Generation of superoxide radical during autoxidation of hydroxylamine and an assay for superoxide dismutase.

Accompanying the autoxidation of hydroxylamine at pH 10.2, nitroblue tetrazolium was reduced and nitrite was produced in the presence of EDTA. The rate of autoxidation was negligible below pH 8.0, but sharply increased with increasing pH. The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium was inhibited by superoxide dismutase, indicating the participation of superoxide anion radical in the autoxidation. Hydrogen peroxide stimulated the autoxidation and superoxide dismutase inhibited the hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidation, results which suggest the participation of hydrogen peroxide in autoxidation and in the generation of superoxide radical. An assay for superoxide dismutase using autoxidation of hydroxylamine is described.     

Pulse radiolysis and steady-state analyses of the reaction between hydroethidine and superoxide and other oxidants

Hydroethidine (HE) is a cell-permeable probe used for the intracellular detection of superoxide. Here, we report the direct measurement of the rate constant between hydroethidine and superoxide radical anion using the pulse radiolysis technique. This reaction rate constant was calculated to be ca. 2 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) in water:ethanol (1:1) mixture. The spectral characteristics of the intermediates indicated that the one-electron oxidation product of HE was different from the one-electron reduction product of ethidium (E+). The HPLC-electrochemical measurements of incubation mixtures containing HE and the oxygenated Fenton's reagent (Fe2+/DTPA/H2O2) in the presence of aliphatic alcohols or formate as a superoxide generating system revealed 2-OH-E+ as a major product. Formation of 2-OH-E+ by the Fenton's reagent without additives was shown to be superoxide dismutase-sensitive and we attribute the formation of superoxide radical anion to the one-electron reduction of oxygen by the DTPA-derived radical. Addition of tert-butanol, DMSO, and potassium bromide to the Fenton's system caused inhibition of 2-OH-E+ formation. Results indicate that reducing and oxidizing radicals have differential effects on the formation of 2-OH-E+.     

Generation of superoxide anion radical by alpha-terthienyl in the anal gills of mosquito larvae Aedes aegypti: a new aspect in alpha-terthienyl phototoxicity.

The present study documents that the secondary plant metabolites, especially alpha-terthienyl, exert phototoxic action through inhibition of certain enzymes and generation of singlet oxygen. Some of the reports have emerged exhibiting involvement of free radical generation in vitro by alpha-terthienyl. We provide evidence for the generation of a free radical viz., superoxide anion radical, by alpha-terthienyl employing spin-trapping techniques, probably due to the extension of the latter reaction. On the basis of this observation the phototoxic action of alpha-terthienyl on Aedes aegypti larvae is explained.     

Superoxide formation as a result of interaction of L-lysine with dicarbonyl compounds and its possible mechanism

The EPR signal recorded in reaction medium containing L-lysine and methylglyoxal is supposed to come from the anion radical (semidione) of methylglyoxal and cation radical of methylglyoxal dialkylimine. These free radical inter-mediates might be formed as a result of electron transfer from dialkylimine to methylglyoxal. The EPR signal was observed in a nitrogen atmosphere, whereas only trace amounts of free radicals were registered under aerobic conditions. It has been established that the decay of methylglyoxal anion radical on aeration of the medium is inhibited by superoxide dismutase. Using the methods of EPR spectroscopy and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence, it has been shown that nonenzymatic generation of free radicals including superoxide anion radical takes place during the interaction of L-lysine with methylglyoxal — an intermediate of carbonyl stress — at different (including physiological) pH values. In the course of analogous reaction of L-lysine with malondialdehyde (the secondary product of the free radical derived oxidation of lipids), the formation of organic free radicals or superoxide radical was not observed.     

Enhanced sensitivity of Streptomyces seoulensis to menadione by superfluous lipoamide dehydrogenase

Lipoamide dehydrogenase from Streptomyces seoulensis could facilitate menadione-mediated cytochrome c reduction, which was mostly inhibited by superoxide dismutase, indicating the obvious involvement of superoxide radical anion. In this reaction, the production of superoxide radical anion occurred via a menadione semiquinone radical anion. When exposed to menadione, lipoamide dehydrogenase-overexpressing cells showed a much lower survival rate with a concomitant decrease of intracellular protein thiol than the wild-type strain. These results suggest that lipoamide dehydrogenase is a facilitating agent in the redox cycling of quinone compounds in vivo as well as in vitro and could inevitably increase the potential toxicity of the compounds.     

