Abstract
Herein, a carbon felt (CF) cathode modified by the acidic oxidised carbon nanotubes (OCNTs) exhibited a high yield of the H2O2 generation in electro-Fenton. Rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements showed that the selective generation of H2O2 occurred on the CF cathode coated by OCNTs (OCNTs/CF), which was attributed to the high amount of oxygen-containing functional groups in OCNTs. Moreover, the pollutant degradation efficiency could almost reach 100% within 60 min in electro-Fenton with OCNTs/CF as the cathode. Furthermore, the pollutant removal efficiency was kept constant after five consecutive cycles, indicating the high stability of OCNTs/CF cathode. Besides, the hydrophilicity of OCNTs/CF cathode was significantly enhanced owing to the abundant oxygen-contained functional groups on the surface of the OCNTs/CF cathode, which facilitated the mass transfer between the OCNTs/CF cathode and the reactants in the bulk solution. To reveal the possible mechanism in electro-Fenton equipped with the OCNTs/CF cathode, quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations were further conducted. This work provided valuable insights into the fabrication of the non-metallic cathode with a high ability towards H2O2 generation in electro-Fenton for efficient pollutant removal.

Abstract
Nitroxides are stable free radicals that have antioxidant properties. They react with many types of radicals, including alkyl and peroxyl radicals. They act as mimics of superoxide dismutase and stimulate the catalase activity of hemoproteins. In some situations, they may exhibit pro-oxidant activity, mainly due to the formation of oxoammonium cations as products of their oxidation. In this review, the cellular effects of nitroxides and their effects in animal experiments and clinical trials are discussed, including the beneficial effects in various pathological situations involving oxidative stress, protective effects against UV and ionizing radiation, and prolongation of the life span of cancer-prone mice. Nitroxides were used as active components of various types of nanoparticles. The application of these nanoparticles in cellular and animal experiments is also discussed.

Abstract
In the present paper, generation, detection and protection of reactive oxygen species (ROS)/free radicals in relation to the author's research over about 20 years are reviewed. ROS/free radicals are generally generated physically, chemically and biologically, and they are harmful to living organisms by inducing various disorders and diseases. To prevent the harmful effects of ROS/free radicals, antioxidants are believed to be useful. Among many methods to detect ROS/free radicals, ESR technique is a direct method and is described in detail in this review. Several topics such as the production of ROS/free radicals by low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma, the evaluation of antioxidant activity using hemolysis of erythrocytes and the protective effects of antioxidants against X-ray induced damage to mice, are presented.

Ascorbate attenuates cycling exercise-induced neuromuscular fatigue but fails to improve exertional dyspnea and exercise tolerance in COPD. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2021; 130:69-79. [PMID: 33151775 PMCID: PMC7944926 DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00611.2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
We examined the effect of intravenous ascorbate (VitC) administration on exercise-induced redox balance, inflammation, exertional dyspnea, neuromuscular fatigue, and exercise tolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Eight COPD patients completed constant-load cycling (∼80% of peak power output, 83 ± 10 W) to task failure after intravenous VitC (2 g) or saline (placebo, PL) infusion. All participants repeated the shorter of the two exercise trials (isotime) with the other infusate. Quadriceps fatigue was determined by pre- to postexercise changes in quadriceps twitch torque (ΔQtw, electrical femoral nerve stimulation). Corticospinal excitability before, during, and after exercise was assessed by changes in motor evoked potentials triggered by transcranial magnetic stimulation. VitC increased superoxide dismutase (marker for endogenous antioxidant capacity) by 129% and mitigated C-reactive protein (marker for inflammation) in the plasma during exercise but failed to alter the exercise-induced increase in lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) and free radicals [electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)-spectroscopy]. Although VitC did, indeed, decrease neuromuscular fatigue (ΔQtw: PL -29 ± 5%, VitC -23 ± 6%, P < 0.05), there was no impact on corticospinal excitability and time to task failure (∼8 min, P = 0.8). Interestingly, in terms of pulmonary limitations to exercise, VitC had no effect on perceived exertional dyspnea (∼8.5/10) and its determinants, including oxygen saturation ([Formula: see text]) (∼92%) and respiratory muscle work (∼650 cmH2O·s·min-1) (P > 0.3). Thus, although VitC facilitated indicators for antioxidant capacity, diminished inflammatory markers, and improved neuromuscular fatigue resistance, it failed to improve exertional dyspnea and cycling exercise tolerance in patients with COPD. As dyspnea is recognized to limit exercise tolerance in COPD, the otherwise beneficial effects of VitC may have been impacted by this unaltered sensation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We investigated the effect of intravenous vitamin C on redox balance, exertional dyspnea, neuromuscular fatigue, and exercise tolerance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Acute vitamin C administration increased superoxide dismutase (marker of antioxidant capacity) and attenuated fatigue development but failed to improve exertional dyspnea and exercise tolerance. These findings suggest that a compromised redox balance plays a critical role in the development of fatigue in COPD but also highlight the significance of exertional dyspnea as an important symptom limiting the patients' exercise tolerance.

