Bio-reduction reactions in the activation of drugs are capable of consuming a significant fraction of the NADPH-reducing* equivalents in the cell. These reactions often utilize such reducing equivalents for bio-reduction to activate a drug to an unstable intermediate and to reduce, via glutathione-reducing equivalents, the hydrogen peroxide or hydroperoxide formed if the drug intermediate (s) reacts with molecular oxygen. Since the" resting" pool size of glutathione (GSH) in rat hepatocytes and in L-5178Y lymphoma cells is about 10-fold greater than that of NADPH [1, 2], the GSH pool has a major influence upon the status of the NADPH pool and its intracellular utilization during drug metabolism. Failure of GSH to provide the necessary reducing equivalents for cellular detoxication of drug-induced hydrogen peroxide is characterized by glutathione depletion as GSSG formation and efflux occurs. For reviews see [2–4]. Thus, glutathione can be given a regulatory role in drug bio-reduction due to the high demand that can be placed on cellular capacity to generate NADPH-reducing equivalents. This paper will focus on the evidence that the reducing equivalents contained in NADPH and GSH can provide very dynamic responses during bioreduction of drugs and that the glutathione redox cycle is the major pathway to provide the reducing equivalents for bio-reduction of drug-induced superoxide and hydrogen peroxide. Sustained (3-4 hr) production of high levels of GSH-reducing equivalents has been demonstrated by a steady state GSH oxidant challenge with diamide to L-5178Y murine lymphoma cells without loss of cell viability.NADPH GENERATION The reducing equivalents needed for the NADPH-dependent reactions, including those by NADPH-dependent bio-reductions that are catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 reductase, glutathione reductase, as well as fatty acid biosynthesis, are derived from substrates to several dehydrogenases (Table 1). Similar data by Kauffman et al.[5] suggest that isocitrate dehydrogenase activity supports the predominant utilization of NADPH and that the two dehydro-
