Glutathiones 5-nitroso derivatives

S-Nitroso derivatives of the biological thiols—glutathione, cysteine (115) and homocysteine—have been considered as bioactive intermediates in the metabolism of organic nitrates and the endothelium-derived relaxing factor with properties of nitric oxide. A simple, rapid and reproducible method for separating these thiols from their... [Pg.1149]

Peroxynitrite (ONOO ) is a cytoxic species that is considered to form nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (Oj ) in biological systems (Beckman et al. 1990). The toxicity of this compound is attributed to its ability to oxidize, nitrate, and hydroxylate biomolecules. Tyrosine is nitrated to form 3-nitrotyrosine (Ramazanian et al. 1996). Phenylalanine is hydroxylated to yield o-, m-, and p-tyrosines. Cysteine is oxidized to give cystine (Radi et al. 1991a). Glutathione is converted to S-nitro- or S-nitroso derivatives (Balazy et al. 1998). Catecholamines are oxidatively polymerized to melanin (Daveu et al. 1997). Lipids are also oxidized (Radi 1991b) and DNA can be scissored by peroxynitrite (Szabo and Ohshima 1997). [Pg.259]
