description Superoxide radical anion (O<sub>2</sub><sup>•−</sup>) and its derivatives regulate numerous physiological and pathological processes, which are extensively studied. The aim of our work was to utilize KO<sub>2</sub> as a source of O<sub>2</sub><sup>•−</sup> and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping 5-<i>tert</i>-butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline <i>N</i>-oxide (BMPO) technique for the preparation of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH and/or <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH radicals in water solution without DMSO. The method distinguishes the interactions of various compounds with <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH and/or <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH radicals over time. Here, we show that the addition of a buffered BMPO-HCl mixture to powdered KO<sub>2</sub> formed relatively stable <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH and <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH radicals and H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>, where the <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH/OH ratio depended on the pH. At a final pH of ~6.5–8.0, the concentration of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH radicals was ≥20 times higher than that of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH, whereas at pH 9.0–10.0, the <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH radicals prevailed. The <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH/OH radicals effectively cleaved the plasmid DNA. H<sub>2</sub>S decreased the concentration of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH/OH radicals, whereas the selenium derivatives 1-methyl-4-(3-(phenylselanyl) propyl) piperazine and 1-methyl-4-(4-(phenylselanyl) butyl) piperazine increased the proportion of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OH over the <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH radicals. In conclusion, the presented approach of using KO<sub>2</sub> as a source of O<sub>2</sub><sup>•−</sup>/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and EPR spin trap BMPO for the preparation of <sup>•</sup>BMPO-OOH/OH radicals in a physiological solution could be useful to study the biological effects of radicals and their interactions with compounds.
