Abstract
Indolinonic hydroxylamine (IH) is a new-generation artificial antioxidant that, due to its ability to fractionate into apolar environments, is considered for prevention against lipid peroxidation. For this reason, it is important to understand, and compare, its activity in polar and nonpolar environments. In this study, the antioxidant activity of IH has been evaluated against HO• and HOO• radicals in water and, for a lipid-mimetic environment, pentyl ethanoate solvent, using kinetic calculations. It was found that the overall reaction rate constant of the HO• radical scavenging is more than 7 times higher in aqueous (8.98 × 109 M-1 s-1) than in apolar (1.22 × 109 M-1 s-1) media. However, HOO• scavenging was 35 times faster in apolar media (1.00 × 105 M-1 s-1 vs 2.80 × 103 M-1 s-1). In a lipid environment, the HAT mechanism was favored for the antioxidant activity for both radical species, whereas in aqueous solution the SET mechanism defined the HO• scavenging, while HAT described the HOO• scavenging. IH was shown to be one of the most active antioxidants in lipid environment, an essential characteristic for the protection of biological systems.

Abstract
Indolinonic aromatic nitroxides have been shown to efficiently inhibit free radical mediated oxidation reactions in biological systems. Since all antioxidants also possess pro-oxidant activity, possibly through a hydrogen abstraction process from suitable substrates, the relative hydrogen abstraction abilities of these compounds were evaluated. Different hydrogen donors were reacted with an indolinic and two indolinonic nitroxides and the rates of hydrogen abstraction were determined using UV-Vis spectroscopy. From the data obtained, a structure-activity relationship was found. In addition, the hydrogen abstraction ability of these compounds was found to be much greater than that of the aliphatic nitroxide TEMPO, despite existing reports indicating that these two classes of compounds show similar antioxidant activities in biological systems.

Abstract
Nitroxides can undergo one- or two-electron reduction reactions to hydroxylamines or oxammonium cations, respectively, which themselves are interconvertible, thereby providing redox metabolic actions. 4-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (tempol) is the most extensively studied nitroxide. It is a cell membrane-permeable amphilite that dismutates superoxide catalytically, facilitates hydrogen peroxide metabolism by catalase-like actions, and limits formation of toxic hydroxyl radicals produced by Fenton reactions. It is broadly effective in detoxifying these reactive oxygen species in cell and animal studies. When administered intravenously to hypertensive rodent models, tempol caused rapid and reversible dose-dependent reductions in blood pressure in 22 of 26 studies. This was accompanied by vasodilation, increased nitric oxide activity, reduced sympathetic nervous system activity at central and peripheral sites, and enhanced potassium channel conductance in blood vessels and neurons. When administered orally or by infusion over days or weeks to hypertensive rodent models, it reduced blood pressure in 59 of 68 studies. This was accompanied by correction of salt sensitivity and endothelial dysfunction and reduced agonist-evoked oxidative stress and contractility of blood vessels, reduced renal vascular resistance, and increased renal tissue oxygen tension. Thus, tempol is broadly effective in reducing blood pressure, whether given by acute intravenous injection or by prolonged administration, in a wide range of rodent models of hypertension.

