Studies were conducted to determine the fate of 15α-hydroxyprogesterone in human placental tissue. Tritiated 15α-hydroxyprogesterone was perfused through normal human placentas at the time of Cesarean section and incubated with a 10,000x g microsomal supernate of the placenta . In both systems the substrate, but no additional metabolites were identified. These findings indicate that 15α-hydroxyprogesterone is not metabolized during its passage in the human term placenta, and suggests that because of its fetal origin clinical measurements of 15α-hydroxyprogesterone may provide a valuable index to the status of fetal viability. 相似文献

The isolated myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle of the guinea-pig ilem (GPI) was used as testsystem to study the influence of chronic morphine treatment on the levels of enkephalins, β-endorphin and some of its fragments. The peptides were assayed by means of a combination of high pressure liquid chromatography and radioimmunoassays. It was found that the levels of methionine- and leucine-enkephalin and β-endorphin were not altered by chronic morphine treatment of guinea-pigs nor in GPI exposed to morphine . However, the levels of some β-endorphin fragments i.c. γ-endorphin and des-tyrosine-γ-endorphin were elevated after morphine treatment and respectively. It is suggested that β-endorphin and its fragments are involved in homeostatic processes during development of opiate tolerance. 相似文献

Studies were conducted to determine the influence of some LHRH analogues on gonadotropic hormone (GtH) secretion in two species of trout. The observations indicated that synthetic LHRH and various stimulatory LHRH analogues are approximately equipotent in these fish. This is an unexpected result considering the superactive properties of these analogues demonstrated in mammals. An inhibitory LHRH analogue was also tested in the trout with the result that powerful inhibition of LHRH induced GtH release was obtained. 相似文献

The effects of danazol on steroidogenesis in the 16–20 week old human fetal adrenal were examined by studying: 1) danazol binding to adrenal microsomal and mitochondrial cytochrome P-450, and 2) enzyme kinetics of danazol inhibition of the adrenal microsomal 21-hydroxylase and the mitochondrial llβ-hydroxylase. The addition of danazol to preparations of adrenal microsomes or mitochondria elicited a type I cytochrome P-450 binding spectrum. Danazol bound to microsomal cytochrome P-450 with a high affinity apparent spectral dissociation constant (Kg) of 1 μM and with a lower affinity K's of 10 μM. Danazol bound to mitochondrial cytochrome P-450 with a Kg of 5 μM. In addition, danazol competitively inhibited the microsomal 21-hydroxylase (apparent enzymatic inhibition constant KI = 0.8 μM) and the mitochondrial 11β-hydroxylase (KI = 3 μM). These findings demonstrate that low concentrations of danazol directly inhibit steroidogenesis in the human fetal adrenal . 相似文献

The substrate specificities of the endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidases from and were compared and found to differ considerably. The enzyme from released Asn-GlcNAc-Fuc-containing glycopeptides from exoglycosidase-treated acidic IgM glycopeptides but was limited in its capacity to hydrolyze ovalbumin glycopeptides larger than Asn(GlcNAc)2(Man)5. In contrast, the enzyme from hydrolyzed this and larger neutral oligosaccharides but could not hydrolyze the above fucose-containing IgM glycopeptides. Removal of the fucose residue, however, converted the latter to an active substrate for the enzyme, thus broadening its substrate range to encompass most of those substrates hydrolyzed by the endoglycosidase. 相似文献

Recently, 1-β--arabinofuranosylcytosine-5′-diphosphate--1,2-dipalmitin (VIa) was reported to inhibit the growth of L51784 cells in mice and of human colon carcinoma HCT-15 cells, also in mice. This paper describes the synthesis of a single diastereomer by conversion of 1-β--arabinofuranosylcytosine 5′-monophosphate (II) to the nucleoside 5′-phosphomorpholidate (III), followed by reaction with -α-dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid (IV) to give 1-β--arabinofuranosylcytosine-5′-diphosphate--1,2-dipalmitin (V) in good yield. The separation of the product is described and its characterization by chromatography, elemental analysis, and spectroscopic methods. The lipophilic nature of V renders it insoluble in aqueous media and a method of sample preparation utilizing sonication techniques is described which provides a clear solution suitable for biological evaluation. In addition, the ability of V to inhibit the growth of L1210 cells and of mouse myeloma MPC 11 cells is desscribed and compared with 1-β--arabinofuranosylcytosine (I) and other lipophilic prodrugs of I. 相似文献

L-leucinthiol (2-amino-4-methyl-1-pentanethiol) was designed as an inhibitor of leucine aminopeptidase by analogy with sulfhydryl inhibitors of other zinc-containing peptidases. It was synthesized from L-leucinol and shown to be a potent competitive inhibitor of the microsomal aminopeptidase from porcine kidney (Ki = 2.2 × 10?8M). The results suggest that the mechanism of aminopeptidase may be similar to that of other metalloproteases. 相似文献

