Popis: The spin trap 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) is an improved ESR probe to assess superoxide (O 2 •− ) formation in the postischemic heart. We recently found that DEPMPO pretreatment improves recovery of cardiac function with the concomitant inhibition of postischemic O 2 •− production. By perfusing diethyl methylphosphonate MeP(O)(OEt) 2 to ischemic-reperfused isolated rat hearts, we provide hemodynamic evidence that this preservation, which exerts during ischemia, is in fact specific to the phosphonate group. Using 31 P NMR on intact rat hearts, it was also found that the “phosphonate effect” of DEPMPO is related to the preservation of ATP levels during ischemia, when compared to 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide. This mechanism may be a means of reducing the potency of cardiac tissue to produce O 2 •− during reperfusion.
