One-electron oxidation of ethanol to the {alpha}-hydroxyethyl radical by rat liver microsomes was previously found to be cytochrome P-450-dependent in the presence of Desferal. With deermouse microsomes, the formation of {alpha}-hydroxyethyl radical from ethanol was demonstrated with the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique of spin trapping. Free radical formation was enhanced by pretreatment of the animals with ethanol. Boiling of the microsomes, omission of NADPH, or addition of superoxide dismutase abolished free radical formation, but addition of catalase or azide had no affect. Free radicals from the hydroxyl radical scavenger formate were detected when ethanol in the incubation medium was replaced by formate. When equal concentrations of ethanol and formate were added to microsomes, the intensity of each radical adduct signal was decreased by half. Thus, it is concluded that free radical formation in deermouse microsomes is mediated by a P-450-derived, superoxide-dependent oxidizing species.
