The initial metabolite formed by most mammalian nitroreductases is the nitro anion free radical. We, as well as others, have proposed that nitroheterocyclic anion radicals covalently bind to protein, DNA, or thiol compounds such as reduced glutathione (GSH). Our results indicate that even at 100 mM GSH does not affect the steady-state concentration of the nitro anion free radical of N-[4-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]acetamide (NFTA) in rat hepatic microsomal or xanthine oxidase incubations. The steady-state ESR amplitude of the anion radical is also unchanged by the addition of BSA or DNA. Similar results are obtained with nitrofurazone and nitrofurantoin. The reactive chemical species which binds to tissue macromolecules and GSH upon the reduction of nitrofurans remains unknown, but the anion free radical metabolite can be excluded from consideration. 相似文献

The o-, m-, and p-nitrobenzyl chlorides are reduced aerobically and anaerobically by NADPH and rat hepatic microsomes. Under aerobic conditions, these nitro anion radicals reduce oxygen to superoxide as demonstrated by oxygen consumption and spin trapping of superoxide with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide. At low oxygen concentration, the p- and o-nitro anion radicals undergo intramolecular electron transfer and decompose to carbon-centered nitrobenzyl radicals, which can be spin-trapped with t-nitrosobutane. The p-nitrobenzyl (o-nitrobenzyl) radical adduct was characterized by a nitrogen hyperfine splitting of 16.5 G (17.1 G) and two equivalent beta-hydrogen hyperfine splittings of 10.6 G (14.4 G). The spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide also yields adducts characteristic of carbon-centered free radicals. This unimolecular decomposition is much faster than the disproportionation decay, which is characteristic of most nitro anion radicals, and the primary o- and p-nitrobenzyl chloride anion radicals never achieve detectable concentrations. The nitrobenzyl radical trapping is not inhibited by metyrapone or CO. In contrast, the m-nitrobenzyl anion radical does achieve a detectable steady-state concentration, which is increased 20% by either metyrapone or a CO atmosphere. 相似文献

The ability of ten imidazolyl nitrones to directly scavenge free radicals (R(*)) generated in polar ((*)OH, O(*)(2)(-), SO(*)(3)(-) cysteinyl, (*)CH(3)) or in apolar (CH(3)-(*)CH-CH(3)) media has been studied. When oxygen or sulfur-centered radicals are generated in polar media, EPR spectra are not or weakly observed with simple spectral features. Strong line intensities and more complicated spectra are observed with the isopropyl radical generated in an apolar medium. Intermediate results are obtained with (*)CH(3) generated in a polar medium. EPR demonstrates the ability of these nitrones to trap radicals to the nitrone C(alpha) atom (alpha radical adduct) and to the imidazol C(5) atom (5-radical adduct). Beside the nucleophilic addition of the radical to the C(alpha) atom, the EPR studies suggest a two-step mechanism for the overall reaction of R(*) attacking the imidazol core. The two steps seem to occur very fast with the (*)OH radical obtained in a polar medium and slower with the isopropyl radical prepared in benzene. In conclusion, imidazolyl nitrones present a high capacity to trap and stabilize carbon-centered radicals. 相似文献

Reactions of sulfasalazine (SAZ) and its metabolites, 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine (SP), with various oxidizing and reducing free radicals (hydroxyl, haloperoxyl, one-electron oxidizing, lipid peroxyl, glutathiyl, superoxide, tryptophanyl, etc.) have been studied to understand the mechanistic aspects of its action against free radicals produced during inflammation. Nanosecond pulse radiolysis technique coupled with transient spectrophotometry has been used for in situ generation of free radicals and to follow their reaction pathways. The transients produced in these reactions have been assigned and radical scavenging rate constants have been measured. In addition to scavenging of various primary and secondary free radicals by SAZ, 5-ASA and SP, 5-ASA has also been observed to efficiently scavenge radicals of biomolecules. 5-ASA has been found to be the active moiety of SAZ involved in the scavenging of oxidizing free radicals whereas reduction of SAZ produced molecular radical anion. The study suggests that free radical scavenging activity of 5-ASA may be a major path of pharmacological action of SAZ against inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). 相似文献

