Abstract
Trypanosoma cruzi trypanothione reductase (TR) was irreversibly inhibited by peroxidase/H2O2 /phenothiazine (PTZ) systems. TR inactivation depended on (a) time of incubation with the phenothiazine system; (b) the peroxidase nature and (c) the PTZ structure and concentration. With the most effective systems, TR inactivation kinetics were biphasic, with a relatively fast initial phase during which about 75% of the enzyme activity was lost, followed by a slower phase leading to total enzyme inactivation. GSH prevented TR inactivation by the peroxidase/H2O2/PTZ+* systems. Production of PTZ+* cation radicals by PTZ peroxidation was essential for TR inactivation. Horseradish peroxidase, leukocyte myeloperoxidase (MPO) and the pseudo-peroxidase myoglobin (Mb) were effective catalysts of PTZ+* production. Promazine, thioridazine, chlorpromazine, propionylpromazine prochlorperazine, perphenazine and trimeprazine were effective constituents of the HRP/H2O2 /PTZ system. The presence of substituents at the PTZ nucleus position 2 exerted significant influence on PTZ activity, as shown by the different effects of 2-trifluoromethyl and 2-H or 2-chlorophenothiazines. The PTZ+* cation radicals disproportionation regenerated the non-radical PTZ molecule and produced the PTZ sulfoxide that was inactive on TR. Thiol compounds including GSH interacted with PTZ+* cation radicals transferring an electron from the sulfide anion to the PTZ+*, thus nullifying the PTZ+* biological and chemical activities.

Abstract
Among beta-blockers, including atenolol, metaproterenol, pindolol and propranolol, only pindolol strongly inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by xanthine oxidase-hypoxanthine in the presence of adenosine-5'-phosphate-Fe3+. In the reaction system, superoxide predominantly reduced iron because superoxide dismutase strongly prevented the iron reduction. However, pindolol had no effect on the superoxide-dependent iron reduction. Adding superoxide dismutase immediately stopped the lipid peroxidation, indicating that superoxide is closely connected with forming the initiator of xanthine oxidase-hypoxanthine-induced lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, pindolol also inhibited lipid peroxidation, whereas it did not react with superoxide, indicating that it inhibited xanthine oxidase-hypoxanthine-induced lipid peroxidation by an independent mechanism of superoxide. Pindolol sharply scavenged 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) radical cations, but the ability of pindolol to scavenge peroxyl radicals of 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)-dihydrochloride and 2,2'-diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl radicals was low. In addition, pindolol did not scavenge hydroxyl radicals at physiologically significant concentrations. These results suggest that the ability of pindolol to inhibit lipid peroxidation was due to scavenging carbon-centered radicals rather than peroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Crocin in aqueous solution is oxidized by ferrylmyoglobin, MbFe(IV) = O, in a second order reaction with k = 183 l.mol-1.s-1, delta H++298 = 55.0 kJ.mol-1, and delta S++298 = -17 J.mol-1.K-1 (pH = 6.8, ionic strength 0.16 (NaCl), 25 degrees C), as studied by stopped-flow spectroscopy. The reaction has 1:1 stoichiometry to yield metmyoglobin, MbFe(III), and has delta G theta = -11 kJ.mol-1, as calculated from the literature value E0 = +0.85 V (pH = 7.4) vs. NHE for MbFe(IV)=O/MbFe(III) and from the half-peak potential +0.74 V (vs. NHE in aqueous 0.16 NaCl, pH = 7.4) determined by cyclic voltammetry for the one-electron oxidation product of crocin, for which a cation radical structure is proposed and which has a half-peak potential of +0.89 V for its formation from the two-electron oxidation product of crocin. The ferrylmyoglobin protein-radical, MbFe(IV)=O, reacts with crocin with 2:1 stoichiometry to yield MbFe(IV)=O, as determined by ESR spectroscopy, in a reaction faster than the second order protein-radical generating reaction between H2O2 and MbFe(III), for which latter reaction k = 137 l.mol-1.s-1, delta H++298 = 51.5 kJ.mol-1, and delta S++298 = -31 J.mol-1.K-1 (pH = 6.8, ionic strength = 0.16 (NaCl), 25 degrees C) was determined. Based on the difference between the stoichiometry for the reaction between crocin and each of the two hypervalent forms of myoglobin, it is concluded in agreement with the determined half peak reduction potentials, that the crocin cation radical is less reducing compared to crocin, as the cation radical can reduce the protein radical but not the iron(IV) centre in hypervalent myoglobin.

