The Fe3+ complex of ochratoxin A has been shown to produce hydroxyl radicals in the presence of NADPH and NADPH-cytochrome-P-450 reductase. ESR spin-trapping experiments carried out in the presence of the hydroxyl radical scavenger ethanol and the spin trap DMPO (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-1-oxide) produced ESR spectra characteristic of the hydroxyl radial-derived carbon-centered DMPO-alkoxyl radical adduct. Thus hydroxyl radicals produced by the Fe 3+-ochratoxin A complex in the presence of an enzymatic reductase may be partly responsible for ochratoxin A toxicity.