The spin trapping behavior of several ethyl-substituted EMPO derivatives, cis- and trans-5-ethoxycarbonyl-3-ethyl-5-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide (3,5-EEMPO), 5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-ethyl-5-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide (4,5-EEMPO), cis- and trans-5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-ethyl-3-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide (5,3-EEMPO), and 5-ethoxycarbonyl-5-ethyl-4-methyl-pyrroline N-oxide (5,4-EEMPO), toward a series of different oxygen- and carbon-centered radicals, is described. Considerably different stabilities of the superoxide adducts (ranging from about 12 to 55 min) as well as the formation of other radical adducts were observed. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate the ability of immune cells of the small intestine to produce highly reactive free radicals from the food additive sulfites. These free radicals were characterized with a spin-trapping technique using the spin traps 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). In the presence of glucose, purified lymphocytes from intestinal Peyer's patches (PP) and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) to produce superoxide and hydroxyl DEPMPO radical adducts. The formation of these adducts was inhibited by superoxide dismutase or diphenyleneiodonium chloride, indicating that these cells produced superoxide radical during reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activation. With the treatment of sodium sulfite, PMA-stimulated PP lymphocytes produced a DEPMPO-sulfite radical adduct and an unknown radical adduct. When DEPMPO was replaced with DMPO, DMPO-sulfite and hydroxyl radical adducts were detected. The latter adduct resulted from DMPO oxidation by sulfate radical, which was capable of oxidizing formate or ethanol. Oxygen consumption rates were further increased after the addition of sulfite to PMA-stimulated lymphocytes, suggesting the presence of sulfiteperoxyl radical. Taken together, oxidants generated by stimulated lymphocytes oxidized sulfite to sulfite radical, which subsequently formed sulfiteperoxyl and sulfate radicals. The latter two radicals are highly reactive, contributing to increased oxidative stress, which may lead to sulfite toxicity, altered functions in intestinal lymphocytes, or both. 相似文献

Free radical intermediates were detected by the electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping technique upon protonation/deprotonation reactions of carotenoid and beta-ionone radical ions. The hyperfine coupling constants of their spin adducts obtained by spectral simulation indicate that carbon-centered radicals were trapped. The formation of these species was shown to be a result of chemical oxidation of neutral compounds by Fe(3+) or I(2) followed by deprotonation of the corresponding radical cations or addition of nucleophilic agents to them. Bulk electrolysis reduction of beta-ionone and carotenoids also leads to the formation of free radicals via protonation of the radical anions. Two different spin adducts were detected in the reaction of carotenoid polyenes with piperidine in the presence of 2-methyl-2-nitroso-propane (MNP). One is attributable to piperidine radicals (C(5)H(10)N*) trapped by MNP and the other was identified as trapped neutral carotenoid (beta-ionone) radical produced via protonation of the radical anion. Formation of these radical anions was confirmed by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. It was found that the ability of carotenoid radical anions/cations to produce neutral radicals via protonation/deprotonation is more pronounced for unsymmetrical carotenoids with terminal electron-withdrawing groups. This effect was confirmed by the radical cation deprotonation energy (H(D)) estimated by semiempirical calculations. The results indicate that the ability of carotenoid radical cations to deprotonate decreases in the sequence: beta-ionone > unsymmetrical carotenoids > symmetrical carotenoids. The minimum H(D) values were obtained for proton abstraction from the C(4) atom and the C(5)-methyl group of the cyclohexene ring. It was assumed that deprotonation reaction occurs preferentially at these positions. 相似文献

We studied the mechanism of formation of oxygen radicals during ferrous ion-induced decomposition of linoleic acid hydroperoxide using the spin trapping and chemiluminescence methods. The formation of the superoxide anion (O2*-) was verified in the present study. The hydroxyl radical is also generated through Fenton type decomposition of hydrogen peroxide produced on disproportionation of O2*-. A carbon-centered radical was detected using 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) as a spin trap. Alkoxyl radical formation is essential for the conversion of linoleic acid hydroperoxide into the peroxyl radical by ferrous ion. It is likely that the alkoxyl radical [R1CH(O*)R2] is converted into the hydroxylcarbon radical [R1C*(OH)R2] in water, and that this carbon radical reacts with oxygen to give the alpha-hydroxyperoxyl radical [R1R2C(OH)OO*], which decomposes into the carbocation [R1C+(OH)R2] and O2*-. 相似文献

