4.2 Metabolism/Metabolites

Nitroreductase activity was previously known to occur under nitrogen atmosphere in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions of liver homogenates. This study describes a subcellular nitroreductase activity which occurs in liver mitochondria under aerobic conditions. Mitochondria were isolated from rat liver and assayed for their capacity to reduce certain nitro compounds by measuring spectrophotometrically both the appearance of amino compounds and the consumption of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. Intact mitochondria were found to possess a p-dinitrobenzene reductase activity. The activity was destroyed by heat, and was present at only 20% in the microsomal fraction. It was strictly nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent, while only little or no activity occurred with reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide or other oxidative substrates. Nitro reduction was inhibited by thiol reagents. Rat liver mitochondria showed about 15% activity with o-dinitrobenzene and m-dinitrobenzene, while there was less than 5% activity with a series of p-nitro compounds including chloramphenicol.

The metabolism of radiolabeled dinitrobenzene isomers was compared in hepatocytes and hepatic subcellular fractions isolated from male Fischer-344 rats. Under aerobic conditions, reduction was the major metabolic pathway for m- and p-dinitrobenzene in hepatocytes with m- and p-nitroaniline accounting for 74.0 + or - 1.2 and 81.0 + or - 0.6% (mean + or - SE, n= 4), respectively, of the radioactivity present after a 30 min incubation. The major metabolite of o-dinitrobenzene in similar incubations was S-(2-nitrophenyl)glutathione which represented 48.1 + or - 5.5% of the total radioactivity; o-nitroaniline accounted for 29.5 + or - 2.1% of the radioactivity. Incubation of dinitrobenzene with microsomes produced nitroanilines as well as nitrosonitrobenzenes and nitrophenylhydroxylamines. Reduction of o- and m-dinitrobenzene by microsomes was reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent. Reduction of p-dinitrobenzene could be supported by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide as well as reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, although the rate of reduction was slower with NADH. Conjugation of o- and p-dinitrobenzene, but not m-dinitrobenzene, with glutathione occurred in cytosol incubations although only o-dinitrobenzene formed the glutathione conjugate in intact hepatocytes.
