The Effect of Nitric Oxide Release Rates on the Oxidation of Human Low Density Lipoprotein

1-Substituted diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolates, a class of nitric oxide (^·NO) donor compounds that spontaneously release ^·NO at different rates, were used to investigate the effect of ^·NO release rate upon the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL). All donor compounds conferred an inhibitory effect upon the oxidation of LDL; however, the effect exhibited a biphasic dependence upon the rate of ^·NO release. The ^·NO release rate that maximally inhibited oxidation was dependent upon the rate of oxidation. When LDL was rapidly oxidized by copper(II) sulfate, a faster release rate was more effective. In contrast, when LDL was oxidized slowly by 2,2-azobis-2-amidinopropane hydrochloride, a slower release rate was most effective. This biphasic relationship between ^·NO release rate and the duration of inhibition was also demonstrated when LDL oxidation was initiated with 5-amino-3-(4-morpholinyl)-1,2,3-oxadiazolium, a peroxynitrite generator. We conclude that the antioxidant ability of ^·NO is dependent not only upon the rate of its release from ^·NO donors, but also upon the rate of oxidation. This conclusion is supported by a kinetic model of LDL oxidation in the presence of ^·NO.
