1. The growth of the lactoperoxidase-sensitive Streptococcus cremoris 972 in a synthetic medium was inhibited by lactoperoxidase and thiocyanate. The glycolysis and oxygen uptake of suspensions of Strep. cremoris 972 in glucose or lactose were also inhibited. The lactoperoxidase-resistant Strep. cremoris 803 was not inhibited under these conditions but was inhibited in the absence of a source of energy. 2. Lactoperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7), thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide completely inhibited the hexokinases of non-metabolizing suspensions of both strains. The inhibition was reversible, hexokinase and glycolytic activities of Strep. cremoris 972 being restored by washing the cells free from inhibitor. The aldolase and 6-phosphogluconate-dehydrogenase activities of Strep. cremoris 972 were partially inhibited but several other enzymes were unaffected. 3. The resistance of Strep. cremoris 803 to inhibition was not due to the lack of hydrogen peroxide formation, to the destruction of peroxide, to the inactivation of lactoperoxidase or to the operation of alternative pathways of carbohydrate metabolism. 4. A `reversal factor'', which was partially purified from extracts of Strep. cremoris 803, reversed the inhibition of glycolysis of Strep. cremoris 972. The `reversal factor'' also catalysed the oxidation of NADH2 in the presence of an intermediate oxidation product of thiocyanate and was therefore termed the NADH2-oxidizing enzyme. 5. The NADH2-oxidizing enzyme was present in lactoperoxidase-resistant streptococci but was absent from lactoperoxidase-sensitive streptococci.  相似文献

Antistreptococcal Activity of Lactoperoxidase   总被引:10,自引:1,他引:9       下载免费PDF全文
A study of the inhibition of the growth of Streptococcus cremoris 972 by the enzyme lactoperoxidase has shown, in agreement with previous investigations, that the inhibition requires a source of both peroxide and thiocyanate. The thiocyanate may play more than one role. It stabilizes the very dilute solutions of lactoperoxidase employed in these studies, and its oxidation products may be involved in the inhibition. Binding of the enzyme by the microorganism is suggested by the fact that when the organism was preincubated with the enzyme and then in a medium free from the enzyme, but containing peroxide and thiocyanate, the growth of the organism was inhibited. This inhibition has all the properties of the enzyme-containing system. Although no dialyzable factor could be demonstrated to cause the inhibition, the inhibitory state involving peroxide, the enzyme, and thiocyanate survived for at least 60 min before cells were added to the medium. When catalase was present in the medium prior to the addition of the cells, the inhibition was completely reversed. It was only partially reversed if catalase was added a few moments after the addition of the cells. The data have been interpreted as indicating that the inhibition takes place rapidly and requires the formation of a quaternary complex of the cells, thiocyanate, peroxide, and the enzyme lactoperoxidase.  相似文献

