Notes: BMPO is a cyclic nitrone spin trap that can be used for the detection and characterization of thiyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anions in vitro or in vivo.{24291} The BMPO-superoxide adduct does not rapidly decompose to the hydroxyl adduct in cells (t½ = 23 min).{24291,17433} Also, the ESR spectrum of the BMPO-glutathionyl adduct does not fully overlap with the spectrum of its hydroxyl adduct.{24291} Purified by crystallization and stored as a solid, BMPO has a longer shelf life than liquid spin traps.{17433}
