1. Monoamine oxidase activity has been studied in hepatopancreas of Octopus vulgaris using 5-HT and PEA as substrates.2. Time courses of MAO activity against 5-HT and PEA show that the enzyme has higher affinity for PEA than for 5-HT.3. MAO activity against 5-HT appears more sensitive than MAO activity against PEA, to variations of the temperature (range 17–67°C).4. The inhibition curves obtained with clorgyline and deprenyl indicate that MAO activity is due to a single form of the enzyme, not corresponding to type A and type B MAO.5. Semicarbazide 10−4 M does not affect the deamination of 5-HT and PEA, demonstrating that a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase is not involved in this process. 相似文献

Amine oxidase activity against 5-HT and PEA has been studied in hepatopancreas homogenates of Callista chione (Mollusca, Bivalvia). Specific activity values were 3 pmoles/mg protein/min and 0.05 nmoles/mg protein/min with 5-HT and PEA, respectively. Values of activities measured with the two substrates were differently affected by variations of pH (6.5–8) and temperature (17°C–67°C). Monoamine osidase inhibitors such as clorgyline and deprenyl used at a concentration of 1014 M did not significantly affect 5-HT and PEA deamination. Semicarbazide 104 M completely inhibited deamination of both substrates indicating that, at least under the experimental conditions adopted, 5-HT and PEA were deaminated by a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase. 相似文献

Tricyclic antidepressant drugs were found to inhibit human platelet MAO. The I50 for the inhibition by amitriptyline was 4 × 10?6 M, 1.6 × 10?5 M, and 2 × 10?4 M when phenylethylamine, tryptamine, and benzylamine were used as substrates. Amitriptyline exhibited noncompetitive inhibition with the substrates phenylethylamine and tryptamine but competitive inhibition with benzylamine. Solubilization and partial purification of platelet MAO did not alter the inhibitory effects of tricyclics. Treatment of the partially purified enzyme with the chaotropic agent sodium perchlorate produced only a slight increase in the inhibition constant for amitriptyline. Our findings suggest that selective inhibition of phenylethylamine oxidation may mediate the antidepressant actions of tricyclics. In addition, our studies provide some evidence for the existence of multiple catalytic sites of MAO activity in the human platelet. 相似文献

Brain homogenates of the honey-bee, Apis mellifera, have been found to possess enzymes capable of catalysing the N-acetylation of tryptamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine with acetyl coenzyme A as the acetyl donor. The Km of the N-acetylation of tryptamine was 5·0 × 10−7 M at pH 7·0 and 33°C. Evidence was obtained that the indolealkylamines, tryptamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine, are not oxidized by monoamine oxidase (MAO) as is commonly considered to be a major catabolic route in vertebrate animals. The assay of Wurtman and Axelrod, reportedly specific for monoamine oxidase activity, will not distinguish between oxidation by MAO and N-acetylation of tryptamine and so should not be used to assay for MAO activity in insect tissues without careful identification of the products of the reaction. Implications of N-acetylation of indoleaklamines are discussed in relation to the neurotransmitter problem. 相似文献

Nonenzymatic rates of hydrolytic deamination of adenosine and cytidine by acids and bases analogous to side chains of naturally occurring amino acids are compared with the rates of uncatalyzed deamination in water and with the rates of the hydroxide- and hydrogen ion-catalyzed reactions. For adenosine, hydroxide ion is an effective catalyst, with a second-order rate constant of 7.5 × 10−6 m−1 s−1 at 85°C and an energy of activation of 19.9 kcal/mol. Acid-catalyzed deamination of adenine proceeds with a second-order rate constant of 1.5 × 10−6 m−1 s−1 at 85°C. At concentrations of 1 m and at pH values corresponding to their respective pKa values, dimethylamine, acetate, selenide, imidazole, phosphate, and zinc(II) do not enhance the rate of deamination of adenosine beyond that observed in water, and 2-mercaptoethanol produces only a modest rate enhancement. The uncatalyzed rate of adenosine deamination in water is 8.6 × 10−9 s−1 at 85°C: extrapolation to 37°C and comparison with kcat for rat hepatoma adenosine deaminase yield a rate enhancement by the enzyme of approximately 2 × 1012-fold. 1,6-Dimethyladenosine, the conjugate acid of which has a pKa value much higher than that of adenosine, is not readily deaminated, suggesting that the uncatalyzed deamination of adenosine does not proceed by hydroxide ion attack on the rare protonated form of adenosine, but rather by attack on the neutral species. Deamination of cytidine is catalyzed most effectively by hydroxide ion, with a second-order rate constant of 4.5 × 10−4 m−1 s−1 at 85°C and an energy of activation of 28.5 kcal/mol. The uncatalyzed rate of deamination of cytidine in water, which also exhibits an energy of activation of 28.5 kcal/mol, is 8.8 × 10−8 s−1 at 85°C. Comparison of the rate extrapolated to 25°C with kcat for bacterial cytidine deaminase gives a rate enhancement for the enzyme of 4 × 1011-fold. The C-5 proton of the pyrimidine ring of cytidine does not exchange with solvent during alkaline hydrolysis, suggesting that deamination under these conditions does not involve prior addition of water across the 5,6 double bond. 相似文献