Abstract
Reduction of iron (IV) in ferrylmyoglobin in the presence of beta-lactoglobulin in aqueous solution is the result of two parallel reactions: (i) a so-called autoreduction, and (ii) reduction by beta-lactoglobulin in a second-order-reaction resulting in bityrosine formation in beta- lactoglobulin. In the pH-region investigated (5.4-7.4), the rate of reduction increased for both reactions with decreasing pH. The second order-reaction had for non-denatured beta-lactoglobulin the activation parameters: delta H* = 45 kJ.mol-1 and delta S not equal to = -93 J.mol-1.K-1 at pH = 7.0 and ionic strength 0.16 (NaCl). Reduction of ferrylmyoglobin by beta-lactoglobulin denatured by heat (86 degrees C for 3 min) or by hydrostatic pressure (300 MPa for 15 min) resulted in formation of higher molecular weight species as detected by size-exclusion chromatography and by SDS-PAGE. No molecular weight changes were observed for reduction of ferrylmyoglobin by native beta-lactoglobulin. Detection of bityrosine in the native beta-lactoglobulin fraction after oxidation with ferrylmyoglobin indicated intra-molecular bityrosine formation. In heat-denatured beta-lactoglobulin bityrosine formation could be of intra-molecular and/or of inter-molecular origin, the latter being confirmed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Abstract
The pH dependence of iron(II)/iron(III) product distribution, following reduction of the hypervalent iron in equine ferrylmyoglobin by the protein moiety of the pigment (so-called autoreduction) and by NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, reduced) and the rate of reduction was found to depend different on pH. Autoreduction is specific acid catalysed and has a more modest temperature dependence than autoxidation of oxymyoglobin, with the activation parameters delta H# = 58.5 +/- 0.4 kJ.mol-1 and delta S# = 2.7 +/- 0.1 J.mol-1.K-1 in 0.16 mol.l-1 NaCl. The product of autoreduction is the iron(III) pigment metmyoglobin, which is slightly modified in the protein moiety. The reaction has a positive kinetic salt effect from which it is deduced that the reactive centre of ferrylmyoglobin has a charge of +1 in agreement with the structure Fe(IV) = O. Reduction by NADH involves parallel reactions of two pigment forms in acid/base equilibrium with each other with a pKa equal to 4.9, both forms yielding metmyoglobin as well as the iron(II) pigment, oxymyoglobin, as products. The protonated form reacts faster than the deprotonated form, and two-electron transfer has greater importance for the protonated form with a limiting Fe(II)/Fe(III) product ratio of 0.6 in acidic solution compared to 0.12 in alkaline solution. A square root dependence of rate on NADH concentration suggests involvement of NAD.radicals with a disproportionation as the termination reaction.

Abstract
In recent years increased attention has been focused on the reduced forms of coenzyme Q as antioxidant compounds inhibiting lipid peroxidation in model systems and in biological membranes, but in spite of extensive experimental evidences the molecular mechanisms responsible for the antioxidant activity of ubiquinones are still debated. Ferrylmyoglobin and/or its free radical form are regarded as powerful oxidizing agents capable of promoting oxidation of essential cellular constituents, particularly cell membranes. Therefore, we investigated the effects of ubiquinol on the formation and survival of ferryl species of myoglobin and on metmyoglobin itself. The addition of a threefold molar excess of hydrogen peroxide to a solution of metmyoglobin induces the rapid formation of a compound with the spectral characteristics of ferrylmyoglobin. The reaction is complete within 4 min, producing up to 76% of ferrylmyoglobin, which remains stable for at least 30 min. The addition of ubiquinol-1 to the same solution provokes a rapid and progressive reduction of ferrylmyoglobin to metmyoglobin and oxymyoglobin. Ubiquinol-1, furthermore, is also capable of protecting metmyoglobin against oxidation when added in the solution before hydrogen peroxide. Ubiquinol-1, indeed, is effective at both limiting the maximal ferrylmyoglobin level attained (59% inhibition) and accomplishing complete removal of the ferryl form (in about 15 min). The results demonstrate that ubiquinol is capable of reducing both ferrylmyoglobin and metmyoglobin to oxymyoglobin, providing a novel antioxidant mechanism for coenzyme Q.

Abstract
The reactions between hydrogen peroxide and hemeproteins have been coupled to the oxidation of dihydroriboflavin so as to provide a simple method for measuring the rate constant of hemeprotein peroxidation. Dihydroriboflavin rapidly reduces the higher oxidation states of iron and the hydroxy radicals which are the products of the hemeprotein/hydrogen peroxide reaction. The rapid reduction of these highly reactive compounds prevents the hemeproteins from undergoing irreversible chemical modifications and thus allows the kinetics of peroxidation to be studied. The rate constants at pH 7.2 and 23 degrees C for the peroxidation of horseradish peroxidase, myoglobin, and ferrocytochrome c are found to be 6.2 x 10(6), 7.5 x 10(4), and 8 x 10(3)M-1s-1, respectively. These studies suggest that reduced riboflavin might efficiently protect cells from oxidative damage such as that occurring in inflammation and reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Autooxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) or 1,2,4-benzenetriol (BT), catalysed by hemin in the presence of dithiothreitol was studied in phosphate buffered saline. Inclusion of glutamate in the above reaction mixture resulted in the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive products (TBAR) only in an aerobic atmosphere and was linear up to 2 h. Oxygen consumption was noticed during the reaction process. The formation of TBAR was linear with the increase in concentration of heme (1-4 microM), dithiothreitol (0.2-2 mM) or BT (0.17-0.85 mM). Linearity of TBAR formation from glutamate for up to 2 h was observed during the autooxidation of BT in the presence of heme. Besides glutamate, heme concentration dependent formation of TBAR from deoxyuridine or DNA was also observed. Almost complete inhibition of TBAR formation from glutamate, deoxyuridine or DNA was observed in the presence of catalase or superoxide dismutase (SOD). The presence of thiourea or mannitol in the reaction mixture caused substantial diminution of TBAR formation. Albumin or dimethyl sulfoxide also caused partial inhibition. Complete to partial inhibition observed in the presence of oxyradical scavengers in this study indicates that hemin catalysed autooxidation of BT results in the formation of reactive oxygen radicals.

