Many xenobiotics, including naturally occurring compounds, drugs, and environmental agents, are metabolized both in vivo and in vitro to free-radical intermediates. The one-electron reduction of nitroaromatic compounds, quinones, and a wide variety of other chemicals is catalyzed enzymatically by a number of reductases and dehydrogenases. Structure-activity studies have shown that the cytotoxicities of nitroaromatic compounds and quinones are related to their one-electron reduction potentials (E1(7)). Other factors such as oil:water partition coefficients may also be important. Xenobiotics may also be oxidized to free radicals by peroxidases. Hammett's rules apply to the one-electron oxidation of simple meta- or para-substituted phenols and amines by horseradish peroxidase, compound I.
许多外源性物质,包括天然存在的化合物、药物和环境因子,在体内和体外都会代谢生成自由基中间体。多种还原酶和脱氢酶可酶促催化硝基芳香化合物、醌类以及多种其他化学物质的单电子还原反应。构效关系研究表明,硝基芳香化合物和醌类的细胞毒性与其单电子还原电位(E1(7))有关。其他因素,如油水分配系数也可能很重要。外源性物质也可能被过氧化物酶氧化成自由基。哈米特规则适用于辣根过氧化物酶(化合物I)对简单间位或对位取代的酚类和胺类的单电子氧化反应。
