Reactive Nitrogen Species Reactivities with Nitrones: Theoretical and Experimental Studies [PDF]
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2012 Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) such as nitrogen dioxide ((•)NO(2)), peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), and nitrosoperoxycarbonate (ONOOCO(2)(-)) are among the most damaging species present in biological systems due to their ability to cause modification of key biomolecular systems through oxidation, nitrosylation, and nitration.

Oxidative DNA Damage and Repair: Mechanisms, Mutations, and Relation to Diseases
Antioxidants, 2023 Oxidative DNA damage (ODD) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is an inevitable tradeoff for using oxidation processes by living cells as a source of energy [...]

2-Styrylchromones: Cytotoxicity and Modulation of Human Neutrophils’ Oxidative Burst
Pharmaceuticals, 2022 Neutrophils are polymorphonuclear leukocytes recruited to sites of acute inflammation, in response to pathogen invasion and tissue injury. The modulation of their activity, especially oxidative burst, may be important to control the inflammatory process.

Bioimaging Probes for Reactive Oxygen Species and Reactive Nitrogen Species
Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 2009 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play key roles in many pathogenic processes, including carcinogenesis, inflammation, ischemia-reperfusion injury and signal transduction. Also, reactive nitrogen species (RNS) cause various biological events such as neurodegenerative disorders.
