Abstract
INTRODUCTION Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during oxidative stress is a hallmark of acute kidney injure (AKI), which induced the damage to the renal cells and mitochondrial injury. PURPOSE In this contribution, we prepared mitochondrial targeted nitroxide, which linked 3-carboxy-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine 1-oxyl (carboxy-PROXYL) with (2-aminoethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (TPP), named TPP-PROXYL to eliminate the ROS in situ and image the oxidative stress reaction by MRI. METHODS 2,7-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining, mitochondrial membrane potential assay (JC-1) staining and transmission electron microscope (TEM) experiments were processed to verify that TPP-PROXYL could target mitochondria, scavenge the ROS, and prevent damage to mitochondria in live cells. Contrast enhanced MRI also been used to monitor these redox reaction in AKI model. RESULTS TPP-PROXYL demonstrated excellent ROS T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enhancement in vitro and in vivo, with r1 value about 0.190 mM-1·s-1. In vivo AKI treatment experiments proved that TPP-PROXYL could improve the survival rate of mice and inhibit kidney damage. Moreover, the great ROS scavenging capability and the renal damage reduction during AKI treatment of TPP-PROXYL was verified via MR imaging technology. CONCLUSION Collectively, this research provides TPP-PROXYL would serve as a powerful platform to realize ROS scavenging, treatment and MR imaging of AKI.

Abstract
Significance:In vivo assessment of paramagnetic and diamagnetic conversions of nitroxyl radicals based on cyclic redox mechanism can be an index of tissue redox status. The redox mechanism of nitroxyl radicals, which enables their use as a normal tissue-selective radioprotector, is seen as being attractive on planning radiation therapy. Recent Advances:In vivo redox imaging using nitroxyl radicals as redox-sensitive contrast agents has been developed to assess tissue redox status. Chemical and biological behaviors depending on chemical structures of nitroxyl radical compounds have been understood in detail. Polymer types of nitroxyl radical contrast agents and/or nitroxyl radical-labeled drugs were designed for approaching theranostics. Critical Issues: Nitroxyl radicals as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have several advantages compared with those used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging, while support by EPR spectroscopy is important to understand information from MRI. Redox-sensitive paramagnetic contrast agents having a medicinal benefit, that is, nitroxyl-labeled drug, have been developed and proposed. Future Directions: A development of suitable nitroxyl contrast agent for translational theranostic applications with high reaction specificity and low normal tissue toxicity is under progress. Nitroxyl radicals as redox-sensitive magnetic resonance contrast agents can be a useful tool to detect an abnormal tissue redox status such as disordered oxidative stress. Antioxid.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and hydrogen peroxide play an important role in the maintenance of life. However, production of excessive ROS and/or deficiency of the antioxidant system lead to oxidative stress and cause a variety of diseases. In the present study, we used electron spin resonance (ESR) to detect ROS in vivo to clarify its roles in redox dynamics and organ damage. However, the limited permeability of microwaves and low anatomic resolution of ESR equipment made it difficult to apply clinically. Nitroxide is widely used as a sensitive redox sensor for in vivo ESR analysis. The unpaired electrons of nitroxide are known to cause the T1 relaxation time-shortening effect of water protons, creating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) effects. The remarkable development of MRI has facilitated the spatiotemporal analysis of nitroxide, which was previously impossible. In a rat model, we have been able to image and analyze the process of nitroxide reduction using MRI. MRI using nitroxide as a contrast medium is considered to be clinically applicable for evaluation of organ redox, imaging of ROS (which cause organ damage), and evaluation of therapeutic effects. In this review, we describe current advances in the analysis of in vivo redox capacity in animals using ESR and MRI equipment. We consider that redox evaluation using MRI can contribute to advances in clinical medicine.

Abstract
Various diseases are known to be associated with an imbalance of the redox state, but in vivo detection of free radicals is difficult. The purpose of this study is to establish a method for in vivo visualization of redox status by high-resolution whole-body MRI using nitroxide radicals. A redox-sensitive nitroxide probe, 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl (carbamoyl-PROXYL), was administered to rats intravenously, and in vivo T1-weighted MRI was performed to virtually visualize the redox status of various organs. In experiments using phantoms, a linear relationship between the MRI signal and the carbamoyl-PROXYL concentration persisted up to 80 mM. Among the phantoms, a sample containing 1 mM carbamoyl-PROXYL was readily identifiable. After intravenous injection of carbamoyl-PROXYL, whole-body T1-weighted MRI of the rat provided clear images with good spatial and temporal resolution. The signal intensities of four selected organs (heart, liver, kidney, and intestine) were analyzed quantitatively. The carbamoyl-PROXYL signal peaked and gradually declined due to reduction after intravenous injection. Among the four organs, the organ-specific reduction rate of carbamoyl-PROXYL was highest in the heart, followed by (in order) the liver, kidney, and intestine, and statistical analysis showed that the inter-organ differences were significant. In conclusion, T1-weighted carbamoyl-PROXYL-enhanced MRI provides excellent spatial and temporal imaging of carbamoyl-PROXYL distribution. Furthermore, it provides important functional information pertaining to blood flow and tissue redox activity in individual organs. MRI in combination with carbamoyl-PROXYL has potential clinical application for evaluation of redox activity in whole organs.

