Acrolein and phosphoramide mustard are the metabolites of cyclophosphamide which are among the causative agents which reduce the activity of superoxide dismultase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in erythrocytes of CMF treated breast cancer patients.

At various times post-TBI, animals were killed and the hippocampus was analyzed for antioxidants (GSH, GSSG, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase) and oxidants (acrolein, 4-hydroxynonenal, protein carbonyl, and 3-nitrotyrosine).

Activated phagocytes employ myeloperoxidase to generate glycolaldehyde, 2-hydroxypropanal, and acrolein.
Using breast cancer cells, we demonstrate that glycolaldehyde inactivates glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase, suppresses cell growth, and induces apoptosis.

We hypothesized that cyclophosphamide or one of its toxic metabolites, acrolein, may potentiate O2 toxicity by depressing lung antioxidant defense mechanisms.
Excised lungs were analyzed for reduced glutathione (GSH) content, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), glutathione reductase (GSH-R), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-P), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities.

The filtered gas phase of cigarette smoke or acrolein suppresses phagocytic uptake and intracellular digestion of staphylococci when exposed in vitro; produces marked morphologic changes in the cytoplasmic membrane; inhibits cellular adhesion; disturbs glycolysis and arachidonic metabolism; inhibits calcium and magnesium ATPase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and probably endoperoxide E-isomerase, but not sodium and potassium ATPase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase or lactic dehydrogenase in a dose-response fashion.
