2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide (carboxy-PTIO) has been increasingly used as nitric oxide (NO) scavenger. Carboxy-PTIO reacts with NO to form nitric dioxide and 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl (carboxy-PTI). In rat C6 glioma cells expressing human dopamine transporter, carboxy-PTIO paradoxically potentiated the inhibition of [(3)H]dopamine uptake by two NO donors, diethylamine/NO and (Z)-1-[N-(3-ammoniopropyl)-N-(n-propyl)-amino]/NO. Further examinations revealed that carboxy-PTI concentration-dependently reduced dopamine uptake, indicating that the formation of carboxy-PTI may account for the failure of carboxy-PTIO to abolish NO elicited effects. These results suggest that caution should be taken in interpreting data obtained using carboxy-PTIO and probably other NO scavengers.
2-(4-羧基苯基)-4,4,5,5-四甲基咪唑啉-1-氧基-3-氧化物(羧基-PTIO)已越来越多地用作一氧化氮(NO)清除剂。羧基-PTIO与NO反应生成二氧化氮和2-(4-羧基苯基)-4,4,5,5-四甲基咪唑啉-1-氧基(羧基-PTI)。在表达人多巴胺转运体的大鼠C6胶质瘤细胞中,羧基-PTIO出人意料地增强了两种NO供体二乙胺/NO和(Z)-1-[N-(3-氨丙基)-N-(正丙基)-氨基]/NO对[(3)H]多巴胺摄取的抑制作用。进一步研究表明,羧基-PTI浓度依赖性地降低多巴胺摄取,这表明羧基-PTI的形成可能是羧基-PTIO未能消除NO引发效应的原因。这些结果表明,在解释使用羧基-PTIO以及可能其他NO清除剂获得的数据时应谨慎。
