摘要
Phenyl N-tert-butyl nitrone (PEN) is commonly employed in spin-trapping studies. We report here evidence that PEN in aqueous solutions is decomposed by two pathways leading to the generation of nitric oxide ((NO)-N-.). The first pathway is by hydrolysis of PEN, which is strongly catalyzed by ferric iron. The second pathway is via PBN-hydroxyl radical adduct formation. (NO)-N-. was trapped in the presence of cysteine and ferrous iron to form a [(cys)(2)Fe(NO)(2)](-3) complex, which was measured by use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. A concomitant metabolite, benzaldehyde, was detected from both reaction mixtures. We propose that PEN is hydrolyzed by Fe3+ or attacked by hydroxyl radical, leading eventually to a common transient species, tert-butyl hydronitroxide [t-BuN(O-.)H], which is further oxidized to a (NO)-N-. source, t-BuNO. Our data imply that PEN may decompose to (NO)-N-. when used in biological models with oxidative stress conditions.
