DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide) is a spin trap used to detect reactive oxygen species and free radicals in biological systems. Its low toxicity and favorable pharmacokinetics make it suitable for in vivo studies. DMPO adducts can be formed with protein and DNA radicals, aiding in the investigation of oxidative stress—a key contributor to neurodegenerative diseases. Caution is advised when interpreting results in the presence of nitric oxide due to potential interference.
Classification: Harmful. May be harmful if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin.
Safety Phrases:
- S22 - Do not breathe dust
- S36/37/39 - Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection
- S24/25- Avoid contact with shin and eyes
