The interaction of peroxynitrite with thiolate dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC) has been examined and compared with the interaction with H2O2. Peroxynitrite oxidized DNIC containing various thiolate ligands--cysteine, glutathione, and bovine serum albumin. Analysis of the oxidation suggested a two-electron reaction and gave third-order rate constants of (9.3 +/- 0.5).109 M-2.sec-1 for DNIC with BSA, (4.0 +/- 0.3).108 M-2.sec-1 for DNIC with cysteine, and (1. 8 +/- 0.3).107 M-2.sec-1 for DNIC with glutathione at 20 degrees C and pH 7.6. Peroxynitrite was more reactive towards DNIC than towards sulfhydryls. Addition of sodium dithionite after the reaction led to significant restoration of the EPR signal of DNIC with cysteine. The reaction of glutathione DNIC with H2O2 was about 600 times slower than with ONOO- and not reversed by sodium dithionite. Thus peroxynitrite, in contrast to hydrogen peroxide, changes the pool of nitrosocompounds which can be responsible for interconversion, storage, and transportation of nitric oxide in vivo.

The concentrations of nitric oxide (NO) donors in the plasma of pregnant women with preeclampsia is several times higher than in healthy pregnant women. Antihypertensive drugs acting not through the NO-mediated mechanisms normalized BP in some women with preeclampsia, but did not significantly reduce the levels of NO donors in the plasma. It appears that preeclampsia is associated with insufficient NO availability for the targets, rather than low intensity of NO synthesis.

Nitrosyl iron complexes are remarkably multifactorial pharmacological agents. These compounds have been proven to be particularly effective in treating cardiovascular and oncological diseases. We evaluated and compared the antioxidant activity of tetranitrosyl iron complexes (TNICs) with thiosulfate ligands and dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) with glutathione (DNIC-GS) or phosphate (DNIC-PO) ligands in hemoglobin-containing systems.

Synthesis, characterization, electronic structure, and redox reactions of a mononuclear {FeNO} complex with a very high N-O stretching frequency in solution are presented. Nitrosylation of [(L)Fe(DMF)] () (L = tris((1-methyl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)amine) produced a five-coordinate {FeNO} complex, [(L)Fe(NO)] (). While complex could accommodate an additional water molecule to generate a six-coordinate {FeNO} complex, [(L)Fe(NO)(HO)] (), the coordinated HO in dissociates to generate in solution.

Dinitrosyl iron unit (DNIU), [Fe(NO)], is a natural metallocofactor for biological storage, delivery, and metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). In the attempt to gain a biomimetic insight into the natural DNIU under biological system, in this study, synthetic dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) [(NO)Fe(μ-SCHCHCOOH)Fe(NO)] () and [(NO)Fe(μ-SCHCHCOOCH)Fe(NO)] () were employed to investigate the structure-reactivity relationship of mechanism and kinetics for cellular uptake of DNICs, intracellular delivery of NO, and activation of cytoprotective heme oxygenase (HO)-1. After rapid cellular uptake of dinuclear through a thiol-mediated pathway ( = 0.

Enzymes that metabolize 5mC have been well-characterized, yet the discovery of endogenously produced signaling molecules that regulate DNA methyl-modifying machinery have not been described. Herein, we report that the free radical signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) can directly inhibit the Fe(II)/2-OG-dependent DNA demethylases ten-eleven translocation (TET) and human AlkB homolog 2 (ALKBH2).
