4 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
4.1 Metabolism/Metabolites

t-Butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide, both known to be substrates for glutathione peroxidase, were used to oxidize erythrocyte GSH. Addition of concentrations of hydroperoxides equimolar with respect to GSH in the erythrocytes or whole blood quantitatively oxidizes GSH in the erythrocytes with a half-time of 4.5 s at 37 C and about three times as long at 4 C. In the presence of glucose, normal erythrocytes regenerate all the GSH in about 25 min. However, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase-deficient erythrocytes failed to regenerate GSH. Treatment of erythrocytes with hydroperoxides does not affect erythrocyte survival in rabbits. Oxidation of erythrocyte GSH with equimolar concentrations of hydroperoxides does not lead to formation of mixed disulfides of hemoglobin and GSH. The hydroperoxides do not affect erythrocyte glycolytic and hexose monophosphate-shunt-pathway enzymes. Previous studies on transport of GSSG from erythrocytes were confirmed by using t-butyl hydroperoxide to oxidize erythrocyte GSH.

Metabolic activation of peroxides and hydroperoxides to free radicals is associated with the tumor promoting activity of these compounds. tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH) metabolism has been extensively studied as a model of peroxide biotransformation. In vivo studies are limited, and the hemoglobin-thiyl radical was the only species thus far identified in the blood of treated rats. Here we further examine t-BOOH metabolism in vivo with regard to free radical and DNA adduct production. Spin-trapping experiments with phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) led to the detection of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals in the blood, bile, and organic extracts of the liver and stomach of rats treated with t-BOOH. Analysis of these signals demonstrated that t-BOOH metabolism in vivo produces alkyl radicals, detected in the bile and organic extracts of liver and stomach, in addition to the previously identified hemoglobin-thiyl radical. To characterize the produced alkyl radicals, experiments were performed with (13)C-labeled t-BOOH and two spin traps, PBN and alpha-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitrone (POBN). The latter was used because the EPR signals obtained with PBN were too weak to be unambiguous. Nevertheless, the EPR signals present in the bile of animals treated with (13)C-labeled t-BOOH and PBN or POBN were consistent with adducts of (13)C-labeled methyl radical and an unidentified alkyl radical. The latter is probably derived from lipids oxidized by the metabolically produced primary radicals, methyl and its precursor, tert-butoxyl. The presence of 8-methylguanine and 7-methylguanine in hydrolysates of DNA from liver and stomach of rats treated with t-BOOH was also examined. 8-Methylguanine, a typical product of methyl radical attack on DNA, was detectable in both the liver and stomach of treated rats. The results may be relevant to the understanding of the genotoxic properties of other peroxides, particularly of cumene hydroperoxide.

4.2 Mechanism of Action

A short-term exposure of PC12 cells to tert-butylhydroperoxide, followed by recovery in fresh culture medium, causes cell death and the extent of this response progressively increases during the 120 min of post-treatment incubation. Morphological and biochemical analyses of these cells revealed that the mode of cell death was necrosis. Cell killing induced by the hydroperoxide seems to be in part mediated by peroxynitrite because the lethal response was markedly and similarly reduced by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N omega-nitro-L-arginine methylester and by scavengers of nitric oxide or peroxynitrite. This peroxynitrite-dependent mechanism of cytotoxicity was blunted by antioxidants and inhibitors of mitochondrial permeability transition and the onset of cell death was preceded by mitochondrial depolarization and loss of cellular ATP. We conclude that tert-butylhydroperoxide promotes peroxynitrite-dependent PC12 cell necrosis causally linked to peroxidation of membrane lipids and mitochondrial permeability transition.