Specificity of endogenous substrates for types A and B monoamine oxidase in rat striatum 总被引:7,自引:6,他引:1
Abstract: Studies were designed to evaluate specificity of the transmitter amines serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and dopamine (DA), as well as the trace amines p -tyramine ( p -TA) and β -phenylethylamine (PEA) for types A and B monoamine oxidase (MAO) in rat striatum. 5-HT was found to be a specific substrate for the type A enzyme. However, the specificity of PEA for the type B enzyme was found to be concentration-dependent. When low concentrations of PEA and 5-HT were used to measure type B and type A activities, respectively, both clorgyline and deprenyl were highly selective for the sensitive form of MAO in vivo. However, as the concentration of PEA was increased, the type B inhibitor deprenyl became less effective in preventing deamination of PEA. Conversely, the type A inhibitor clorgyline became more effective in this regard. Kinetic analysis following selective in vivo inhibition showed PEA deamination by both forms of MAO with a 13-fold greater affinity for the type B enzyme. In vivo dose-response curves obtained with the common substrates DA and p -TA showed approximately 20% deamination by the B enzyme. Kinetic values for DA and p -TA deamination in in vivo -treated tissue possessing only type A or type B MAO activity, revealed a 2.5-fold greater affinity for the type A enzyme. These studies show the importance of concentration on substrate specificity in striatal tissue. The results obtained characterize the common substrate properties of DA and p -TA as well as of PEA in rat striatum. In addition, the presence of regional specificity for 5-HT deamination by only type A MAO is demonstrated. 相似文献

The tricyclic antidepressant drug, amitriptyline, inhibited the B form of human brain mitochondrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) under normal atmospheric conditions in a noncompetitive manner when phenylethylamine (PEA) was used as substrate and competitively when benzylamine (BzNH2) was employed as substrate. In addition, it was also found that PEA and BzNH2 inhibited each other's degradation noncompetitively. Similar results have previously been reported with human platelet MAO. These data suggest that the catalytic binding sites for PEA and BzNH2 on the B form of human brain MAO may be different. Attempts were made to further distinguish these catalytic binding sites on the brain oxidase using the irreversible MAO inhibitors, pargyline and clorgyline. Though these drugs have considerably different affinities for the B form of the oxidase, the degree to which either compound inhibited PEA or BzNH2 deamination was essentially identical. When incubations were performed at elevated oxygen concentrations PEA and BzNH2 became mutually competitive inhibitors of each other's metabolism. Also at the higher levels of oxygen, amitriptyline inhibition of PEA deamination approached a competitive fashion. These results suggest that PEA and BzNH2 share a common catalytic binding site on the B form of MAO and, in addition, bind to an inhibitory site on the reduced form of the oxidase. Accordingly, the data indicate that amitriptyline also binds to both the oxidized and reduced forms of this human brain oxidase. 相似文献

