Tempone (4-Oxo-Tempo) is a stable water-soluble nitro radical. Tempone is widely used as a contrast agent for metabolic activity and hypoxic sensitivity in electron spin resonance spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic nuclear polarization. Tempone reduces superoxide radicals by mimicking the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), thereby reducing the formation of hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrites. Tempone can be used in the study of ischemia-reperfusion injury and acute renal failure[1].
