α-Phenyl-N-tert-butyl Nitrone Has Scavenging Activity Against Singlet Oxygen (1O2) and Attenuates 1O2-Induced Neuronal Cell Death

Scavenging activity of α-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) against singlet oxygen (1O2) and its effects on 1O2-induced neuronal cell death were examined. PBN at 1–4mM dose-dependently suppressed 1O2 released from activated human neutrophils. PBN did not react with hydrogen peroxide or hypochlorite a...