A comparative study of substrate specificity of monoamine oxidase (MAO) in mitochondria of liver of the Pacific squid Todarodes pacificus and of Wistar rats is carried out. It is revealed that the squid liver MAO, unlike the rat liver MAO, is capable of deaminating not only tyramine, serotonin, and benzylamine, but also histamine. The squid liver MAO activity in relation to all studied substrates is approximately 10 times lower, while the sorption ability, several tens times lower, than the rat liver MAO. Semicarbazide, a classic inhibitor of diamine oxidase, at a concentration 1 × 10–2 M did not inhibit the catalytic activity of both studied enzymes. The specificity of action of an irreversible inhibitor, proflavine, is established, which was seen at deamination of various substrates by the squid liver MAO to the greater degree, than by the rat liver MAO. The values of the bimolecular rate constant of the irreversible inhibition (k
II) by proflavine were 2.5–20-fold higher (depending on substrate) in the case of the squid liver MAO, than of the rat liver MAO. A suggestion is put forward about the probable presence of several centers of substrate binding in the enzyme of the studied marine invertebrate, like in the mammalian enzyme. 相似文献

Complete solubilization of both the A and B forms of human brain monoamine oxidase (MAO) occurred when crude mitochondria were incubated in the presence of 50 mM octylglucoside (OG). Upon removal of this nonionic detergent by dialysis, approximately 100% of the starting activity was present in the dialysate. The effects of solubilization were examined by comparison of several properties of the membrane-bound and OG-treated oxidases. The percentage inhibition of phenylethylamine (PEA) and the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) deamination by deprenyl and clorgyline were identical. The Km values obtained for the deamination of PEA, a B-selective substrate, 5-HT, an A-selective substrate, and tyramine (TYR), a nonselective substrate, were also comparable. OG was found to inhibit type A (I50 = 8.1 mM) and B (I50 = 4.7 mM) MAO activities at concentrations at least 10-fold below those used to solubilize the oxidases. Kinetic studies revealed that OG was an apparent competitive inhibitor of PEA deamination whereas OG produced a mixed-type pattern of inhibition when 5-HT was the variable substrate. Inhibition of TYR deamination by either the A or B form of MAO produced a mixed pattern of inhibition. The findings herein suggest that solubilization of the A and B forms of MAO by OG does not significantly alter the substrate and inhibitor specificity of the oxidases following removal of detergent. However, in the presence of concentrations of OG 50 times less than the critical micellar concentration of this detergent, marked inhibition of deamination by both forms of human brain MAO is observed. Accordingly, the usefulness of OG is limited to situations where the detergent is completely removed before quantitation of MAO activity. 相似文献

β-Phenylethylamine (PEA) was characterized as substrate for both type A and type B monoamine oxidase (MAO) in rat brain mitochondria at different substrate concentrations and at different pHs of the reaction media. The experiments on sensitivity to clorygline and deprenyl showed that the inhibition patterns with PEA as substrate differed markedly at different substrate concentrations: at 10 μM, PEA acted as a specific substrate for type B MAO, but at 50–1000 μM it became a common substrate for both types of MAO. The inhibition patterns were also affected markedly by a small change in pH of the reaction medium, especially when PEA concentrations were 50 and 100 μM: the change in pH from 7.2 to 7.8 resulted in the incresse in the proportion of type A MAO by 20–30 per cent. To investigate the mechanisms of such changes in substrate specificity of PEA, kinetic analyses were carried out at pH 7.2 and 7.8 with the uninhibited, the clorgyline-treated (type B) and the deprenyl-treated (type A) enzyme. The Lineweaver-Burk plots for the uninhibited MAO showed strong substrate inhibition for both pHs, which is more marked at pH 7.8 than at pH 7.2. Pretreatment of the enzyme with 10?7 M clorgyline resulted in generally similar Km values for PEA to those of the uninhibited enzyme, and the substrate inhibition at pH 7.8 was also stronger than that at pH 7.2. After pretreatment with 10?7 M deprenyl, the Km values were higher and the Vmax values were lower than those of the uninhibited or the clorgyline-treated enzyme; there was no or only slight substrate inhibition in these curves. These results suggest that the remarkable changes in substrate specificity observed at different PEA concentrations and at different pHs may be due to the strong substrate inhibition of type B MAO. 相似文献

Polyamine oxidase was purified ca 168-fold from the acetone powder extract of millet shoots. The light yellow enzyme had maximum absorption at 278,380 and 460 nm. The absorption at 380 and 460 nm was decreased by the addition of spermidine. The enzyme (M, ca 80 000) showed a high specificity for spermine and spermidine (Kms 6 × 10−5 M and 5 × 10−7 M respectively). The enzyme was inhibited by quinacrine and acriflavine. 相似文献

