“…The reaction of NADH with PMS to give the fully reduced form of PMS (5,10-dihydro-5-methylphenazine) and the interaction of reduced PMS with oxygen has been examined in several laboratories (Nishikimi et al, 1972;Halaka et al, 1982;; these studies have suggested that superoxide radical (02~•) or hydroxyl radical (HO•) is formed from oxygen and reduced PMS. In fact, the NADH/PMS/02 system has been shown to be capable of hydroxylating aromatic substrates (Prema Kumar, 1972;Halliwell, 1977). The possibility that these types of nonenzymatically formed activated oxygen species are involved in the PMS-mediated hydroxylation of camphor reported here is eliminated by the control experiments.…”

“…If enzymatic reactions, for instance by intracellular oxidoreductases, were the main mechanism for redox cycling, AGA and GA would have the same effec- tive redox activity in the intracellular environment. However, with NADPH and NADH able to reduce the phenazines directly, albeit at a slower rate [18,19] it may well be that the reduced pyridine nucleotides are sufficiently abundant for direct reduction to predominate. This would account for the much greater cytotoxic effect of AGA since it is more readily reduced by such nucleotides than GA.…”

“…The reaction of PMS and NADH has been reported to produce hydrogen peroxide, 47 which at high enough levels may contribute to enzyme activity. To test this possibility, 1 μM catalase was included in the CmlI/pAP/NADH/PMS reaction.…”
