Nitroxides can ameliorate the toxic effects of radiation during cancer therapy. Nitroxides are paramagnetic and can be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) to monitor in vivo oxidative stress status. Compound 5 (3-(N-piperidinemethyl)-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1-oxy-3-pyrroline) was found to be the most effective nitroxide radioprotector. An efficient synthesis for this promising radioprotector was developed.

Spin-labeled amino acids (SLAAs) are often used to determine intermolecular distances and conformations in proteins via double electron-electron resonance. Currently available SLAAs can be difficult to incorporate selectively and have little resemblance to natural side chains in proteins. Enantioselective synthesis of three spin-labeled l-amino acids is described, starting from readily available 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidinone. These SLAAs better replicate canonical residues in proteins and aim for biological incorporation via genetic incorporation or solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Six fluorescein-nitroxide radical hybrid-compounds (2ab, 3ab, 4, and 5) were synthesized by the condensation of 5- or 6-carboxy-fluorescein and 4-amino-TEMPO (2ab), 5- or 6-aminofluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO (3ab), and fluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO (4), or by reaction of the 3-hydroxyl group of fluorescein with DPROXYL-3-ylmethyl methanesulfonate (5). Fluorescence intensities (around 520 nm) after reduction of the radical increased to 1.43-, 1.38-, and 1.61-folds for 2a, 2b and 3b respectively; 3a alone exhibited a decrease in intensity on reduction. Since 4 was readily solvolyzed in PBS or even methanol to afford fluorescein and 4-carboxy-TEMPO, its fluorescence change could not be measured. Hybrid compound 5 containing an ether-linkage between the fluorescein phenol and 3-hydroxymethyl-DPROXYL hydroxyl centers, was stable and on reduction, showed a maximum increase (3.21-fold) in relative fluorescence intensity in PBS (pH 5.0), despite its remarkably low absolute fluorescence intensity.

The invention relates to a non-canonical amino acid of the formula I, namely A - L - X, A is a lysine or a tyrosine, L is a linker or absent, and X is an aminoxyl radical, and if A is lysine, L is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the N-epsilon atom of the lysine; and if A is tyrosine, L is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine or, if L is absent, X is bound to the phenolic hydroxyl of the tyrosine. Moreover, the invention also relates to a method for introducing a spin label into a protein and to a modified pyrrolysyl-tRNA-synthetase.
