TEMPOL-H
TEMPOL-H is the reduced hydroxylamine form of the stable nitroxide radical Tempol (HY-100561), and serves as the active metabolite of OT-551 (HY-W556870). TEMPOL-H acts as a potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. TEMPOL-H protects retinal pigment epithelial cells from acute light-induced damage, and protects mice from lethal whole-body radiation. TEMPOL-H inhibits lens opacification in mice, prevents glutathione loss in rat lenses under stress, blocks protein leakage in rhesus monkey lenses under stress, and maintains the 3H-choline accumulation capacity of the lens. TEMPOL-H can be used in studies related to light-induced retinal pigment epithelial degeneration and age-related cataract.

Biological Activity
TEMPOL-H inhibits photo-oxidative damage induced by short-wavelength light in lipofuscin fluorophore-loaded retinal pigment epithelial cells in vitro[1].
Tempol-H (4 mM; 18-20 h) significantly preserves 3H-choline accumulation in organ-cultured Sprague Dawley rat lenses damaged by induction with 250 μM H2O2[3].
Tempol-H (4 mM; 24 h) inhibits 1.0 mM H2O2-induced lens opacification in Sprague Dawley rat organ cultures maintained for 24 hours[3].
Tempol-H (4 mM; 18 h) prevents glutathione loss in lenses from Sprague Dawley rats treated with 1.5 mM H2O2 during 18 h organ culture[3].
Tempol-H (4 mM; 5 h) inhibits oxidative aggregation of water-soluble bovine lens crystallins treated with flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and visible light[3].
Tempol-H (1-4 mM; 9 days) inhibits xylose (HY-N0537)-induced opacification of rhesus monkey lenses during 9 days of organ culture[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Tempol-H (325 mg/kg; i.p.; single administration; 5-10 minutes prior to irradiation) acts as an in vivo radioprotector in female C3H mice against lethality induced by whole-body irradiation, with a dose modification factor of 1.3[2].

-
Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (6-7 weeks of age; light-induced retinal pigment epithelium degeneration model)[1]
-
Dosage:100 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose 30 minutes prior to light exposure
-
Result:Showed no significant difference in retinal pigment epithelium cell nuclei count between light-exposed inferior hemisphere eyes and non-light-exposed control eyes.
Demonstrated a significantly higher retinal pigment epithelium damage index than 100 mg/kg OT-551 in the superior hemisphere of light-exposed eyes.
-
Animal Model:C3H mice (female, 60-80 days old, 20-30 g, whole-body γ-irradiation with 137Cs source at 1 Gy/min dose rate)[2]
-
Dosage:325 mg/kg
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose; 5-10 minutes pre-irradiation
-
Result:Provided radioprotection against whole-body radiation-induced lethality at 30 days: near-complete survival was observed at 8 Gy and 9 Gy, with protection seen up to 13 Gy.
Achieved a dose modification factor (DMF) of 1.3.
