title: New amino-nitroxide spin labels.
abstract: Stable free mono- and diradicals containing reactive primary or secondary amino groups in the side-chain have been synthesized by transesterification of amino-substituted esters with paramagnetic alcohols or from spin-labeled acid derivatives and amines. In the second approach the new radical 18 (1-oxyl-3-(2-bromoethoxycarbonyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline) is proposed as an efficient alkylating species. The nitroxides described are pH-sensitive spin probes and spin labels potentially useful for a diversity of ESR applications in chemistry and biology. New spin-labeled tyramine 16 (N-(1-oxyl-3-carbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-pyrroline)tyramine) was successfully employed in a novel assay of protein oxidative damage.