In vivo EPR pharmacokinetic evaluation of the redox status and the blood brain barrier permeability in the SOD1 G93A ALS rat model. Free Radic Biol Med 2017; 108:258-269.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder affecting the motor pathways of the central nervous system. Although a number of pathophysiological mechanisms have been described in the disease, post mortem and animal model studies indicate blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and elevated production of reactive oxygen species as major contributors to disease pathology. In this study, the BBB permeability and the brain tissue redox status of the SOD1G93A ALS rat model in the presymptomatic (preALS) and symptomatic (ALS) stages of the disease were investigated by in vivo EPR spectroscopy using three aminoxyl radicals with different cell membrane and BBB permeabilities, Tempol, 3-carbamoyl proxyl (3CP), and 3-carboxy proxyl (3CxP). Additionally, the redox status of the two brain regions previously implicated in disease pathology, brainstem and hippocampus, was investigated by spectrophotometric biochemical assays. The EPR results indicated that among the three spin probes, 3CP is the most suitable for reporting the intracellular redox status changes, as Tempol was reduced in vivo within minutes (t1/2 =2.0±0.5min), thus preventing reliable kinetic modeling, whereas 3CxP reduction kinetics gave divergent conclusions, most probably due to its membrane impermeability. It was observed that the reduction kinetics of 3CP in vivo, in the head of preALS and ALS SOD1G93A rats was altered compared to the controls. Pharmacokinetic modeling of 3CP reduction in vivo, revealed elevated tissue distribution and tissue reduction rate constants indicating an altered brain tissue redox status, and possibly BBB disruption in these animals. The preALS and ALS brain tissue homogenates also showed increased nitrilation, superoxide production, lipid peroxidation and manganese superoxide dismutase activity, and a decreased copper-zinc superoxide dismutase activity. The present study highlights in vivo EPR spectroscopy as a reliable tool for the investigation of changes in BBB permeability and for the unprecedented in vivo monitoring of the brain tissue redox status, as early markers of ALS.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) may regulate signaling, ion channels, transcription factors, and biosynthetic processes. ROS-related diseases can be due to either a shortage or an excess of ROS. RECENT ADVANCES Since the biological activity of ROS depends on not only concentration but also spatiotemporal distribution, real-time imaging of ROS, possibly in vivo, has become a need for scientists, with potential for clinical translation. New imaging techniques as well as new contrast agents in clinically established modalities were developed in the previous decade. CRITICAL ISSUES An ideal imaging technique should determine ROS changes with high spatio-temporal resolution, detect physiologically relevant variations in ROS concentration, and provide specificity toward different redox couples. Furthermore, for in vivo applications, bioavailability of sensors, tissue penetration, and a high signal-to-noise ratio are additional requirements to be satisfied. FUTURE DIRECTIONS None of the presented techniques fulfill all requirements for clinical translation. The obvious way forward is to incorporate anatomical and functional imaging into a common hybrid-imaging platform. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 24, 939-958.

Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to image the biodistribution of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the living body using an in vivo electron spin resonance (ESR) imaging system using a spin probe, 1-acetoxy-3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline (ACP) that produces ESR-detectable nitroxide upon reaction with ROS. METHODS Acute hepatic injury was induced in mice by priming with heat-killed Corynebacterium parvum followed by injection of a low dose of lipopolysaccharide. ACP was administered intravenously and an in vivo ESR imaging system was used to visualize hepatic oxidative stress. RESULTS In this immune-mediated hepatic injury model, significant oxidative stress was evident at 3 h after lipopolysaccharide administration before the onset of massive hepatic injury. ACP was administered intravenously at 3 h after lipopolysaccharide injection when significant hepatic oxidative stress had been observed, and the ESR imaging system detected a high signal for 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (carbamoyl-PROXYL), which had originated from the ACP-derived hydroxylamine and produced large amount of ROS within the living body. Using the ESR imaging system with ACP, we were able to visualize ROS in the abdomen before onset of hepatic injury. CONCLUSION We have succeeded in visualizing ROS within the body before onset of organ damage, representing a significant development in imaging for toxic molecules.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been the object of considerable biological and biochemical investigation. Quantification has been difficult although the quantitative level of products of biological oxidations in tissues and tissue products has emerged as a widely used technique. The relationship between these products and the amount of oxidative stress is less clear. Imaging oxidative stress with electron paramagnetic resonance related magnetic resonance imaging, while not addressing the specific issue of quantification of initiating events, focuses on the anatomic specific location of the oxidative stress. Moreover, the relative quantification of oxidative stress of one location against another is possible, sharpening our understanding of oxidative stress. This promises to improve our understanding of oxidative stress and its deleterious consequences and enhance our understanding of the effectiveness of interventions to modulate oxidative stress and its consequences.

