Mechanism of acetaminophen-stimulated NADPH oxidation catalyzed by the peroxidase-H2O2 system

RJ Keller and JA Hinson

Department of Pharmacology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock 72205.

The oxidation of NADPH catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is markedly increased by the presence of acetaminophen in a concentration-dependent manner. The oxidation follows pseudo-first order kinetics with respect to acetaminophen concentration. The product of the oxidation is enzymatically active NADP+. The stoichiometry of the reaction shows that 1.4 mol of NADPH are oxidized per mole of H2O2 added, and the addition of superoxide dismutase to the reaction mixture increases the ratio of NADPH oxidized:H2O2 consumed, which suggests formation of superoxide as a product. Monitoring cytochrome c reduction in the presence and absence of superoxide dismutase further suggests formation of superoxide. These results indicate that the HRP-H2O2 system oxidizes acetaminophen to the phenoxyl radical, N-acetyl-p-benzosemiquinone imime, which undergoes a rapid electron transfer reaction with NADPH. The NADP thus formed reacts with molecular oxygen to produce superoxide.
