4-carboxy TEMPO is a nitroxide and spin label. Nitroxides such as 4-carboxy TEMPO react with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and can be used with electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to monitor ROS production in vivo., It has also been used to study flavin-photosensitized damage in inner mitochondrial membranes.
MitoTEMPO is a mitochondria-targeted superoxide dismutase mimetic that possesses superoxide and alkyl radical scavenging properties.[1] This compound combines the antioxidant piperidine nitroxide TEMPO with the lipophilic cation triphenylphosphonium, which allows it to pass through lipid bilayers and accumulate in mitochondria. Mitochondrial targeting of superoxide scavenging via mitoTEMPO has been examined for potential therapeutic benefit to a variety of mitochondrial dysfunctions arising from excessive reactive oxygen species.[2][3][4]
16:0-12 Doxyl PC (1-Palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-(12-doxyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) 是一种用于荧光猝灭的化合物,其结构中特征性的氮氧化物位于 sn-2 链的下游。16:0-12 Doxyl PC 对深埋于双层烃区域的荧光团具有出色的猝灭效率。