The dinoflagellate was investigated for its sterol composition. Five of the six sterols were isolated and identified as cholest-5-en-3β-ol, (24ξ)-24-methylcholest-5-en-3β-ol, stigmasta-5,22-dien-3β-ol, (22E,24R)-4α,23,24-trimethyl-5α-cholest-22-en-3β-ol, and 4α,23ξ,24ξ-trimethyl-5α-cholestan-3β-ol. 相似文献

The effects of estradiol-17β treatment on plasma lipid levels, liver lipid and glycogen reserves were examined during different phases of the reproductive cycle in goldfish, . Estrogen therapy resulted in increased plasma and hepatic lipid levels except during the spawning season. Hepatic glycogen deposits were depleted by estradiol injections during all seasons. Treatment of fish with the estrogen antagonist, CI-628, during the spawning season caused a reduction in plasma and liver lipid levels. Electrophoretic studies conducted during the post-spawning season showed that estrogen induces the appearance of a specific lipoprotein, probably a yolk precursor, in the serum and liver of goldfish. 相似文献

3′,4′-Dideoxykanamycin B, the kanamycin B derivative that is active against resistant bacteria, was prepared from kanamycin B viaN-tosylation, 3′,4′-O-sulphonylation, 3′,4′-unsaturation, and hydrogenation. The unsaturated intermediate was obtained from the 3′,4′-di-O-sulphonyl derivatives by the action of sodium iodide in N,N-dimethylformamide; if zinc dust was added in this reaction, aziridine derivatives were formed, Removal of the tosyl group was successfully performed by using sodium in ammonia-ethylamine. 相似文献

4-Methyl-α-ethyl-tyramine and its 4, α-dimethyl analogue release 5-HT from human blood platelets . At lower concentrations they inhibit the uptake of 5-HT into platelets. Tricyclic antidepressant drugs do not block 5-HT release by these compounds. On removal of the depletor, platelets recover their ability to take up 5-HT; platelets preloaded with exogenous 5-HT lose the same proportion of amine as those containing only endogenous 5-HT. Tetrabenazine behaves similarly, but its actions are partial, whereas those of the tyramines are more complete. The temperature dependence of spontaneous and drug-induced 5-HT release has been measured. The results are discussed in terms of the action of these drugs and with special reference to the use of human blood platelet as a model of a 5-HT-containing nerve ending. 相似文献

The binding of progesterone, 17β-estradiol and 19-nortestosterone acetate to the Δ5-3-ketosteroid isomerase from has been investigated by the technique of equilibrium dialysis. Under the conditions used, all three steroids formed 2:1 complexes with each molecule of enzyme dimer (M.W. = 26,788). No evidence of any cooperative binding phenomena was obtained. The dissociation constants of the enzyme steroid complexes at 25°C were: progesterone, 2.2 μ; estradiol, 2.5 μ; 19-nortestosterone acetate, 9.2 μ. 相似文献

The effects of intraperitoneal administration of (S)-4-amino-5-fluoropentanoic acid, a mechanism-based covalent inactivator of γ-aminobutyric acid transaminase (GABA-T), on whole brain GABA metabolism in mice were investigated. A dose-dependent and time-dependent irreversible inactivation of GABA-T was observed with a concomitant increase in whole brain GABA levels. The compound exhibited no nor time-dependent inhibition of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), alanine transaminase, or aspartate transaminase (Asp-T). It was, however, a potent competitive reversible inhibitor of GAD and a weak competitive inhibitor of Asp-T. The chloro analogue, (S)-4-amino-5-chloropentanoic acid, was ineffective. 相似文献

In the immature rat uterus, high concentrations of androgens competed specifically with estradiol on the estrogen receptor (RE). This competition was stereospecific for C19 steroids bearing a 17β and/or 3 hydroxyl group. Very low affinity ligands, such as testosterone, could not compete with estradiol at equilibrium but decreased the association rate of estradiol on its receptor. High doses (> 0.4mg) of 5 α aihydrotestosterone provoked as the nuclear translocation of RE. The nuclear receptor thus formed displayed the same 5.2 S sedimentation constant as that induced by estradiol. We conclude that the weak affinity binding of androgens to the estrogen receptor is sufficient to induce its nuclear translocation provided androgen concentration is high enough in uterus to occupy the estradiol binding site. Conversely, progesterone which does not bind RE could not provoke its nuclear translocation. 相似文献

The addition of cholic acid to growing cultures of species V.P.I. 12708 caused a 25 and 46-fold increase in 7α-dehydroxylation activity using cell extracts or whole cell suspensions, respectively. Bile acid conversion rates using either [14C]-cholic acid or [14C]-chenodeoxycholic acid as substrates increased at approximately the same rate when either cholic or chenodeoxycholic acid was added to growing cultures as inducer. The induction of 7α-dehydroxylase activity was highly specific requiring a free C-24-carboxyl group and an unhindered 7α-hydroxy group on the B ring of the steroid nucleus. Unexpectedly, cholic acid also rapidly induced NADH:flavin oxidoreductase activity in growing cultures of this bacterium. 相似文献