Abstract
Historically, patients with localized soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities would undergo limb amputation. It was subsequently determined that the addition of radiation therapy (RT) delivered prior to (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) a limb-sparing surgical resection yielded equivalent survival outcomes to amputation in appropriate patients. Generally, neoadjuvant radiation offers decreased volume and dose of high-intensity radiation to normal tissue and increased chance of achieving negative surgical margins-but also increases wound healing complications when compared to adjuvant radiotherapy. This review elaborates on the current neoadjuvant/adjuvant RT approaches, wound healing complications in STS, and the potential application of novel radioprotective agents to minimize radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity.

Abstract
AIMS Evofosfamide (TH-302) is a hypoxia-activated prodrug (HAP) that releases the DNA-damaging bromo-isophosphoramide mustard (Br-IPM) moiety selectively under hypoxic conditions. Since solid tumors are known to have hypoxic regions, HAPs in combination with chemotherapy or radiotherapy (XRT) will be beneficial. We tested the oxygen dependence of release kinetics of Br-IPM using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) with spin trapping by monitoring redox cycling of the nitroimidazole moiety of TH-302, and oxygen dependence of TH-302 on in vitro cytotoxicity at different levels of hypoxia was also examined. Two tumor implants (SCCVII and HT29) in mice were studied. RESULTS TH-302 fragmentation to release Br-IPM was noticed at oxygen levels <76 mmHg, which increased with higher levels of hypoxia. Enhanced cellular cytotoxicity was also observed at oxygen levels <76 mmHg. In vivo pO2 imaging in the two tumor implants showed that the SCCVII tumor implant had higher level of hypoxia compared with the HT29 xenograft. TH-302 as a monotherapy in vivo showed modest effects in SCCVII implants and minimal effects in HT29 xenografts, whereas TH-302 in combination with ionizing radiation showed significant benefit in both tumor models. INNOVATION We examined the kinetics of redox cycling versus fragmentation of TH-302. The combination of oxygen-dependent XRT with TH-302 is effective even in tumors with significant hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS Imaging studies identifying the magnitude of hypoxia in tumors indicated that the responsiveness to TH-302 and the antitumor effect of TH-302 were enhanced by combining with XRT in both the TH-302-sensitive SCCVII tumor and -resistant HT29 tumor.

Abstract
Nitroxides are stable free radicals that contain a nitroxyl group with an unpaired electron. In this paper, we present the properties and application of nitroxides as antioxidants and anticancer drugs. The mostly used nitroxides in biology and medicine are a group of heterocyclic nitroxide derivatives of piperidine, pyrroline and pyrrolidine. The antioxidant action of nitroxides is associated with their redox cycle. Nitroxides, unlike other antioxidants, are characterized by a catalytic mechanism of action associated with a single electron oxidation and reduction reaction. In biological conditions, they mimic superoxide dismutase (SOD), modulate hemoprotein’s catalase-like activity, scavenge reactive free radicals, inhibit the Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions and suppress the oxidation of biological materials (peptides, proteins, lipids, etc.). The use of nitroxides as antioxidants against oxidative stress induced by anticancer drugs has also been investigated. The application of nitroxides and their derivatives as anticancer drugs is discussed in the contexts of breast, hepatic, lung, ovarian, lymphatic and thyroid cancers under in vivo and in vitro experiments. In this article, we focus on new natural spin-labelled derivatives such as camptothecin, rotenone, combretastatin, podophyllotoxin and others. The applications of nitroxides in the aging process, cardiovascular disease and pathological conditions were also discussed.

