Oxidation of the anticancer anthracyclines doxorubicin (DXR) and daunorubicin (DNR) by lactoperoxidase(LPO)/H2O2and horseradish peroxidase(HRP)/H2O2systems in the presence and absence of nitrite (NO2-) has been investigated using spectrophotometric and EPR techniques. We report that LPO/H2O2/NO2-causes rapid and irreversible loss of anthracyclines' absorption bands, suggesting oxidative degradation of their chromophores. Both the initial rate and the extent of oxidation are dependent on both NO2-concentration and pH. The initial rate decreases when the pH is changed from 7 to 5, and the reaction virtually stops at pH 5. Oxidation of a model hydroquinone compound, 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone, by LPO/H2O2is also dependent on NO2-; however, in contrast to DNR and DXR, this oxidation is most efficient at pH 5, indicating that LPO/H2O2/NO2-is capable of efficiently oxidizing simple hydroquinones even in the neutral form. Oxidation of anthracyclines by HRP/H2O2/NO2-is substantially less efficient relative to that by LPO/H2O2/NO2-at either pH 5 or pH 7, most likely due to the lower rate of NO2-metabolism by HRP/H2O2. EPR measurements show that interaction of anthracyclines and 2,5-di-tert-butylhydroquinone with LPO/H2O2/NO2-generates the corresponding semiquinone radicals presumably via one-electron oxidation of their hydroquinone moieties. The possible role of the•NO2radical, a putative LPO metabolite of NO2-, in oxidation of these compounds is discussed. Because in vivo the anthracyclines may co-localize with peroxidases, H2O2, and NO2-in tissues, their oxidation via the proposed mechanism is likely. These observations reveal a novel, peroxidase- and nitrite-dependent mechanism for the oxidative transformation of the anticancer anthracyclines, which may be pertinent to their biological activities in vivo.
