The carcinogen nitrosobenzene (NOB) formed acid labile conjugates with reduced glutathione (GSH) and Hb within [human] red cells. In vitro, NOB rapidly reacted with GSH with formation of phenylhydroxylamine (PH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), and a water-soluble compound identified as glutathionesulfinanilide (GSO-AN). Free aniline (AN), aminophenols and azoxybenzene were not detected. The proportion of PH formed increased with increasing GSH concentration and at higher pH values. Spectroscopic analysis revealed the formation of a labile adduct following a 2nd order reaction (K = 5 .times. 103 M-1 .cntdot. sec -1 at pH 7.4 and 37.degree. C). This reaction was reversible because nearly all NOB could be extracted with ether from the labile intermediate. The labile intermediate was transformed into GSO-AN (with increasing rate at lower pH values) or it was cleaved by GSH with formation of GSSG and PH. Intermediate formation of NOB and thiol radicals was ruled out by analysis of the equilibrium data. A tentative scheme is presented for the proposed reaction mechanism.
