Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of complexes of chloroquine with melanin synthesized from 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) confirmed an important role ofo-semiquinone free radicals during the drug binding by melanin. Chloroquine increases free radical concentration in DOPA-melanin. It has been also demonstrated that chloroquine binding to melanin is modified by metal ions. Co2+ ions reduce and Zn2+ ions increase the concentration of free radicals in both DOPA-melanin and melanin-chloroquine complexes. Free radical properties of melanin strongly depend on the presence of oxygen (O2) in the environment of the sample. Interactions of melanin and oxygen molecules cause a decrease of the free radical concentration in the samples and a narrowing of the EPR lines. Higher values of both spin-spin and spin-lattice relaxation times were determined for melanin samples in air than for evacuated samples. Application of the observed effects in oximetry is suggested.
