Radiation induced defects in timolol: temperature dependent electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis

Abstract

Ionizing radiation-induced antihypertensive drug timolol in powder form was studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique as a function of temperature. The effect of temperature on EPR linewidth, intensity and spectra was investigated. The room temperature EPR spectra of ionizing radiation-induced timolol were recorded in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at a frozen state. The first-order kinetic mechanism rate constant of timolol was calculated. The findings on all EPR experimental data indicated that ionizing radiation-induced stable-free radical species on timolol are characterized by g = 2.0027.
