A method of treatment is disclosed whereby a nitroxide compound is administered to a patient in a therapeutically effective amount. The nitroxide compound is comprised of a first portion which comprises a nitrogen atom and an oxygen atom bound directly together and an unpaired electron (.NO), and a second portion which provides a negative charge. The first and second portions are connected directly or indirectly by a linking group positioned between and bound to the first portion and the second portion in a manner such that the negative charge of the second portion stabilizes the .NO of the first portion when the nitroxide is present in the patient. By stabilizing the .NO portion of the molecule the nitroxide is allowed to interact with reactive oxygen species in the patient for a longer period of time and modulate adverse effects of those reactive oxygen species.
本发明公开了一种治疗方法,通过该方法向患者施用治疗有效量的亚
硝基化合物。亚
硝基化合物由第一部分和第二部分组成,第一部分包括一个直接结合在一起的氮原子和一个氧原子以及一个未配对的电子(.NO),第二部分提供负电荷。第一部分和第二部分通过连接基团直接或间接连接,连接基团位于第一部分和第二部分之间并与第一部分和第二部分结合,当患者体内存在亚
硝基化合物时,第二部分的负电荷可稳定第一部分的.NO。通过稳定分子中的.NO部分,亚硝基氧化物可与患者体内的活性氧作用更长时间,并调节这些活性氧的不良影响。
