Macrophages and their immortalized cell lines can be activated to form nitrite and nitrate via oxidation of arginine and this is accompanied by the formation ofN-nitroso compounds. The mechanism of nitrosamine formation has been investigated through the use of compounds which are known either to inhibit or enhance acid-catalyzed nitrosation. The range of nitrogen acceptors has been expanded to include ureas as well as amines of varying pKaand structure. The results are consistent with a mechanism in which NO is oxidized to N2O3and N2O4, which are capable of nitrosating amines, but not ureas or amides, at neutral pH. This is in agreement with a recent observation that macrophage cell-free extracts can oxidize arginine to NO. The effect of ascorbic acid on intact activated macrophages is complex since nitrite formation is enhanced over a very wide range of ascorbate concentrations (5–500 μM) while nitrosation is inhibited at ascorbate concentrations >50 μM.
