title: Metabolism of salicylate by isolated kidney and liver mitochondria.
abstract: Mitochondria are known to contain a P-450 like system similar to that found in microsomes. Since previous in vivo studies from this laboratory have suggested that renal mitochondria may metabolize salicylate (SAL) to a reactive intermediate capable of protein binding, the ability of isolated kidney and liver mitochondria to activate salicylate was investigated. Renal mitochondria were 4 times more active than liver in converting SAL to a reactive intermediate and metabolized approx. 1% of the SAL to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, the catechol analogue of SAL. The formation of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate (2,3-DHBA) and the amount of radiolabel bound to mitochondrial protein was decreased in the presence of SKF 525-A; however, excess unlabeled metabolite had no effect on binding. These data indicate that kidney mitochondria activate SAL via a cytochrome P-450 like system, but suggest that the binding species is not 2,3-DHBA itself. Oxidation of SAL and covalent binding of radiolabel, however, were also observed after the addition of ferrous iron and ascorbic acid to a model system containing [14C]SAL and bovine serum albumin. Mannitol decreased SAL oxidation and covalent binding, suggesting radical formation may represent a non-enzymatic mechanism for SAL activation.
