4-гидрокси-2,2,6,6-тетраметил-пиперидинокс

Описание

TEMPOL is a piperidine nitroxide and spin label with superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic activity. It inhibits lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes with 50% inhibition of microsomal lipid peroxidation (IP₅₀) values of 117, 61, and 381 μM for peroxidation induced by iron plus NADPH, iron plus ascorbate, and t-butylhydroperoxide, respectively. TEMPOL (1 mM) inhibits production of superoxide anions by 92% via a xanthine-xanthine oxidase reaction in vitro. It reduces mean arterial pressure and heart rate in spontaneously hypertensive rats (ED₅₀s = 70 and 63 μmol/kg, respectively) when administered intravenously. TEMPOL is a cell-permeable spin label that has been used to quantify intracellular oxygen in various cell types by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy.

In biochemical research, 4-hydroxy-TEMPO has been investigated as an agent for limiting reactive oxygen species.  It catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxide, facilitates hydrogen peroxide metabolism, and inhibits Fenton chemistry.4-Hydroxy-TEMPO, along with related nitroxides, are being studied for their potential antioxidant properties.On an industrial-scale 4-hydroxy-TEMPO is often present as a structural element in hindered amine light stabilizers, which are commonly used stabilizers in plastics, it is also used as a polymerisation inhibitor, particularly during the purification of styrene. 

Общее описание

4-Hydroxy-TEMPO is a 4-substituted 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) derivative. It is a low-molecular weight compound and has been proposed as superoxide dismutase mimic.
