(γ-glutamylcylcysteinyl glycine). Glutathione sulfhydrilic group (GSH) serves as an electron donor and, oxidizing, forms a disulfide form of glutathione, in which 2 molecules of glutathione are bound through the disulfide group.
H2O2 + 2 GSH → 2 H2O + G-S-S-G.
Oxidized glutathione is reduced by glutathione reductase:
GS-SG + NADPH + H+ → 2 GSH + NADP+.
Glutathione peroxidase, which restores lipid hydroperoxides in membranes, uses selenium as a coenzyme (a necessary food trace element). With its lack of anti­oxidant protection activity is reduced.
2.7. Detoxification of xenobiotics
Xenobiotics are substances alien to the body, which are synthetic materials, products of human economic activity, household chemicals, detergents, perfumes. Increasing pollution of the environment leads to pollution of the body, damage to cells, mutations leading to malignant and hereditary diseases.
Hydrophilic xenobiotics are excreted from the body in the same form as urine, hydrophobic xenobiotics can be trapped in tissues, binding to proteins or forming a complex of lipids in cell membranes. Over time, the accumulation of foreign matter in the cells will lead to the disruption of their functions. In order to remove such substances unnecessary for the organism in the process of evolution the mechanisms of their detoxification (deactivation) and excretion from the organism were devel­oped. As a result of successive processes of xenobiotic modification, these sub­stances become more hydrophilic and are excreted with urine. Substances that are more hydrophobic or have a high molecular weight (>300 Da) are more often ex­creted with bile into the intestine and then removed with feces.
There are three main phases of xenobiotic detoxification:
The first phase, microsomal oxidation, involves cytochrome P450, specific oxi-
dases, monoxygenases (hydroxylation), and conjugation enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 is an integral hemoprotein containing a prosthetic group of hematoprotein and has binding sites for O2 and substrate. 150 genes encoding vari­ous cytochrome P450 isoforms were discovered. Each of P450 isoforms has many substrates and differs from other P450 isoforms only by its protein part. Cytochrome P450 transfers 2 electrons per 1 atom of oxygen molecule, which transforms into O when interacting with 2 protons of O2- gives water. The second atom of the oxygen molecule is included in the substrate RH, forming ROH.
The metabolism of xenobiotics may involve enzymes of the kidneys, lungs, skin and gastrointestinal tract, but they are most active in the liver. The most possi-
2-
ble ways of modification are reactions of hydroxylation, sulfooxidation, oxidative deamination, epoxidation, dealkylation.
Advantages of this phase of decontamination are:
1. Variety of metabolic pathways allowing to neutralize more than 7 000 sub-
stances.
2. High power in the main pathways of penetration into the body – gastrointes-
tinal tract, liver and lungs.
Disadvantages:
1. Low degree of protection at penetration through mucous membrane, wounds,
injections.
2. Absence or lack of activity in the vital organs – heart, brain, etc.
3. Possibility of toxicity. Thus, cytochrome P450 transforms chloroform, a means of anesthesia, into a militant poisonous gas – phosgene. Polycyclic aromatic hydro­carbon-benzapyrene (procarcinogen) turns into carcinogenic dihydroxyepoxide. Paracetamol – an anesthetic and antipyretic agent turns into a substance that is toxic to the liver and kidneys.
The second phase – conjugation reactions, in which a foreign substance modi­fied by enzyme systems binds to endogenous substrates – glucuronic acid, sulfuric acid, glycine, glutathione. As a rule, the formation of bonds takes place in the OH- or NH2-group of xenobiotics. The resulting conjugate is low-toxic and easily excreted from the body with urine. Glucuronide, sulfate, thiosulphate and acetyl conjugation are distinguished. They involve endogenous compounds formed in the body with the use of energy: UDP-glucuronate, PAPS (3’phosphoadenosyl-5’phosphosulfate), thi­osulfate, acetyl-coA.
This phase has an important advantage: all cells have enzymes responsible for the addition of neutralizing molecules. Therefore, in the second phase, the entire body's cells fight against toxins, which allows for effective implementation or com­pletion of detoxification.
The third phase. Most xenobiotics as a result of metabolism become more hy­drophilic, come into blood plasma, from where they are removed by kidneys with urine. Substances with more hydrophobic or high molecular weight (>300 Da) are more often excreted with bile into the intestines and then removed with feces. The liver and kidneys play a crucial role in the elimination and excretion of most xeno­biotics. However, despite the dominant role of the liver and kidneys in the metabo­lism of xenobiotics, other organs are also involved in this process. In the detoxifica­tion of the body, although to a lesser extent take the mucous membranes - gastroin­testinal tract, lungs and upper respiratory tract. Due to the diffusion of xenobiotics can also be excreted with the milk of nursing mothers and the secret of sweat, seba­ceous and salivary glands.
