The nitroxides of 7-azadispiro[5.1.5.2]pentadecane and 7-azadispiro[5.1.5.2]pentadeca-14-ene series have been prepared, including thiol-specific methane thiosulfonate spin label for site-directed spin labeling. The effect of spirocyclohexane moieties on chemical and spectral properties has been studied. The obtained temperature dependencies of electron spin relaxation parameters demonstrate that new nitroxides may be suitable for PELDOR distance measurements at 80-120 K. Moreover, the new nitroxides demonstrated much higher stability toward reduction by ascorbate than spirocyclohexane-substituted nitroxides of piperidine series and showed 1.3-3.14 times lower reduction rates compared to corresponding 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl nitroxides.

Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is the guardian of ferroptosis, preventing unrestrained (phospho)lipid peroxidation by reducing phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH). However, the contribution of other phospholipid peroxidases in ferroptosis protection remains unclear. We show that cells lacking GPX4 still exhibit substantial PLOOH-reducing capacity, suggesting a contribution of alternative PLOOH peroxidases.

Peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), a characteristic 2-Cys enzyme is one of the foremost effective scavenger proteins against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen peroxide (HO) defending cells against oxidative stress. Dysregulation of this antioxidant raises the quantity of ROS and oxidative stress implicated in several diseases. PRDX2 lowers the generation of ROS that takes part in controlling several signalling pathways occurring in neurons, protecting them from stress caused by oxidation and an inflammatory harm.

Many endogenous antioxidants, including glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), cysteinyl-glycine (Cys-Gly) and homocysteine (Hcy) possess free thiol functional groups. In most cases, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) analyses of trace amounts of thiol compounds are challenging because of their instability and poor ionization properties. We present a mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) approach for mapping of thiol compounds on brain tissue sections.

Site-specific modification of thiol-containing biomolecules has been recognized as a versatile and powerful strategy for probing our biological systems and discovering novel therapeutics. The addition of lipophilic silicon moiety opens up new avenues for multi-disciplinary research with broad applications in both the medicinal and material sciences. However, adhering to the strict biocompatibility requirements, and achieving the introduction of labile silicon handle and high chemo-selectivity have been formidable.
