In the presence of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), free radical adduct formation was demonstrated in rat cerebral microsomes using a spin trap α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butyl-nitrone by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Active microsomes, dihydronicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and ciprofloxacin were necessary for the formation of a spin trap/radical adduct. Adduct formation increased dose-dependently at 0.5–1?mM CPFX concentration for 180?min, and 0.3–1 mM concentration level for 240?min. The addition of SKF 525A, ZnCl2 or desferrioxamine to the incubation system caused complete inhibition of the radical formation. However, pretreatment of microsomal system with superoxide dismutase (SOD) did not induce any protective effect. Induction of lipid peroxidation, and depletion of thiol levels by CPFX were also shown in the system. These results strongly suggested that CPFX produces free radical(s) in the cerebral microsomes of rats. 相似文献

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a potent hepatocarcinogen. We have recently detected [via electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy] free radicals in vivo in rat bile following AFB1 metabolism using the spin trapping [alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butyl nitrone (4-POBN)] technique. The aim of the present study was to identify the trapped free radical intermediates from the in vivo hepatic metabolism of AFB1. Rats were treated simultaneously with AFB1 (3 mg/kg i.p.) and the spin trapping agent 4-POBN (1 g/kg i.p.), and bile was collected over a period of 1 h at 20 min intervals. On-line high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to ESR was used to identify an arachidonic acid-derived radical adduct of 4-POBN in rat bile, and a methyl adduct of 4-POBN from the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with carbon-13-labeled dimethyl sulfoxide ((13)C-DMSO). The effect of metabolic inhibitors, such as desferoxamine mesylate (DFO), an iron chelator, 2-dimethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate hydrochloride (SKF) 525A, a cytochrome P-450 inhibitor, and gadolinium chloride (GdCl(3)), a Kupffer cell inactivator, on in vivo aflatoxin-induced free radical formation were also studied. It was found that there was a significant decrease in radical formation as a result of DFO, SKF525A and GdCl(3) inhibition. Trapped 4-POBN radical adducts were also detected in rat bile following the in vivo metabolism of aflatoxin-M1, one of the hydroxylated metabolites of AFB1. 相似文献

Potassium ferricyanide-elicited reactivation of steroid hydroxylase activities, in hepatic microsomes from SKF 525-A-induced male rats, was used as an indicator of complex formation between individual cytochrome P-450 isozymes and the SKF 525-A metabolite. Induction of male rats with SKF 525-A (50 mg/kg for three days) led to apparent increases in androst-4-ene-3,17-dione 16 beta- and 6 beta-hydroxylation to 6.7- and 3-fold of control activities. Steroid 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was decreased to 0.8-fold of control and 16 alpha-hydroxylation was unchanged. Ferricyanide-elicited dissociation of the SKF 525-A metabolite-P-450 complex revealed an even greater induction of 16 beta- and 6 beta-hydroxylase activities (to 1.8- and 1.6-fold of activities in the absence of ferricyanide). Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity increased 2-fold after ferricyanide but 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity was unaltered. An antibody directed against the male-specific cytochrome P-450 UT-A decreased androst-4-ene-3,17-dione 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity to 13% of control in hepatic microsomes from untreated rats. In contrast, 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity in microsomes from SKF 525-A-induced rats, before and after dissociation with ferricyanide, was reduced by anti UT-A IgG to 32 and 19% of the respective uninhibited controls. Considered together, these observations strongly suggest that the phenobarbital-inducible cytochrome P-450 isozymes PB-B and PCN-E are present in an inactive complexed state in microsomes from SKF 525-A-induced rat liver. Further, the increased susceptibility of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione 16 alpha-hydroxylase activity to inhibition by an antibody to cytochrome P-450 UT-A, following ferricyanide treatment of microsomes, suggests that this male sexually differentiated enzyme is also complexed after in vivo SKF 525-A dosage. In contrast, the constitutive isozyme cytochrome P-450 UT-F, which is active in steroid 7 alpha-hydroxylation, does not appear to be complexed to any extent in microsomes from SKF 525-A-induced rats. 相似文献

