DMPO
DMPO is a kind of water soluble nitric oxide spin trap, which allows the measurement of oxygen-centered free radicals in biological systems at room temperature using electron spin resonance (ESR). [1]
It has a high reaction rate constant for superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, and distinguishes simultaneously among a variety of important biologically generated free radicals. [1][2]
In vitro, It was demonstrated in red blood cells and in hamster V79 cells that the DMPO spin adducts of ·O2− and ·OH are metabolized very rapidly so that even if formed, they may not be detected in many experiments with cells.[1]
In vivo, when DMPO perfused the heart at 100 μm/L, it attenuated the development of reperfusion arrhythmias during the first 10 min of reperfusion and improved the functional recovery of the heart during reperfusion. Without treatment, 55% of hearts showed irreversible ventricular fibrillation, and this was completely prevented by DMPO, due to its function of traping·O2− and ·OH radicals.[2]
