Fig 7. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR)-spin trapping experiments.
a. An example of an EPR spectrum of superoxide anion created upon photoexcitation of imidazoacridinone 1330 alone and in the presence of NADH. b. Comparison of the coefficient a indicating the efficiency in superoxide anion creation derived from the EPR spectra of different irradiated imidazoacridinone derivatives (indicated in X-axis) in the presence and absence of NADH. Riboflavin was used as a positive control photosensitizer that efficiently generates superoxide anion in the absence of NADH.