Abstract
Enterococcus faecalis is a human intestinal commensal that produces extracellular superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical while colonizing the intestinal tract. To determine whether dietary factors implicated in colorectal cancer affect oxidant production by E. faecalis, radicals were measured in rats colonized with this microorganism while on diets supplemented with iron or phytic acid. Hydroxyl radical activity was measured by assaying for aromatic hydroxylation products of D-phenylalanine using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. In vitro, as expected, iron enhanced, and phytic acid decreased, hydroxyl radical formation by E. faecalis. For rats colonized with E. faecalis given supplemental dietary iron (740 mg elemental iron as ferric phosphate per kg diet) or phytic acid (1.2% w/w), no differences were found in concentrations of urinary ortho- or meta- isomers of D-phenylalanine compared to rats on a basal diet. Aqueous radicals in colonic contents were further assessed ex vivo by electron spin resonance using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as a spin trap. Mixtures of thiyl (sulfur-centered) and oxygen-centered radicals were detected across all diets. In vitro, similar spectra were observed when E. faecalis was incubated with hydrogen sulfide, air-oxidized cysteine, or an alkylsulfide, as typical sulfur-containing compounds that might occur in colonic contents. In conclusion, intestinal colonization with E. faecalis in a rat model generates both thiyl and oxygen-centered radicals in colonic contents. Radical formation, however, was not significantly altered by short-term dietary supplementation with iron or phytic acid.

Abstract
Copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C-H/N-H coupling between simple ketones and diamines was developed toward the synthesis of a variety of pyrazines. Various substituted ketones were compatible for this transformation. Preliminary mechanistic investigations indicated that radical species were involved. X-ray absorption fine structure experiments elucidated that the Cu(II) species 5 coordinated by two N atoms at a distance of 2.04 Å and two O atoms at a shorter distance of 1.98 Å was a reactive one for this aerobic oxidative coupling reaction. Density functional theory calculations suggested that the intramolecular coupling of cationic radicals was favorable in this transformation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), have a diverse array of physiological and pathological effects within living cells depending on the extent, timing, and location of their production. For measuring ROS production in cells, the ESR spin trapping technique using cyclic nitrones distinguishes itself from other methods by its specificity for superoxide and hydroxyl radical. However, several drawbacks, such as the low spin trapping rate and the spontaneous and cell-enhanced decomposition of the spin adducts to ESR-silent products, limit the application of this method to biological systems. Recently, new cyclic nitrones bearing a triphenylphosphonium (Mito-DIPPMPO) or a permethylated β-cyclodextrin moiety (CD-DIPPMPO) have been synthesized and their spin adducts demonstrated increased stability in buffer. In this study, a comparison of the spin trapping efficiency of these new compounds with commonly used cyclic nitrone spin traps, i.e., 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), and analogs BMPO, DEPMPO, and DIPPMPO, was performed on RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Our results show that Mito-DIPPMPO and CD-DIPPMPO enable a higher detection of superoxide adduct, with a low (if any) amount of hydroxyl adduct. CD-DIPPMPO, especially, appears to be a superior spin trap for extracellular superoxide detection in living macrophages, allowing measurement of superoxide production in unstimulated cells for the first time. The main rationale put forward for this extreme sensitivity is that the extracellular localization of the spin trap prevents the reduction of the spin adducts by ascorbic acid and glutathione within cells.

Abstract
Nitrone therapeutics has been employed in the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases such as neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease and cancer. The nitrone-based compound NXY-059, which is the first drug to reach clinical trials for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, has provided promise for the development of more robust pharmacological agents. However, the specific mechanism of nitrone bioactivity remains unclear. In this review, we present a variety of nitrone chemistry and biological activity that could be implicated for the nitrone's pharmacological activity. The chemistries of spin trapping and spin adduct reveal insights on the possible roles of nitrones for altering cellular redox status through radical scavenging or nitric oxide donation, and their biological effects are presented. An interdisciplinary approach towards the development of novel synthetic antioxidants with improved pharmacological properties encompassing theoretical, synthetic, biochemical and in vitro/in vivo studies is covered.

Abstract
Spin trapping of hydroperoxyl radical (HOO.) by the amide-linked conjugate of 5-carbamoyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (AMPO) to β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was studied computationally using a two-layered ONIOM method. From a conformational perspective, the "internal" conformation of 5R-β-CD-AMPO is more favored than the "external" conformation in which the nitrone is located outside of the cavity of the β-CD. When the HOO. addition product is formed, the most stable isomer has the nitroxyl (N1-O1) moiety pointing inside the cavity of the β-CD. Thus, this "internal" conformation might protect the N1-O1 moiety of the resulting spin adduct from access by reducing agents, thereby improving the lifetime of the radical adduct. The computed energetic barrier for HOO. addition to the 5R-β-CD-AMPO is 8.7 kcal/mol, which is marginally smaller than spin trapping by the non-conjugated AMPO (that is, without the β-CD). To optimize the reactivity of the β-CD-AMPO conjugate, the effect of a spacer unit between the AMPO segment and the β-CD moiety with varying methylene units, (CH2) n (n = 1, 2, 3), on the energetics of HOO. addition was evaluated. The structure with only one methylene spacer (n = 1) appears to be optimal as determined by the smaller activation barrier (6.2 kcal/mol) for HOO. addition to the nitrone moiety. Compared with very time-consuming quantum mechanical methods, the ONIOM method appears to offer significant advantages for evaluation of the best β-CD-AMPO conjugate for trapping of such reactive oxygen species and providing for the rational design of novel nitrones as spin traps.

