Toxicology update: the cardiotoxicity of the oxidative stress metabolites of catecholamines (aminochromes)

Abstract: This toxicology update reviews the oxidative stress metabolites of catecholamines, postulated to be the biochemical initiators of cardiotoxicity. A brief overview of catecholamine metabolism is provided with several noteworthy historical observations relating to the autoxidation and rearrangement of epinephrine. The basic chemical and physical properties of adrenochrome and adrenolutin are discussed. The autoxidative, enzymatic and cellular basis for the transformation of catecholamines to oxidative metabolite… Show more

“…Catecholamines are known to be a major risk factor for hypertension and CVD, because they can increase heart rate, blood pressure and ROS production. [67][68][69][70] Elevated catecholamines may be caused by two factors: (1) an increase in catecholamines release from the sympathetic nervous system and (2) a decrease in their degradation (that is, inactivation). Methylation is a crucial step in the degradation of catecholamines, which involves two methyltransferases: phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase and catechol O-methyltransferase, where the former catalyzes norepinephrine to epinephrine and the latter converts catecholamines to methylated derivatives.…”

“…La patogenia de esto se ha relacionado con hipoxia miocárdica funcional, espasmo coronario, cambios en la permeabilidad de la membrana para Ca +2 y Mg +2 y cambios metabólicos en la célula miocárdica, todo ello causado por metabolitos oxidativos de las catecolaminas 10 . Los hallazgos ecocardiográficos son variables y van desde la hipertrofia ventricular izquierda, mio-con MIBG es una técnica de imágenes funcional que se basa en la capacidad del MIBG, un análogo de la norepinefrina, de ser captado por el tejido adrenal.…”

“…31 The later can be further aggravated by metabolic changes, such as the stimulation of lipolysis with deposition of neutral lipid droplets in cardiomyocytes resulting in an uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. 32 Changes in membrane permeability leading to various electrolytic imbalances, disturb multiple cellular homeostatic processes fostering additional myocardial toxicity. 33 Finally, Martin and coll.…”
