As the foundation of the land grant mission at Montana State University, the College of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station provide instruction in traditional and innovative degree programs and conduct research on old and new challenges for Montana’s agricultural community. This integration creates opportunities for students and faculty to excel through hands-on learning, to serve through campus and community engagement, to explore unique solutions to distinct and interesting questions and to connect Montanans with the global community through research discoveries and outreach.

    Evaluation of Nitric Oxide-Donating Properties of 11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one Oxime (IQ-1) by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
    (MDPI AG, 2024-08) Andrianov, Viacheslav V.; Schepetkin, Igor A.; Bazan, Leah V.; Gainutdinov, Khalil L.; Kovrizhina, Anastasia R.; Atochin, Dmitriy N.; Khlebnikov, Andrei I.
    IQ-1 (11H-indeno[1,2-b]quinoxalin-11-one oxime) is a specific c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor with anticancer and neuro- and cardioprotective properties. Because aryloxime derivatives undergo cytochrome P450-catalyzed oxidation to nitric oxide (NO) and ketones in liver microsomes, NO formation may be an additional mechanism of IQ-1 pharmacological action. In the present study, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of the Fe2+ complex with diethyldithiocarbamate (DETC) as a spin trap and hemoglobin (Hb) was used to detect NO formation from IQ-1 in the liver and blood of rats, respectively, after IQ-1 intraperitoneal administration (50 mg/kg). Introducing the spin trap and IQ-1 led to signal characteristics of the complex (DETC)2-Fe2+-NO in rat liver. Similarly, the introduction of the spin trap components and IQ-1 resulted in an increase in the Hb-NO signal for both the R- and the T-conformers in blood samples. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations were in accordance with the experimental data and indicated that the NO formation of IQ-1 through the action of superoxide anion radical is thermodynamically favorable. We conclude that the administration of IQ-1 releases NO during its oxidoreductive bioconversion in vivo.
