HIDE SMILES / InChI
Tempol is used as an industrial catalyst and chemical oxidant. However, its ability to scavenge free oxygen species has generated interest in the biochemical potential of this compound. Biologically Tempol catalyzes the disproportionation of superoxides, facilitates hydrogen peroxide metabolism, and inhibits Fenton chemistry. These properties generated investigational interest for the use of tempol to mediate radiation damage during chemotherapy. Tempol has been used in human clinical trials for mitigation of radiation damage in related to anal cancer, and brain cancer. Tempol has also been investigated in a number of animal and invitro models for conditions, such as oxidative damage, brain hemorrhage, anxiety, malaria, platelet agregation,

Sample Use Guides

In a phase II clinical trial investigating the ability of tempol to prevent hair loss due to radiation treatment; 200 mL of 7% (w/v) Tempol gel was applied daily to patients prior to radiation dose and removed immediately thereafter.
Route of Administration: Topical
Undifferentiated HL-60 cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 media containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 25 mM HEPES at 37 deg-C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. HL-60 cells were differentiated in a culture medium containing 1.3% DMSO for five days prior to a 3-hour incubation with Tempol. At a concentration of <0.3 mM Tempol completely abolishes O2^- detection. At 0.3 mM and higher Tempol also attenuates H2O2 levels triggered by 1 microM of fMLP. Therefore, Tempol is a potent and effective antioxidant.
