Model studies in cytochrome P-450 mediated toxicity of halogenated compounds: radical processes involving iron porphyrins
Journal Article
·
· Environ. Health Perspect.; (United States)
Haloalkane toxicity originates from attack on biological targets by reactive intermediates derived from haloalkane metabolism by a hemoprotein, cytochrome P-450. Carbon-centered radicals and their peroxylderivatives are most likely involved. The reactions of iron porphyrin - a model for cytochrome P-450 - with various carbon-centered and peroxyl radicals generated by pulse radiolysis are examined. Competition between iron porphyrin and unsaturated fatty acids for attack by peroxyl radicals is pointed out. These kinetic data are used to derive a model for toxicity of haloalkanes with particular attention to carbon tetrachloride and halothane. The importance of local oxygen concentration and structural arrangement of fatty acids around cytochrome P-450 is emphasized. 56 references.