The anaerobic enzymatic one-electron reduction of uroporphyrin I (in the absence of light) by the ferredoxin/ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase system was investigated using NADPH as the source of reducing equivalents. The porphyrin anion free radical metabolite formed by one-electron reduction of the parent molecule was detected with ESR spectroscopy. The ESR spectrum exhibited a singlet (g = 2.0021) with a 5.4-G peak-to-peak linewidth. The reduction process was also investigated under aerobic conditions. The reduction of molecular oxygen to superoxide anion radical by the porphyrin anion radical was demonstrated by using the ESR technique of spin trapping. The ESR spectra of the spin-trapped oxygen-derived radicals were superoxide dismutase-sensitive and catalase-insensitive, supporting the assignment of the trapped radical to the superoxide anion radical. These aerobic experiments demonstrate electron transfer from the porphyrin anion radical to molecular oxygen. The anaerobic reduction of Photofrin II by hepatic microsomes and the ferredoxin/ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase system to a porphyrin anion radical was also investigated. Free radical formation by ferredoxin: NADP+ oxidoreductase is totally dependent upon ferredoxin. The ESR spectrum of this porphyrin free radical also exhibited a singlet (g = 2.0026) with a 15-G peak-to-peak linewidth. 相似文献

Single crystals of 2'-deoxyguanosine 5'-monophosphate were X-irradiated at 10 K and at 65 K, receiving doses between 4.5 and 200 kGy, and studied using K-band EPR, ENDOR, and field-swept ENDOR (FSE) spectroscopy. Evidence for five base-centered and more than nine sugar-centered radicals was found at 10 K following high radiation doses. The base-centered radicals were the charged anion, the N10-deprotonated cation, the C8 H-addition radical, a C5 H-addition radical, and finally a stable radical so far unidentified but with parameters similar to those expected for the charged cation. The sugar-centered radicals were the H-abstraction radicals centered at C1', C2', C3', and C5', an alkoxy radical centered at O3', a C5'-centered radical in which the C5'-O5' phosphoester bond appears to be ruptured, a radical tentatively assigned to a C4'-centered radical involving a sugar-ring opening, as well as several additional unidentified sugar radicals. Most radicals were formed regardless of radiation doses. All radicals formed following low doses (4.5-9 kGy) were also observed subsequent to high doses (100-200 kGy). The relative amount of some of the radicals was dose dependent, with base radicals dominating at low doses, and a larger relative yield of sugar radicals at high doses. Above 200 K a transformation from a sugar radical into a base radical occurred. Few other radical transformations were observed. In the discussion of primary radicals fromed in DNA, the presence of sugar-centered radicals has been dismissed since they are not apparent in the EPR spectra. The present data illustrate how radicals barely traceable in the EPR spectra may be identified due to strong ENDOR resonances. Also, the observation of a stable radical with parameters similar to those expected for the charge guanine cation is interesting with regard to the nature of the primary radicals stabilized in X-irradiated DNA. 相似文献

Electron spin resonance spectra are observed during the enzymatic reduction of many nitrophenyl derivatives by rat hepatic microsomes or mitochondria. The spectra indicate that nitroaromatic anion radicals are present and are freely rotating in aqueous solution at a steady-state concentration of 0.1-6 muM. The rate of formation of p-nitrobenzoate (NBZO) dianion radical in microsomal incubates is consistent with the radical being an obligate intermediate in the reduction of NBZO to p-aminobenzoic acid. A model system consisting of NBZO, NADPH, and FMN, but no heme-containing compounds, also reduced NBZO to the NBZO dianion free radical. The steady-state concentration of the anion radicals in microsomal systems is not altered by CO. This observation, together with the results from the model system, suggests that the formation of nitroaromatic anion radicals is mediated through a flavine and not cytochrome P-450. The oxidation of the anion radical intermediate by O2 to the parent nitro compound is proposed to account for the well-known O2 inhibition of microsomal nitroreductase. 相似文献

Electrochemical studies on actinomycin D (1) and two analogs, 2-amino-3-phenoxazone (2) and 1,2,4-trichloro-7-nitrophenoxazone (3) were analyzed by polarography and ESR spectroscopy. The polarograms of the three compounds in acetonitrile all show two reduction waves. ESR experiments confirm that the first reduction wave corresponds to a one-electron transfer process which produces a phenoxazone free radical anion and the second wave corresponds to a subsequent one-electron transfer producing a diamagnetic dianion. Substitution with electron-withdrawing groups such as NO2 (at C-7) and chloro (at C-1, C-2 and C-4)3 facilitated the reduction of the phenoxazone ring system to a free radical (i.e., half-wave potentials; 1, -0.815 V; 2, -0.920 V; 3, -0.135 V). It was found, by computer simulation of the ESR spectra, that the spin density in the electrochemically generated free radicals from 1, 2 and 3 was preferentially located in the benzenoid ring and at the N-10 nitrogen. For radicals obtained from 1 and 2, only a small residual spin density could be detected in the quinoid ring. Since 1 can be metabolized to a free radical in cells, these free radical forms of 1 and its analogs may represent reactive forms of the phenoxazone nucleus. 相似文献

