Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) An oxy-heme complex, the heme-superoxo species (tetrahydrofuran)(F8)FeIII-(O2 •-) (2) (F8 = an ortho-difluoro substituted tetraarylporphyrinate), reacts with nitrogen monoxide (•NO; nitric oxide) to produce a nitrato-iron(III) compound (F8)FeIII-(NO 3-) (3) (X-ray). The chemistry mimics the action of •NO Dioxygenases (NODs), microbial and mammalian heme proteins which facilitate •NO detoxification/homeostasis. A peroxynitrite intermediate complex is implicated; if 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol is added prior to •NO reaction with 2, o-nitration occurs giving 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-nitrophenol. The iron product is (F8)FeIII-(OH) (4). The results suggest that heme/O2/•NO chemistry may lead to peroxynitrite leakage and/or exogenous substrate oxidative/nitrative reactivity.
