Adams JD Jr, Klaidman LK, Leung AC: MPP+ and MPDP+ induced oxygen radical formation with mitochondrial enzymes. Free Radic Biol Med. 1993 Aug;15(2):181-6.
MPP+ has been reported to inhibit reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase in mitochondria, which results in the formation of O2 (.-). The current report demonstrates that H2O2 and HO. are also products of MPP+ interaction with NADH dehydrogenase. It is possible that MPP. formation precedes the formation of some of these active oxygen species. Reducing equivalents for radical formation come from NADH. MPP+ may be capable of interacting with submitochondrial particles at a site other than the rotenone site, which results in some formation of oxygen radicals. Plasma amine oxidase incubations with MPDP+ resulted in O2.- H2O2, and perhaps HO. formation. This is probably due to MPP. formation from the oxidation of MPDP+. This study presents new findings that indicate the potential importance of oxygen radical formation in mitochondria during MPTP toxicity. |
