Enzyme inhibitors are now included in all kinds of drugs essential to treat most of the human diseases including communicable, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological diseases and cancer. Numerous marine algae have been reported to be a potential source of novel enzyme inhibitors with various pharmaceutical values. Thus, the purpose of this review is to brief the enzyme inhibitors from marine algae of therapeutic potential to treat common diseases. As per our knowledge this is the first review for the potential enzyme inhibitors from marine origin. This review contains 86 algal enzyme inhibitors reported during 1989–2013 and commercial enzyme inhibitors available in the market. Compounds in the review are grouped according to the disease conditions in which they are involved; diabetes, obesity, dementia, inflammation, melanogenesis, AIDS, hypertension and other viral diseases. The structure-activity relationship of most of the compounds are also discussed. In addition, the drug likeness properties of algal inhibitors were evaluated using Lipinski's 'Rule of Five'. 相似文献

The inhibition of hH-PGDS has been proposed as a potential target for the development of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Herein we describe our investigation of the binding pocket of this important enzyme and our observation that two water molecules bind to our inhibitors and the enzyme. A series of compounds were prepared to the probe the importance of the water molecules in determining the binding affinity of the inhibitors to the enzyme. The study provides insight into the binding requirements for the design of potent hH-PGDS inhibitors. 相似文献

Enzyme activity can be modulated by the concurrent action of two modifiers, either activators or inhibitors. The kinetic mechanisms for the interaction of the individual modifiers with the target enzyme can change considerably when two modifiers bind simultaneously. We illustrate a general equation for this kind of interactions, which can unambiguously describe the behavior of activators and inhibitors acting by any combination of classical kinetic mechanisms. The flexibility of this model is exemplified by combinations of activators and/or inhibitors, which can be competitive, uncompetitive or mixed-type, bind the target enzyme in either compulsory or random order, and are able to drive or not enzyme activity to zero at saturation. The model shows that the effects of zero-interaction and synergy between simultaneously acting enzyme modifiers are common events. Yet, in disagreement with previous theories, this model shows that antagonism between enzyme modifiers is a rare effect, which can be predicted only under very particular circumstances. 相似文献

In our search for the mechanism of the enzyme oestrone sulphatase (ES) we have synthesised and evaluated a number of compounds that were predicted to possess some inhibitory activity. Some of these compounds were indeed found to be inhibitors of ES, whilst other compounds were not. From a consideration of the structure–activity relationship (SAR) of the inhibitors and non-inhibitors of this enzyme, we discovered a factor which we now believe is the main inhibitory moiety within the aminosulphonated inhibitors. We therefore report the results of our study into a series of phenyl and alkyl sulphamated compounds as inhibitors of ES. The results of the study show that the substituted phenyl sulphamates are potent inhibitors, whereas the alkyl compounds are, in general, non-inhibitors. Using the results of our SAR study, we postulate the probable mechanism for the irreversible and reversible inhibition of ES, and rationalise the role of the different physicochemical factors in the inhibition of this crucial enzyme. 相似文献

Guanidinobenzoatase is a proteolytic enzyme capable of degrading fibronectin and is a tumour associated enzyme. 9-Aminoacridine is a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme and has been used to locate cells possessing this enzyme in wax embedded sections by means of fluorescent microscopy. Naturally occurring inhibitors of guanidinobenzoatase can be extracted from different tissues. These inhibitors show selectivity in their ability to inhibit the binding of 9-aminoacridine to different types of tumour cells which have invaded human liver tissue. Inhibition is non-competitive and reversible. The results indicate that guanidinobenzoatase exists in a number of different forms on the surface of different tumour cells. These different forms of the enzyme were recognised by inhibitors obtained from different organs. It is suggested that these inhibitors may have a regulatory role in tumour cell migration. 相似文献