Microsomal membranes from the slow-growing Morris hepatoma 9618A catalyze, in the presence of t-butyl hydroperoxide, lower rates of lipid peroxidation than rat liver microsomes. The cytochrome P-450 content of hepatoma microsomes is about 40% that of the liver. SKF 525-A, an inhibitor of mixed-function oxidase, produces in hepatoma microsomes a P-450 type I binding spectrum similar to that of hepatic microsomes. The concentration of the inhibitor required for half-maximal spectral change is about 2 microM in both microsome types. SKF 525-A or ethylmorphine inhibit lipid peroxidation of normal and tumor microsomes to the same extent (about 60%). Treatment of the tumor-bearing rats with 3-methylcholanthrene increases the hepatoma cytochrome P-450 to values comparable to those of control membranes, although the hemoprotein has a peak in the CO-reduced difference absorption spectrum at 448 nm. The cytochrome P-448 induction is accompanied by an almost complete restoration of the hydroperoxide-dependent lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Indigocarmine, which is widely used as a synthetic colouring agent for foods and cosmetics in many countries, was reduced to its leuco form and decolorized by rat liver microsomes with NADPH under anaerobic conditions. The reductase activity was enhanced in liver microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats, and inhibited by diphenyliodonium chloride, a NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450 reductase) inhibitor, but was not inhibited by SKF 525-A or carbon monoxide. Indigocarmine reductase activity was exhibited by purified rat P450 reductase. In contrast, when indigocarmine was incubated with rat liver microsomes and NADPH under aerobic conditions, superoxide radical was produced and its production was inhibited by superoxide dismutase and diphenyliodonium chloride. When indigocarmine was incubated with purified rat P450 reductase in the presence of NADPH, superoxide radical production was enhanced 17.7-fold (similar to the enhancement of indigocarmine-reducing ability) as compared with that of rat liver microsomes. A decrease of one molecule of NADPH was accompanied with formation of about two molecules of superoxide radical. P450 reductase exhibited little reductase activity towards indigo and tetrabromoindigo, which also afforded little superoxide radical under aerobic conditions. These results indicate that indigocarmine is reduced by P450 reductase to its leuco form, and superoxide radical is produced by autoxidation of the leuco form, through a mechanism known as futile redox cycling. 相似文献

Ethanol is metabolized to acetaldehyde by hepatic microsomes in a reaction that requires cytochrome P-450, and a role for hydroxyl radicals has been implicated in this process. However, previous spin trapping experiments have failed to demonstrate the production of hydroxyl radicals by liver microsomes unless iron or other metal catalysts have been added. The spin trapping experiments described in this report provide unambiguous evidence that liver microsomes form hydroxyl radicals during oxidation of NADPH, that the addition of exogenous iron is unnecessary for this process, and that hydroxyl radicals participate in the metabolism of ethanol. Liver microsomes are known to metabolize ethanol to the 1-hydroxyethyl radical, and our experimental data support the conclusion that a significant part of the production of the 1-hydroxethyl radical occurs as a consequence of hydroxyl radical attack on ethanol. Lack of previous observation of microsomal hydroxyl radical production in spin trapping experiments is shown to be related to the contamination of the microsomes with catalase. 相似文献

The susceptibility of polychlorinated ethanes to reductive metabolism was evaluated by measuring the amount of each compound consumed during anaerobic incubations with rat live microsomes; 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane, pentachloroethane and hexachloroethane were metabolized extensively, 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane and the trichloroethanes were metabolized very slowly and the dichloroethanes were not metabolized at a detectable rate. The electron affinity of the chloroethanes was determined by measuring electrochemical half-wave reduction potentials. Chloroethanes with an E1/2 of - 1.35 V or less negative were reduced readily in microsomes while those with an E1/2 equal to or more negative than -1.90 V were not good substrates for enzymatic reduction. Metabolites produced from 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane in vitro were 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE) and 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCEA) and the ratio DCE/TCEA was about 25:1. These conversions were NADPH-dependent and were inhibited by air, CO and metyrapone. In the presence of SKF 525-A, DCE formation was inhibited by 47%. Microsomes from untreated or beta-naphthoflavone-treated rats were 70-90% less active than microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rats. The Km was 0.50 mM and the Vmax was 66 nmol min-1 mg-1 protein for DCE formation. The results are consistent with the proposal that 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane is reduced by hepatic cytochrome(s) P-450 to a free radical intermediate which, for the most part, remains closely associated with the enzyme, is reduced further and undergoes beta-elimination of a chloride ion to form DCE. The occurrence of this reductive pathway in vivo was demonstrated by the quantitation of DCE and TCEA in blood from rats treated with 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane. 相似文献

