| Research Abstract |
I investigated the redox potential, hydrophobicity and T_1 relaxivity of 15 redox sensitive nitroxide probes, using voltametry, EPR spectroscopy and T_1 weighted MRI. The probes were classified in three groups, depending on their hydrophobicity-hydrophilic, slightly hydrophobic and strongly hydrophobic. In each group the probes were classified in two subgroups, depending on its resistance to reduction-rapidly reducing and slowly reducing. Four probes were selected for application in imaging of tissue redox activity in experimental animals using MRI. I established that there is difference in tissue redox activity between early and moderate/terminal stage of cancer development, as well as between tumor core and tumor periphery.