To establish the agent(s) responsible for the activity of the lactoperoxidase (LPO)/SCN-/H2O2 system, the oxidation of thiocyanate with hydrogen peroxide, catalyzed by lactoperoxidase, has been studied by 15N NMR and optical spectroscopy at different concentrations of thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide and at different pHs. The formation of hypothiocyanite ion (OSCN-) as one of the oxidation products correlated well with the activity of the LPO/SCN-/H2O2 system and was maximum when the concentrations of the H2O2 and SCN- were nearly the same and the pH was less than 6.0. At [H2O2]/[SCN-] = 1, OSCN- decomposed very slowly back to thiocyanate. When the ratio [H2O2]/[SCN-] was above 2, formation of CN- was observed, which was confirmed by 15N NMR and also by changes in the optical spectrum of LPO. The oxidation of thiocyanate by H2O2 in the presence of LPO does not take place at pH greater than 8.0. Since thiocyanate does not bind to LPO above this pH, the binding of thiocyanate to LPO is considered to be prerequisite for the oxidation of thiocyanate. Maximum inhibition of oxygen uptake by Streptococcus cremoris 972 bacteria was observed when hydrogen peroxide and thiocyanate were present in equimolar amounts and the pH was below 6.0.  相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase-catalysed oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide has been studied by 15N-NMR and optical spectroscopy at different concentrations of thiocyanate and hydrogen peroxide and at different pH values. The extent of the oxidation and the identity of the oxidized product of the thiocyanate has been investigated in the SCN-/H2O2/HRP system and compared with the corresponding data on the SCN-/H2O2/LPO system. The NMR studies show that (SCN)2 is the oxidation product of thiocyanate in the SCN-/H2O2/HRP system, and its formation is maximum at pH less than or equal to 4 and that the oxidation does not take place at pH greater than or equal to 6. Since thiocyanate does not bind to HRP at pH greater than or equal to 6 (Modi et al. (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 19677-19684), the binding of thiocyanate to HRP is considered to be a prerequisite for the oxidation of thiocyanate. It is further observed that at [H2O2]/[SCN-] = 4, (SCN)2 decomposes very slowly back to thiocyanate. The oxidation product of thiocyanate in the SCN-/H2O2/LPO system has been shown to be HOSCN/OSCN- which shows maximum inhibition of uptake by Streptococcus cremoris 972 bacteria when hydrogen peroxide and thiocyanate are present in equimolar amounts (Modi et al. (1991) Biochemistry 30, 118-124). However, in case of HRP no inhibition of oxygen uptake by this bacteria was observed. Since thiocyanate binds to LPO at the distal histidine while to HRP near 1- and 8-CH3 heme groups, the role of distal histidine in the activity of SCN-/H2O2/(LPO, HRP) systems is indicated.  相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) catalysed the oxidation of NADH by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of either thiocyanate, iodide or bromide. In the presence of thiocyanate, net oxidation of thiocyanate occurred simultaneously with the oxidation of NADH, but in the presence of iodide or bromide, only the oxidation of NADH occurred to a significant extent. In the presence of thiocyanate or bromide, NADH was oxidized to NAD(+) but in the presence of iodide, an oxidation product with spectral and chemical properties distinct from NAD(+) was formed. Thiocyanate, iodide and bromide appeared to function in the oxidation of NADH by themselves being oxidized to products which in turn oxidized NADH, rather than by activating the enzyme. Iodine, which oxidized NADH non-enzymically, appeared to be an intermediate in the oxidation of NADH in the presence of iodide. NADPH was oxidized similarly under the same conditions. An assessment was made of the rates of these oxidation reactions, together with the rates of other lactoperoxidase-catalysed reactions, at physiological concentrations of thiocyanate, iodide and bromide. The results indicated that in milk and saliva the oxidation of thiocyanate to a bacterial inhibitor was likely to predominate over the oxidation of NADH.  相似文献

The catalysis of hydrogen peroxide accumulation by the mitochondrial, membrane-associated NADH oxidase and less active succinoxidase of adult Hymenolepis diminuta was confirmed. NADH-dependent peroxide formation by isolated mitochondrial membranes occurred at about half the coincident rates of NADH and oxygen utilization, whereas succinate-dependent peroxide formation accounted for approximately 40% of the oxygen consumed. These findings, coupled with evaluations of the oxidases, indicated that both systems use in common 2 mechanisms for oxygen reduction, 1 of which is peroxide-forming. Neither system was sensitive to cyanide, azide, or antimycin A. Rotenone inhibition of NADH oxidation resulted in equivalent decreases in oxygen consumption by the peroxide-forming and nonperoxide-forming mechanisms. In contrast, malonate inhibition occurred via disruption of the peroxide-forming mechanism. Fumarate stimulated membrane-catalyzed NADH oxidation, despite aerobic conditions, and this fumarate reductase was rotenone-sensitive. NADH- or succinate-dependent peroxide formation virtually was abolished and oxygen consumption was minimal in the presence of fumarate. Malonate also inhibited fumarate-dependent NADH oxidation and succinate-dependent peroxide formation/oxygen consumption. Collectively, these findings clearly indicate that NADH- or succinate-dependent hydrogen peroxide accumulation involves the malonate-sensitive fumarate reductase, in the absence of fumarate. A model of the H. diminuta electron transport system is presented.  相似文献

