Disruption of the redox balance in vivo is closely involved in the development of various diseases associated with oxidative stress. Therefore, methods for the in vivo analysis of antioxidants and free radicals are essential to elucidate the pathogenic mechanisms of such diseases. Although profluorescent nitroxide probes can be used to evaluate redox molecules with high sensitivity, these probes have low selectivity. Recently, we developed two profluorescent nitroxide probes, 15-((9-(ethylimino)-10-methyl-9Hbenzo[a]phenoxazin-5-yl)amino)-3,11-dioxa-7-azadispiro-hexadecan-7-yloxyl (Nile-DiPy) and 2,2,6-trimethyl-4-(4-nitrobenzo[1,2,5]oxadiazol-7-ylamino)-6-pentylpiperidine-1-oxyl (NBD-Pen), which had high sensitivity and selectivity toward ascorbic acid and lipid-derived radicals, respectively. These probes can react sensitively and selectively to each target molecule and can be used in animal experiments. In this paper, we review the design strategies and application of these profluorescent nitroxide probes.

High content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the human body leads to oxidative stress and serious health problems, such as cancer and cardiovascular or bone diseases. It is also one of the agents that cause collagen damage. Herein, detection of ROS, scavenging of formed carbon-centered radicals and inhibition of collagen fragmentation were performed in a single operation using newly synthesized profluorescent nitroxide PN1 a switch-on approach.

Peroxyl radicals (RO) are important components of atmospheric radical cycling and generation, but their formation, distribution and evolution mechanisms in the atmospheric environment have not been investigated. In this paper, we propose a novel atmospheric RO radical trapping membrane that can trap low carbon number (Rc ≤ 5) RO radicals and identify their R-group structures by fluorescence spectroscopy and chromatography. We also analyzed the composition and evolution mechanism of RO species under different meteorological conditions in the atmospheric environment of Lanzhou, China, to provide scientific support for the treatment and research of atmospheric chemical pollution.

Ascorbic acid (AA) or vitamin C plays multiple crucial roles, particularly as an antioxidant. This essentially biologically active molecule was selectively detected over other reductants by the synthesized profluorescent nitroxide probe ProN6 a switch-on method. After either a hydrogen atom or single electron transfer from AA to nitroxide, the resulting diamagnetic hydroxylamine was rapidly cyclized to form a fluorescent -acylalkoxyamine.

Free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation (LPO) induces the formation of numerous lipid radicals, which contribute to the development of several oxidative diseases. To understand the mechanism of LPO in biological systems and the significance of these radicals, identifying the structures of individual lipid radicals is imperative. In this study, we developed an analytical method based on liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and a profluorescent nitroxide probe, -(1-oxyl-2,2,6-trimethyl-6-pentylpiperidin-4-yl)-3-(5,5-difluoro-1,3-dimethyl-3,5-5l4-dipyrrolo[1,2-c:2',1'-f][1,3,2]diazaborinin-7-yl)propanamide (BDP-Pen), for the detailed structural analysis of lipid radicals.
