- Abstract
Oxidative damage from reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the carbon-centred radicals arising from them is important to the process of aging, and age-related diseases are generally caused, exacerbated or mediated by oxidative stress. Nitrones can act as spin traps to detect, identify, quantify and locate the radicals responsible using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR or ESR) spectroscopy, and a new carnitine-derived nitrone, CarnDOD-7C, designed to accumulate in mitochondria is reported. Nitrones also have potential as therapeutic antioxidants, e.g. for slowing cellular aging, and as tools for chemical biology. Two low-molecular weight nitrones, DIPEGN-2 and DIPEGN-3, are reported, which combine high water-solubility with high lipophilicity and obey Lipinski's rule of five.