The effects of NO on the H2-oxidizing and diaphorase activities of the soluble hydrogenase from Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 were investigated. With fully activated enzyme, NO (8-150 nM in solution) inhibited H2 oxidation in a time- and NO-concentration-dependent process. Neither H2 nor NAD+ appeared to protect the enzyme against the inhibition. Loss of activity in the absence of an electron acceptor was about 10 times slower than under turnover conditions. The inhibition was partially reversible; approx. 50% of full activity was recoverable after removal of the NO. Recovery was slower in the absence of an electron acceptor than in the presence of H2 plus an electron acceptor. The diaphorase activity of the unactivated hydrogenase was not affected by NO concentrations of up to 200 microM in solution. Exposure of the unactivated hydrogenase to NO irreversibly inhibited the ability of the enzyme to be fully activated for H2-oxidizing activity. The enzyme also lost its ability to respond to H2 during activation in the presence of NADH. The results are interpreted in terms of a complex inhibition that displays elements of (1) a reversible slow-binding inhibition of H2-oxidizing activity, (2) an irreversible effect on H2-oxidizing activity and (30 an irreversible inhibition of a regulatory component of the enzyme. Possible sites of action for NO are discussed.  相似文献

The formation of hydrogen peroxide by group N streptococci was found to occur through the action of a reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase which catalyzed the oxidation of NADH by molecular oxygen. The enzyme was activated by flavine adenine dinucleotide. Whereas some of the hydrogen peroxide formed was removed through the action of an NADH peroxidase, sufficient accumulated in media to inhibit the growth, respiration, and viability of these organisms. The amount of hydrogen peroxide which accumulated varied among strains, and this variation could be related to differences in the properties of the NADH oxidase present.  相似文献

Lactobacillus acidophilus has been found to inhibit Candida albicans when grown on MRS agar plates. Attempts to isolate an active factor responsible for this inhibition from liquid culture and agar plates were not successful. The addition of sodium thiocyanate to the agar was found to increase the inhibition offered by the lactobacillus. The results indicate that hydrogen peroxide produced by the lactobacillus is being used to convert the thiocyanate to hypothiocyanate which is more toxic. The involvement of a lactobacillus peroxidase in this conversion is postulated.  相似文献

The mechanism of oxidation of NADH by either vanadium(V) or vanadium(IV) was examined in the presence of reducing agents, complexing agents, and hydrogen peroxide. Reducing agents that stimulate the oxidation of NADH by V(V) include: a variety of cysteine analogues, glutathione, beta-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, and ascorbate. Complexing agents which stimulate NADH oxidation by V(V) include cystine, glutathione disulfide, and dehydroascorbate. Vanadium(IV)-dependent systems which oxidize NADH include combinations of V(IV) with cysteine or air alone. Combination of either V(V) or V(IV) with hydrogen peroxide leads to NADH oxidation. Based on kinetic analysis and the use of the diagnostic inhibitors--superoxide dismutase, catalase, albumin, mannitol, ethanol, and anaerobic conditions--we have assigned two major mechanisms of NADH oxidation. One is the previously reported mechanism which involves V(V)-superoxide as the NADH oxidant. This reaction is inhibited by superoxide dismutase and anaerobic conditions but not by catalase or ethanol. This reaction is observed for V(V) in the presence of reducing agents and complexing agents. The second reaction mechanism operates when V(IV) comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide and involves V(III)-superoxide as the NADH oxidant. This reaction is inhibited by catalase (if unligated hydrogen peroxide is an intermediate) and superoxide dismutase but not anaerobic conditions or ethanol. This mechanism is observed for reactions of V(IV) with air or hydrogen peroxide.  相似文献

Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate by hydrogen peroxide and an intermediary product is formed with antibacterial properties. The components of this system, with the exception of hydrogen peroxide, are present in milk. H2O2 may be introduced by means of enzymatic, generation and thus make the system complete. A two-enzyme system consisting of β–galactosidase and glucose oxidase has been developed for this purpose. The coupled enzyme reaction is shown to work with high efficiency at the neutral pH of milk although the enzymes as such, particularly lactases suitable for immobilization, have optimal activities at much lower pH values. The results indicate that the lactoperoxidase system may in this way be employed to inactivate bacteria present in milk.  相似文献

