Characterization of Sulfur-centered Radical Intermediates Formed during the Oxidation of Thiols and Sulfite by Peroxynitrite
Open accessAbstract
Using a novel phosphorylated spin trap, 5-diethoxy-phosphoryl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DEPMPO), an analog of the commonly used trap 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO), we have investigated the reactions of sulfur-centered radicals produced from the oxidation of thiols and sulfite by peroxynitrite. The predominant species trapped in all cases are the corresponding sulfur-centered radicals, i.e. glutathionyl radical (GS) from glutathione (GSH), N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine thiyl radical (S-NAP) from N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (NAP) and sulfate anion radical (SO3-) from sulfite. These radicals consume molecular oxygen forming either peroxyl or superoxide anion radicals. GS, S-NAP, and (SO3-)-derived radicals react with ammonium formate to form the carbon dioxide anion radical (CO2-). Further support of spin adduct assignments and radical reactions are obtained from photolysis of S-nitrosoglutathione and S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine. We conclude that the direct reaction of peroxynitrite with thiols and sulfate forms thiyl and sulfate anion radicals, respectively, by a hydroxyl radical-independent mechanism. Pathological implications of thiyl radical formation and subsequent oxyradical-mediated chain reactions are discussed. Oxygen activation by thiyl radicals formed during peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation of glutathione may limit the effectiveness of GSH against peroxynitrite-mediated toxicity in cellular systems.

In the citing paper
“Compounds containing sulfur are usually good antioxidants able to accommodate unpaired electron(s), which in turn result in the formation of thiyl radicals (GS·), whose lifetime is rather high and therefore damage to biological molecules is very mild (Karoui et al. 1996)22”

“These findings are in agreement with previous suggestions that glutathione plays an important role in blocking the oxidant-induced injury and, specifically, in blocking the peroxynitrite-induced injury (Karoui et al., 1996; Cuzzocrea et al., 1998c).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
