1 The stimulation of 5-lipoxygenase activity by nucleoside phosphorothioates was observed under conditions where the reaction is highly dependent on exogenous hydroperoxides, such as in the presence of beta-mercaptoethanol or using enzyme preparations pretreated with sodium borohydride or glutathione peroxidase.

2 Finally, sodium thiophosphate, but not sodium phosphate, markedly stimulated 5-lipoxygenase activity with properties similar to those of GTP gamma S. These results indicate that GTP gamma S and other phosphorothioate derivatives have redox properties that can contribute to increase 5-lipoxygenase activity by replacing the effect of hydroperoxides.