Abstract
Despite the major impact of ROS on human health, their quantification remains difficult and requires an analytical approach, such as the EPR spin trap technique. In this study, a comparative EPR analysis of different macrophage types stimulated for superoxide and nitric oxide production was performed. U937 monocytes, J774A.1, RAW 264.7 and primary mouse (PMM) macrophages were included. In contrast to the U937 cells, all macrophages produced significant EPR signals after stimulation. The use of PMA as stimulator and CM-H as spin probe led to the highest response in EPR signals for detection of O(2)(.-) as nitroxide radical. A combination of LPS and IFN-gamma and the spin trap [Fe(DETC)(2)] turned out to be the best combination for the production and detection of intracellular NO spin adducts. In conclusion, this study established practical experimental conditions for the EPR analysis of O(2)(.-) and NO produced by different types of activated macrophages.

Abstract
Cyclic nitrones have been employed for decades as spin trapping reagents for the detection and identification of transient radicals, and have been employed as pharmacological agent against ROS-mediated toxicity. The short half-life of the nitrone-superoxide adducts limits the application of nitrones in biological millieu, and therefore investigaton of the redox properties of the superoxide adducts is important. Moreover, computational investigation of the redox properties of the nitrones and their corresponding spin adducts may provide new insights into the nature of their pharmacological activity against ROS-induced toxicity. In general, electron-withdrawing group substitution at the C-5 position results in higher EAs and IPs making these substituted nitrones more susceptible to reduction but more difficult to oxidize compared to DMPO. One-electron reduction and oxidation of nitrones both resulted in elongated N-C(2) bonds indicating the tendency of radical anion and cation forms of nitrone to undergo ring-opening. The EAs and IPs of various O(2)(*-) adducts indicate that DEPMPO-O(2)H is the most difficult to reduce and oxidize compared to the O(2)(*-) adducts of DMPO, EMPO, and AMPO. In general, nitroxides gave higher EAs compared to nitrones making them more suceptible to reduction. One-electron oxidation of nitroxides leads to elongation of the N-C(2) bond but not for their reduction. The energetics of redox reaction of O(2)(*-) adducts was also explored. Results indicate that the reduction of O(2)(*-) adducts with O(2)(*-) is preferred followed by their oxidation by O(2) and then by O(2)(*-), but the maximum difference between these free energies of redox reactions in aqueous solution is only 0.21 kcal/mol. The preferred decomposition pathways for the one-electron oxidation and reduction of nitroxides was also explored, and formation of potentially biologically active products such as NO, H(2)O(2), and hydroxamic acid was predicted.

A novel Cu-catalyzed oxidative amidation-diketonization reaction of terminal alkynes leading to alpha-ketoamides has been developed. This chemistry offers a valuable mechanistic insight into this novel Cu catalysis via a radical process. O(2) not only participates as the ideal oxidant but also undergoes dioxygen activation under ambient conditions in this transformation.

Abstract
The effect nitric oxide (NO*) on the stability of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) adducts has been investigated using EPR spectroscopy. We report that the DMPO/HO* adduct, generated by porcine pulmonary artery endothelial cells in the presence of H2O2 and DMPO, or by a Fenton system (Fe(II)+H2O2) is degraded in the presence of the NO*-donor, 2-(N,N-diethylamino)-diazenolate-2-oxide (DEANO) or by bolus addition of an aqueous solution of NO*. A similar effect of DEANO was observed on other DMPO adducts, such as DMPO/*CH3 and DMPO/*CH(CH3)OH, generated in cell-free systems. Measurements of the loss of DMPO/HO* in the presence of DEANO in aerated and oxygen-free buffers showed that in both of these settings the process obeys first-order kinetics and proceeds with similar efficacy. This indicates that direct interaction of the nitroxide with NO*, rather than with NO2* (formed from NO* and O2 in aerated media), is responsible for destruction of the spin adduct. These results suggest that the presence of NO* may substantially affect the quantitative determination of DMPO adducts. We also show that NO2* radicals, generated by a myeloperoxidase/H2O2/nitrite system, also degrade DMPO/HO*. Because DMPO is frequently used to study generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals in biological systems, these observations indicate that extra caution is required when studying generation of these species in the presence of NO* or NO2* radicals.