Aldrin epoxidation was studied in monooxygenase systems reconstituted from purified rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 or P-448, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and sodium cholate. Cytochrome P-450, purified from hepatic microsomes of phenobarbital-treated rats, exhibited a high rate of dieldrin formation. The low enzyme activity observed in the absence of the lipid and sodium cholate was increased threefold by addition of dilauroylphosphatidylcholine and was further stimulated twofold by addition of sodium cholate. The apparent Km for aldrin in the complete system was 7 +/- 2 microM. SKF 525-A, at a concentration of 250 microM, inhibited aldrin epoxidation by 65%, whereas 7,8-benzoflavone had no inhibitory effect at concentrations up to 250 microM. Addition of ethanol markedly increased epoxidase activity. The increase was threefold in the presence of 5% ethanol. When cytochrome P-448 purified from hepatic microsomes of 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats was used, a very low rate of epoxidation was observed which was less than 3% of the activity mediated by cytochrome P-450 under similar assay conditions. Enzyme activity was independent of the lipid factor dilauroylphosphatidylcholine. The apparent Km for aldrin was 27 +/- 7 microM. The modifiers of monooxygenase reactions, 7,8-benzoflavone, SKF 525-A and ethanol, inhibited the activity mediated by cytochrome P-448. The I50 was 0.05, 0.2 and 800 mM, respectively. These results indicate that aldrin is a highly selective substrate for cytochrome P-450 species present in microsomes of phenobarbital-treated animals and is a poor substrate for cytochrome P-448. The two forms of aldrin epoxidase can be characterised by their turnover number, their apparent Km and their sensitivity to modifiers, like 7,8-benzoflavone and ethanol. 相似文献

Hepatic microsornes metabolize ethanol to a free radical metabolite which forms adducts with the spin trapping agents PBN (phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone) and DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-l-pyrroline N-oxide). This ethanol radical has been identified as the I-hydroxyethyl radical through the use of 13C-labelled ethanol. A role of the cytochrome P-450 enzymes in the generation of the I-hydroxyethyl radical was suggested by requirements for oxygen and NADPH. as well as inhibition in the presence of SKF 525-A and imidazole. In contrast. the ESR signal intensity of the I-hydroxyethyl radical was diminished when either catalase. or the iron chelating agent deferoxdmine. was added to the microsomal incubations, and was increased by the addition of ADP-Fe. These observations suggest that the ethanol radicals may arise secondary to iron-catalyzed formation of hydroxyl radicals from hydrogen peroxide. This possibility was supported by enhanced rates of I-hydroxyethyl radical formation when microsomal catalase activity was inhibited by the addition of sodium azide, or by pretreatment of rats with aminotriazole. However, the reaction was relatively insensitive to scavengers of the hydroxyl radical. Thus, the mechanism of I-hydroxycthyl radical formation could involve two cytochrome P-450-dependent pathways: generation of hydrogen peroxide required for a Fenton reaction, as well as direct catalytic formation of the ethanol radical. 相似文献

Experiments were conducted on three different human liver samples to identify the cytochrome P450 isozyme which is involved in the biotransformation of the class III antiarrhythmic agent, amiodarone, into its major metabolite, desethylamiodarone (DEA). The classic P450 inhibitors, SKF 525A, metyrapone, and carbon monoxide provided a significant reduction in the in vitro formation of DEA by human hepatic microsomes. Amiodarone N-deethylase activities expressed by intrinsic clearance values were similar in all the livers used, although two livers were genotyped as extensive and one as a poor metabolizer for the cytochrome P450 CYP2D6 gene1. DEA production was strongly inhibited (more than 80%) by the anti-P450 3A4 antibody, but not by anti-LKM1-positive serum. It seems therefore that the P450 3A subfamily is certainly implicated in human hepatic amiodarone N-deethylation. 相似文献

