The nitroxide radicals such as 4,4-dimethyl-oxazolidine-N-Oxyl (DOXYL) and 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl
pyrrolidine-N-oxyl (PROXYL), both having 5-membered ring, and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine
-N-oxyl (TEMPO), having 6-membered ring, are stable free radicals when no redox-active compounds co-exist.  Therefore, they can be used as ESR spin probes for spin labeling experiments.  When redox-active compounds co-exist, the nitroxide radicals react with them and the nitroxide radicals are oxidized or reduced to be ESR-silent compounds depending on the species of the reacting redox-active compounds.  These reactions can be used to evaluate the redox status of biological system by measuring ESR spectra.  Sometimes, the nitroxide radicals can be used for protecting biological system from oxidative damage by reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radical.  In this presentation, we will show several biological applications of the stable nitroxide radicals by referring our experimental results.