Abstract
This study examined the blood brain barrier (BBB)-permeable nitroxyl compound, 3-methoxycarbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl (MC-PROXYL), as a spin probe for the assessment of oxidative stress in the brain by electron spin resonance (ESR) imaging and in vivo L-band ESR. Preliminary comparisons were made by ESR imaging of MC-PROXYL in the isolated brains of normal Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and stroke prone SHR (SHRSP). The decay of the ESR images of MC-PROXYL in the isolated brains was faster in SHR than in normal WKY, but was only moderate in SHRSP. In addition, the decay rate of MC-PROXYL in the heads of live rats, as measured noninvasively by L-band ESR, was faster in SHR than in WKY, and was slower in SHR than in SHRSP. Taken together, our data suggest that the oxidative stress of SHR is not as high as that in high oxidative stress animal models such as SHRSP. This is the first study to present reconstructed 3D images of the distribution of MC-PROXYL in the isolated SHR brain. The ESR technique employed herein appears to be a powerful tool for evaluating oxidative stress and for detecting the region of oxidative stress in the brain of SHR.

Abstract
SURF_ER is a method for spectral and spatial electron spin resonance measurements on the surface of large objects which extension is only restricted by the width of the pole gap of the magnet and the homogeneity of the magnetic field and not by the cavity dimensions. The application of several techniques like SURF_ER for spectroscopic measurements, SURF_ERM for spatial scanning and SURF_ERI for spatial measurements of the depth of the surface region are discussed and represented for the skin of a human being as an example.

Abstract
Real-time detection of free radicals generated within the body may contribute to clarify the pathophysiological role of free radicals in disease processes. Of the techniques available for studying the generation of free radicals in biological systems, electron spin resonance (ESR) has emerged as a powerful tool for detection and identification. This article begins with a review of spin trapping detection of oxygen-centered radicals using X-band ESR spectroscopy and then describes the detection of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals by the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide and ESR spectroscopy in the perfusate from isolated perfused rat livers subjected to ischemia/reperfusion. This article also reviews the current status of ESR for the in vivo detection of free radicals and in vivo imaging of exogenously administered free radicals. Moreover, we show that in vivo ESR-computed tomography with 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5, 5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl may be useful for noninvasive anatomical imaging and also for imaging of hepatic oxidative stress in vivo.

Abstract
To establish the usefulness of ESR-CT imaging with 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5, 5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyl (carbamoyl-PROXYL) in living animals, we investigated the tissue distribution of carbamoyl-PROXYL after i. v. injection. Ten minutes after injection of carbamoyl-PROXYL, its concentrations in the liver, spleen, kidney, and plasma were higher than those in the small intestine and stomach. However, the inter-organ differences in concentrations were not striking. We selected the liver as a representative organ and attempted to measure the concentration of carbamoyl-PROXYL in it after washing out all of the blood by in situ perfusion with saline. The ESR spectrum of the liver homogenate after complete blood washout revealed that the concentration of carbamoyl-PROXYL was significantly reduced. Thus, at this time, carbamoyl-PROXYL was distributed predominantly in the plasma and/or loosely attached to the surfaces of cells. We obtained high-quality ESR-CT images of the murine abdomen at a measurement time of 40 s and found that a high-intensity area of carbamoyl-PROXYL appeared in the liver and kidneys, indicating an abundant blood circulation. Although the organ specificity of carbamoyl-PROXYL was weak, we consider that ESR-CT imaging with carbamoyl-PROXYL will be a powerful new tool for non-invasive anatomic analysis of the liver and the kidneys.

Abstract
Resonators suitable for time-domain electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging at a radiofrequency capable of accommodating experimental animals such as mice are described. Design considerations included B(1) field homogeneity, optimal Q, spectral bandwidth, resonator ring-down, and sensitivity. Typically, a resonator with 25-mm diameter and 25-mm length was constructed by coupling 11 single loops in parallel with a separation of 2.5 mm. To minimize the resonator ring-down time and provide the necessary spectral bandwidth for in vivo imaging experiments, the Q was reduced predominantly by overcoupling. Capacitative coupling was utilized to minimize microphonic effects. The B(1) field in the resonator was mapped both radially and axially and found to be uniform and adequate for imaging studies. Imaging studies with phantom objects containing a narrow-line spin probe as well as in vivo objects administered with the spin probe show the suitability of these resonators for valid reproduction of the spin probe distribution in three dimensions. The fabrication of such resonators is simple and can be scaled up with relative ease to accommodate larger objects as well.
