Recent studies examining the effect of allopurinol on bacteral killing by leukocytes [Tubaroet al., Biochem. Pharmac.29, 3018 (1980); Tritsch and Neiswander,Life Sci.32, 1359 (1983)] have been interpreted by those authors as proof that xanthine oxidase is the major Superoxide producing enzyme in activated leukocytes. To test the assertion that xanthine oxidase is involved in the production of Superoxide by activated human neutrophils, the xanthine oxidase content of neutrophils was measured, and the effect of allopurinol on neutrophil functions, including Superoxide production, was studied. Neutrophils were found to contain a level of xanthine oxidase insufficient to account for the flux of Superoxide associated with neutrophil activation. Allopurinol did not inhibit Superoxide production induced by opsonized zymosan, phorbol myristic acetate, or formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine. Furthermore, neither chemotaxis nor degranulation was affected by allopurinol. Allopurinol was also found ineffective in blocking superoxide-mediated carrageenan-induced foot edema in the rat. These studies are interpreted as evidence that xanthine oxidase is not a major superoxide-generating system in activated neutrophils as has been suggested by others.
