Abstract
The synthesis and application of a novel compound, a variant of a standard spin label which has been used for T 2-based oxymetry, is described. The compound is 4-hydro-3carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetraperdeuteromethylpyrrolin-1-yloxy- d 12 (mHCTPO). It was developed to optimize both the sensitivity of the T 2 method to oxygen tension and the spectrometer signal for a given concentration of spin label. The compound is used with a very low frequency (250 MHz) electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer for in vivo application and for imaging, but has application at X band. The compound provides a convenient spectral feature distinguishing broadening associated with self-interaction from that due to environmental oxygen.
