An electron spin resonance study of the reduction of peroxides by anthracycline semiquinones

Direct and spin-trapping electron spin resonance methods have been used to study the reactivity of semiquinone radicals from the anthracycline antibiotics daunorubicin and adriamycin towards peroxides (hydrogen peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide). Semiquinone radicals were generated by one-electron reduction of anthracyclines, using xanthine/xanthine oxidase. It is shown that the semiquinones are effective reducing agents for all the peroxides. From spin-trapping experiments it is inferred that the radical product is either OH (from H2O2) or an alkoxyl radical (from the hydroperoxides) which undergoes beta-scission to give the methyl radical. The rate constant for reaction of semiquinone with H2O2 is estimated to be approx. 10(4)-10(5) M-1 X s-1. The reduction does not appear to require catalysis by metal ions.

Chemical and biochemical aspects of superoxide radicals and related species of activated oxygen

The spectrum of biological processes in which oxygen is used by living systems is quite large, and the products include some damaging species of activated oxygen, particularly the superoxide radical (O-.2) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Superoxide radicals and hydrogen peroxide, in turn, can lead to the formation of other damaging species: hydroxyl radicals (.OH) and singlet oxygen (1O2). Hydroxyl radicals react with organic compounds to give secondary free radicals that, in the presence of oxygen, yield peroxy radicals, peroxides, and hydroperoxides. Formation, interconversion, and reactivity of O-.2 and related activated oxygen species, methods available for their detection, and the basis of their biological toxicity are briefly reviewed.     

Salivary thiocyanate/nitrite inhibits hydroxylation of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid induced by hydrogen peroxide/Fe(II) systems under acidic conditions: possibility of thiocyanate/nitrite-dependent scavenging of hydroxyl radical in the stomach

Formation of OH radicals in the stomach is possible by Fenton-type reactions, as gastric juice contains ascorbic acid (AA), iron ions and H2O2. An objective of the present study is to elucidate the effects of salivary SCN- and NO2- on the hydroxylation of salicylic acid which was induced by H2O2/Fe(II) and AA/H2O2/Fe(II) systems. Thiocyanate ion inhibited the hydroxylation of salicylic acid by the above systems in acidic buffer solutions and in acidified saliva. The inhibition by SCN- was deduced to be due to SCN- -dependent scavenging of OH radicals. Nitrite ion could enhance the SCN- -dependent inhibition of the hydroxylation induced by AA/H2O2/Fe(II) systems. The enhancement was suggested to be due to scavenging of OH radicals by NO which was formed by the reactions among AA, HNO2 and SCN- contained in the reaction mixture. The concentrations of SCN- and NO2-, which were effective for the inhibition, were in ranges of their normal salivary concentrations. These results suggest that salivary SCN- can cooperate with NO2- to protect stomach from OH radicals formed by AA/H2O2/Fe(II) systems under acidic conditions.     

Interactions between metal ions and carbohydrates: the coordination behavior of neutral erythritol to transition metal ions

The single crystals of coordinated complexes of neutral erythritol (C4H10O4) with various transition metal ions were synthesized and studied using FT-IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Two CuCl2-erythritol complexes (denoted as CuE(I) and CuE(II)) were obtained. In CuE(I), Cu2+ coordinates with two chloride ions and four OH groups from two erythritol molecules. Two copper centers are linked by one erythritol molecule to form a zigzag chain. For CuE(II), each Cu2+ coordinates with two OH groups from an erythritol molecule and two chloride ions. The crystal of CuE(II) contains complexed and free erythritol, the dimers of [Cu2Cl4(C4H10O4)] further form a [Cu2Cl4(C4H10O4)]infinity chain via secondary Cu...Cl bonds, both the dimer unit of [Cu2Cl4.(C4H10O4)] and non-coordinated C4H10O4 unit exist side by side in the crystal. MnCl2-erythritol complex whose structure is similar to CuE(I) is also acquired. The OH groups of erythritol act as ligand to coordinate to metal ions on one hand, one the other hand, OH groups form hydrogen bonds network that link chain and layer together to build three-dimensional structures.     

Molecular conformation of ascidiacyclamide, a cytotoxic cyclic peptide from Ascidian: X-ray analyses of its free form and solvate crystals.

In order to investigate the conformational variation of ascidiacyclamide, a cytotoxic cyclic peptide from marine tunicate Ascidian, single crystals were prepared from ethanol and aqueous ethanol solutions as its free form (crystal I) and H2O/0.5 C2H5OH solvate (crystal II), respectively, and were determined by the x-ray diffraction method. Crystal I showed a pseudo C2-symmetric saddle-shaped rectangular conformation. Similar conformations were also observed in crystal II, where there were two crystallographically independent C2-symmetric molecules (named Mol-A and -B) per asymmetric unit. Mol-A and -B included H2O and H2O/C2H5OH solvents within their ring structures, respectively. These water and ethanol molecules were located on the crystallographic dyad axes, and were stabilized by the van der Waals contacts (including hydrogen bonds) with the polar-ring N atoms and nonpolar D-Val side-chain atoms. The conformational characteristics of ascidiacyclamide and its fluctuation/variation were discussed based on the present and previously reported x-ray results.     