Abstract
Cyclic nitroxides (>NO*) are stable radicals of diverse size, charge, lipophilicility, and cell permeability, which provide protection against oxidative stress via various mechanisms including SOD-mimic activity, oxidation of reduced transition metals and detoxification of oxygen- and nitrogen-centered radicals. However, there is no agreement regarding the reaction of nitroxides with peroxyl radicals, and many controversies in the literature exist. The question of whether nitroxides can protect by scavenging peroxyl radicals is important because peroxyl radicals are formed in biological systems. To further elucidate the mechanism(s) underlying the antioxidative effects of nitroxides, we studied by pulse radiolysis the reaction kinetics of piperidine, pyrrolidine, and oxazolidine nitroxides with several alkyl peroxyl radicals. It is demonstrated that nitroxides mainly reduce alkyl peroxyl radicals forming the respective oxoammonium cations (>N+=O). The most efficient scavenger of peroxyl radicals is 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TPO), which has the lowest oxidation potential among the nitroxides tested in the present study. The rate constants of peroxyl reduction are in the order CH2(OH)OO*>CH3OO*>t-BuOO*, which correlate with the oxidation potential of these peroxyl radicals. The rate constants for TPO vary between 2.8x10(7) and 1.0x10(8) M-1 s-1 and for 3-carbamoylproxyl (3-CP) between 8.1x10(5) and 9.0x10(6) M-1 s-1. The efficacy of protection of nitroxides against inactivation of glucose oxidase caused by peroxyl radicals was studied. The results demonstrate a clear correlation between the kinetic features of the nitroxides and their ability to inhibit biological damage inflicted by peroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Individuals with sickle-cell disease (SCD) and transgenic sickle mice expressing human betaS globin exhibit enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, vascular inflammation, and episodic vasoocclusion. We hypothesize that reduction of ROS will reduce endothelial-cell activation and adhesion-molecule expression, thereby inhibiting vasoocclusion. To test this hypothesis, we measured endothelial-cell activation, adhesion-molecule expression, and vasoocclusion in sickle mice after administering i.v. polynitroxyl albumin (PNA), a superoxide dismutase and catalase mimetic. Untreated sickle mice, compared with normal mice, showed increased activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), an oxidant-sensitive transcription factor, in their lungs, livers, and skin. NF-kappaB activation was increased further in the livers and skin of sickle but not normal mice after hypoxia-reoxygenation. IV administration of PNA inhibited NF-kappaB activation by 60% (P < .01) in the lungs and by 33% (P < .05) in the livers of sickle mice after hypoxia-reoxygenation. PNA also reduced the expression of vascular cell-adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by 57% in lung (P < .05) and by 33% in liver (P < .05) and reduced the expression of intercellular-adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by 40% in lung (P < .05) and by 53% in liver (P < .05). PNA inhibited a hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced increase in leukocyte rolling (P < .01) and adhesion (P < .05) in venules of the dorsal skin. Most importantly, PNA completely inhibited hypoxia-reoxygenation-induced vasoocclusion (P < .001). Control albumin had no effect on NF-kappaB, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, rolling, adhesion, or vasoocclusion. We speculate that therapies to reduce oxidative stress will inhibit inflammation and vasoocclusion in SCD.

Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effects, if any, of aromatic nitroxides, namely, indolinic nitroxides, on membrane fluidity of rat epithelial cells using steady-state fluorescence. These nitroxides are being increasingly considered as new and versatile compounds to reduce oxidative stress in biological systems. Hence, the results obtained in this study will give more insights on the interaction of these compounds with biological structures which at present is lacking, especially in view of their possible application as antioxidant therapeutic agents. The probes DPH and Laurdan which give information on the hydrophobic and hydrophilic-hydrophobic regions of the membrane bilayer, respectively, showed that nitroxide 1 (1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-3H-indole-3-one-1-oxyl) significantly increases membrane fluidity, whereas the corresponding phenylimino nitroxide derivative 2 (1,2-dihydro-2-methyl-3H-indole-3-phenylimino-1-oxyl) leads to membrane rigidification. The aliphatic nitroxide TEMPO included in this study for comparison produced no modifications. Consequently, it appears that the structure of the heterocyclic rings (aromatic or aliphatic) and the substituents may affect membrane fluidity differently.

Abstract
In view of the possible employment of nitroxide compounds in various fields, it is important to know how they compare with other synthetic antioxidant compounds currently used in several industries and with naturally occurring antioxidants. To address this issue, the antioxidant activity of two aromatic indolinonic nitroxides synthesized by us was compared with both commercial phenolic antioxidants (BHT and BHA) and with natural phenolic antioxidants (alpha-hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, caffeic acid, alpha-tocopherol). DPPH radical scavenging ability and the inhibition of both lipid and protein oxidation induced by the peroxyl-radical generator, AAPH, were evaluated. The results obtained show that overall: (i) the reduced forms of the nitroxide compounds are better scavengers of DPPH radical than butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BLT) but less efficient than the natural compounds; (ii) the nitroxides inhibit both linolenic acid micelles and bovine serum albumin (BSA) oxidation to similar extents as most of the other compounds in a concentration-dependent fashion. Since the aromatic nitroxides tested in this study are less toxic than BHT, these compounds may be regarded as potential, alternative sources for several applications. The mechanisms underlying the antioxidant activity of nitroxides were further confirmed by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy experiments and macroscale reactions in the presence of radicals generated by thermolabile azo-compounds. Distribution coefficients in octanol/buffer of the nitroxides and the other compounds were also determined as a measure of lipophilicity.

