Whereas sitosterol and 24(28)-methylene cycloartanol were competitive inhibitors (with Ki = 26 microM and 14 microM, respectively), 24(R,S)-25-epiminolanosterol was found to be a potent non-competitive inhibitor (Ki = 3.0 nM) of the S-adenosyl-L-methionine-C-24 methyl transferase from sunflower embryos. Because the ground state analog, 24(R,S)-oxidolanosterol, failed to inhibit the catalysis and 25-azalanosterol inhibited the catalysis with a Ki of 30 nM we conclude that the aziridine functions in a manner similar to the azasteriod (Rahier, A., et al., J. Biol. Chem. (1984) 259, 15215) as a transition state analog mimicking the carbonium intermediate found in the normal transmethylation reaction. Additionally, we observed that the aziridine inhibited cycloartenol metabolism (the preferred substrate for transmethylation) in cultured sunflower cells and cell growth. 相似文献

Concentrations of volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSC) were measured in water and sediment columns of ditches in a minerotrophic peatland in The Netherlands. VOSC, with methanethiol (4 to 40 nM) as the major compound, appeared to be mainly of sediment origin. Both VOSC and hydrogen sulfide concentrations decreased dramatically towards the water surface. High methanethiol and high dimethyl sulfide concentrations in the sediment and just above the sediment surface coincided with high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (correlation factors, r = 0.91 and r = 0.81, respectively). Production and degradation of VOSC were studied in 32 sediment slurries collected from various freshwater systems in The Netherlands. Maximal endogenous methanethiol production rates of the sediments tested (up to 1.44 (mu)mol per liter of sediment slurry (middot) day(sup-1)) were determined after inhibition of methanogenic and sulfate-reducing populations in order to stop VOSC degradation. These experiments showed that the production and degradation of VOSC in sediments are well balanced. Statistical analysis revealed multiple relationships of methanethiol production rates with the combination of methane production rates (indicative of total anaerobic mineralization) and hydrogen sulfide concentrations (r = 0.90) or with the combination of methane production rates and the sulfate/iron ratios in the sediment (r = 0.82). These findings and the observed stimulation of methanethiol formation in sediment slurry incubations in which the hydrogen sulfide concentrations were artificially increased provided strong evidence that the anaerobic methylation of hydrogen sulfide is the main mechanism for VOSC formation in most freshwater systems. Methoxylated aromatic compounds are likely a major source of methyl groups for this methylation of hydrogen sulfide, since they are important degradation products of the abundant biopolymer lignin. Increased sulfate concentrations in several freshwater ecosystems caused by the inflow of water from the river Rhine into these systems result in higher hydrogen sulfide concentrations. As a consequence, higher fluxes of VOSC towards the atmosphere are conceivable. 相似文献

New benzimidazole-4-carboxamides 1-16 and -carboxylates 17-26 were synthesized and evaluated for binding affinity at serotonergic 5-HT4 and 5-HT3 receptors in the CNS. Most of the synthesized compounds exhibited moderate-to-very high affinity (in many cases subnanomolar) for the 5-HT4 binding site and no significant affinity for the 5-HT3 receptor. SAR observations and structural analyses (molecular modeling, INSIGHT II) indicated that the presence of a voluminous substituent in the basic nitrogen atom of the amino moiety and a distance of ca. 8.0 A from this nitrogen to the aromatic ring are of great importance for high affinity and selectivity for 5-HT4 receptors. These results confirm our recently proposed model for recognition by the 5-HT4 binding site. Amides 12-15 and esters 24 and 25 bound at central 5-HT4 sites with very high affinity (Ki = 0.11-2.9 nM) and excellent selectivity over serotonin 5-HT3, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT1A receptors (Ki > 1000-10,000 nM). Analogues 12 (Ki(5-HT4) = 0.32 nM), 13 (Ki(5-HT4) = 0.11 nM), 14 (Ki(5-HT4) = 0.29 nM) and 15 (Ki(5-HT4) = 0.54 nM) were pharmacologically characterized as selective 5-HT4 antagonists in the isolated guinea pig ileum (pA2 = 7.6, 7.9, 8.2 and 7.9, respectively), with a potency comparable to the 5-HT4 receptor antagonist RS 39604 (pA2 = 8.2). The benzimidazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives described in this paper represent a novel class of potent and selective 5-HT4 receptor antagonists. In particular, compounds 12-15 could be interesting pharmacological tools for the understanding of the role of 5-HT4 receptors. 相似文献

