This study shows that hydroethidine (HE) used for the qualitative detection of superoxide anion can also be oxidized by heme proteins such as the mitochondrial cytochromes, hemoglobin, and myoglobin, forming spectrally nonhomogenous mixtures of HE-derived products of various oxidation states. All oxidation products show excitation/emission peaks (490-495/580-600nm) near the excitation/emission peaks (475/570nm) of the HE-superoxide oxidation product, and this may pose serious interference problems to the fluorescent detection of the superoxide radical. This paper discusses possible precautionary steps that should be taken to minimize the interfering problems in the HE-superoxide assay and suggests its use mainly for reactive oxygen species detection.