Abstract
In order to gain more knowledge on the antioxidant role of nitroxide radicals, in this study we investigate their possible protective action against DNA damage induced by nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen oxide species deriving from it, namely nitroxyl anion (NO(-)) and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). Rat trachea epithelial cells were exposed under aerobic conditions to (1) NO generated by 150 microM S-nitrosoglutathione monoethyl ester (GSNO-MEE), (2) NO(-) generated by 200 microM Angeli's salt (Na(2)N(2)O(3)) (3) ONOO(-) generated by 1mM SIN-1 (3-morpholino-sydnonimine) and (4) 100 microM synthesized ONOO(-), in the absence and presence of 5 microM of two indolinonic nitroxides synthesized by us and the piperidine nitroxide TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). DNA damage was assessed using the comet assay-a rapid and sensitive, single-cell gel electrophoresis technique used to detect primary DNA damage in individual cells. The parameter tail moment, used as an index of DNA damage, showed that in all cases the nitroxides remarkably inhibited DNA strand breaks induced by the different nitrogen oxide species. All three nitroxides protect to the same extent, except in the case of synthesized peroxynitrite where the aromatic nitroxides 1 and 2 are more efficient than TEMPO. These findings are consistent with the antioxidant character of nitroxide compounds and give additional information on the potential implications for their use as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Derivatives of tetramethylpiperidines are extensively employed in polymers to prevent photooxidation, and their stabilizing effect is attributed to the activity of the nitroxide radical derived from the parent amine. In this study, we examined the photoprotective effect of a commercial polymer photostabilizer, HALS-1, its corresponding nitroxide, bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine-1-oxyl-4-yl)sebacate (TINO), and two derivatives of the piperidine nitroxide TEMPOL, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-acetyloxy-1-oxyl (TEMP2) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-4-octanoyloxy-1-oxyl (TEMP8) synthesized by us, in liposomes exposed to ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation. For comparison, the UVA-absorber, 4-tert-butyl-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane (Parsol 1789) used in many suncream formulations, was also included. The nitroxide TINO resulted extremely efficient at inhibiting aldehydic breakdown products deriving from 30 min exposure of liposomes to UVA and the protection was dose-dependent (10-100 microM). The corresponding amine HALS-1 was the least efficient while protection increased in the order: TEMP2 < Parsol 1789 < TEMP 8. HALS-1, TINO, and the two TEMPOL derivatives were also tested in a simple protein system consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) exposed to UVA. In this case, these compounds did not inhibit nor enhance UVA-mediated protein carbonyl formation in BSA. The differences in protection between the compounds are discussed in relation to their chemical reactivity, UVA-absorbing capacities, and their molecular structure. Overall, the results obtained envisage the potential use of nitroxide compounds as topical antioxidants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to test whether polynitroxylation (PN) improved the therapeutic profile of hemoglobin-based oxygen-carrying compounds (HBOCs) that were unpolymerized (alphaalphaHb) or 70% polymerized (polyHb) in a clinically relevant model that combines pulmonary injury and reperfusion. To our knowledge, four different HBOC formulations have never been compared in the same trauma model. METHODS Anesthetized, ventilated swine (n = 45) received a unilateral lung contusion + 25% hemorrhage. After 60 minutes, 250 mL of either PNalphaalphaHb (n = 5), alphaalphaHb (n = 10), PNpolyHb (n = 6), polyHb (n = 5), or normal saline (NaCl, n = 10) was administered for 20 minutes, followed by standard crystalloid resuscitation for 30 minutes, and supplemental crystalloid as required for 6 hours to maintain heart rate <100 beats/min and mean arterial pressure >70 mm Hg. RESULTS Nine of 45 deaths occurred before resuscitation. Survival time was 395 minutes with NaCl versus 303 minutes with alphaalphaHb (p = 0.03) or 238 minutes with PNalphaalphaHb (p = 0.04). With both polymerized HBOCs, survival was 480 minutes (polyHb vs. alphaalphaHb, p = 0.005; PNpolyHb vs. PNalphaalphaHb, p = 0.006). All HBOCs were pressors (all p < 0.05) and all reduced the supplemental fluid required to maintain systemic hemodynamics during resuscitation (all p < 0.05). By 90 minutes postresuscitation, cardiac index was 112% of baseline with NaCl (p < 0.02), but was 78% with alphaalphaHb (p = not significant), 63% with PNalphaalphaHb (p < 0.01), 79% with PNpolyHb (p < 0.01), and 67% with polyHb p < 0.02). Relative to NaCI, no HBOC altered trauma-induced neutrophilia, thrombocytopenia, or the trauma-induced increases in bronchoalveolar lavage protein or bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils. CONCLUSION After resuscitation from chest trauma, we observed the following: (1) all HBOCs reduced fluid requirements and increased right and left ventricular afterload versus NaCl, which further compromised an already marginal cardiac performance; (2) mortality was less with polyHbs relative to alphaalphaHb, but the pressor action was unchanged; (3) the pressor action was less with polynitroxylated compounds relative to the unmodified HBOC, but this chemical modification had no effect on mortality; and (4) the pressor action of HBOCs must be attenuated by strategies other than polymerization or polynitroxylation for these compounds to be safe, effective resuscitants in humans.

