Lipid alkyl radicals generated from polyunsaturated fatty acids via chemical or enzymatic H-abstraction have been a pathologically important target to quantify. In the present study, we established a novel method for quantification of lipid alkyl radicals via nitroxyl radical spin trapping technique. These labile lipid alkyl radicals were converted into nitroxyl radical-lipid alkyl radical adducts by using 3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl (Cm P) (PO/W = 3) as a spin trapping agent. The resulting Cm P-lipid alkyl radical adducts were determined by HPLC with post column on-line thermal decomposition system, in which the adducts were degraded into nitroxyl radical by heating at 100°C for 2 min. The resulting nitroxyl radicals were selectively and sensitively detected by electrochemical detector (ECD). Through the present method, we, for the first time, succeeded to determine the lipid alkyl radicals generated from linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid via soybean lipoxygenase-1 or radical initiator, 2,2-azobis(2,4-dimethyl-valeronitrile) (AMVN).
