- W1996811700 abstract "Misonidazole is a metabolically active drug. Its addition to cells causes an immediate alteration in cellular electron transfer pathways. Under aerobic conditions the metabolic alterations can result in futile cycling with electron transfer to oxygen and production of peroxide. Thiol levels are extremely important in protecting the cell against the peroxide formation and potentially hazardous conditions for hydroxyl radical production. Nevertheless such electron shunting out of cellular metabolism will result in alterations in pentose cycle, glycolysis and cellular capacity to reduce metabolites to essential intermediates needed in DNA metabolism (i.e. deoxyribonucleotides). Glutathione must be depleted to very low levels before toxic effects of misonidazole and other nitro compounds are manifested in cell death via peroxidative damage. Under hypoxic conditions misonidazole also diverts the pentose cycle via its own reduction; however, unlike the aerobic conditions, there are a number of reductive intermediates produced that react with non-protein thiols such as GSH as well as protein thiols. The reaction with protein thiols results in the inhibition of glycolysis and other as yet undetermined enzyme systems. The consequences of the hypoxic pretreatment of cells with nitro compounds are increased vulnerability to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs such as L-PAM, cis-platinum and bleomycin. The role that altered enzyme activity has in the cellular response to misonidazole and chemotherapeutic agents remains to be determined. It is also clear that the GSH depleted state not only makes cells more vulnerable to oxidative stress but also to hypoxic intermediates produced by the reduction of misonidazole beyond the one electron stage. The relevancy of the present work to the proposed use of thiol depletion in vivo to enhance the radiation or chemotherapeutic response of tumor tissue lies with the following considerations. Apparently, spontaneous peroxidative damage to normal tissue such as liver can occur with GSH depletion to 10-20% of control and with other normal tissue when GSH reaches 50% of control. This situation can obviously become more critical if peroxide producing drugs are administered. The only advantage to such combined drug treatments would lie in the possibility that tumors vary in their catalase and peroxidase activity and consequently may be more vulnerable to oxidative stress (cf. review by Meister. Our tumor model, the A549 human lung carcinoma cell in vitro, appears to be an exception because it has catalase, peroxidase and a high content of GSH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
