    Abstract:
    We report here the detection and characterization of spin adducts formed from the trapping of reactive oxygen species (superoxide and hydroxyl radicals) and glutathiyl and carbon-centered radicals by a newly synthesized nitrone, Mito-DEPMPO. This is a cationic nitrone spin trap with a triphenyl phosphonium cation conjugated to the DEPMPO analogue. The Mito-DEPMPO-OOH adduct, formed from the trapping of superoxide by Mito-DEPMPO, was enzymatically generated using xanthine/xanthine oxidase and neuronal nitric oxide synthase, and chemically generated by KO2 in 18-crown-6. The Mito-DEPMPO-OOH adduct exhibits an eight-line EPR spectrum with partial asymmetry arising from the alternate line-width effect. The half-life of the Mito-DEPMPO-OOH adduct is 2-2.5-times greater than that of the DEPMPO-OOH. The Mito-DEPMPO-SG adduct, formed from the trapping of glutathiyl radicals by Mito-DEPMPO, is 3-times more persistent than the analogue DEPMPO-SG adduct. In this study, we describe the EPR characterization of spin adducts formed from Mito-DEPMPO. The EPR parameters of Mito-DEPMPO adducts are distinctly different and highly characteristic. The detection of superoxide from an intact mitochondrion was feasible with Mito-DEPMPO but not with DEPMPO. We conclude that Mito-DEPMPO nitrone and its analogues are more effective than most nitrone spin traps for trapping superoxide, hydroxyl, and thiyl radicals formed in biological systems, including mitochondria.
