    Abstract:
    Using the spin trap 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzene sulfonate (DBNBS), an oxidant was previously detected in the plasma of patients with renal failure and the synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis patients. This oxidant has been shown to react with DBNBS to give a 3-line electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum, previously assigned to the DBNBS radical cation (DBNBS*(+). However, confusion has arisen as to whether this paramagnetic species is indeed DBNBS*(+) or, rather, the DBNBS sulfite radical adduct (DBNBS-SO(3)*(-)). In the present study, DBNBS*(+) (a(N)=1.32 mT) was distinguished from DBNBS-SO(3)*(-) (a(N)=1.32 mT with an additional splitting of a(H)=0.06 mT) by (a) using different EPR parameters, (b) determining the effect of addition of sulfite on the EPR spectrum resulting from the incubation of DBNBS with either human biofluids or the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) system, and (c) replacing DBNBS with its analogues (DBNBS-d(2,) DBNBS-15N and DBNBS-d(2)-15N) in the two systems.
