Preparation and Spectroscopic, Magnetic, and Electrochemical Studies of Mono-/Biradical TEMPO Derivatives
摘要:
A comparison set of mono-/biradical TEMPO derivatives was prepared, novel compounds were fully characterized, and their physicochemical properties were determined. Cyclic voltammetry revealed reversible redox behavior for all studied nitroxides. Moreover, the electron-withdrawing substituents increased the oxidation potential of the respective nitroxides in comparison to electron-donating groups. While EPR spectra of monoradicals in dichloromethane at 295 K reveal the expected three-line signal, spectra of biradicals show more complex features. DFT and MP2 calculations indicate that the EPR splitting pattern of dinitroxide 7 could be explained by its interactions with solvent molecules. In the solid state, mononitroxides 4 and 5 behave as a Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain, whereas dinitroxides 6-8 are almost isolated paramagnetic diradicals coupled in an antiferromagnetic manner.

Degenerate radical addition fragmentation and nitroxide fragmentation reactions are applied to the expansion of heterobivalent libraries without contamination from homobivalent species. Deconvolution by means of a fluorous tagging process is described.

The protective effects of stable nitroxides, as well as their hydroxylamine and amine precursors, have been tested in Chinese hamster V79 cells subjected to H2O2 exposure at fixed concentration or exposure to ionizing radiation. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by monitoring the viability of the cells assessed by the clonogenic assay. The compounds tested at fixed concentration varied in terms of ring size, oxidation state, and ring substituents. Electrochemical studies were carried out to measure the redox midpoint potentials. The studies show that in the case of protection against H2O2 exposure, the protection was determined by the ring size, oxidation state, and redox midpoint potentials. In general the protection factors followed the order nitroxides > hydroxylamines > amines. Both the six-membered ring nitroxides and substituted five-membered ring nitroxides were efficient protectors. For six-membered ring nitroxides, the compounds exhibiting the lowest midpoint potentials exhibited maximal protection. In the case of X-radiation, nitroxides were the most protective though some hydroxylamines were also efficient. The amines were in some cases found to sensitize the toxicity of aerobic radiation exposure. The protection observed by the nitroxides was not dependent on the ring size. However, the ring substituents had significant influence on the protection. Compounds containing a basic side chain were found to provide enhanced protection. The results in this study suggest that these compounds are novel antioxidants which can provide cytoprotection in mammalian cells against diverse types of oxidative insult and identify structural determinants optimal for protection against individual types of damage.