Peroxiredoxin I and II inhibit H2O2-induced cell death in MCF-7 cell lines

Apoptosis is known to be induced by direct oxidative damage due to oxygen-free radicals or hydrogen peroxide or by their generation in cells by the actions of injurious agents. Together with glutathione peroxidase and catalase, peroxiredoxin (Prx) enzymes play an important role in eliminating peroxides generated during metabolism. We investigated the role of Prx enzymes during cellular response to oxidative stress. Using Prx isoforms-specific antibodies, we investigated the presence of Prx isoforms by immunoblot analysis in cell lysates of the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Treatment of MCF-7 with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resulted in the dose-dependent expressions of Prx I and II at the protein and mRNA levels. To investigate the physiologic relevance of the Prx I and II expressions induced by H2O2, we compared the survivals of MCF10A normal breast cell line and MCF-7 breast cancer cell line following exposure to H2O2. The treatment of MCF10A with H2O2 resulted in rapid cell death, whereas MCF-7 was resistant to H2O2. In addition, we found that Prx I and II transfection enabled MCF10A cells to resist H2O2-induced cell death. These findings suggest that Prx I and II have important functions as inhibitors of cell death during cellular response to oxidative stress.

Inhibition of peroxidase-catalyzed reactions by deferoxamine

Phagocytes generate superoxide (O2-.) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and their interaction in an iron-catalyzed reaction to form hydroxyl radicals (OH.) (Haber-Weiss reaction) has been proposed. Deferoxamine chelates iron in a catalytically inactive form, and thus inhibition by deferoxamine has been employed as evidence for the involvement of OH. generated by the Haber-Weiss reaction. We report here that deferoxamine also inhibits reactions catalyzed by the peroxidases of phagocytes, i.e., myeloperoxidase (MPO) and eosinophil peroxidase (EPO). The reactions inhibited include iodination in the presence and absence of chloride and the oxidation of guaiacol. Iodination by MPO and H2O2 is stimulated by chloride due to the intermediate formation of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Iodination by reagent HOCl also is inhibited by deferoxamine with the associated consumption of HOCl. Iron saturation of deferoxamine significantly decreased but did not abolish its inhibitory effect on iodination by MPO + H2O2 or HOCl. Deferoxamine did not affect the absorption spectrum of MPO, suggesting that it does not react with or remove the heme iron. The conversion of MPO to Compound II by H2O2 was not seen when H2O2 was added to MPO in the presence of deferoxamine, suggesting either that deferoxamine inhibited the formation of Compound II by acting as an electron donor for MPO Compound I or that deferoxamine immediately reduced the Compound II formed. Iodination by stimulated neutrophils also was inhibited by deferoxamine, suggesting an effect on peroxidase-catalyzed reactions in intact cells. Thus deferoxamine has multiple effects on the formation and activity of phagocyte-derived oxidants and therefore its inhibitory effect on oxidant-dependent damage needs to be interpreted with caution.     

Metabolic mechanisms of methanol/formaldehyde in isolated rat hepatocytes: carbonyl-metabolizing enzymes versus oxidative stress

Methanol (CH(3)OH), a common industrial solvent, is metabolized to toxic compounds by several enzymatic as well as free radical pathways. Identifying which process best enhances or prevents CH(3)OH-induced cytotoxicity could provide insight into the molecular basis for acute CH(3)OH-induced hepatoxicity. Metabolic pathways studied include those found in 1) an isolated hepatocyte system and 2) cell-free systems. Accelerated Cytotoxicity Mechanism Screening (ACMS) techniques demonstrated that CH(3)OH had little toxicity towards rat hepatocytes in 95% O(2), even at 2M concentration, whereas 50 mM was the estimated LC(50) (2h) in 1% O(2), estimated to be the physiological concentration in the centrilobular region of the liver and also the target region for ethanol toxicity. Cytotoxicity was attributed to increased NADH levels caused by CH(3)OH metabolism, catalyzed by ADH1, resulting in reductive stress, which reduced and released ferrous iron from Ferritin causing oxygen activation. A similar cytotoxic mechanism at 1% O(2) was previous found for ethanol. With 95% O(2), the addition of Fe(II)/H(2)O(2), at non-toxic concentrations were the most effective agents for increasing hepatocyte toxicity induced by 1M CH(3)OH, with a 3-fold increase in cytotoxicity and ROS formation. Iron chelators, desferoxamine, and NADH oxidizers and ATP generators, e.g. fructose, also protected hepatocytes and decreased ROS formation and cytotoxicity. Hepatocyte protein carbonylation induced by formaldehyde (HCHO) formation was also increased about 4-fold, when CH(3)OH was oxidized by the Fenton-like system, Fe(II)/H(2)O(2), and correlated with increased cytotoxicity. In a cell-free bovine serum albumin system, Fe(II)/H(2)O(2) also increased CH(3)OH oxidation as well as HCHO protein carbonylation. Nontoxic ferrous iron and a H(2)O(2) generating system increased HCHO-induced cytotoxicity and hepatocyte protein carbonylation. In addition, HCHO cytotoxicity was markedly increased by ADH1 and ALDH2 inhibitors or GSH-depleted hepatocytes. Increased HCHO concentration levels correlated with increased HCHO-induced protein carbonylation in hepatocytes. These results suggest that CH(3)OH at 1% O(2) involves activation of the Fenton system to form HCHO. However, at higher O(2) levels, radicals generated through Fe(II)/H(2)O(2) can oxidize CH(3)OH/HCHO to form pro-oxidant radicals and lead to increased oxidative stress through protein carbonylation and ROS formation which ultimately causes cell death.