We have found that arachidonic acid rapidly and selectively induces the release of lysosomal enzymes from cytochalasin B treated rabbit peritoneal neutrophils. 5, 8, 11, 14-eicosatetraynoic acid inhibits the arachidonate induced release with an apparent KD of 1.5 × 10?6M. 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (2.5 × 10?5M also inhibits the chemotactic factors and the A23187 induced release in the presence of cytochalasin B but does not affect the degranulation induced by A23187 alone. These observations strongly suggest a role for arachidonate metabolites in rabbit neutrophil physiology. 相似文献

Oxidation of β-Phenylethylamine by Both Types of Monoamine Oxidase: Examination of Enzymes in Brain and Liver Mitochondria of Eight Species 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1
Abstract: β-Phenylethylamine (PEA) was characterized as a substrate for type A and type B monoamine oxidase (MAO) in brain and liver mitochondria of eight species at different substrate concentrations. In all species, at 10.0 μM, PEA was almost specific for type B MAO. At 1000 μM, however, the amine was common for both types of MAO in rat brain and liver, human brain and liver, mouse brain, guinea pig brain and liver, and bovine brain, while it was specific for type B MAO in mouse liver, rabbit brain and liver, bovine liver, pig brain and liver, and chicken brain and liver. From the present study, when PEA is used as a type B substrate, it is recommended that the substrate concentration should be sufficiently low to avoid the effects of species and tissue differences. 相似文献

A new racemic pyrazoline derivative was synthesized and resolved to its enantiomers using analytic and semipreparative high‐pressure liquid chromatography. The absolute configuration of both fractions was established using vibrational circular dichroism. The in vitro monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitory profiles were evaluated for the racemate and both enantiomers separately for the two isoforms of the enzyme. The racemic compound and both enantiomers were found to inhibit hMAO‐A selectively and competitively. In particular, the R enantiomer was detected as an exceptionally potent and a selective MAO‐A inhibitor (Ki = 0.85 × 10?3 ± 0.05 × 10?3 μM and SI: 2.35 × 10?5), whereas S was determined as poorer compound than R in terms of Ki and SI (0.184 ± 0.007 and 0.001). The selectivity of the enantiomers was explained by molecular modeling docking studies based on the PDB enzymatic models of MAO isoforms. 相似文献

Several new 10-formyl and 10-hydroxymethyl derivatives of 5,8,10-trideazapteroic acid have been synthesized by a novel and convenient enamine alkylation procedure. Two of these compounds (10a and 10b) were shown to be very powerful inhibitors of L. casei (10a, IC50 = 8 × 10−6 M ; 10b, IC50 = 7 × 10−6 M ) and recombinant mouse (10a, IC50 = 3.4 × 10−5 M ; 10b, IC50 = 2.8 × 10−5 M ) glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). These IC50 values are comparable to the classical GARFT inhibitor (6R)-DDATHF (IC50, L. casei 2.3 × 10−6M ; recombinant mouse 2.3 × 10−5 M ) under identical assay conditions. For both compounds, the inhibition of L. casei GARFT increased with time of incubation, but not markedly with the recombinant mouse enzyme. Due to their potential ability to interfere with purine biosynthesis and to penetrate microbial cells the new nonclassical GARFT inhibitors reported here may be useful for the treatment of infections caused by microorganisms that are sensitive and resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents. 相似文献

Although the alpha-adrenergic antagonist phentolamine potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of intact animals, it either does not alter, or it inhibits in vitro insulin secretion. This may be because in the higher concentration used in in vitro studies, phentolamine exerts a second pharmacological effect that counterbalances its primary effect of blocking monoamine action. We recently demonstrated that pancreatic islets contain substantial amounts of monoamine oxidase (MAO), and that MAO inhibitors such as iproniazid and tranylcypromine can alter insulin secretion. In the present study, we determined if other drugs that affect insulin secretion, alter the MAO activity of homogenates of rabbit pancreatic islets (collagenase technique) or liver. Phentolamine, phenoxybenzamine and propranolol (10 muM and 100 muM) inhibit islet and hepatic MAO. Haloperidol (10muM) inhibits hepatic but not islet MAO, while haloperidol (10muM) does not inhibit MAO in either tissue. Ethanol (270 to 2.7mM) inhibits islet MAO. Hepatic MAO is inhibited by high (270 to 180mM) but not by low (27 to 2.7mM) concentrations of ethanol. Collagenase digestion does not increase the sensitivity of islet and liver MAO to inhibition by phentolamine or ethanol. In the absence of added monoamines, phentolamine and phenoxybenzamine do not alter basal or glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from rabbit pancreas. Preincubation of rabbit pancreas with the serotonin precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) increases the beta cell serotonin content and inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Alpha adrenergic antagonists not only fail to block, but actually potentiate the serotonin inhibition of insulin secretion. We conclude that inhibition of islet MAO may cause an increase in islet monoamine content and these monoamines may alter in vitro insulin secretion. One mechanism through which adrenergic antagonists and ethanol modify in vitro insulin secretion may be by inhibiting pancreatic islet MAO. 相似文献

