title: Spectroscopic and biological studies of spin-labeled tetracycline.
abstract: A new nitroxyl labeled tetracycline is synthesized. Proton NMR experiments of tetracycline, spin-labeled tetracycline, and the diamagnetic reduced form in DMSO-d6 are reported. The signals observed in the NMR spectra are all assigned. The NMR data revealed that the spin label is attached to the C-2 amide group on ring A of tetracycline. The spin-labeled tetracycline is also tested in vitro for antitumor activity and is found to be active against leukemia P338/ADR cell line and in melanoma LOX cell line.