The maximum specific growth rates of Pseudomonas fragi, Bacillus cereus and Streptococcus cremoris were studied over a wide range of carbon dioxide concentrations. The growth rate compared with a control was reduced to 50% in Ps. fragi at 0–5 atm CO2, in B. cereus at 1—3 atm and in Strep, cremoris at 8–6 atm. B. cereus and Strep, cremoris were completely inhibited at 3 and 11 atm CO2, respectively. The growth rate of the aerobic Ps. fragi at 0–99 atm CO2 (0–01 atm oxygen) was reduced to about 20% of that in air. The growth rate of Ps. fragi was decreased at oxygen concentrations lower than 0–01 atm.
When Ps. fragi was grown at oxygen limitation (0.0025 atm oxygen) and exposed to 0.99 atm CO2, the inhibiting effect of the CO2 was added to that of the oxygen limitation. No indications of a synergistic effect between CO2 inhibition and oxygen limitation were noted.
B. cereus and Strep, cremoris were tested under anaerobic conditions.  相似文献

Characterization of hog thyroid peroxidase   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Several fundamental properties of purified hog thyroid peroxidase (A413 nm/A280 nm = 0.55) were investigated in comparison with bovine lactoperoxidase. The Mr of thyroid peroxidase was 71,000. The prosthetic group of thyroid peroxidase was identified spectrophotometrically as protoheme IX after the enzyme was hydrolyzed with Pronase. Optical spectra of oxidized and reduced thyroid peroxidases and their complexes with azide and cyanide were very similar to lactoperoxidase, except that lactoperoxidase had two reduced forms with the Soret band either at 446 or 435 nm, and thyroid peroxidase lacked a reduced form having the 446-nm band. From comparison of their pyridine hemochrome spectra, epsilon mM at 413 nm of thyroid peroxidase was estimated to be 114, being the same as that of lactoperoxidase. The cyanide inhibition for the reaction of thyroid peroxidase was competitive with hydrogen peroxide and the inhibition constant was in rough accord with the dissociation constant of its cyanide complex measured from spectrophotometric titration. Azide inhibited the reaction with an inhibition constant which was about one one-thousandth of the dissociation constant for its spectrally discernible complex. The azide inhibition was not competitive with hydrogen peroxide and decreased as the reaction proceeded. Aminotriazole inhibited the reaction strongly, and the inhibition was augmented during the reaction. These inhibition patterns of azide and aminotriazole were more or less observed in the reaction of lactoperoxidase, but not in the case of horseradish peroxidase. Characteristics of animal peroxidases are discussed.  相似文献

Five cultures of Streptococcus agalactiae have an absolute requirement for L-cystine to grow in a chemically defined medium. The L-cystine could be replaced with cysteine, glutathione, or the disulfide form of glutathione. Dithiothreitol could not substitute for the sulfur-containing amino acids of glutathione; hence, the growth requirement appears to be truly nutritional. Growth was maximum with 4 to 5 mug of L-cystine per ml. If the concentration of L-cystine was no greater than 4 to 5 mug/ml, complete growth inhibition could be obtained by the addition of lactoperoxidase, thiocyanate, and H2O2. The growth inhibition, however, was nullified by additions of L-cystine 10-fold or more in excess of the concentration needed for maximum growth. During the aerobic degradation of glucose by cell suspensions, H2O2 accumulation could be shown with cultures 317 and 11-13, the only cultures the growth of which was inhibited without addition of exogenous H2O2. All of the cultures had varying degrees of peroxidase activity. The balance between H2O2 generation and peroxidase activity of the culture evidently determined whether growth could be inhibited with lactoperoxidase and thiocyanate without H2O2 addition. The growth yeilds per 0.5 mol of the disulfide forms (cystine and oxidized glutathione) were 1.5 and 1.9 times greater than that per 1 mol of the sulfhydryl forms (cysteine and glutathione).  相似文献

