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.
据报道,百草枯、MPP⁺及其类似物可被化学还原剂以及在肝脏微粒体或纯化的NADPH细胞色素P-450还原酶催化下被NADPH还原。这些类似物涵盖了一系列电化学势,包括介于百草枯和MPP⁺之间的值。Eo低于-0.55 V(相对于标准氢电极)的类似物不能被NADPH-微粒体或NADPH-还原酶系统还原。MPP⁺不能进行生物还原或在有氧还原过程中刺激超氧化物的产生,这证明MPP⁺在MPTP神经毒性中不存在氧化还原循环(氧化应激)作用。