An α-carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) was purified and characterized kinetically from erythrocytes of the sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedti, an endangered species. The sturgeon enzyme (AgCA) showed kinetic parameters for the CO(2) hydration reaction comparable with those of the human erythrocytes enzyme hCA II, being a highly active enzyme, whereas its esterase activity with 4-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate was lower. Sulphonamide inhibitors (acetazolamide, sulphanilamide) strongly inhibited AgCA, whereas metal ions (Ag(+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+) and Co(2+)) were weak, millimolar inhibitors. Several widely used pesticides (2,4-dichlorophenol, dithiocarbamates, parathion and carbaryl) were also assayed as inhibitors of this enzyme. The dithiocarbamates were low micromolar AgCA inhibitors (IC(50) of 16-18 μM), whereas the other pesticides inhibited the enzyme with IC(50)s in the range of 102-398 μM. The wide use of dithiocarbamate pesticides may be one of the factors enhancing the vulnerability of this sturgeon species to pollutants. 相似文献

The structural requirements of the NADP+ molecule as a coenzyme in the oxidative decarboxylation reaction catalysed by pigeon liver malic enzyme were studied by kinetic and fluorimetric analyses with various NADP+ analogues and fragments. The substrate L-malate had little effect on the nucleotide binding. Etheno-NADP+, 3-acetylpyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, and nicotinamide-hypoxanthine dinucleotide phosphate act as alternative coenzymes for the enzyme. Their kinetic parameters were similar to that of NADP+. Thionicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 3-aminopyridine-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, 5'-adenylyl imidodiphosphate, nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide 3'-phosphate and NAD+ act as inhibitors for the enzyme. The first two were competitive with respect to NADP+ and non-competitive with respect to L-malate; the other inhibitors were non-competitive with NADP+. All NADP+ fragments were inhibitory to the enzyme, with a wide range of affinity, depending on the presence or absence of a 2'-phosphate group. Compounds with this group bind to the enzyme 2-3 orders of magnitude more tightly than those without this group. Only compounds with this group were competitive inhibitors with respect to NADP+. We conclude that the 2'-phosphate group is crucial for the nucleotide binding of this enzyme, whereas the carboxyamide carbonyl group of the nicotinamide moiety is important for the coenzyme activity. There is a strong synergistic effect between the binding of the nicotinamide and adenosine moieties of the nucleotide molecule. 相似文献

Gamma-secretase is one of the critical enzymes required for the generation of amyloid-beta peptides from the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Because amyloid-beta peptides are generally accepted to play a key role in Alzheimer disease, gamma-secretase inhibition holds the promise for a disease-modifying therapy for this neurodegenerative condition. Although recent progress has enhanced the understanding of the biology and composition of the gamma-secretase enzyme complex, less information is available on the actual interaction of various inhibitor classes with the enzyme. Here we show that the two principal classes of inhibitor described in the scientific and patent literature, aspartyl protease transition state analogue and small molecule non-transition state inhibitors, display fundamental differences in the way they interact with the enzyme. Taking advantage of a gamma-secretase enzyme overexpressing cellular system and different radiolabeled gamma-secretase inhibitors, we observed that the maximal binding of non-transition state gamma-secretase inhibitors accounts only for half the number of catalytic sites of the recombinant enzyme complex. This characteristic stoichiometry can be best accommodated with a model whereby the non-transition state inhibitors bind to a unique site at the interface of a dimeric enzyme. Subsequent competition studies confirm that this site appears to be targeted by the main classes of small molecule gamma-secretase inhibitor. In contrast, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug gamma-secretase modulator sulindac sulfide displayed noncompetitive antagonism for all types of inhibitor. This finding suggests that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-type gamma-secretase modulators target an alternative site on the enzyme, thereby changing the conformation of the binding sites for gamma-secretase inhibitors. 相似文献

Dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) is a key enzyme in lysine biosynthesis and an important antibiotic target. The enzyme catalyses the condensation of (S)-aspartate semialdehyde (ASA) and pyruvate to form dihydrodipicolinate. Two new irreversible inhibitors of dihydrodipicolinate synthase are reported, designed to mimic the acyclic enzyme-bound condensation product of ASA and pyruvate. These compounds represent an important new lead in the design of potent inhibitors for this enzyme. 相似文献