Triclosan was found to be a potent inhibitor of the F(H+)-ATPase of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans and to increase proton permeabilities of intact cells. Moreover, it acted additively with weak-acid transmembrane proton carriers, such as fluoride or sorbate, to sensitize glycolysis to acid inhibition. Even at neutral pH, triclosan could inhibit glycolysis more directly as an irreversible inhibitor of the glycolytic enzymes pyruvate kinase, lactic dehydro genase, aldolase, and the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). Cell glycolysis in suspensions or biofilms was inhibited in a pH-dependent manner by triclosan at a concentration of about 0.1 mmol/L at pH 7, approximately the lethal concentration for S. mutans cells in suspensions. Cells in intact biofilms were almost as sensitive to triclosan inhibition of glycolysis as were cells in suspensions but were more resistant to killing. Targets for irreversible inhibition of glycolysis included the PTS and cytoplasmic enzymes, specifically pyruvate kinase, lactic dehydrogenase, and to a lesser extent, aldolase. General conclusions are that triclosan is a multi-target inhibitor for mutans streptococci, which lack a triclosan-sensitive FabI enoyl-ACP reductase, and that inhibition of glycolysis in dental plaque biofilms, in which triclosan is retained after initial or repeated exposure, would reduce cariogenicity.  相似文献

A yeast strain (SP1) resistant to glucose repression modified simultaneously in the fermentative and in the oxidative pathways (loss of alcohol dehydrogenase I and over production of cytochrome a + a3, being insensitive to the glucose effect) developed a secondary mitochondrial hydrogen pathway. Oxidative phosphorylation was measured with exogenous NADH as substrate on mitochondria derived from repressed or derepressed cells. In this strain, antimycin A promotes a partial inhibition of NADH oxidation but a complete inhibition of phosphorylation. Amytal partially inhibits oxidation of NADH but not phosphorylation. KCN inhibits NADH oxidation in a biphasic way (first level 0.1 mM, second level 5 mM) but phosphorylation was fully inhibited by 0.1 mM KCN. This alternative but non-phosphorylating pathway is insensitive to salicyl hydroxamate. The external NADH dehydrogenase, like cytochrome c oxidase is partially insensitive to catabolite repression. These results provide evidence for the presence in strain SP1 of an alternative mitochondrial pathway, going from the external NADH dehydrogenase to an oxidase, different from the normal NADH dehydrogenase ubiquinone pathway.  相似文献

The enzyme lactoperoxidase is part of the innate immune system in vertebrates and owes its antimicrobial activity to the formation of oxidative reaction products from various substrates. In a previous study, we have reported that, with thiocyanate as a substrate, the lactoperoxidase system elicits a distinct stress response in Escherichia coli MG1655. This response is different from but partly overlapping with the stress responses to hydrogen peroxide and to superoxide. In the current work, we constructed knockouts in 10 lactoperoxidase system-inducible genes to investigate their role in the tolerance of E. coli MG1655 to this antimicrobial system. Five mutations resulted in a slightly increased sensitivity, but one mutation (corA) caused hypersensitivity to the lactoperoxidase system. This hypersensitive phenotype was specific to the lactoperoxidase system, since neither the sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide nor to the superoxide generator plumbagin was affected in the corA mutant. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium corA had a similar phenotype. Although corA encodes an Mg2+ transporter and at least three other inducible open reading frames belonged to the Mg2+ regulon, repression of the Mg stimulon by Mg2+ did not change the lactoperoxidase sensitivity of either the wild-type or corA mutant. Prior exposure to 0.3 mM Ni2+, which is also transported by CorA, strongly sensitized MG1655 but not the corA mutant to the lactoperoxidase system. Furthermore, this Ni2+-dependent sensitization was suppressed by the CorA-specific inhibitor Co(III) hexaammine. These results indicate that CorA affects the lactoperoxidase sensitivity of E. coli by modulating the cytoplasmic concentrations of transition metals that enhance the toxicity of the lactoperoxidase system.  相似文献