Unexpectedly high affinity for opioid receptors has been observed for a novel series of cyclazocine analogues where the prototypic 8-OH was replaced by a carboxamido group. For mu and kappa opioid receptors, the primary carboxamido derivative of cyclazocine ((+/-)-15) displayed high affinity (Ki=0.41 and 0.53 nM, respectively) nearly comparable to cyclazocine. A high enantiopreference ((2R,6R,11R)-) for binding was also observed. Compound (+/-)-15 also displayed potent antinociception activity in mice when administered icv. 相似文献

In the present investigation the interaction of a novel selective NMDA receptors agonist, N-phthalamoyl-L-glutamic acid (PhGA), with the synaptic membranes preparation of human hippocampus was examined against NMDA. It was established that there are two binding sites of 3H-L-Glu, Kd1 = 0.35 +/- 0.11 nM, Bmax1 = 6.5 +/- 2.3 pmol/mg and Kd2 = 51 +/- 12 nM, Bmax2 = 98 +/- 17 pmol/mg. The inhibition constants (Ki) were calculated for NMDA and PhGA and were equal: Ki(NMDA) = 19 microM, Ki (PhGA) = 13 microM, respectively. It was concluded that PhGA is the partial agonist of the NMDA receptors. 相似文献

Human beta-MSH(1-22) was first isolated from human pituitary as a 22-amino acid (aa) peptide derived from a precursor protein, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). However, Bertagna et al. demonstrated that a shorter human beta-MSH(5-22), (DEGPYRMEHFRWGSPPKD), is a true endogenous peptide produced in human hypothalamus. In this report, we demonstrated that in vitro enzymatic cleavage of native human beta-MSH(5-22) with two ubiquitous dipeptidyl peptidases (DPP), DPP-I and DPP-IV, generated two potent MC3/4R peptide analogues, beta-MSH(7-22) (GPYRMEHFRWGSPPKD) and beta-MSH(9-22) (YRMEHFRWGSPPKD). In fact, the MC4R binding affinity and functional potency of beta-MSH(7-22) (Ki=4.6 nM, EC50=0.6 nM) and beta-MSH(9-22) (Ki=5.7 nM, EC50=0.6 nM) are almost an order of magnitude greater than those of their parent peptide, beta-MSH(5-22) (MC4R, Ki=23 nM, EC50= 3nM). Furthermore, the DPP-I/DPP-IV cleaved peptide, beta-MSH(9-22), when administered intracerebroventricularly (ICV) at a dose of 3 nmol/rat, potently induced an acute negative energy balance in a diet-induced obese rat model, while its parent molecule, beta-MSH(5-22), administered at the same dose did not have any effect. These data suggest that DPP-I and DPP-IV may play a role in converting the endogenous beta-MSH(5-22) to more potent peptides that regulate energy homeostasis in the hypothalamus. 相似文献

The presence of histamine H(3) receptors was evaluated on the rat aorta endothelium. In the presence of pyrilamine (1 nM, 7 nM, 10 nM) or thioperamide (1 nM, 10 nM, 30 nM) the concentration-response curve for histamine-induced (0.1 nM - 0.01 mM) endothelium-dependent rat aorta relaxation was shifted to the right without significant change of the E(max) indicating competitive antagonism by pyrilamine (pA(2) = 9.33 +/- 0.34, slope = 1.09 +/- 0.36) or thioperamide (pA(2) =9.31 +/- 0.16, slope=0.94 +/- 0.10). Cimetidine (1 muM) did not influence histamine-induced endothelium-dependent rat aorta relaxation. In the presence of thioperamide (1 nM, 10 nM, 30 nM) the concentration-response curve for (R)alpha-MeHA-induced (0.1 nM - 0.01 mM) endothelium-dependent relaxation was shifted to the right without significant change of E(max) indicated competitive antagonism by thioperamide (pA(2) = 9.21 +/- 0.4, slope = 1.03 +/- 0.35). Pyrilamine (100 nM) or cimetidine (1 muM) did not influence (R)alpha-MeHA-induced endothelium-dependent rat aorta relaxation. These results suggest the presence of a heterogenous population of histamine receptors, H(1) and H(3), on rat aorta endothelium. 相似文献

