Generation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide from beta-lapachone in bacteria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
beta-Lapachone markedly increased the generation of superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide by subcellular membranes of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stearothermophilus. Peroxide generation by beta-lapachone was parallel to the inhibition of growth in both microorganisms.

Effect of beta-lapachone on superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide production in Trypanosoma cruzi.
Addition of beta-lapachone, an o-naphthoquinone endowed with trypanocidal properties to respiring Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes induced the release of O2- and H2O2 from the whole cells to the suspending medium. The same beta-lapachone concentration (4 micron) that released H2O2 at maximal rate completely inhibited T. cruzi growth in a liquid medium. The position isomer, alpha-lapachone, did ...
متن کاملEfficient Catalytic Oxidation of 3-Arylthio- and 3-Cyclohexylthio-lapachone Derivatives to New Sulfonyl Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Antibacterial Activities.
New sulfonyl-lapachones were efficiently obtained through the catalytic oxidation of arylthio- and cyclohexylthio-lapachone derivatives with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a Mn(III) porphyrin complex. The antibacterial activities of the non-oxidized and oxidized lapachone derivatives against the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus w...
متن کاملGeneration of superoxide radical during autoxidation of hydroxylamine and an assay for superoxide dismutase.
Accompanying the autoxidation of hydroxylamine at pH 10.2, nitroblue tetrazolium was reduced and nitrite was produced in the presence of EDTA. The rate of at&oxidation was negligible below pH 8.0, but sharply increased with increasing pH. The reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium was inhibited by euperoxide dismutaee, indicating the participation of superoxide anion radical in the autoxidation. Hy...
متن کاملPhotoenhancement of lipid peroxidation associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species in hepatic microsomes of hematoporphyrin derivative-treated rats.
Hepatic microsomes prepared from rats pretreated with hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD) undergo rapid enhancement of lipid peroxidation in the presence of solar radiation (approximately 400 nm). Quenchers of singlet oxygen, including 2,5-dimethylfuran, histidine, and beta-carotene, and inhibitors of the hydroxyl radical, including benzoate, mannitol, and ethanol, largely protected against the en...
متن کاملDiscrete Generation of Superoxide and Hydrogen Peroxide by T Cell Receptor Stimulation
Receptor-stimulated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been shown to regulate signal transduction, and previous studies have suggested that T cell receptor (TCR) signals may involve or be sensitive to ROS. In this study, we have shown for the first time that TCR cross-linking induced rapid (within 15 min) generation of both hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion, as defined with ox...
