Patients with disease of more than 4 years in duration showed significantly enhanced SOD activity and a decrease in O2- and OH X production. The antileprotic agent, clofazimine, significantly increased the generation of OH X in a dose-dependent manner, with a subsequent decrease in H2O2, but had no effect on the SOD activity of the PMNs and monocytes. In medium containing FeSO4 or Fe2+-EDTA, the drug elevated OH X production markedly further. Phagocytic SOD in PMNs and monocytes of leprotic patients was both host and bacillus derived, because the presence of cyanide, to which human-derived cuprozinc SOD is susceptible, did not completely abrogate SOD activity. The difficulty in treating leprosy may be partly ascribable to decreased phagocytic OH X generation, which in leprosy patients is apparently due to the uptake of Hansen bacillus-derived SOD. Clofazimine may be effective in leprosy by chelating Fe2+, with the resultant potentiation of the catalyzing activity of Fe2+ in the Haber-Weiss reaction increasing OH X formation from H2O2.</jats:p> Oxygen metabolism in phagocytes of leprotic patients: enhanced endogenous superoxide dismutase activity and hydroxyl radical generation by clofazimine Journal of Clinical Microbiology
