Because superoxide (O2-.) is a mediator of inflammation, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) has been employed as an anti-inflammatory compound. However, Cu,Zn-SOD can increase intra- and extracellular H2O2. This may react with the Cu atom of SOD in a Fenton-type reaction producing the hydroxyl radical (.OH). With a non-physiological concentration of H2O2 (0.8 mmol/l) to stimulate chemiluminescence (CL) at a level < 2 mV, it was observed that the addition of Cu,Zn-SOD (100 micrograms/ml) yielded an increase of 204.7 +/- 78.2 mV (P < 0.05). This increase in CL depended on the concentrations of H2O2 and Cu,Zn-SOD and was only seen with luminol (reacts with O2-. and .OH) but not with lucigenin (reacts with O2-.). No CL was observed when Cu,Zn-SOD was heat inactivated, or when Mn-SOD was used. Dissipators of H2O2, copper chelators and .OH scavengers attenuated this CL. In electron paramagnetic resonance, with the use of the spin-trap dimethylpyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO), it was demonstrated that, in the reaction between H2O2 and Cu,Zn-SOD, .OH was generated. The oxidation of keto-methylthiobutyric acid (KMB) to ethylene, assessed by gas chromatography, demonstrated that H2O2/Cu,Zn-SOD-generated .OH can react with KMB and not only with the SOD molecule itself. We conclude that H2O2 reduces SOD-bound Cu2+ to Cu1+ which, in reaction with H2O2 catalyses its reduction to OH. Whether this 'pro-inflammatory' reaction occurs in vivo remains to be established.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
