Abstract:
:The ability of paraquat, MPP+, and analogs to be reduced by chemical reductants and by NADPH, as catalyzed by liver microsomes or purified NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase, is reported. The analogs span a range of electrochemical potential, including values in-between that of paraquat and MPP+. Analogs with an Eo below -.55 V (vs. NHE) are not reduced by either the NADPH-microsomes or NADPH-reductase systems. The inability of MPP+ to be bio-reduced or to stimulate the production of superoxide during aerobic reduction is evidence against a redox-cycling (oxidant stress) role of MPP+ in MPTP neurotoxicity.