A steady-state kinetic analysis was made of thiocyanate (SCN-) oxidation catalyzed by human peroxidase (SPO) isolated from parotid saliva. For comparative purposes, bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO) was also studied. Both enzymes followed the classical Theorell-Chance mechanism under the initial conditions [H2O2] less than 0.2mM, [SCN-] less than 10mM, and pH greater than 6.0. The pH-independent rate constants (k1) for the formation of compound I were estimated to be 8 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (SD = 1, n = 18) for LPO and 5 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (SD = 1, n = 11) for SPO. The pH-independent second-order rate constants (k4) for the oxidation of thiocyanate by compound I were estimated to be 5 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (SD = 1, n = 18) for LPO and 9 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 (SD = 2, n = 11) for SPO. Both enzymes were inhibited by SCN- at pH less than 6. The pH-independent equilibrium constant (Ki) for the formation of the inhibited enzyme-SCN- complex was estimated to be 24 M-1 (SD = 12, n = 8) for LPO and 44 M-1 (SD = 4, n = 10) for SPO. An apparent pH dependence of the estimated values for k4 and Ki for both LPO and SPO was consistent with a mechanism based on assumptions that protonation of compound I was necessary for the SCN- peroxidation step, that a second protonation of compound I gave an inactive form, and that the inhibited enzyme-SCN- complex could be further protonated to give another inactive form.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Evidence for singlet oxygen formation has been obtained for the lactoperoxidase, H2O2 and bromide system by monitoring 2,3-diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran oxidation, O2 evolution, and chemiluminescence. This could provide an explanation for the cytotoxic and microbicidal activity of peroxidases and polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Evidence for singlet oxygen formation included the following. (a) Chemiluminescence accompanying the enzymic reaction was doubled in a deuterated buffer and inhibited by singlet oxygen traps. (b) The singlet oxygen traps, diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran, were oxidized to their known singlet oxygen oxidation products in the presence of lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and bromide. (c) The rate of oxidation of diphenylfuran and diphenylisobenzofuran was inhibited when monitored in the presence of known singlet oxygen traps or quenchers. (d) Oxygen evolution from the enzymic reaction was inhibited by singlet oxygen traps but not by singlet oxygen quenchers. (e) The traps or quenchers which were effective inhibitors in the experiments above did not inhibit peroxidase activity, were not competitive peroxidase substrates and did not react with the hypobromite intermediate since they did not inhibit hydrogen peroxide consumption by the enzyme. Using these criteria, various biological molecules were tested for their reactivity with singlet oxygen. Furthermore, by studying their effect on oxygen release by the enzymic reaction, it could be ascertained whether they were acting as singlet oxygen traps or quenchers.  相似文献

Acetaminophen, a common analgesic and antipyretic drug, is frequently administered to individuals undergoing anthracycline chemotherapy. Here, the effect of acetaminophen on the metabolism of daunorubicin and doxorubicin by isolated enzymes lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase, and by myeloperoxidase-containing human leukemia HL-60 cells was investigated using spectrophotometric and EPR techniques. We report that at pharmacological concentrations acetaminophen strongly stimulates oxidation of the anthracyclines by lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase systems, which results in irreversibly altered (colorless) products. The initial rate and efficacy of daunorubicin oxidation depends on pH. While at pH approximately 7 the oxidation is rapid and extensive, almost no oxidation occurs at pH approximately 5. In the absence of daunorubicin, oxidation of acetaminophen by lactoperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide is only weakly dependent on pH, however, at pH 7.4 it strongly depends on [daunorubicin]. Ascorbate and reduced glutathione strongly inhibited oxidation of anthracyclines by lactoperoxidase and HL-60 systems. Using EPR, a daunorubicin-derived radical was detected in a daunorubicin/acetaminophen/peroxidase/hydrogen peroxide system as a narrow single line (0.175 mT) with g = 2.0047. When daunorubicin was omitted, only an acetaminophen-melanin EPR signal was detected (g = 2.0043, line width approximately 0.5 mT). Similar results were obtained with doxorubicin. We suggest that the stimulation by acetaminophen is primarily due to its preferential oxidation by peroxidases to the corresponding phenoxyl radical, which subsequently reacts with daunorubicin (doxorubicin). Because biological properties of oxidatively transformed anthracyclines will certainly be different from those of their parent compounds, the possible acetaminophen-enhanced degradation of the anthracyclines in vivo is likely to interfere with anticancer and/or cardiotoxic activities of these agents.  相似文献
