Abstract

ABSTRACT We have studied the interference of roxithromycin with NADPH oxidase, the key enzymatic system for oxidant production by human neutrophils. Roxithromycin alters the reconstitution of an active enzyme and impairs the translocation to the outer membrane of the cytosolic components p47-phox and p67-phox. Interestingly, in resting cells roxithromycin directly triggers the translocation of these factors without stimulating the oxidative burst.