Kinetics of superoxide-induced exchange among nitroxide antioxidants and their oxidized and reduced forms.

Nitroxide stable radicals generally serve for probing molecular motion in membranes and whole cells, transmembrane potential, intracellular oxygen and pH, and are tested as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. Recently nitroxides were found to protect against oxidative stress. Unlike most low molecular weight antioxidants (LMWA) which are depleted while attenuating oxidative damage, nitroxides can be recycled. In many cases the antioxidative activity of nitroxides is associated with switching between their oxidized and reduced forms. In the present work, superoxide radicals were generated either radiolytically or enzymatically using hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometry was used to follow the exchange between the nitroxide radical and its reduced form; whereas, pulse radiolysis was employed to study the kinetics of hydroxylamine oxidation. The results indicate that: a) The rate constant of superoxide reaction with cyclic hydroxylamines is pH-independent and is lower by several orders of magnitude than the rate constant of superoxide reaction with nitroxides; b) The oxidation of hydroxylamine by superoxide is primarily responsible for the non-enzymatic recycling of nitroxides; c) The rate of nitroxides restoration decreases as the pH decreases because nitroxides remove superoxide more efficiently than is hydroxylamine oxidation; d) The hydroxylamine reaction with oxidized nitroxide (comproportionation) might participate in the exchange among the three oxidation states of nitroxide. However, simulation of the time-dependence and pH-dependence of the exchange suggests that such a comproportionation is too slow to affect the rate of non-enzymatic nitroxide restoration. We conclude that the protective activity of nitroxides in vitro can be distinguished from that of common LMWA due to hydroxylamine oxidation by superoxide, which allows nitroxide recycling and enables its catalytic activity.

Pulse radiolysis study of the reactivity of Trolox C phenoxyl radical with superoxide anion

The reaction between the phenoxyl radical of Trolox C, a water-soluble vitamin E analogue, and superoxide anion radical was examined by using the pulse radiolysis technique. The results indicate that the Trolox C phenoxyl radical may undergo a rapid one-electron transfer from superoxide radical [k = (4.5 +/- 0.5) x 10(8) M-1.S-1] to its reduced form. This finding indicates that superoxide radical might play a role in the repair of vitamin e phenoxyl radical.     

The catalytic effect of the carcinogen "4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide" on the oxidation of vitamin C.

The carcinogen 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide was found to mediate the reaction between ascorbate and oxygen. The oxidation of ascorbate was initiated by the production of the nitro radical anion which reacted with oxygen to produce the oxygen superoxide radical anion, peroxide and hydroxyl radical. The production of partially reduced oxygen intermediates resulted in additional reactions with ascorbate. The consumption of oxygen could be either completely blocked by reacting the nitro radical with ferricytochrome c or partially blocked by the combined effects of superoxide dismutase and catalase. The consumption of oxygen could be enhanced by reducing the hydroxyl radicals with dimethylsulfoxide.     

Production of hydroxyl radical by the synergistic action of fungal laccase and aryl alcohol oxidase

A mechanism for the production of hydroxyl radical (*OH) during the oxidation of hydroquinones by laccase, the ligninolytic enzyme most widely distributed among white-rot fungi, has been demonstrated. Production of Fenton reagent (H2O2 and ferrous ion), leading to *OH formation, was found in reaction mixtures containing Pleurotus eryngii laccase, lignin-derived hydroquinones, and chelated ferric ion. The semiquinones produced by laccase reduced both ferric to ferrous ion and oxygen to superoxide anion radical (O2*-). Dismutation of the latter provided the H2O2 for *OH generation. Although O2*- could also contribute to ferric ion reduction, semiquinone radicals were the main agents accomplishing the reaction. Due to the low extent of semiquinone autoxidation, H2O2 was the limiting reagent in Fenton reaction. The addition of aryl alcohol oxidase and 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol (the natural H2O2-producing system of P. eryngii) to the laccase reaction greatly increased *OH generation, demonstrating the synergistic action of both enzymes in the process.