To realize the promise of genomics-based therapeutics, new methods are needed to accelerate the discovery of small molecules that selectively modulate protein activity. Toward this end, advances in combinatorial synthesis have provided unprecedented access to large compound libraries of considerable structural complexity and diversity, shifting the bottleneck in drug discovery to the development of efficient screens for protein targets. Screening for reversible enzyme inhibitors typically requires extensive target-specific work, including protein expression and purification, as well as the development of specific substrate assays. Here we report a proteomic method for the discovery of reversible enzyme inhibitors that avoids these steps. We show that competitive profiling of a library of candidate serine hydrolase inhibitors in complex proteomes with activity-based chemical probes identifies nanomolar reversible inhibitors of several enzymes simultaneously, including the endocannabinoid-degrading enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH) and an uncharacterized membrane-associated hydrolase that lacks known substrates. The strategy tests inhibitors against numerous enzymes in parallel, assigning both potency and selectivity factors to each agent. In this way, promiscuous inhibitors were readily rejected in favor of equally potent compounds with 500-fold or greater selectivity for their targets. 相似文献

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors cause cough in some patients, but the mechanism of this effect is not known. Six patients in whom these inhibitors had caused cough and a further two patients in whom they were suspected to have caused worsening of bronchial asthma were studied. Nine patients in whom angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors had not been associated with cough served as controls. In the controls lung function and bronchial reactivity were measured once; for the study patients these and the cough index were measured twice before rechallenge for two weeks with an angiotensin enzyme inhibitor and once afterwards. Rechallenge with drug for two weeks caused a significant decrease in the mean concentration of histamine causing a 35% fall in airways conductance and a significant increase in the cough index. Patients with cough showed bronchial hyperactivity compared with the controls, which increased after rechallenge with the inhibitors.Cough associated with converting enzyme inhibitors may be a variant of the cough in asthma. 相似文献

Dihydrodipicolinate synthase is a key enzyme in the lysine biosynthesis pathway that catalyzes the condensation of pyruvate and aspartate semi-aldehyde. A series of phenolic ketoacid derivatives that mimic the proposed enzymatic intermediate were designed as potential inhibitors of this enzyme and were synthesized from simple precursors. The ketoacid derivatives were shown to act as slow and slow-tight binding inhibitors. Mass spectrometric experiments provided further evidence to support the proposed model of inhibition, demonstrating either an encounter complex or a condensation product for the slow and slow-tight binding inhibitors, respectively. 相似文献

The renin-angiotensin system is perhaps the most important hormonal system in the regulation of blood pressure. Its influence on blood pressure is mediated by the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Since angiotensin-converting enzyme performs the last step in the biosynthesis of angiotensin II, inhibition of this enzyme has attracted the attention of many researchers as a novel approach in the control of high blood pressure. The evolution of inhibitors of this enzyme will be traced from the early snake venom peptide inhibitors to the drugs currently available for the treatment of high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. 相似文献

Trichomonas vaginalis continues to be a major health problem with drug-resistant strains increasing in prevalence. Novel antitrichomonal agents that are mechanistically distinct from current therapies are needed. The NIH Clinical Compound Collection was screened to find inhibitors of the uridine ribohydrolase enzyme required by the parasite to scavenge uracil for its growth. The proton-pump inhibitors omeprazole, pantoprazole, and rabeprazole were identified as inhibitors of this enzyme, with IC50 values ranging from 0.3 to 14.5 μM. This suggests a molecular mechanism for the in vitro antitrichomonal activity of these proton-pump inhibitors, and may provide important insights toward structure-based drug design. 相似文献

A carboxylesterase (EC 3.1.1.1) was purified from germinated finger millet by ammonium sulphate fractionation, diethylaminoethyl-cellulose
chromatography and Sephadex G-200 filtration. The homogeneity of the enzyme was established by Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis,
isoelectric focussing and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme has a single polypeptide
chain with a molecular weight of 70,000. The amino acid analysis of the purified enzyme revealed that it contained a greater
number of neutral and acidic, compared to, basic amino acid residues. The isoelectric pH of the enzyme was found to be 5·1.

