Many nitroreductases are strongly inhibited by oxygen. The first intermediate of nitroreductase activity, the nitroaromatic anion free radical, cannot be detected in aerobic microsomal incubations. Even though the nitro compounds are unchanged, both nitrofurantoin and p-nitrobenzoate profoundly increase the NADPH-supported oxygen uptake. This catalytic oxygen consumption is partially reversed by superoxide dismutase, suggesting that superoxide anion free radical is being formed by the rapid air oxidation of the nitroaromatic anion radical.
