  • The ABC's of the Reactions Between Nitric Oxide, Superoxide
    Oxygen'99 Sunrise Free Radical School 1 The ABC’s of the Reactions between Nitric Oxide, Superoxide, Peroxynitrite and Superoxide Dismutase Joe Beckman Department of Anesthesiology The University of Alabama at Birmingham [email protected] The interplay between nitric oxide and superoxide to form peroxynitrite is a major biological process that competes in a remarkably subtle fashion with superoxide dismutase in vivo. The complex interactions between superoxide, nitric oxide reveals some extraordinary features about the difficulties of effectively scavenging of superoxide in a biological system. The discovery of dominant mutations in the cytosolic Cu,Zn SOD leading to the selective death of motor neurons in ALS highlights how subtle the scavenging of superoxide can be in the presence of low concentrations of nitric oxide. In the 1980’s, the following reaction became the dominant explanation for how superoxide was toxic in vivo. While the Haber-Weiss reaction became a commonly accepted mechanism of oxidant injury, it suffers many limitations. The reduction step with superoxide is slow and can easily Joe Beckman 1 Oxygen'99 Sunrise Free Radical School 2 be substituted by other reductants such as ascorbate. The source of catalytic iron in vivo is still uncertain, and many forms of chelated iron do not catalyze this reaction. The reaction of ferrous iron with hydrogen peroxide is slow and once formed, hydroxyl radical is too reactive to diffuse more than a few nanometers. Finally, the toxicity of hydroxyl radical is far from certain. While it is a strong oxidant, it may be too reactive to be generally toxic.

Oxidative stress, in particular, the overproduction of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), play an important role in the development of these diseases, as evidenced by the detection of products of lipid, protein and DNA oxidation in vivo. Even if they participate in cell signaling and metabolism regulation, ROS are also formidable weapons against most of the biological materials because of their intrinsic nature. By nature too, neurons are particularly sensitive to oxidation because of their high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, weak antioxidant defense and high oxygen consumption. Thus, the overproduction of ROS in neurons appears as particularly deleterious and the mechanisms involved in oxidative degradation of biomolecules are numerous and complexes. This review highlights the production and regulation of ROS, their chemical properties, both from kinetic and thermodynamic points of view, the links between them, and their implication in neurodegenerative diseases. Keywords: reactive oxygen species; superoxide anion; hydroxyl radical; hydrogen peroxide; hydroperoxides; neurodegenerative diseases; NADPH oxidase; superoxide dismutase 1.

  • Peroxide Formers and Other Potential Explosives SOP
    Peroxide Formers and Other Potential Explosives SOP SCOPE/PURPOSE Scope: Any academic department that uses the types of chemicals defined herein. Purpose: Certain solvents and other chemicals are known to form potentially explosive peroxides. Many of these are organic solvents; some are inorganic solids. An inhibitor is added to most peroxide-forming solvents by the manufacturer; this is usually effective until the container is first opened. After that, the inhibitor begins to be depleted. It can also become depleted during long storage without opening. High-purity solvents (e.g., HPLC grade) sometimes have no inhibitor added. The purpose of this plan is to define a peroxide former and set forth the guidelines that should be followed with regard to purchasing, storing, testing and using these chemicals. For more information, see section 4.D.3.2 and 6.G.3 in Prudent Practices in the Laboratory, The National Academies Press: 2011. DEFINITION: Peroxide structures present an explosive hazard. If they are present in a solvent, the hazard is compounded by the presence of a flammable liquid along with the explosive substance. Peroxides are also often shock sensitive compounds that can explode if subjected to mechanical shock, intense light, rapid changes in temperature, heat, friction, or in some cases, by spontaneous reaction. Chemicals that can potentially form peroxides (peroxidizables) are categorized into three classes (A-C) defined below. Included below are examples of chemicals in each class. Below are examples of chemicals in each class. These lists are not comprehensive. Class A: Class A peroxide formers are chemicals that form explosive levels of peroxides without concentration (in other words, without having been concentrated by evaporation or distillation).

  • The Role of Superoxide Anion and Hydrogen Peroxide in Phagocytosis-Associated Oxidative Metabolic Reactions
    The role of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide in phagocytosis-associated oxidative metabolic reactions. R L Baehner, … , J Davis, R B Johnston Jr J Clin Invest. 1975;56(3):571-576. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI108126. Research Article The contribution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and one of its unstable intermediates, superoxide anion (O2), to the oxidative reactions that occur in phagocytizing leukocytes was explored by depleting these cells of O2. This was accomplished by allowing them to phagocytize latex particles coated with superoxide dismutase (SOD), which catalyzes the generation of H2O2 from O2. Although the rate and extent of phagocytosis of latex coated with bovine serum albumin was similar to latex coated with SOD, the rate of oxygen consumption, [14C]formate oxidation, [1-14C]glucose oxidation, and iodination of zymosan particles was significantly enhanced by SOD. In contrast, the rate and extent of reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) was diminished by 60%. These studies indicate that the majority of NBT reduction by leukocytes is due to O2, whereas stimulation of the hexose monophosphate shunt and iodination of ingested particles requires H2O2 generated from the increased reduction of oxygen by phagocytizing leukocytes.
