Free radical involvement in the oxidative events induced by tert-butyl hydroperoxide in [human] erythrocytes was demonstrated by the use of the ESR technique of spin trapping with the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO). The reactions of tert-butyl hydroperoxide with Hb and intact cell systems were studied. HbO2 containing system showed exclusive production of the t-butyloxy radical spin adduct of DMPO (DMPO-OBut), indicating t-butyloxy radical production. Methemoglobin-containing systems showed the production of an oxidized derivative of DMPO, 5,5-dimethyl-2-ketopyrrolidino-1-oxyl (DMPOX)-previously associated with the generation of highly oxidized heme-Fe. HbCO containing systems show the production of both DMPO-OBut and DMPOX but markedly slower than in either of the other Hb systems. Generally, free radical production in Hb systems was faster than in intact cell systems, indicating a membrane transport rate-limiting step for the tert-butyl hydroperoxide-mediated effects. Data from the use of free radical scavengers to inhibit DMPO-OBut production was consistent with the known reactivities of the scavengers toward t-butyloxy radicals. Important roles for t-butyloxy radicals and heme-intermediates were implicated in tert-butyl hydroperoxide-induced lipid peroxidation and Hb oxidation in erythrocytes, respectively.