The inhibition of the steroid-mediated induction of δ-aminolevulinate synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme in hepatic porphyrin-heme biosynthesis, by 2-diethylaminoethyl-2,2-diphenylvalerate HCl (SKF 525-A) as studied in cultured chick embryo liver cells. The formation of porphyrins in response to cyproterone, a synthetic steroid, was inhibited in a time-dependent manner by SKF 525-A, an inhibitor of several drug metabolizing enzyme systems. This action is a result of an inhibitory effect of SKF 525-A on the cyproterone-mediated induction of δ-aminolevulinate synthase; SKF 525-A laso inhibited the induction of the enzyme by the naturally occurring 5β-H steroids, etiocholanolone and pregnanolone. Employing [3H]etiocholanolone, we provide evidence that this inhibition is not associated with either decreased uptake or an altered metabolism of the steroid. Moreover, approx. 4–6-fold more radioactivity was associated with [3H]etiocholanolone-treated cells cultured in the presence of SKF 525-A. Alternative mechanisms for the induction of δ-aminolevulinate synthase by steroids are proposed which do not require the interaction of steroid-receptor complex with the genome. 相似文献

To determine whether agents which inhibit cytochrome P-450 enzymes also inhibit lipoxygenase, the effects of metyrapone and SKF 525-A were assessed on soybean lipoxygenase using a spectrophotometric technique which allows for measurement of both the rate and magnitude of product formation. Both SKF 525-A and metyrapone inhibited the rate of product formation and the final amount of product formed in 5 min incubations SKF 525-A was 5 to 5 times more potent than metyrapone, with the IC50 for SKF 525-A 40 microM and for metyrapone between 150 and 200 microM as determined by the total product formation in 5 minutes. Analysis of the reduced product by HPLC confirmed that the substances monitored were those generated by the 15-lipoxygenase enzyme. 相似文献

By using e.s.r. spectroscopy coupled with the spin trapping technique we have detected the formation of free radical intermediates by rat liver microsomes incubated with either ethanol, 2-propanol or 2-butanol in the presence of a NADPH regenerating system and 4-pyridyl-l-oxide-t-butyl nitrone (4-POBN) as spin trap. The e.s.r. spectra have been identified as due to the hydroxyalkyl free radical adducts of 4-POBN.The free radical formation depends upon the activity of the microsomal monoxygenase system and is blocked by omitting NADP+ from the incubation mixture, by anaerobic incubation or by enzyme denaturation. The involvement of hydroxyl radicals (OH) produced through a Fenton-type reaction from endogenously formed hydrogen peroxide is suggested by the opposite effects exerted on the e.s.r. signal intensity by azide and catalase. Consistently, iron chelation by desferrioxamine inhibits the free radical formation, while the supplementation of EDTA-iron increases it by several fold. Inhibitors of cytochrome P450-dependent monoxygenase system reduce to various extents the production of free radical intermediates suggesting that reactive oxygen species might be formed at the active site of cytochrome P450 where they react with alkyl alcohol molecules.The data presented support the hypothesis that free radical species are generated during the microsomal metabolism of alcohols and suggest the possibility that ethanol-derived radicals might play a role in the pathogenesis of the liver lesions consequent upon alcoholic abuse. 相似文献

The oxidation of acetaminophen to the corresponding phenoxyl free radical and N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine by mammalian peroxidases is discussed. The acetaminophen free radical is very reactive--forming dimers, and, ultimately, melanin-like polymeric products. A model compound, leading to more stable metabolites, can be obtained by introduction of methyl groups next to the oxygen, to produce 3,5-dimethylacetaminophen. The electron spin resonance spectrum of this free radical could be completely analyzed. The phenoxyl radical of the dimethyl analog does not form polymers or bind with nucleophiles. N-Acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine, a hepatic metabolite of acetaminophen, and its analog N-acetyl-3,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone imine are metabolized by rat liver microsomes and NADPH to their corresponding p-aminophenoxyl free radicals. The p-aminophenoxyl free radical formation could be suppressed by the deacetylase inhibitors sodium fluoride and paraoxon. Substitution of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase for rat liver microsomes eliminates the deacetylase activity and results in the direct reduction of N-acetyl-3,5-dimethyl-p-benzoquinone imine to the 3,5-dimethylacetaminophen phenoxyl free radical. Neither the acetaminophen nor the 3,5-dimethylacetaminophen phenoxyl radical reduces oxygen to form superoxide or reacts with oxygen in any other detectable way. 相似文献

