Abstract in Portuguese
O tempol (TP) tem se mostrado um eficiente protetor em modelos inflamatórios. Os mecanismos de proteção contra espécies reativas de oxigênio foi bastante estudado mas sua interação com espécies reativas de nitrogênio ainda permanece pouco explorada. Recentemente, propusemos que o TP re-direciona a nitração de fenol mediada por peroxintrito (PN)/CO2 para nitrosação, pela sua reação com o radical CO3•‾. O produto desta reação, o cátion oxamônio, oxidaria PN para O2 e NO. Este último produziria uma espécie nitrosante (N2O3) pela reação com o radical derivado do PN, NO2 [Bonini e col. (2002) Chem. Res. Tox. 15: 506]. Para examinar se este mecanismo poderia operar in vivo, estudamos os efeitos do TP na reatividade do PN/CO2 frente a albumina (BSA) e macrófagos. Os efeitos do TP se apresentaram dependentes de sua concentração e da concentração de Cys. Apesar do TP não se mostrar catalítico, ele inibiu a oxidação de Cys (20-50%) e nitração de Tyr (70-90%) da BSA e aumentou a nitrosação de Cys (200-400%). No caso dos macrófagos tratados com PN/CO2, o tempol também inibiu a nitração (90%) e aumentou a nitrosação (300%). Assim, em condições fisiológicas, concentrações sub-estequiométricas de TP seriam capazes de redirecionar a reatividade dos radicais derivados PN, de oxidação de Cys proteica e nitração de Tyr para nitrosação de Cys. Desta forma, o TP poderia inibir a injúria em inflamações.

Abstract in English
Tempol has been shown to protect animals from oxidative stress conditions. Tempol's protective mechanisms against reactive oxygen species have been extensively studied but its interactions with reactive nitrogen species remain little explored. Recently, we proposed that tempol diverts peroxynitrite/CO2 mediated phenol nitration to nitrosation by reacting with CO3•‾ to produce tempol oxamonium cation that oxidizes peroxynitrite to O2 and NO. The latter produces a nitrosating species by reacting with peroxynitrite-derived NO2 [Bonini et al. (2002) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 15: 506]. To examine wether this mechanism operates in biological environments, we studied the effects of tempol on peroxynitrite/CO2 reactivity towards a protein, BSA, and cells, macrophages. Tempol's effects were dependent on its own and BSA-cys concentration. Although not a true catalyst, it inhibited BSA-cys oxydation (20-50%) and BSA-tyr nitration (70-90%) while increasing BSA-cys nitrosation (200-400%). In the case of macrophages treated with peroxynitrite/CO2, tempol also inhibited protein-tyr nitration (90%) and increased protein-cys nitrosation (300%). Then, under physiological conditions, a substoichiometric amount of tempol is able to divert peroxynitrite-derived radicais reactivity from protein-cys oxidation and protein-tyr nitration to protein-cys nitrosation. This may be the mechanism by wich tempol inhibits injury in inflammatory conditions.