Abstract
The detection and quantitation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) receives a great deal of interest because of their importance in a wide range of physiological and pathogenic events. Probe-assisted spectroscopy (electron spin resonance, spectrophotometry, fluorescence and luminescence) is the main tool for this application. This review discusses the properties of spectroscopic probes most commonly used for ROS detection and highlights their limitations in cellular systems. These include poor stability of some probes and/or products that may be subjected to cellular metabolism and lack of specificity in their reactions with oxidants or reductants. Additional problems often arise from undesired reactions of the probes and from their non-homogeneous distribution in the studied system, production of ROS by the probes themselves, perturbation of the systems under investigation by the probes, and artifacts due to the presence of ROS in the reaction medium. The limits imposed by these difficulties on the precise evaluation of the amounts and rates of formation of ROS are discussed critically.

Abstract
We compared three 3-substituted 2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-N-oxyls (PROXYLs): carbamoyl-, methoxycarbonyl-, and hydroxymethyl-PROXYL (CM-, MC-, and HM-PROXYL, respectively) with respect to radioprotection, prevention of DNA damage, and in vivo distribution in mice. The PROXYLs provided protection to C3H mice against lethal X-irradiation (8 Gy) with the following order of magnitude, HM- > CM- approximately MC-PROXYL. In contrast, radioprotection at the cellular level assessed by the colony formation of leukemia cell line L5178Y showed no difference among them. The degree of protection from X ray-induced oxidation of DNA bases measured by the formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in salmon DNA and the cleavage of DNA measured by electrophoresis of plasmid pBR322 DNA did not differ among the PROXYLs. Redox potentials were also similar for each. However, the blood concentration of the PROXYLs injected ip into the mice showed different maximum concentrations (HM- > CM- approximately MC-PROXYL), although all reached a maximum at around 5-10 min and gradually decreased thereafter. Their concentration in bone marrow showed a similar pattern, suggesting that the difference in in vivo radioprotection among the three PROXYLs is due to the difference in their distribution to bone marrow. In general, the radioprotection provided by stable nitroxides is affected not only by redox potential and reactivity in vitro but also by pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
Quantitative 31P NMR spin trapping techniques can be used as effective tools for the detection and quantification of many free radical species. Free radicals react with a nitroxide phosphorus compound, 5-diisopropoxy-phosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DIPPMPO), to form stable radical adducts, which are suitably detected and accurately quantified using (31)P NMR in the presence of phosphorus containing internal standards. Initially, the 31P NMR signals for the radical adducts of oxygen-centered (*OH, O2*-) and carbon-centered (*CH3, *CH2OH, CH2*CH2OH) radicals were assigned. Subsequently, the quantitative reliability of the developed technique was demonstrated under a variety of experimental conditions. The 31P NMR chemical shifts for the hydroxyl and superoxide reaction adducts with DIPPMPO were found to be 25.3, 16.9, and 17.1 ppm (in phosphate buffer), respectively. The 31P NMR chemical shifts for *CH3, *CH2OH, *CH(OH)CH3, and *C(O)CH3 spin adducts were 23.1, 22.6, 27.3, and 30.2 ppm, respectively. Overall, this effort forms the foundations for a targeted understanding of the nature, identity, and mechanisms of radical activity in a variety of biomolecular processes.

Abstract
Tempol is an amphipathic radical nitroxide (N) that acutely reduces blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). We investigated the hypothesis that the response to nitroxides is determined by SOD mimetic activity or lipophilicity. Groups ( n = 6–10) of anesthetized SHRs received graded intravenous doses of Ns: tempol (T), 4-amino-tempo (AT), 4-oxo-tempo (OT), 4-trimethylammonium-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl iodide (CAT-1), 3-carbamoyl-proxyl (3-CP), or 3-carboxy-proxyl (3-CTPY). Others received native or liposomal (L) Cu/Zn SOD. T and OT are uncharged, AT is positively charged and cell-permeable, and CAT-1 is positively charged and cell-impermeable. 3-CP and 3-CTPY have five-member pyrrolidine rings, whereas T, AT, OT, and CAT-1 have six-member piperidine rings. T and AT reduced mean arterial pressure (MAP) similarly (−48 ± 2 mmHg and −55 ± 8 mmHg) but more ( P < 0.05) than OT and CAT-1. 3-CP and 3-CTPY were ineffective. The group mean change in MAP with piperidine Ns correlated with SOD activity ( r = −0.94), whereas their ED50correlated with lipophilicity ( r = 0.89). SOD and L-SOD did not lower BP acutely but reduced it after 90 min (−32 ± 5 and −31 ± 6 mmHg; P < 0.05 vs. vehicle). Pyrrolidine nitroxides are ineffective antihypertensive agents. The antihypertensive response to piperidine Ns is predicted by SOD mimetic action, and the sensitivity of response is by hydrophilicity. SOD exerts a delayed hypotensive action that is not enhanced by liposome encapsulation, suggesting it must diffuse to an extravascular site.