Propoxyphene (Darvon) was compared to SKF 525-A, a prototypical inhibitor of hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidases, to assess propoxyphene's potential to inhibit drug metabolism in morphine tolerant/dependent mice. , both propoxyphene (Ki = 3.5 × 10?5M) and SKF 525-A (Ki = 4.3 × 10?6M) inhibited the activity of aminopyrine N-demethylase competitively in hepatic microsomes from tolerant/dependent animals. Propoxyphene and SKF 525-A were weaker, noncompetitive inhibitors of aniline hydroxylase activity. , equimolar doses (0.24 mmoles/kg, i.p.) of each compound inhibited both of the above monooxygenases in the 10,000 supernatant fractions of livers from the tolerant/ dependent animals. Propoxyphene was 40–50% as potent an inhibitor of these activities as SKF 525-A. A dose (300 mg/kg) of propoxyphene napsylate, shown to prevent narcotic abstinence signs with no observable toxicity in withdrawing mice, significantly prolonged the blood levels of injected pentobarbital and tripled pentobarbital sleeping time in these animals. When administered at 300 mg/kg chronically, propoxyphene napsylate acted as an inducer of its own metabolism. Propoxyphene napsylate, then, given acutely to narcotic tolerant/dependent mice, is a potent inhibitor of microsomal drug metabolizing capacity. Given chronically, it enhances this capability. 相似文献

Lipid peroxyl radicals resulting from the peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids by soybean lipoxygenase were directly detected by the method of rapid mixing, continuous-flow electron spin resonance spectroscopy. When air-saturated borate buffer (pH 9.0) containing linoleic acid or arachidonate acid was mixed with lipoxygenase, fatty acid-derived peroxyl free radicals were readily detected; these radicals have a characteristic g-value of 2.014. An organic free radical (g = 2.004) was also detected; this may be the carbon-centered fatty acid free radical that is the precursor of the peroxyl free radical. The ESR spectrum of this species was not resolved, so the identification of this free radical was not possible. Fatty acids without at least two double bonds (e.g. stearic acid and oleic acid) did not give the corresponding peroxyl free radicals, suggesting that the formation of bisallylic carbon-centered radicals precedes peroxyl radical formation. The 3.8-G doublet feature of the fatty acid peroxyl spectrum was proven (by selective deuteration) to be a hyperfine coupling due to a gamma-hydrogen that originated as a vinylic hydrogen of arachidonate. Arachidonate peroxyl radical formation was shown to be dependent on the substrate, active lipoxygenase, and molecular oxygen. Antioxidants are known to protect polyunsaturated fatty acids from peroxidation by scavenging peroxyl radicals and thus breaking the free radical chain reaction. Therefore, the peroxyl signal intensity from micellar arachidonate solutions was monitored as a function of the antioxidant concentration. The reaction of the peroxyl free radical with Trolox C was shown to be 10 times slower than that with vitamin E. The vitamin E and Trolox C phenoxyl radicals that resulted from scavenging the peroxyl radical were also detected. 相似文献

Lipid peroxidation in microsomes was studied using a spin-trapping technique. Free radical adducts of phenyltertiarybutylnitrone (PBN) were produced as detected by electron spin resonance during induced lipid peroxidation of microsomes with a system consisting of NADPH, Fe2+, and pyrophosphate. The adducts were identified as intermediates of the substrates added to the microsomal system and not OH · or HO2 radicals. The production of the adduct parallels the NADPH-dependent formation of malondialdehyde (MDA). Analyses of the electron spin resonance hyperfine splitting constants allowed in some instances identification of the adducts. Purified preparations of cytochrome P-450 mimic the results of the microsomes. The carcinogens dimethyl and diethylnitrosoamine were metabolized in this system yelding reactive free radicals and free NO, suggesting an alternate mechanism for the activity of these compounds as ultimate carcinogens. 相似文献

Hepatic microsomal oxygenation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids was investigated. Aldehydes (veratrum aldehyde, cinnamic aldehyde, myrtenal, cuminaldehyde, 3-phenylpropionaldehyde, perillaldehyde and 9-anthraldehyde) were incubated with hepatic microsomes of mice in the presence of an NADPH-generating system under 18O2 (97 atom%). The incorporation of oxygen-18 into carboxylic acids formed was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oxygen-18 was incorporated into the carboxylic acids formed from all aldehyde substrates examined. Hepatic microsomal formation of 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid and cumic acid from veratrum aldehyde and cuminaldehyde, respectively, was inhibited by CO and SKF 525-A. These results indicate that the oxygenation of aldehydes which may be catalyzed by cytochrome P450 is a common reaction in the biotransformation of xenobiotic aldehydes. 相似文献
