Background. The evidence exists that radicals are crucial agents necessary for the wound regeneration helping to enhance the repair process. Materials and methods. The lineshape of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the burn wounds measured with the low microwave power (2.2 mW) was numerically analyzed. The experimental spectra were fitted by the sum of two and three lines. Results. The number of the lines in the EPR spectrum corresponded to the number of different groups of radicals in the natural samples after thermal treatment. The component lines were described by Gaussian and Lorentzian functions. The spectra of the burn wounds were superposition of three lines different in shape and in linewidths. The best fitting was obtained for the sum of broad Gaussian, broad Lorentzian, and narrow Lorentzian lines. Dipolar interactions between the unpaired electrons widened the broad Gaussian and broad Lorentzian lines. Radicals with the narrow Lorentzian lines existed mainly in the tested samples. Conclusions. The spectral shape analysis may be proposed as a useful method for determining the number of different groups of radicals in the burn wounds.

The stoichiometry of the adducts formed between copper(II) bis(diethyldithiocarbamate) and pyridine in benzene, toluene, and chloroform and between 3-picoline, 4-picoline, and 3,4-lutidine in benzene are shown to be 1:1. The method employed is that of Scatchard using electron paramagnetic resonance studies.

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method was used to determine the concentration of the antitumor agent Triapine in BEAS-2B cells when Triapine was bound to iron (Fe). Knowledge of the concentration of Fe-Triapine in tumor cells may be useful to adjust the administration of the drug or to adjust iron uptake in tumor cells. An EPR spectrum is obtained for Fe(3+)-Triapine, Fe(3+)(Tp)2+, in BEAS-2B cells after addition of Fe(3+)(Tp)2+. Detection of the low spin signal for Fe(3+)(Tp)2+ shows that the Fe(3+)(Tp)2+ complex is intact in these cells. It is proposed that Triapine acquires iron from transferrin in cells including tumor cells. Here, it is shown that iron from purified Fe-transferrin is transferred to Triapine after the addition of ascorbate. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the EPR method has been used to determine the concentration of an iron antitumor agent in cells.

A new experimental method and a specially designed EPR cell are described for use in the study of chemisorption reactions. By studying the EPR spectrum of a surface both before and after chemisorption, it can be shown whether unpaired d electrons are used in the chemisorption bond and the nature of this bond. The EPR spectra of a cupric chloride surface, both before and after a gaseous ligand (diisopropyl methyl phosphonate) is chemisorbed, are shown and the results are interpreted in terms of the type of bond formed.