Abstract
Because short-lived reactive oxygen radicals such as superoxide have been implicated in a variety of disease processes, methods to measure their production quantitatively in biological systems are critical for understanding disease pathophysiology. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping is a direct and sensitive technique that has been used to study radical formation in biological systems. Short-lived oxygen free radicals react with the spin trap and produce paramagnetic adducts with much higher stability than that of the free radicals. In many cases, the quantity of the measured adduct is considered to be an adequate measure of the amount of the free radical generated. Although the intensity of the EPR signal reflects the magnitude of free radical generation, the actual quantity of radicals produced may be different due to modulation of the spin adduct kinetics caused by a variety of factors. Because the kinetics of spin trapping in biochemical and cellular systems is a complex process that is altered by the biochemical and cellular environment, it is not always possible to define all of the reactions that occur and the related kinetic parameters of the spin-trapping process. We present a method based on a combination of measured kinetic data for the formation and decay of the spin adduct alone with the parameters that control the kinetics of spin trapping and radical generation. The method is applied to quantitate superoxide trapping with 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO). In principle, this method is broadly applicable to enable spin trapping-based quantitative determination of free radical generation in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Plant plasma membranes are known to produce superoxide radicals, while the production of hydroxyl radical is thought to occur only in the cell wall. In this work it was demonstrated using combined spin-trap and spin-probe EPR spectroscopic techniques, that plant plasma membranes do produce superoxide and hydroxyl radicals but by kinetically different mechanisms. The results show that superoxide and hydroxyl radicals can be detected by DMPO spin-trap and that the mechanisms and location of their production can be differentiated using the reduction of spin-probes Tempone and 7-DS. It was shown that the mechanism of production of oxygen reactive species is NADH dependent and diphenylene iodonium inhibited. The kinetics of the reduction of Tempone, combined with scavengers or the absence of NADH indicates that hydroxyl radicals are produced by a mechanism independent of that of superoxide production. It was shown that a combination of the spin-probe and spin-trap technique can be used in free radical studies of biological systems, with a number of advantages inherent to them.

Abstract
Oxovanadium(IV) complexes of hydroxysalen derivatives have been prepared and tested as DNA reactive agents. The nuclease activity has been investigated under oxidative or reducing conditions, on the basis of the various oxidation states of vanadium: V(III), V(IV) and V(V). In the absence of an activating agent, none of the compounds tested was able to induce cleavage of DNA, whereas in the presence of mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) or Oxone the four complexes induced DNA modifications. Under both conditions, the para-hydroxy complex was found to be the most active compound. Reaction of these salen complexes with DNA occurs essentially at guanine residues and is more efficient in the presence of Oxone than under reducing conditions. The extent of Oxone-mediated DNA oxidation by the four vanadyl complexes was clearly superior to VOSO(4) and was observed without piperidine treatment. EPR studies provided information on the reactive metal-oxo species involved under each conditions and a mechanism of reaction with DNA is discussed.

Abstract
The levels of different reactive species, especially those of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite, were determined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat tissues, before the development of histopathological damages. Significantly higher steady state free radical concentrations were found in the liver 3 weeks after the onset of diabetes compared to age-matched control groups. Increased nitric oxide levels in diabetic vasculature and kidney decreased the production of detectable reactive oxygen species. High peroxynitrite generation suggested the onset of processes characteristic to premature aging of the endothelium. According to the histopathological results, there were no signs of late complications in the tissues up to 7 weeks after induction of diabetes. These results support the idea that oxidative stress is increased at a very early stage of diabetes and, in particular, that high levels of nitric oxide and peroxynitrite could play a decisive role in the development of late complications in the diabetic vasculature and kidney.

