Abstrakt: Treatment of human neutrophils with triphenyltin chloride (TPTCl)-inhibited superoxide (O −2) production stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). TPTCl was more potent as inhibitor of O −2production than other phenyltin compounds. The O −2production by the xanthine oxidase—acetaldehyde system was not inhibited by TPTCl. This finding indicates that TPTCl does not itself react with O −2. Furthermore, TPTCl did not influence the isolated NADPH oxidase at all, though O −2production of neutrophils stimulated with PMA in the presence of TPTCl was inhibited. These results indicate that TPTCl inhibits the activation process of the O −2generating system.
