MPTP (1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) is converted by monoamine oxidase B to its putative toxic metabolite MPP+ (1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion) via MPDP+ (1-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridinium ion). Both the parent compound and these two major metabolites were toxic to isolated rat hepatocytes with MPDP+ being the most toxic and MPP+ the least effective. MPP+ produced a slight increase in lipid peroxidation above control levels in hepatocytes, while both MPTP and MPDP+ showed antioxidant effects. The latter two compounds also protected against chemically and nonchemically induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. MPDP+ was effective at much lower concentrations than MPTP. MPDP+ was also markedly more efficient when NADPH was used to induce microsomal lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation as a consequence of oxygen radical generation is therefore unlikely to be involved in MPTP toxicity in vitro and the rationale of using chain-breaking antioxidants as protective agents in vivo needs a more careful evaluation.