Abstract
The kinetics of the reaction between superoxide and the spin trapping agents 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO), and 5-tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (BMPO) were re-examined in the superoxide-generating xanthine/xanthine oxidase system, by competition with spontaneous dismutation. The approach used singular value decomposition (SVD), multiple linear regression, and spectral simulation. The experiments were carried out using a two-syringe mixing arrangement with fast scan acquisition of 100 consecutive EPR spectra. Using SVD analysis, the extraction of both temporal and spectral information could be obtained from in a single run. The superoxide spin adduct was the exclusive EPR active species in the case of DEPMPO and BMPO, and the major component when DMPO was used. In the latter case a very low concentration of hydroxyl adduct was also observed, which did not change during the decay of the DMPO-superoxide adduct. This indicates that the hydroxyl radical adduct is not formed from the spontaneous decay of the superoxide radical adduct, as has been previously suggested [correction]. It was established that in short-term studies (up to 100 s) DMPO was the superior spin trapping agent, but for reaction times longer than 100 s the other two spin traps were more advantageous. The second order rate constants for the spin trapping reaction were found to be DMPO (2.4 M(-1)s(-1)), DEPMPO (0.53 M(-1)s(-1)), and BMPO (0.24 M(-1)s(-1)) determined through competition with spontaneous dismutation of superoxide, at pH 7.4 and 20 degrees C.

Abstract
Stable free radical nitroxides are potent antioxidants possessing superoxide dismutase- and catalase-mimetic activity that protect cells and animals against a variety of oxidative insults. Tempol, as a representative nitroxide, was evaluated for its influence on weight maintenance and spontaneous tumor incidence in C3H mice. Tempol administered in either the drinking water or food did not show any untoward effects and prevented animals from becoming obese. Tempol-treated animals' leptin levels were reduced. Long-term treatment with Tempol significantly decreased tumorigenesis when compared to controls (10 vs. 40%, respectively). Selected tissues from Tempol-treated animals exhibited elevated levels of mitochrondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP-2) and HSP70. The present data suggest that nitroxides upregulate UCP-2, obviate weight gain, and decrease age-related spontaneous tumor incidence. As a class, nitroxides may provide overall health benefits by contributing to decreased obesity and tumor incidence.

Abstract
A novel cyclic nitrone spin trap, 5-tert-butoxycarbonyl 5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (BMPO) as a pure white solid has been synthesized for the first time. BMPO offers several advantages over the existing spin traps in the detection and characterization of thiyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anions in biological systems. The corresponding BMPO adducts exhibit distinct and characteristic electron spin resonance (ESR) spectral patterns. Unlike the 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO)-derived superoxide adduct, the BMPO superoxide adduct does not non-enzymatically decompose to the BMPO hydroxyl adduct. This feature is clearly perceived as a definite advantage of BMPO in its biological applications. In addition, the ESR spectrum of the BMPO glutathionyl adduct (BMPO/*SG) does not fully overlap with the spectrum of its hydroxyl adduct. This spectral feature is again distinctly different from that of DMPO because the ESR spectral lines of DMPO glutathionyl and hydroxyl radical adducts largely overlap. Finally, the ESR spectra of BMPO-derived adducts exhibit a much higher signal-to-noise ratio in biological systems. These favorable chemical and spectroscopic features make BMPO ideal for the detection of superoxide anions, hydroxyl and thiyl radicals in biochemical oxidation and reduction.

Abstract
Nitroxide stable free radicals exhibit varied chemical and biological properties. Their biological applications have been greatly expanded over the past few years. Not only have they been shown to exhibit potent antioxidant and radioprotective properties, but also they can serve as in vivo functional imaging probes that non-invasively report on the oxygen status and redox properties of tissue, which may have utility in clinical biomedical research.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species play critical roles in a number of physiologic and pathologic processes. Nitroxides are stable free radical compounds that possess superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity and have been shown to protect against the toxicity of reactive oxygen species in vitro and in vivo. Tempol, a cell-permeable hydrophilic nitroxide, protects against oxidative stress and also is an in vitro and in vivo radioprotector. In the course of evaluating the pharmacology and toxicity of the nitroxides, Tempol and another nitroxide, 3-carbamoyl-PROXYL (3-CP), were administered intravenously in various concentrations to miniature swine. Tempol caused dose-related hypotension accompanied by reflex tachycardia and increased skin temperature. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring with Swan Ganz catheterization (SGC) confirmed the potent vasodilative effect of Tempol. However, 3-CP had no effect on porcine blood pressure. The hemodynamic effects of Tempol and 3-CP are discussed in the context of differential catalytic rate constants for superoxide disumation that may impact systemic nitric oxide (NO) levels and lead to vasodilation. These findings are consistent with a role for the superoxide ion in the modulation of blood pressure and have potential implications for the systemic use of nitroxides.

