Abstract
Peroxynitrite(ONOO-), formed from the reaction of superoxide(O2-) and nitric oxide(NO), is a potent oxidant that contributes to oxidation of various cellular constituents including lipids. amino acids, sulphydryls and nucleotides. It can cause cellular injury such as DNA fragmentation and apoptotic cell death. Also. the toxicity of ONOO- has been reported to be involved in inflammatory and nurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. and atherosclerosis. (omitted)
