The effects of streptomycin sulfate, gentamicin sulfate, thiamphenicol, penicillin G, teicoplanin, ampicillin, cefotaxime, and cefodizime on the enzyme activity of glutathione reductase (GR) were studied using human and rat erythrocyte GR enzymes in in vitro and in vivo studies, respectively. The enzyme was purified 5,342-fold from human erythrocytes in a yield of 29% with 50.75 U/mg. The purification procedure involved the preparation of hemolysate, ammonium sulfate precipitation, 20,50-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography. Purified enzyme was used in the in vitro studies, and rat erythrocyte hemolysate was used in the in vivo studies. In the in vitro studies, I-50 and K-i values were 12.179 mM and 6.5123 +/- 4.1139 mM for cefotaxime, and 1.682 mM and 0.7446 +/- 0.2216 mM for cefodizime, respectively, showing the inhibition effects on the purified enzyme. Inhibition types were noncompetitive for cefotaxime and competitive for cefodizime. In the in vivo studies, 300 mg/kg cefotaxime and 1000 mg/kg cefodizime when administered to rats inhibited enzyme activity during the first 2 h (p < 0.01). Cefotaxime led to increased enzyme activity at 4 h (p < 0.05), but neither cefotaxime nor cefodizime had any significant inhibition or activation effects over 6 h (p > 0.05).