alpha-Amylase 2 (AMY2) and alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (BASI) from barley bind with Ki = 0.22 nM. AMY2 is a (beta/alpha)8-barrel enzyme and the segment Leu116-Phe143 in domain B (Val89-Ile152), protruding at beta-strand 3 of the (beta/alpha)8-barrel, was shown using isozyme hybrids to be crucial for the specificity of the inhibitor for AMY2. In the AMY2-BASI crystal structure [F. Vallée, A. Kadziola, Y. Bourne, M. Juy, K. W. Rodenburg, B. Svensson & R. Haser (1998) Structure 6, 649-659] Arg128AMY2 forms a hydrogen bond with Ser77BASI, while Asp142AMY2 makes a salt-bridge with Lys140BASI. These two enzyme residues are substituted by glutamine and asparagine, respectively, to assess their contribution in binding of the inhibitor. These mutations were performed in the well-expressed, inhibitor-sensitive hybrid barley alpha-amylase 1 (AMY1)-(1-90)/AMY2-(90-403) with Ki = 0.33 nM, because of poor production of AMY2 in yeast. In addition Arg128, only found in AMY2, was introduced into an AMY1 context by the mutation T129R/K130P in the inhibitor-insensitive hybrid AMY1-(1-161)/AMY2-(161-403). The binding energy was reduced by 2.7-3.0 kcal.mol-1 as determined from Ki after the mutations R128Q and D142N. This corresponds to loss of a charged interaction between the protein molecules. In contrast, sensitivity to the inhibitor was gained (Ki = 7 microM) by the mutation T129R/K130P in the insensitive isozyme hybrid. Charge screening raised Ki 14-20-fold for this latter mutant, AMY2, and the sensitive isozyme hybrid, but only twofold for the R128Q and D142N mutants. Thus electrostatic stabilization was effectively introduced and lost in the different mutant enzyme-inhibitor complexes and rational engineering using an inhibitor recognition motif to confer binding to the inhibitor mimicking the natural AMY2-BASI complex. 相似文献

A new class of 4-acetamidopiperidine derivatives has been synthesized and investigated for human muscarinic receptor subtype selectivity. Introduction of a hydrocarbon chain of appropriate length into the piperidine nitrogen of the racemic N-(piperidin-4-yl)-2-cyclobutyl-2-hydroxy-2-phenylacetamide platform conferred up to 70-fold selectivity for human muscarinic M3 receptors over M2 receptors. Subsequent synthetic derivatizations resulted in highly potent M3 receptor antagonists with selectivity greater than two orders of magnitude for M3 over M2 receptors, from which the analogue 4r was selected. Preparation of both enantiomers of 4r led to the identification of (2R)-N-[1-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)piperidin-4-yl]-2-cyclopentyl-2-hyd roxy-2-phenylacetamide (J-104129, (R)-4r), which exhibited 120-fold selectivity for M3 receptors (Ki = 4.2 nM) over M2 receptors (Ki = 490 nM). In isolated rat trachea, (R)-4r potently and specifically antagonized acetylcholine (ACh)-induced responses with a K(B) value of 3.3 nM. The highly subtype-selective profile was also seen in isolated rat tissue assays (50-fold) and in anesthetized rats (> 250-fold). Oral administration of J-104129 ((R)-4r) antagonized ACh-induced bronchoconstriction with an ED50 value of 0.58 mg/kg in rats. Thus, J-104129 ((R)-4r) may effectively facilitate bronchodilation in the treatment of obstructive airway disease. 相似文献

The synthesis and pharmacology of 15 1-deoxy-delta8-THC analogues, several of which have high affinity for the CB2 receptor, are described. The deoxy cannabinoids include 1-deoxy-11-hydroxy-delta8-THC (5), 1-deoxy-delta8-THC (6), 1-deoxy-3-butyl-delta8-THC (7), 1-deoxy-3-hexyl-delta8-THC (8) and a series of 3-(1',1'-dimethylalkyl)-1-deoxy-delta8-THC analogues (2, n = 0-4, 6, 7, where n = the number of carbon atoms in the side chain-2). Three derivatives (17-19) of deoxynabilone (16) were also prepared. The affinities of each compound for the CB1 and CB2 receptors were determined employing previously described procedures. Five of the 3-(1',1'-dimethylalkyl)-1-deoxy-delta8-THC analogues (2, n = 1-5) have high affinity (Ki = < 20 nM) for the CB2 receptor. Four of them (2, n = 1-4) also have little affinity for the CB1 receptor (Ki = > 295 nM). 3-(1',1'-Dimethylbutyl)-1-deoxy-delta8-THC (2, n = 2) has very high affinity for the CB2 receptor (Ki = 3.4 +/- 1.0 nM) and little affinity for the CB1 receptor (Ki = 677 +/- 132 nM). 相似文献