Abstract
The addition of linoleic acid (18:2) to a solution containing oxymyoglobin (MbIIO2), metmyoglobin (MbIII), or metmyoglobin-azide complex (MbIII-N3-) resulted in the formation of a common complex with identical absorption spectral properties. The addition of H2O2 to a MbIII/linoleic acid mixture revealed a spectral profile with lambda max at 530 nm and different from that observed in the reaction of MbIII with H2O2 and identical to that of ferrylmyoglobin. This was accompanied by a progressive decrease in the absorption in the visible region, indicating heme degradation during the lipid peroxidation process. The oxidation products of linoleic acid during the MbIII/18:2/H2O2 interaction were assessed by HPLC under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. In both instances, the chromatograms at lambda 234 nm revealed the formation of a main peak with a retention time of 11.1 min, which cochromatographed with a standard of 9-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid. The latter adduct was not degraded by the oxoferryl complex of myoglobin. The conclusions originating from this research are two-fold. On the one hand, the identical spectral properties exhibited by the product originating from the reaction of either MbIIO2 or MbIII with linoleic acid bridge the apparent discrepancy between the different reactivities of MbIIO2 and MbIII toward H2O2 and their ability to promote lipid peroxidation. On the other hand, the pattern of oxidation products of linoleic acid observed during the MbIII/H2O2 interaction, i.e., the formation of a 9-hydroperoxide adduct as a major product, points to a specific binding character and a regioselectivity of the oxoferryl complex in the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids or a catalytic preference for decomposition of the various isomeric hydroperoxides over that of the 9-hydroperoxide.

Abstract
Metmyoglobin catalyzes the decomposition of H2O2 as well as other hydroperoxides by using ascorbic acid as a substrate. The ratio of H2O2 reduced to ascorbate oxidized is close to one, whereas the rate of oxidation is directly proportional to both H2O2 and metmyoglobin concentrations. Ascorbate also prevents the protein modifications and the O2 evolution that accompany the reaction of metmyoglobin with hydroperoxides. In the absence of ascorbate, myoglobin and H2O2 promote the peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and, thus, may cause damage to cellular constituents. However, lipid peroxidation is inhibited in the presence of ascorbate and, for this reason, it is suggested that this heme protein functions in the opposite manner. The redox cycling of myoglobin by ascorbate may act as an important electron "sink" and defense mechanism against peroxides during oxidative challenge to muscle.

Abstract
The formation of electronically excited states during hydroperoxide metabolism is analysed in terms of recombination reactions involving secondary peroxyl radicals and scission of the O-O bond of peroxides by haemoproteins, mainly myoglobin. Both processes may be sequentially interrelated, for the cleavage of H2O2 by metmyoglobin leads to the formation of a strong oxidizing equivalent with the capability to promote peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The decomposition of lipid hydroperoxides by ferryl-hydroxo complexes, as that formed during the oxidation of metmyoglobin by H2O2, is a source of peroxyl radicals, the recombination of which proceeds with elimination of a conjugated triplet carbonyl or singlet oxygen.

Abstract
The overall biological activity of quinones is a function of the physico-chemical properties of these compounds, which manifest themselves in a critical bimolecular reaction with bioconstituents. Attempts have been made to characterize this bimolecular reaction as a function of the redox properties of quinones in relation to hydrophobic or hydrophilic environments. The inborn physico-chemical properties of quinones are discussed on the basis of their reduction potential and dissociation constants, as well as the effect of environmental factors on these properties. Emphasis is given on the effect of methyl-, methoxy-, hydroxy-, and glutathionyl substituents on the reduction potential of quinones and the subsequent electron transfer processes. The redox chemistry of quinoid compounds is surveyed in terms of a) reactions involving only electron transfer, as those accomplished during the enzymic reduction of quinones and the non-enzymic interaction with redox couples generating semiquinones, and b) nucleophilic addition reactions. The addition of nucleophiles, entailing either oxidation or reduction of the quinone, are exemplified in reactions with oxygen- or sulfur nucleophiles, respectively. The former yields quinone epoxides, whereas the latter yields thioether-hydroquinone adducts as primary molecular products. The subsequent chemistry of these products is examined in terms of enzymic reduction, autoxidation, cross-oxidation, disproportionation, and free radical interactions. The detailed chemical mechanisms by which quinoid compounds exert cytotoxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects are considered individually in relation to redox cycling, alterations of thiol balance and Ca++ homeostasis, and covalent binding.
