes that readily react with ROS to produce stable nitroxide radicals, which can be quantitatively measured by EPR. In this work, we critically review recent applications of various cyclic hydroxylamine spin probes in biology to study oxidative stress, their advantages, and the shortcomings. Recent Advances: In the past decade, a number of new cyclic hydroxylamine spin probes have been developed and their successful application for ROS measurement using EPR has been published. These new state-of-the-art methods provide improved selectivity and sensitivity for in vitro and in vivo studies. CRITICAL ISSUES Although cyclic hydroxylamine spin probes EPR application has been previously described, there has been lack of translation of these new methods into biomedical research, limiting their widespread use. This work summarizes "best practice" in applications of cyclic hydroxylamine spin probes to assist with EPR studies of oxidative stress. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Additional studies to advance hydroxylamine spin probes from the "basic science" to biomedical applications are needed and could lead to better understanding of pathological conditions associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nitroxides are widely used in biology as antioxidants, spin labels, functional spin probes for pH, oxygen and thiol levels, and tissue redox status imaging using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR); however, biological applications of nitroxides is hindered by fast bioreduction to EPR-silent hydroxylamines and rapid clearance. In this work, we have studied pyrrolidine nitroxides with acetoxymethoxycarbonyl groups which can undergo hydrolysis by cellular esterases to hydrophilic carboxylate derivatives resistant to bioreduction. Nitroxides containing acetoxymethoxycarbonyl groups were rapidly absorbed by cells from the media, 3,4-bis-(acetoxymethoxycarbonyl)-proxyl (DCP-AM2) and 3-(2-(bis(2-(acetoxymethoxy)-2-oxoethyl)amino)acetamido)-proxyl (DCAP-AM2) showing the strongest EPR signal of the cellular fraction. Remarkably, the EPR parameters of 3,4-dicarboxy-proxyl (DCP) and its mono- and di-acetoxymethyl esters are different, and consequent intracellular hydrolysis of acetoxymethoxycarbonyl groups in DCP-AM2 can be followed by EPR. To elucidate intracellular location of the resultant DCP, the mitochondrial fraction has been isolated. EPR measurements showed that mitochondria were the main place where DCP was finally accumulated. TEMPO derivatives showed expectedly much faster decay of EPR signal in the cellular fraction, compared to pyrrolidine nitroxides. It was found that supplementation of endothelial cells with 50 nM of DCP-AM2 completely normalised the mitochondrial superoxide level. Moreover, administration of DCP-AM2 to mice (1.4 mg/kg/day) resulted in substantial nitroxide accumulation in the tissues and significantly reduced hypertension. We found that hydroxylamine derivatives of dicarboxyproxyl nitroxide DCP-AM-H can be used for the detection of superoxide in vivo in angiotensin II model of hypertension. Infusion of DCP-AM-H in mice leads to accumulation of persistent EPR signal of nitroxide in the blood and vascular tissue in angiotensin II-infused wild-type but not in SOD2 overexpressing mice. Our data demonstrate that acetoxymethoxycarbonyl group containing nitroxides accumulate in mitochondria and demonstrate site-specific antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Applicability of two lipophilic cyclic hydroxylamines (CHAs), CM-H and TMT-H, and two hydrophilic CHAs, CAT1-H and DCP-H, for detection of superoxide anion radical (O2(∙-)) produced by the thylakoid photosynthetic electron transfer chain (PETC) of higher plants under illumination has been studied. ESR spectrometry was applied for detection of the nitroxide radical originating due to CHAs oxidation by O2(∙-). CHAs and corresponding nitroxide radicals were shown to be involved in side reactions with PETC which could cause miscalculation of O2(∙-) production rate. Lipophilic CM-H was oxidized by PETC components, reducing the oxidized donor of Photosystem I, P700(+), while at the same concentration another lipophilic CHA, TMT-H, did not reduce P700(+). The nitroxide radical was able to accept electrons from components of the photosynthetic chain. Electrostatic interaction of stable cation CAT1-H with the membrane surface was suggested. Water-soluble superoxide dismutase (SOD) was added in order to suppress the reaction of CHA with O2(∙-) outside the membrane. SOD almost completely inhibited light-induced accumulation of DCP(∙), nitroxide radical derivative of hydrophilic DCP-H, in contrast to TMT(∙) accumulation. Based on the results showing that change in the thylakoid lumen pH and volume had minor effect on TMT(∙) accumulation, the reaction of TMT-H with O2(∙-) in the lumen was excluded. Addition of TMT-H to thylakoid suspension in the presence of SOD resulted in the increase in light-induced O2 uptake rate, that argued in favor of TMT-H ability to detect O2(∙-) produced within the membrane core. Thus, hydrophilic DCP-H and lipophilic TMT-H were shown to be usable for detection of O2(∙-) produced outside and within thylakoid membranes.

Abstract
The oxidant properties of the series of 2,2,5,5-tetraalkyl imidazoline and imidazolidine nitroxides were investigated. An increase in the number of bulky alkyl substituents leads to a decrease in the rate of reduction with ascorbate, which makes the electrochemical reduction potential more negative and shifts the equilibrium in the mixture of nitroxide and reference hydroxylamine (3-carboxy-1-hydroxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl-1-(15)N) toward the starting compounds. The effect of structural factors on these reactions was analyzed by means of multiple regression using the Fujita steric constant Es and the inductive Hammett constant σI. Satisfactory statistical outputs were obtained in all of the biparameter correlations, denoting that the oxidant properties of the nitroxides are determined by steric and electronic effects of the substituents. The data imply that bulky substituents can stabilize nitroxide and/or destabilize hydroxylamine.

Abstract
Accumulation of nitroxide radicals, DCP· or TMT·, under illumination of a thylakoid suspension containing either hydrophilic, DCP-H, or lipophilic, TMT-H, cyclic hydroxylamines that have high rate constants of the reaction with superoxide radicals, was measured using ESR. A slower accumulation of TMT· in contrast with DCP· accumulation was explained by re-reduction of TMT· by the carriers of the photosynthetic electron transport chain within the membrane. Superoxide dismutase suppressed TMT· accumulation to a lesser extent than DCP· accumulation. The data are interpreted as evidencing the production of intramembrane superoxide in thylakoids.