CGP 6085 A [4-(5,6-dimethyl-2-benzofuranyl)piperidine] HCl, a known serotonin inhibitor, also inhibits rat brainstem monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) and monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Serotonin (5-HT) deamination by MAO-A is inhibited 35% at a dose of 100 mg/kg i.p. in vivo. Similar experiments show a maximal 20% decrease in phenylethylamine (PEA) deamination by MAO-B at a dosage of 30 mg/kg i.p. Over the range of 0.1 to 10 mg/kg i.p., CGP 6085 A decreases 5-HIAA levels in the brainstem. This in vivo inhibition of MAO activity is confirmed by in vitro experiments. In vitro studies in rat brainstem mitochondrial preparations show a dose-dependent, reversible, inhibition of MAO using tyramine as the substrate for the enzyme reaction. With an in vitro IC50 of 2-3 microM, the potency of CGP 6085 A is comparable to pargyline. 相似文献

Based on the data of substrate-inhibitor analysis with the use of specific inhibitors-deprenyl, chlorgilin, and specific substrates-serotonin, noradrenalin, benzylamine, β-phenylethylamine and N-methylhistamine, one molecular form of monoamine oxidase (MAO) was suggested to possibly exist in liver of mature individuals of the European lamprey Lampetra fluviatilis. The kinetic parameters of monoamine oxidase deamination of eight substrates were determined, which indicates the large spectrum of substrate specificity of MAO from the lamprey liver. The studied enzyme does not deaminate histamine and putrescine and is not sensitive to 10?2 M semicarbaside. Results of the study of the substrate-inhibitor specificity allow us to suggest some resemblance in catalytic properties of the lamprey liver MAO and the mammalian MAO of the form A. The low activity of the enzyme revealed at deamination of all used substrates seems to be associated with low detoxifying function of the lamprey liver. 相似文献

The goal of this work consisted in substrate and inhibitor specificity of liver monoamine oxidase (MAO) of the freshwater Ladoga subspecies of the ringed seal Phoca hispida ladogensis. The studied enzyme has been found to have the large substrate specificity by deaminating, apart from eight classic substrates of the terrestrial mammalian MAO, also histamine, the substrate of diamino oxidase. It has been revealed that the studied enzyme realizes wide substrate specificity by deaminating, apart from eight classic MAO substrates of terrestrial mammals, also histamine, the substrate of diamino oxidase. The deamination rates of benzylamine, β-phenylethylamine, and N-methylhistamine are found to be almost by one order higher than the deamination rates of serotonin and noradrenaline. The seal liver MAO did not deaminate putrescine and cadaverine and was insensitive to 10?2 M semicarbaside. There were calculated bimolecular rate constants of interaction of inhibitors: chlorgyline, deprenyl, berberine, sanguinarine, chelidonine, and four derivatives of acridine with the enzyme at deamination of nine substrates. By the method of substrate-inhibitor analysis we have shown heterogeneity of the enzyme, i.e., the presence in the seal liver of at least of two different MAO. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. In correlating mitochondrial structure with composition and function of the electron-transport system in Crithidia fasciculata, failure to find cytochrome oxidase in isolated mitochondria coincided with the presence of longitudinally-oriented lamellar cristae in the mitochondria in intact cells. Cytochromes b and c were detected spectrophotometrically. Respiration of intact cells and mitochondria, measured polarographically, was sensitive to 10−4 M antimycin A and 5 × 10−4 M KCN. The difficulty in detecting cytochrome oxidase and the biogenesis of mitochondria are briefly discussed. 相似文献
