Abstract

Superoxide dismutase, catalase and methional proved capable of inhibiting the microsomal oxidation of thiobenzamide, which is most probably catalyzed by the flavin-containing monooxygenase. This indicates that excited oxygen species (e.g. X O-2,H2O2, X OH) are involved in the catalytic cycle of this enzymatic reaction. CO, which inhibits the cytochrome P-450-dependent oxygen radical formation, had no effect on the oxidation reaction, suggesting that the source of the reactive oxygen species is not the microsomal mixed-function oxidase.
