Ingested radiolabelled sulfite was reported to be excreted almost entirely in the urine of monkeys within 24 hr, but no free sulfite was detected in rat urine. Seven days after dosing, mice retained < 1% and rats, 2% of the radiolabel. In rabbits, sulfite was cleared predominantly by metabolism to sulfate. /Sulfite/

Sulfites are generated in the human body by processing of the sulfur-containing amino acids, cysteine and methionine. Endogenous sulfite is maintained at a low, steady-state concentration by a mitochondrial enzyme, sulfite oxidase, that promotes the oxidation of sulfite to sulfate that is excreted in the urine. Sulfites can also be metabolized to thiosulfates (enzymatic reaction of sulfite with 3-mercaptopyruvate) or S-sulfonate compounds (nonenzymatic reaction with disulfide bonds). Thiosulfate and S-sulfonate were detected at very low concentrations in the urine of normal humans or rats, but were excreted in large amounts by those deficient in sulfite oxidase. /Sulfites/

Sulfite that enters the body via ingestion, inhalation, or injection is metabolized by sulfite oxidase to sulfate. Oral dose studies using dogs and rats and intravenous (IV) dose studies using rabbits, rats, and rhesus monkeys, demonstrated rapid metabolic clearance. In all species

A principal mechanism of detoxification of SO2 (and sulfite/bisulfite) occurs through the enzymatic activity of sulfite oxidase, resulting in the production of sulfate. /Sulfites/

Bisulfite participates in three important types of reactions with biomolecules: sulfonation (sulfitolysis), autooxidation with generation of free radicals, and addition to cytosine. Products of sulfonation reactions have been shown to be long-lived in vivo and may be highly reactive. Products of autooxidation may be responsible for the initiation of lipid peroxidation, which, among other effects, could damage plasma membranes. In addition, bisulfite can react with nucleic acids to convert cytosine to uracil, thus resulting in mutational events. /Sulfites/

It is now widely appreciated that bronchoconstriction following SO2 exposure is mediated by chemosensitive receptors in the tracheobronchial tree. Rapidly activating receptors (RARs) and sensory C-fiber receptors found at all levels of the respiratory tract are sensitive to irritant gases such as SO2. Activation of these vagal afferents stimulates central nervous system reflexes resulting in bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, mucosal vasodilation, cough, apnea followed by rapid shallow breathing, and effects on the cardiovascular system such as bradycardia and hypotension or hypertension. /Sulfur Oxide/

Early experiments demonstrated that SO2-induced reflexes were mediated by cholinergic parasympathetic pathways involving the vagus nerve and inhibited by atropine. Bronchoconstriction was found to involve smooth muscle contraction since beta-adrenergic agonists such as isoproterenol reversed the effects. Histamine was also thought to be involved in SO2-induced bronchoconstriction. ... Experiments in animal models ... have demonstrated that both cholinergic and noncholinergic mechanisms may be involved in SO2-induced effects. In two studies utilizing bilateral vagotomy, vagal afferents were found to mediate the immediate ventilatory responses to SO2, but not the prolonged bronchoconstrictor response. Other studies showed that atropine failed to block SO2-induced bronchoconstriction, and that a local axon reflex resulting in C-fiber secretion of neuropeptides (i.e., neurogenic inflammation) was responsible for the effect. Neurogenic inflammation has been shown to play a key role in animal models of airway inflammatory disease. /Sulfur Oxide/

In humans, the mechanisms responsible for SO2-induced bronchoconstriction are not fully understood. In non-asthmatics, near complete attenuation of bronchoconstriction has been demonstrated using the anticholinergic agents atropine and ipratropium bromide. However, in asthmatics, these same anticholinergic agents, as well as short- and long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists, theophylline, cromolyn sodium, nedocromil sodium and leukotriene receptor antagonists only partially blocked SO2-induced bronchoconstriction. That none of these therapies have been shown to completely attenuate the effects of SO2 implies the involvement of both parasympathetic pathways and inflammatory mediators in asthmatics. Strong evidence of this was borne out in /a subsequent study/, in which asthmatic adults were exposed to SO2 following pretreatment with cromolyn sodium (a mast cell stabilizer), atropine (a muscarinic receptor antagonist), and the two medications together. While both treatments individually provided some protection against the bronchoconstrictive effects of SO2, there was a much stronger and statistically significant effect following concurrent administration of the two medications. /Sufur Oxide/
