BMPO,cas:387334-31-8

BMPO(C10H17NO3,199.2) is a cyclic nitrone spin trap agent, it is a water-soluble white solid which makes BMPO purification easier than other spin trap agents. Even after prolonged storage at 220°C, there was no artificial signal formation from aqueous solutions containing BMPO (25–100 mM). BMPO offers several advantages over the existing spin traps in the detection and characterization of thiyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and superoxide anions in biological systems. One of the perceived advantages of BMPO is that the BMPO/•OOH adduct does not readily decay nonenzymatically to the BMPO/•OH adduct