Position 18 in a parathyroid hormone (PTH) antagonist, [Nle8,18,Tyr34]bPTH(7-34)NH2 (ii), was shown to tolerate substitutions by a range of amino acids with retention of inhibitory activity. The effects of hydrophobic substitutions at this position as a means of enhancing binding interactions with the receptor were evaluated. Substitution of Nle at position 18 with either D-Ala, D-Trp, or L-Trp in analog ii or with Trp (D or L) in the recently reported, highly potent antagonist, [Nle8,18,D-Trp12,Tyr34]bPTH(7-34)NH2 (in vitro activities; Kb = 15 nM and Ki = 125 nM), was performed. In terms of activity on renal receptors, one antagonist, [Nle8,D-Trp12,18,Tyr34]bPTH(7-34)NH2, is the most active in vitro PTH antagonist yet reported (Kb = 4 nM; Ki = 30 nM). The rationale for design of this antagonist and the conclusions regarding PTH-receptor interactions are discussed. 相似文献

We investigated the binding characteristics of a (+)-enantiomer of radioiodinated 2-[4-(4-iodophenyl)piperidino]cyclohexanol [(+)-[125I]pIV], radioiodinated at the para-position of the 4-phenylpiperidine moiety, to sigma receptors (sigma-1, sigma-2) and to vesicular acetylcholine transporters (VAChT) in membranes of the rat brain and liver. In competitive inhibition studies, (+)-pIV (Ki=1.30 nM) had more than 10 times higher affinity to the sigma-1 (sigma-1) receptor than (+)-pentazocine (Ki=19.9 nM) or haloperidol (Ki=13.5 nM) known as sigma ligands. Also, the binding affinity of (+)-pIV for the sigma-1 receptor (Ki=1.30 nM), was about 16 times higher than the sigma-2 (sigma-2) receptor (Ki=20.4 nM). (+)-pIV (Ki=1260 nM) had a much lower affinity for VAChT than (-)-vesamicol (Ki=13.0 nM) or (-)-pIV (Ki=412 nM). (+)-[125I]pIV had low affinity for the dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, and acetylcholine receptors. Furthermore, in a saturation binding study, (+)-[125I]pIV exhibited a K) of 6.96 nM with a Bmax of 799 fmol/mg of protein. These results showed that (+)-pIV binds to the sigma-1 receptor with greater affinity than sigma receptor ligands such as (+)-pentazocine or haloperidol, and that radioiodinated (+)-pIV is suitable as radiotracer for sigma-1 receptor studies in vitro. 相似文献

The activity of three angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors with unique related structures was assessed in vitro and in vivo. The three compounds were (S)(-)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)-3-isoquinoline carboxylic acid (EU-4865), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)-1- isoquinolinecarboxylic acid (EU-4881), and (S)(-)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-(3-mercapto-1-oxopropyl)-2- quinolinecarboxylic acid (EU-5031). In vitro EU-4881 was a competitive inhibitor that lacked potency (IC50 = 1980 nM) against purified ACE. The other two compounds were equipotent (IC50 = 41 nM) against purified ACE but differed in their inhibition kinetics. EU-4865 (Ki = 38 nM) was a noncompetitive inhibitor, and EU-5031 (Ki = 6.9 nM) was a competitive inhibitor. Against caveolae membrane-bound ACE EU-4881 also lacked potency (IC50 = 2852 nM). In vivo in the conscious acute aortic coarctate (AAC) rat it also lacked potency, having an ED30 (oral dose decreasing blood pressure 30 mmHg) greater than 100 mg/kg. The activity of EU-4865 and EU-5031 in the caveolae membrane-bound ACE and AAC rat reflected their different Ki values rather than their similar IC50 values. In vitro, EU-4865 and EU-5031 had IC50 values of 19 and 6.7 nM, respectively, and in vivo, they had ED30 values of 52 and 1.1 mg/kg, respectively. These results suggest that ACE has a binding requirement for a carboxy-terminus, hydrophobic amino acid that is important for in vivo activity. 相似文献

Structure-activity studies around the 4-position of 2-anilinopyrimidine corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) antagonists suggest that there is a large lipophilic cavity in the rat CRF receptor, which can accommodate a wide variety of substituents at this position in contrast to the steric constraints observed for other positions on the 2-anilinopyrimidine core. The chemical syntheses and biological activities of 2-anilinopyrimidine CRF antagonists with carbon-linked substituents at the 4-position are reported. Significant improvements in rat pharmacokinetic parameters were achieved relative to those for the lead structure. While the lead compound 1 (rCRF Ki = 44 nM) afforded no detectable rat plasma levels after intraperitoneal (i.p.) or oral (p.o.) dosing, compounds 3-3 (rCRF Ki = 16 nM) and 3-4 (rCRF Ki 59 nM) gave high rat plasma levels at 30 mg/kg (i.p., p.o.) (Cmax = 1389 nM and 8581 nM (i.p.) respectively; Cmax = 113 nM and 988 nM (p.o.), respectively). Furthermore 3-3 and 3-4 had superior bioavailabilities at these doses (59 and 46% (i.p.), respectively; 2 and 10%, (p.o.), respectively). 相似文献

