Nitrosation of thiols is thought to be mediated by dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3) or by nitrogen dioxide radical (NO2). A kinetic study of glutathione (GSH) nitrosation by NO donors in aerated buffered solutions was undertaken. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) formation was assessed spectrophotometrically and by chemiluminescence. The results suggest an increase in the rate of GSNO formation with an increase in GSH with a half-maximum constant EC50that depends on NO concentration. Our observed increase in EC50with NO concentration suggests a significant contribution of NO2-mediated nitrosation with the glutathiyl radical as an intermediate in the production of GSNO.