Abstract
Free radical generation was studied by the electron spin resonance (ESR) technique using alpha-phenyl N tert butyl nitrone (PBN) in a brief ischemia-reperfusion model of the canine heart, and correlated with biochemical changes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). ESR spectra (aH=0.3-0.4mT, aN=1.43-1.58mT) were observed as PBN spin adducts, which peaked at levels 5-fold above the control levels at 5 min after reperfusion. The simulated coupling constants of PBN spin adducts suggested that the sample should contain at least 2 carbon-centered radicals at 5 min after reperfusion (radical A: aH=0.350mT, aN=1.485mT; radical B: aH=0.370mT, aN=1.615 mT). At this time point, a significant reduction in Ca-ATPase activity of the SR was found without degradation of the major ATPase protein. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) significantly reduced the intensity of the PBN spin adduct signals and preserved the Ca-ATPase activity of the SR to 80% of the control level. Reperfusion injury after brief ischemia may be the result of inactivation of intracellular Ca-ATPase by free radicals generated during reperfusion, and SOD contributes to the protective effect by scavenging the radicals.

Abstract
The present study tested the hypothesis that maternal hypoxia induces oxygen free radical generation in the fetal guinea pig brain utilizing techniques of electron spin resonance spectroscopy and alpha-phenyl-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) spin trapping. Pregnant guinea pigs of 60 days gestation were divided into normoxic and hypoxic groups and exposed to 21% or 7% oxygen for 60 min. Free radical generation was documented by measuring the signal of PBN spin adducts. Fluorescent compounds were determined as an index of lipid peroxidation and the activity of Na+,K+-ATPase was determined as an index of brain cell membrane function. Hypoxic fetal cerebral cortical tissue showed a significant increase in spin adducts (normoxic: 33.8+/-9.3 units/g tissue vs. hypoxic: 57.9+/-9.2 units/g tissue, p<0.01) and fluorescent compounds (normoxic: 0.639+/-0.054 microg quinine sulfate/g brain vs. 0.810+/-0.102 microg quinine sulfate/g brain, p<0.01) and a decrease in Na+,K+-ATPase activity (normoxic: 43.04+/-2.50 micromol Pi/mg protein/h vs. hypoxic: 33. 80+/-3.51 micromol Pi/mg protein/h, p<0.001). These results demonstrate an increased free radical generation during hypoxia in the fetal guinea pig brain. The spectral characteristics of the radicals were consistent with those of alkoxyl radicals. The increased level of fluorescent compounds and decreased activity of Na+,K+-ATPase indicated hypoxia induced brain cell membrane lipid peroxidation and dysfunction, respectively. These results directly demonstrate an increased oxygen free radical generation during hypoxia and suggest that hypoxia-induced increase in lipid peroxidation and decrease in membrane function, as indicated by a decrease in Na+,K+-ATPase activity, are consequences of increased free radicals. The nature of predominantly present alkoxyl radical indicates ongoing lipid peroxidation during hypoxia. The direct demonstration of oxygen free radical generation during hypoxia is the critical missing link in the mechanism of hypoxia-induced brain cell membrane dysfunction and damage.

Abstract
The unique anti-oxidative activity of nitroxide radicals protecting against reactive oxygen-derived species (ROS) has been recently demonstrated in several model systems. The present study focuses on the activity of nitroxide and of its reduced form in cultured rat ventricular cardiomyocytes exposed to O2.- and H2O2 generated by hypoxanthine (HX) and xanthine oxidase (XO). To evaluate cell injury, spontaneous beating, leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and depletion of cellular ATP were determined. The protective effect of 4-OH-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-N-oxyl (TPL) was compared with that of 4-OH-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-hydroxypiperidine (TPL-H) and of several common anti-oxidants. A rapid exchange between TPL and TPL-H, is mediated by cellular metabolism and through reactions with ROS. In particular, TPL under O2.- flux is oxidized to oxo-ammonium cation (TPL+) which comproportionates with TPL-H yielding two nitroxide radicals. Because this exchange limits the distinction between the biological activities of TPL and TPL-H, NADH which can reduce TPL+ was included in order to maintain the nitroxide in its reduced form. The results demonstrate that both TPL and TPL-H protect cardiomyocytes against beating loss and LDH leakage. Conversely, cellular ATP depletion induced by HX/XO is inhibited by TPL-H, though not by TPL, suggesting that different mechanisms underlie their protective activities. Through a flip-flop between the two forms, which coexist in the system, the levels of TPL-H and TPL are continuously replenished. The conversion, upon reaction, of each antioxidant into the other one enables them, contrary to common antioxidants which operate in a stoichiometric mode, to act catalytically.
