Leskovac V, Trivic S, Peggins JO: Primary toxic effects of anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid in rat liver microsomes. Toxicol Lett. 1995 Jul;78(2):107-10.
(1) The endogenous, NADPH-supported production of H2O2 and of O2-.-radicals in rat liver microsomes was very strongly enhanced in the presence of anthraquinone-2-sulfonic acid (AQSA). (2) This induction of H2O2 and of O2-.-radicals was catalyzed by the microsomal NADPH:cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.2.4). (3) AQSA was reduced to AQSA radicals by reductase; AQSA radicals reduce molecular oxygen to O2-.-radicals, which are readily dismutated to H2O2 by the microsomal superoxide dismutase. (4) O2-.-radicals are the sole precursors of all AQSA-induced production of H2O2 in liver microsomes. |
