Free radical generation during delta-aminolevulinic acid autoxidation: induction by hemoglobin and connections with porphyrinpathies

H P Monteiro et al. Arch Biochem Biophys. 1989.

Abstract

delta-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a heme precursor accumulated in acute intermittent porphyria and saturnism, undergoes autoxidation leading to ammonium ion and probably the corresponding alpha-ketoaldehyde. This reaction is accelerated by addition of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) and other iron complexes. OxyHb is concomitantly oxidized to metHb; the apparent second-order rate constant of oxyHb/ALA coupled oxidation is ca. 10 M-1 min-1.1H NMR and uv spectral studies suggest that ALA undergoes enolization before consuming the dissolved oxygen. Spin-trapping experiments demonstrate formation of both the hydroxyl radical and a substrate-derived carbon-centered radical during ALA oxidation. Generation of active oxygen species by ALA might be related to the neuropathy associated to some acquired and inherited porphyrinpathies.