We have demonstrated with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) that organic hydroperoxides are decomposed to free radicals by both human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and purified myeloperoxidase. When tert-butyl hydroperoxide was incubated with either PMNs or purified myeloperoxidase, peroxyl, alkoxyl, and alkyl radicals were trapped by the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO). In the case of ethyl hydroperoxide, DMPO radical adducts of peroxyl and alkyl (identified as alpha-hydroxyethyl when trapped by tert-nitrosobutane) radicals were detected. Radical adduct formation was inhibited when azide was added to the incubation mixture. Myeloperoxidase-deficient PMNs produced DMPO radical adduct intensities at only about 20-30% of that of normal PMNs. Our studies suggest that myeloperoxidase in PMNs is primarily responsible for the decomposition of organic hydroperoxides to free radicals. The finding of the free radical formation derived from organic hydroperoxides by PMNs may be related to the cytotoxicity of this class of compounds. 相似文献

The spin trap 5-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) forms a superoxide adduct with a half-life of almost 15 min. DEPMPO is very hydrophilic and its use for the detection of radicals in the lipid phase (lipid-derived radicals and superoxide generated in the lipid phase) is therefore limited due to its very low concentration in the lipid phase. For the detection of lipid-derived radicals, three derivatives of DEPMPO with increasing degree of lipid solubility have been investigated: 5-(di-n-propoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DPPMPO), 5-(di-n-butoxyphosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DBPMPO), and 5-(bis-(2-ethylhexyloxy)phosphoryl)-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEHPMPO). As compared with the spin trap DMPO, the half-lives of the respective superoxide adducts were clearly higher in aqueous solutions of the spin traps, which facilitates qualitative ESR measurements. The stability of the superoxide spin adducts formed with the various lipophilic spin traps in aqueous buffer were similar to those observed with DEPMPO (half-life: 7-11 min.). In model experiments using Fe(3+)-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of methanol or tert-butanol to the respective spin trap the respective alkoxyl radical adducts were formed in aqueous solution as transient species in the presence of high concentrations of the alcohol. Upon dilution with water the alkoxyl group was substituted by water, giving the respective hydroxyl adduct of the spin trap. Care must therefore be taken when Fenton-type reactions are used for the generation of radicals such as the use of Fe(2+) complexes with phosphate or DTPA or inactivation of iron by addition of "Desferal" (Novarti's Pharma GmbH, Vienna, Austria) after a short incubation time. Addition of Fe(2+) under anaerobic conditions to an aqueous suspension of linoleic acid hydroperoxide and the spin trap resulted in the detection of three different species: a carbon-centered radical adduct, an acyl radical adduct, and the hydroxyl adduct. In the presence of oxygen a different species was observed with DEPMPO, DPPMPO, and DBPMPO, which was only slightly suppressed upon the addition of SOD, possibly the respective spin adduct of either the alkylperoxyl radical or, in analogy to DMPO, a secondary alkoxyl radical. 相似文献

The NADPH-supported enzymatic reduction of molecular oxygen by ferredoxin-ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase was investigated. The ESR spin trapping technique was employed to identify the free radical metabolites of oxygen. The spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) was used to trap and identify the oxygen-derived free radicals. [17O]Oxygen was employed to demonstrate that the oxygen-centered radicals arose from molecular oxygen. From the data, the following scheme is proposed: (Formula:see text). The formation of the free hydroxyl radical during the reduction of oxygen was demonstrated with quantitative competition experiments. The hydroxyl radical abstracted hydrogen from ethanol or formate, and the resulting scavenger-derived free radical was trapped with known rate constants. If H2O2 was added to the enzymatic reaction, a stimulation of the production of the hydroxyl radical was obtained. This stimulation was manifested in both the concentration and the rate of formation of the DMPO/hydroxyl radical adduct. Catalase was shown to inhibit formation of the hydroxyl radical adduct, further supporting the formation of hydrogen peroxide as an intermediate during the reduction of oxygen. All three components, ferredoxin, ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase, and NADPH, were required for reduction. Ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase reduces ferredoxin, which in turn is responsible for the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and ultimately the hydroxyl radical. The effect of transition metal chelators on the DMPO/hydroxyl radical adduct concentration suggests that the reduction of chelated iron by ferredoxin is responsible for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to the hydroxyl radical via Fenton-type chemistry. 相似文献

