Abstract

A new spin trap, the 5-(diethoxyphosphorylmethyl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrole N-oxide (3), is prepared through a four-step synthetic route. The in vitro spin trapping properties of 3 have been investigated and the hydroxyl and superoxide spin adducts characterised. The persistence of the superoxide spin adduct obtained with 3 is compared with those of the analogues obtained with DEPMPO [5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3H-pyrrole N-oxide] and DMPO in both phosphate buffer and pyridine. In 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, the HOO-3˙ adduct is found to be 2.8 times more persistent than HOO-DMPO˙, but 5.7 times less than HOO-DEPMPO˙. In phosphate buffer, HOO-3˙ decomposes to give HO-3˙. The stereoselectivity of the addition of free radicals on 3 is generally poor, and mixtures of diastereomers have been observed by EPR. The overall spin trapping behaviour of nitrone 3 is more similar to that of DMPO than that of DEPMPO.

  16. A satisfactory calculated spectrum was obtained assuming the existence of one diastereomer (Table 1)[Fig. 1(c)]. However, simulations assuming the presence of two diastereomers gave also reasonable calculated spectra. Owing to the poor resolution of the experimental spectra, it was not possible in these conditions to distinguish between the two hypotheses.
