title: Estimation of nitric oxide level in vivo by microdialysis with water-soluble iron-N-methyl-D-dithiocarbamate complexes as NO traps: a novel approach to nitric oxide spin trapping in animal tissues.
abstract: It was found that microdialysis, i.e., passage of aqueous solutions of iron-N-methyl-D-glucamine dithiocarbamate complexes through dialysis fibers implanted into heart, kidney and liver tissues of narcotized rats, was accompanied by effective binding of the complexes to nitric oxide from interstitial fluid. The walls of dialysis fibers used in this study were permeable for compounds with molecular weight not exceeding 5 kDa. The dialyzate samples collected every 20 min and containing diamagnetic nitrosyl Fe3+-MGD adducts were reduced to the paramagnetic state with sodium dithionite; their concentration was measured by the EPR method. The basic level of the adducts, which represented mononitrosyl iron complexes with MGD (MNIC-MGD), in the dialyzate samples of all tested organs were similar (1 microM). Treatment of animals with the water-soluble nitroglycerine analog Isoket or a low-molecular dinitrosyl iron thiosulfate complex as a NO donor increased the concentration of MNIC-MGD with going out into a plateau. The novel approach allows determination of nitric oxide levels in tissue interstitial fluid from concentration of MNIC-MGD formed during microdialysis.