A series of 2-arylindole-3-acetamide farnesyl protein transferase inhibitors has been identified. The compounds inhibit the enzyme in a farnesyl pyrophosphate-competitive manner and are selective for farnesyl protein transferase over the related enzyme geranylgeranyltransferase-I. A representative member of this series of inhibitors demonstrates equal effectiveness against HDJ-2 and K-Ras farnesylation in a cell-based assay when geranylgeranylation is suppressed. 相似文献

The development of a reliable assay for human synovial fluid phospholipase A2 (HSF PLA2) is important for the kinetic characterization of the enzyme and for the identification of enzyme inhibitors. This enzyme behaves differently from other extracellular PLA2s in many standard phospholipase assays and is generally assayed using radiolabeled, autoclaved Escherichia coli as a substrate. We have now developed a nonradioactive, continuous, spectrophotometric assay for this enzyme that is adaptable for use with a microtiterplate reader and is suitable for screening enzyme inhibitors. The assay uses a thioester derivative of diheptanoyl phosphatidylcholine as a substrate, with which the enzyme displays a specific activity of about 25 mumol min-1 mg-1. The substrate concentration curve fits a Hill equation with an apparent Km of 500 microM and a Hill coefficient of two. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 7.5 in this assay and requires about 10 mM Ca2+ for maximal activity. The presence of 0.3 mM Triton X-100 was necessary to solubilize the substrate; however, higher concentrations of the detergent inhibited enzyme activity. Using this spectrophotometric assay, inhibition of HSF PLA2 by a thioether phosphonate phosphatidylethanolamine analog was observed with an IC50 of 18 microM. 相似文献

Neuraminidase (NA) is a critical enzyme of the influenza virus and many inhibitors targeting to this enzyme are quite efficient and encouraging as anti-influenza agents. In this paper the binding model of five series of inhibitors to NA was examined using molecular simulation method. The resulted conformation and orientation of the compounds were directly put into CoMSIA study. The most significant amino acid residues at binding sites and the requirement for features of substituents were applied to direct design of new inhibitors. The robust QSAR model and its three-dimensional contour map provided guidelines to building novel compounds with new scaffold and for structural optimization of current molecules. 相似文献

Peptide inhibitors of angiotensin I-converting enzyme in digests of gelatin by bacterial collagenase. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Peptide inhibitors of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (peptidyldipeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.15.1) were produced by digesting gelatin with bacterial collagenase. The inhibitors were isolated from the digests with a combination of alcohol fractionation, treatment with Amberlite CG-50 column, gel filtration through Sephadex G-25, and Dowex 50 column and paper chromatography. Nine peptide fractions were purified to apparent homogeneity judging by thin-layer and ion-exchange column chromatography, and amino acid composition. Amino acid sequences of the peptides were determined: 2 were found to be mixtures of peptides and the sequence of another was only partially determined. Six of the peptides were potent inhibitors of the converting enzyme, while the other three were less active. 6 peptides were substrates for the enzyme. The enzyme released a dipeptide, Ala-Hyp from one peptide and was strongly inhibited by this dipeptide. The remainder of the parent peptides was a less effective inhibitor. 相似文献

The screening for enzyme inhibitors of microbial origin in the past decades has been a prosperous area to find new metabolites that are of potential importance as therapeutic or antibiotic agents. This review attempts a survey of recent achievements in this type of screening. Special emphasis is given to enzyme inhibitors and screening systems in fields where industry has a main interest in development. This includes some notes on the improved methodology for the detection of reversible and irreversible inhibitors of beta-lactamases and the presentation of a unique inhibitor of alpha-amylase from porcine pancreas isolated from a strain of Streptomyces tendae. This inhibitor (HOE 467) may be of potential use in the treatment of diabetic conditions, obesity and adipositas. The results show that the screening for enzyme inhibitors from microorganisms still provides one of the central challenges for future research. 相似文献