Abstract
The indolinonic and quinolinic aromatic nitroxides synthesized by us are a novel class of biological antioxidants, which afford a good degree of protection against free radical-induced oxidation in different lipid and protein systems. To further our understanding of their antioxidant behavior, we thought it essential to have more information on their effects on DNA exposed to free radicals. Here, we report on the results obtained after exposure of plasmid DNA and calf thymus DNA to peroxyl radicals generated by the water-soluble radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (AAPH), and the protective effects of the aromatic nitroxides and their hydroxylamines, using a simple in vitro assay for DNA damage. In addition, we also tested for the potential of these nitroxides to inhibit hydroxyl radical-mediated DNA damage inflicted by Fenton-type reactions using copper and iron ions. The commercial aliphatic nitroxides 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO), 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPOL), and bis(2,2, 6,6-tetramethyl-1-oxyl-piperidin-4-yl)sebacate (TINUVIN 770) were included for comparison. The results show that the majority of compounds tested protect: (i) both plasmid DNA and calf thymus DNA against AAPH-mediated oxidative damage in a concentration-dependent fashion (1-0.1 mM), (ii) both Fe(II) and Cu(I) induced DNA oxidative damage. However, all compounds failed to protect DNA against damage inflicted by the presence of the transition metals in combination with H(2)O(2). The differences in protection between the compounds are discussed in relation to their molecular structure and chemical reactivity.

Abstract
Because of the increasing interest in the use of nitroxide radicals as antioxidants and probes for various applications in biological systems, the question of their toxicity is of paramount importance. Cytotoxicity and mutagenicity studies have been extensively performed with the commercially available aliphatic nitroxides, and the general outcome is that these compounds are nonmutagenic and relatively noncytotoxic. In this study, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of a new class of aromatic nitroxides that we have synthesized (i.e., indolinonic and quinolinic nitroxides), whose antioxidant activity has been established in both chemical and biological systems, were evaluated and compared with those of two commercial nitroxides and with that of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The mutagenicity assay was performed using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, and TA102, chosen on the basis of their ability to detect various types of mutations and their sensitivity to oxidative damage. None of the compounds tested were found to be mutagenic. The colony-forming assay (CFA) using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) AS52 cells was employed for determining the cytotoxicity of the test compounds. On comparing the effective dose that inhibits the CFA by 50% (IC(50)), most of the compounds tested on an equal molar concentration basis were less toxic than BHT. Therefore, the overall results obtained correlate well with the data reported in the literature on the toxicity of aliphatic nitroxides and lend support to the possible use of these compounds as therapeutic antioxidants.

Abstract
We previously reported on the ability of dibenzoylmethane (DBM) and a relative, Parsol 1789, used as a ultraviolet A (UVA)-absorbing sunscreen, to generate free radicals upon illumination, and as a consequence, to inflict strand breaks in plasmid DNA in vitro. This study has now been extended to determine the effects of Parsol 1789 and DBM on proteins, under UVA illumination, with the sole purpose of gaining more knowledge on the photobiological effects of sunscreen chemicals. Parsol 1789 (100 microM) caused a 2-fold increase in protein carbonyl formation (an index of oxidative damage) in bovine serum albumin (BSA) when exposed to illumination, and this damage was both concentration- and time-dependent. The degree of protein damage was markedly reduced by the presence of free radical scavengers, namely piperidinic and indolinonic nitroxide radicals, in accordance with our previous study. Vitamin E had no effect under the conditions used. The results obtained corroborate the fact that Parsol 1789 generates free radicals upon illumination and that these are, most probably, responsible for the protein damage observed under the conditions used in our system. However, at present, we cannot extrapolate from these results the relevance to human use of sunscreens; therefore, further studies should be necessary to determine the efficacy at the molecular and cellular level of this UVA-absorber in order to ascertain protection against photocarcinogenic risk.

