چکیده
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, Spin Trapping, Free Radicals N-[tert-13C]Butyl C-phenyl nitrone (PBN-[tert-13C]) has been synthesized for an EPR spin trapping competition study. The newly synthesized PBN-[tert-13C] shows different 13C-hyperfine splitting constants (a13C) when it traps free radicals as compared to another 13C-labeled PBN analogue, N-tert-butyl C-phenyl [nitronyl-13C]nitrone (PBN-[nitronyl-13C]). The PBN[tert-13C] hydroxyl adduct gives a larger a13C value (5.14 G) as compared to the PBN-[nitronyl-13C] hydroxyl adduct (4.36 G). This gain of the a13C value decreases the chance of EPR signal overlap, thus providing a more resolved EPR spectrum when PBN-[tert-13C] is used as an internal standard for EPR spin trapping competition studies of hydroxyl radical formation.

متن کاملEPR Detection of the Superoxide Free Radical with the Nitrone Spin Traps DMPO and BMPO
acterizing free radicals in chemistry, biology and medicine, is detection by EPR spectroscopy. However, due to their high reactivity and short half-lives, direct EPR detection of many free radicals (e.g., superoxide, hydroxyl radical, alkyl radicals, etc.) is virtually impossible in solution at room temperature. Spin trapping is a technique developed in the late 1960s in which a nitrone or nitr...

We have synthesized the fluorine-I 8 labeled derivative of N-fert-butyl-aphenylnitrone (PBN), a free radical spin trapping agent widely used with electron spin resonance (ESR). N-tert-Butyl-a-(4-[18F]fluorophenyl)nitrone ([18F]FPBN) could be prepared with low radiochemical yield (3% decay corrected) by the direct aromatic nucleophilic substitution of N-tertbutyl-a-(4-nitrophenyl)nitrone with [1...

The electron spin resonance (EPR) spin-trapping technique allows detection of radical species with nanosecond half-lives. This technique is based on the high rates of addition of radicals to nitrones or nitroso compounds (spin traps; STs). The paramagnetic nitroxides (spin-adducts) formed as a result of reactions between STs and radical species are relatively stable compounds whose EPR spectra ...

1. The metabolic activation of carbon tetrachloride to free-radical intermediates is an important step in the sequence of disturbances leading to the acute liver injury produced by this toxic agent. Electron-spin-resonance (e.s.r.) spin-trapping techniques were used to characterize the free-radical species involved. 2. Spin trapping was applied to the activation of carbon tetrachloride by liver...
