Benzoic aiid, a specific scavenger of hydroxyl radical (OH.) is oxidized as the result of a reaction with OH.. The decarboxylation of benzoic acid can be used to detect OH. generated in cell-free systems and human granulocytes. Benzoic acid is oxidized by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase enzyme system. This system generates O2-, H2O2 and OH.. This oxidation is inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase and mannitol. The oxidation of benzoic acid occurs by a mechanism similar to that reported for the oxidation of methional to ethylene and involves OH.. Resting granulocytes do not oxidize benzoic acid. Marked oxidation of this substrate occurs during the phagocytosis of opsonized zymosan particles, indicating the production of OH. by these cells. The reaction can be inhibited by superoxide dismutase, catalase, azide and mannitol. The production of OH. in the cell may be similar to that observed in the cell-free system. The granulocytes of a patient with known chronic granulomatous disease did not oxidize benzoic acid, indicating a defect in the generation of OH. by these cells.