Abstract
The increasing knowledge on the participation of free radicals in many diverse clinical and pathological conditions, has consequently expanded the search for new and versatile antioxidants aimed at combating oxidative stress. Our interest in this field concerns aromatic indolinonic aminoxyls (nitroxides) which efficiently react with alkoxyl, peroxyl, aminyl, arylthiyl and alkyl radicals to give non-paramagnetic species. This prompted us to test their antioxidant activity on different biological systems exposed to free radical-induced oxidative stress and the results obtained so far have been very promising. However little is known about their behaviour towards superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. Here, we report on the reactivity of an indolinonic aminoxyl, with the two above mentioned radicals using hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase and potassium superoxide for generating the former and the Fenton reagent for the latter. Besides performing the deoxyribose assay for studying the reaction of the aminoxyl with hydroxyl radical and monitoring spectral changes of the aminoxyl in the presence of superoxide radical, macroscale reactions were performed in both cases and the products of the reactions isolated and identified. The EPR technique was used in this study to help elucidate the data obtained. The results show that this compound efficiently reacts with both hydroxyl and superoxide radicals and furthermore, it is capable of maintaining iron ions in its oxidized form. The results thus contribute to increasing the knowledge on the reactivity of indolinonic aminoxyls towards free radical species and as a consequence, these compounds and/or other aminoxyl derivatives, may be considered as complementary, and sometimes alternative sources for combating oxidative damage.

Abstract
The kinetic studies on the actions of quinolinic and indolinonic aminoxyls in the oxidation of lipid peroxidation induced by free radicals were carried out to evaluate their antioxidant activity. These aminoxyls showed a similar reactivity toward peroxyl radical with alpha-tocopherol. The antioxidant efficacies of aminoxyls against oxidation of methyl linoleate in homogeneous solution were smaller than that of alpha-tocopherol. Hydroxylamine, a reduced form of aminoxyl, possessed a comparative antioxidant efficacy with alpha-tocopherol and was capable of suppressing the consumption of alpha-tocopherol. Aminoxyls showed more potent antioxidant activity than alpha-tocopherol against the oxidation of methyl linoleate micelles induced by peroxyl radical or by a combination of copper ion and hydrogen peroxide. These results suggest that quinolinic and indolinonic aminoxyls may act as potent antioxidants against lipid peroxidation, especially in the presence of a good reductant which reduces aminoxyl radicals to hydroxylamines.

Abstract
Indolinonic nitroxide radicals efficiently scavenge oxygen- and carbon-centered radicals. They protect lipid and protein systems against oxidative stress, but little is known about their capacity to protect DNA against radical-mediated damage. We compare indolinonic nitroxides and the piperidines TEMPO and TEMPOL for their ability to inhibit strand breaks inflicted on DNA when it is illuminated in vitro in the presence of dibenzoylmethane (DBM) and a relative, Parsol 1789, used as a UVA-absorbing sunscreen. We used spin-trapping EPR to examine the formation of radicals and plasmid nicking assays to evaluate DNA strand breakage. The results have a two-fold interest. First, they show that all the nitroxides tested efficiently prevent DNA damage in a dose-dependent fashion. Vitamin E had no effect under the conditions used. Second, they show that carbon-centered radicals are produced on illumination of DBM and its relative and that their formation is probably responsible for the direct strand breaks found when naked DNA is illuminated in vitro in their presence. Additional work on the ability of sunscreens to enter human cells and their response to the light that penetrates sunscreen-protected skin would be necessary before any conclusion could be drawn as to whether the results reported here are relevant to human use of sunscreens.

