Potential Benefits of Peroxynitrite

Abstract: Peroxynitrite (PN) is generated by the reaction of nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide in one of the most rapid reactions in biology. Studies have reported that PN is a cytotoxic molecule that contributes to vascular injury in a number of disease states. However, it has become apparent that PN has beneficial effects including vasodilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation, inhibition of inflammatory cell adhesion, and protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury in the heart. It is our hypothesis that PN may … Show more

“…In several reports concerning MIRPC, it has been demonstrated that iNOS and NO are involved in MIRPC-mediated protection in the heart (2, 44) and brain (4,48). Although many experiments have reported that peroxynitrite, a product of NO and superoxide, is a cytotoxic molecule, recent several studies have demonstrated that peroxynitrite plays a role as a vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation and inflammatory cell adhesion (26,30,31), all of which are beneficial to I/R injury. Thus the reduced renoprotection due to reduced iNOS expression may be associated with the reduced beneficial effect of peroxynitrite.…”

“…In fact, there have been some reports suggesting that NO donors, such as L-arginine, may protect the kidneys against I/R injury (2), whereas NO inhibitors may exacerbate kidney I/R injury (14). It was also recently reported that peroxynitrite, a product of nitric oxide and superoxide, is a known potent free radical metabolite that induces oxidative stress, functions as a vasodilator, and inhibits platelet aggregation and inflammatory cell adhesion, thus ameliorating or reducing I/R injury (16,(25)(26)(27)(28).…”

“…Prolonged relaxation to ONOO Ϫ is likely to occur when it reacts with tissue sulfhydryls to form nitrosothiols, which can serve as NO donors, stimulating guanylate cyclase in vascular smooth muscle (26,67). Vasodilatory responses to ONOO Ϫ in coronary, pulmonary, and systemic vascular beds are inhibitible by NO scavengers and blockers of guanulate cyclase, suggesting that relaxation to ONOO Ϫ is mediated by NO or NO donors (6,24,40,41,44,63). Our novel findings support the idea that endothelium-dependent vasodilators activate a signaling pathway in which O 2 Ϫ and NO combine to produce ONOO Ϫ (Fig.…”
