In EPR experiments on mice it was demonstrated that a hydrophobic complex Fe2+ with diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC) is a more efficient selective NO trap than a hydrophilic complex Fe2+ with N-methyl-D-glutamine dithiocarbamate (MGD). This difference can be due to the higher stability of paramagnetic nitrosyl iron complex with DETC (MNIC-DETC) formed by NO binding to Fe2+-DETC in animal tissues in vivo. The complex analogue MNIC-MGD is reversibly oxidized in animal blood to transform into the diamagnetic EPR-silent form. The latter is detectable also in urine of animals, especially of those treated with bacterial lipopolysaccharide which initiates the enhanced NO production in the organism. We suggest that NO2 or peroxynitrite formed from endogenous NO can serve as an agent reversibly oxidizing MNIC-MGD in these animals.

IQ-1 (11-indeno[1,2-]quinoxalin-11-one oxime) is a specific c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor with anticancer and neuro- and cardioprotective properties. Because aryloxime derivatives undergo cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation to nitric oxide (NO) and ketones in liver microsomes, NO formation may be an additional mechanism of IQ-1 pharmacological action. In the present study, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of the Fe complex with diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC) as a spin trap and hemoglobin (Hb) was used to detect NO formation from IQ-1 in the liver and blood of rats, respectively, after IQ-1 intraperitoneal administration (50 mg/kg).

Cuproptosis in antitumor therapy faces challenges from copper homeostasis efflux mechanisms and high glutathione (GSH) levels in tumor cells, hindering copper accumulation and treatment efficacy. Herein, we propose a strategy of "adding fuel to the flames" for potent antitumor therapy through a self-accelerating cycle of ferroptosis-cuproptosis. Disulfiram (DSF) loaded hollow mesoporous copper-iron sulfide (HMCIS) nanoparticle with conjugation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and folic acid (FA) (i.

Recently, disulfiram (DSF), approved by the FDA as an anti-alcoholic drug, has been proved as an effective antitumor drug after chelating with Cu. To overcome the shortage of intracellular Cu, we have constructed a dual gate-controlled intelligent nanoreactor (HA-DSF@HCuS@FePtMn, HDHF) the ingenious combination of hollow copper sulfide (HCuS) nanoparticles, DSF and FePtMn nanocrystals. HDHF has a NIR-actuated gate and enzyme-actuated gate that could be opened in the hyaluronidase-abundant tumor microenvironment with NIR laser irradiation to trigger drug (DSF/FePtMn) release and synergistic therapy.

Ultrasound (US)-activated nanoagents capable of producing cytotoxic species have been promising for the treatment of deep-seated tumors; however, poor tumor uptake and insufficient generation of cytotoxic agents have largely limited their therapeutic efficacy . Herein, we report a hybrid FeCuS-lipid nanoparticle (AIBA@FeCuS-FeCO) by amphiphilic lipids-assisted emulsion of a free radical initiator (AIBA), a radical-sensitive CO donor (Fe(CO)), and radical-degradable FeCuS nanodisks for US-activated synergistic therapy of deep-located orthotopic gastric tumors in living mice. Upon US irradiation, AIBA@FeCuS-FeCO could be degraded and release cytotoxic AIBA radicals, CO, Fe, and Cu, allowing us to (1) enhance tumor uptake of AIBA@FeCuS-FeCO through CO-mediated vasodilation, (2) promote hydroxyl radical production and induce tumor ferroptosis intracellular accumulation of Fe/Cu, and (3) kill tumor cells.

A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection method for environmental copper ions (Cu) was developed according to the vibrational spectral change of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectra indicated that DDTC formed a complex with Cu, showing a prominent peak at ~450 nm. We found Raman spectral changes in DDTC from ~1490 cm to ~1504 cm on AuNPs at a high concentration of Cu above 1 μM.