Abstract
Because previous literature reports have demonstrated that nucleated trout erythrocytes in conditions of oxidative stress are subjected to both membrane damage and a decrease in the enzymatic defense systems (glutathione peroxidase), which in turn lead to hemolysis, the present study was undertaken to determine whether DNA may be affected too, prior to the hemolytic event. Impairment of DNA in stressed trout erythrocytes was assessed using the comet assay--a rapid and sensitive, single-cell gel electrophoresis technique used to detect primary DNA damage in individual cells. In addition, indolinic and quinolinic nitroxide radicals were included in the study to determine their efficacy as antioxidants against free-radical-induced DNA damage. The parameters, tail length, tail intensity, and tail moment, used as an index of DNA damage, have shown that trout erythrocytes exposed to oxidative stress experience DNA damage prior to hemolysis and that the nitroxides significantly prevent this damage. This result provides further information about the potential use of these compounds as antioxidants in biological systems.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of indolinic and quinolinic nitroxide radicals to protect trout (Salmo irideus) erythrocytes against oxidative stress. By using laurdan as a fluorescence probe, it was observed that the nitroxides inhibited the shift towards a gel phase of liposomes prepared with phospholipids extracted from trout erythrocyte membranes prior to the hemolytic event. In addition, the presence of 100 microM nitroxides in these liposomes protected the latter against lipid peroxidation determined by monitoring conjugated diene formation. However, the short chain analogue of the indolinic nitroxide and the quinolinic nitroxide had a negative effect on trout hemolysis, contrary to what has already been observed in previous studies on human RBCs (red blood cells). The half-time (t1/2) of the hemolytic process was 174 +/- 4.02 min for the former and 184 +/- 4.30 min for the latter compared to the control, 283 +/- 5.05 min. Furthermore, the nitroxides remarkably increased the autoxidation rate of both trout and human hemoglobin to met-Hb. Even though protection at the membrane level is conferred by the nitroxides during the early stages of lipid peroxidation, their antioxidative ability might be overwhelmed at a later stage by other mechanisms such as the increased autoxidation of hemoglobin in the presence of the nitroxides, thus giving a possible explanation for the early induction of hemolysis induced by the nitroxides. The superoxide scavenging ability of all the nitroxides used was also evaluated through chemiluminescence.

Abstract
An in vitro study was carried out to verify whether the chain length of a substituent on an indolinic nitroxide could influence its antioxidant activity in different biological environments subjected to oxidative stress. Three distinct indolinic nitroxides were synthesized and compared with vitamin E and Trolox (a hydrophilic analogue of vitamin E), where the only difference between the nitroxides was the length of the hydrocarbon chain in the 2-position of indole, namely 2 (C2), 10 (C10), and 18 (C18) carbons. All the nitroxides were effective in preventing oxidation of bovine serum albumin, but to different extents, with the longer chain derivatives being more efficient. However, the C2 compound was the most efficient in preventing lipid peroxidation in microsomal membranes. The C2 and C18 compounds, Trolox, and vitamin E protected microsomal protein oxidation to the same extent at the highest concentration used (13 microM). The nitroxide with a C10 chain was less effective in this system. The influence of these compounds on the enzymatic activity of two mitochondrial proteins subjected to oxidative stress was also studied by means of oxygraph measurements. Mitochondrial rotenone-sensitive NADH oxidase and succinate oxidase responded differently to BuOOH-induced radical chemistry, and the compounds under study also protected the activity of the two enzymes but to different extents. The results clearly demonstrate that indolinic nitroxides are very efficient antioxidants, protecting both lipids and proteins from peroxidation. The indole structure influences the antioxidant efficacy in biological systems.

Abstract
An in vitro model of thalassemia was produced by entrapment of isolated hemoglobin chains in human erythrocytes, thus subjecting the loaded cells to oxidative stress. The presence of these unpaired chains induced physico-chemical modifications at the membrane level as studied by laurdan fluorescence. The polarity of the lipid bilayer was shown to decrease with a concomitant shift towards a gel phase in alpha-loaded erythrocytes. The determination of conjugated dienes before the hemolytic event was used as an oxidation index; the results obtained demonstrate that beta thalassemia is associated with oxidative stress. Furthermore, the presence of indolinic and quinolinic nitroxide radicals, a new class of antioxidants, in suspensions of alpha-loaded erythrocytes protected the erythrocytes from the hemolytic event. However, the protective effect exerted by the nitroxide radicals is not related to effects on membrane polarity and lipid peroxidation, even though a chemiluminescence study has demonstrated the superoxide scavenging activity of these nitroxide radicals.

Abstract
A study of peroxyl radical-mediated bovine serum albumin oxidation in the presence of the quinolinic aminoxyl 1,2-dihydro-2,2-diphenyl-4-ethoxy-quinoline-1-oxyl (QAO) was carried out in order to test its efficiency as a protein antioxidant. Albumin oxidation was induced by the tert-butylhydroperoxide/PbO2 system. The extent of protein oxidation, measured by monitoring the formation of carbonyl groups, was considerably reduced in the presence of QAO. ESR measurements were carried out to confirm the consumption of the nitroxide during oxidation and its incorporation in the protein. The data obtained indicate that the quinolinic aminoxyl function can be used as an effective antioxidant in biological systems.
