Abstract:
:Aqueous extracts of cigarette tar produce hydroxyl radicals that are spin trapped by 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide. The addition of catalase almost completely inhibits and superoxide dismutase partially inhibits spin adduct formation. The addition of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid greatly increases the amount of hydroxyl radical adduct observed; in contrast, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid causes complete inhibition of spin adduct formation. We suggest that the hydroxyl radical arises from the metal-mediated decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, and that hydrogen peroxide is formed from the reduction of dioxygen by the semiquinones present in the cigarette tar.
