Role of Superoxide in Catalase-Peroxidase-Mediated Isoniazid Action against Mycobacteria

Isoniazid (INH) activation in vitro is associated with reduction of the mycobacterial ferric KatG catalase-peroxidase by hydrazine and reaction with O(2) to form an oxyferrous enzyme complex. Since this complex could also form directly via reaction of ferric KatG with superoxide, intracellular activ...