The effect of bicarbonate anion (HCO(3)(-)) on the peroxidase activity of copper, zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1) was investigated using three structurally different probes: 5, 5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), tyrosine, and 2, 2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenzothiazoline]-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). Results indicate that HCO(3)(-) enhanced SOD/H(2)O(2)-dependent (i) hydroxylation of DMPO to DMPO-OH as measured by electron spin resonance, (ii) oxidation and nitration of tyrosine to dityrosine, nitrotyrosine, and nitrodityrosine as measured by high pressure liquid chromatography, and (iii) oxidation of ABTS to the ABTS cation radical as measured by UV-visible spectroscopy. Using oxygen-17-labeled water, it was determined that the oxygen atom present in the DMPO-OH adduct originated from H(2)O and not from H(2)O(2). This result proves that neither free hydroxyl radical nor enzyme-bound hydroxyl radical was involved in the hydroxylation of DMPO. We postulate that HCO(3)(-) enhances SOD1 peroxidase activity via formation of a putative carbonate radical anion. This new and different perspective on HCO(3)(-)-mediated oxidative reactions of SOD1 may help us understand the free radical mechanism of SOD1 and related mutants linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. 相似文献

In this investigation of the radical formation and the reaction of radicals in gamma-irradiated DNA, we report the isolation of putative neutral radicals by the scavenging of holes by Fe(CN)6(4-) and of electrons by Fe(CN)6(3-). Experiments are performed under conditions that emphasize direct and quasi-direct effects (collectively called direct-type effects.) Samples containing Fe(CN)6(4-) show effective scavenging of holes and the ESR spectra obtained arise principally from DNA anion radicals and neutral radicals. On the other hand, for samples containing Fe(CN)6(3-), electron scavenging is highly efficient, and the resulting spectra arise principally from guanine cation radicals and neutral radicals. When both Fe(CN)6(4-) and Fe(CN)6(3-) are present, a near complete scavenging of cation radicals and anion radicals is observed at 77 K, and the ESR spectra that result originate predominantly with neutral radicals which are assigned predominantly to radicals on the sugar phosphate backbone. A notable finding is the presence of spectral components that indicate the formation, through the rupture of the C3'-O bond, of a neutral deoxyribose radical; a concurrent strand break must accompany formation of this radical. This radical was previously reported in argon-ion-irradiated DNA and now, for the first time, is reported in DNA irradiated with low-LET radiation. 相似文献

2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) has been used in vivo to induce colitis. With the nitroreductase of intestinal cells, TNBS underwent redox cycling to produce TNBS-nitro and superoxide radical anions which are thought to be involved in initial oxidative reactions that lead to colonic injury. In this study, we demonstrated that the TNBS desulfonative reaction with tissue amino acids produces sulfite which is subsequently oxidized to sulfite radical. Sulfite radical was measured using a spin trapping methodology. Sulfite radical adducts of 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) or 5-diethoxyphosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO) were detected in a mixture of TNBS and lysine, xanthine oxidase, red blood cells, colonic mucosal or submucosal muscle tissues. TNBS alone did not produce sulfite radical, indicating that its formation required the presence of amino acids. Because sulfite radical is the precursor of highly reactive sulfiteperoxyl and sulfate radicals, our data imply that these sulfite-derived free radicals may also contribute to oxidative reactions leading to colonic injury in TNBS-induced colitis. 相似文献

The ESR method revealed that the reduction of 5-nitrofuran and nitrobenzene in liver homogenate is accomplished by the appearance of the nitro anion radicals. ESR spectrum of nitroxyl radical for nitrobenzene was recorded. Metabolic denitrosation in liver homogenate and the formation of hemoprotein nitrosyl complexes were present for 5-nitrofuran and were absent for nitro- and nitrosobenzene. Quantum chemical calculations of the electron structure for the molecules of 5-nitrosofuran and nitrosobenzene showed that the electronegative oxygen atom in the aromatic system turns to increase the positive charge of C atom bonded to NO group. The process of denitrosation in the molecules of 5-nitrosofuran and 5-N-furylhydroxylamine was proposed to include the reaction of nucleophilic NO group substitution. 相似文献

Free radical scavenging efficiency of Nano-Se in vitro 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
In this study, we showed that smaller size particles of Nano-Se have better scavenging effects on the following free radicals: carbon-centered free radicals (R*) generated from 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-amidinopropane) hydrochloride (AAPH), the relatively stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl (DPPH), the superoxide anion (O2*-) generated from the xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) system, singlet oxygen (1O2) generated by irradiated hemoporphyrin. Furthermore, the three sizes of Nano-Se studied also show protective effects against the oxidation of DNA. The three samples all have potential size-dependent characteristics on scavenging the free radicals. Although in this study we regarded Nano-Se as a whole without considering interactions between BSA and the red selenium nano-particles, there is the possibility that the apparent free radical scavenging effects may be partially contributed by such interactions. 相似文献