A library of halogenated 2-arylindolyl-3-oxocarboxamides was prepared to develop radioligands to visualize cerebral PBR by SPECT and PET imaging. In vitro evaluation showed that most of the synthesized compounds were selective,high-affinity PBR ligands with adequate lipophilicity (log D7.4 in the range of 1.6-2.4). The iodinated derivative 11 (Ki = 2.6 nM) and the fluorinated analog 26 (Ki = 6.2 nM) displayed higher affinity than reference compounds. 相似文献

Development of a novel process for the biological conversion of H2S and methanethiol to elemental sulfur 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The feasibility of anaerobic treatment of wastewater containing methanethiol (MT), an extremely volatile and malodorous sulfur compound, was investigated in lab-scale bioreactors. Inoculum biomass originating from full-scale anaerobic wastewater treatment facilities was used. Several sludges, tested for their ability to degrade MT, revealed the presence of organisms capable of metabolizing MT as their sole source of energy. Furthermore, batch tests were executed to gain a better understanding of the inhibition potential of MT. It was found that increasing MT concentrations affected acetotrophic organisms more dramatically than methylotrophic organisms. Continuous reactor experiments, using two lab-scale upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors (R1 and R2), aimed to determine the maximal MT load and the effect of elevated sulfide concentrations on MT conversion. Both reactors were operated at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of about 7 hours, a temperature of 30 degrees C, and a pH of between 7.3 and 7.6. At the highest influent MT concentration applied, 14 mM in R1, corresponding to a volumetric loading rate of about 50 mM MT per day, 87% of the organic sulfur was recovered as hydrogen sulfide (12.2 mM) and the remainder as volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs). Upon decreasing the HRT to 3.5 to 4.0 h at a constant MT loading rate, the sulfide concentration in the reactor decreased to 8 mM and MT conversion efficiency increased to values near 100%. MT conversion was apparently inhibited by the high sulfide concentrations in the reactor. The specific MT degradation rate, as determined after 120 days of operation in R1, was 2.83 +/- 0.27 mmol MT g VSS(-1) day(-1). During biological desulfurization of liquid hydrocarbon phases, such as with liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), the combined removal of hydrogen sulfide and MT is desired. In R2, the simultaneous addition of sodium sulfide and MT was therefore studied and the effect of elevated sulfide concentrations was investigated. The addition of sodium sulfide resulted in enhanced disintegration of sludge granules, causing significant washout of biomass. Additional acetate, added to stimulate growth of methanogenic bacteria to promote granulation, was hardly converted at the termination of the experimental period. 相似文献

We synthesized methylvesamicol analogs 13-16 and investigated the binding characteristics of 2-[4-phenylpiperidino]cyclohexanol (vesamicol) and methylvesamicol analogs 13-16, with a methyl group introduced into the 4-phenylpiperidine moiety, to sigma receptors (sigma-1, sigma-2) and to vesicular acetylcholine transporters (VAChT) in membranes of the rat brain and liver. In competitive inhibition studies, (-)-o-methylvesamicol [(-)-OMV] (13) (Ki=6.7 nM), as well as (-)-vesamicol (Ki=4.4 nM), had a high affinity for VAChT. (+)-p-Methylvesamicol [(+)-PMV] (16) (Ki=3.0 nM), as well as SA4503 (Ki=4.4 nM), reported as a sigma-1 mapping agent for positron emission tomography (PET), had a high affinity for the sigma-1 receptor. The binding affinity of (+)-PMV (16) for the sigma-1 receptor (Ki=3.0 nM) was about 13 times higher than that for the sigma-2 (sigma-2) receptor (Ki=40.7 nM). (+)-PMV (16) (Ki=199 nM) had a much lower affinity for VAChT than SA4503 (Ki=50.2 nM) and haloperidol (Ki=41.4 nM). These results showed that the binding characteristics of (-)-OMV (13) to VAChT were similar to those of (-)-vesamicol and that (+)-PMV (16) bound to the sigma-1 receptor with high affinity. In conclusion, (-)-OMV (13) and (+)-PMV (16), which had a suitable structure, with a methyl group for labeling with 11C, may become not only a new VAChT ligand and a new type of sigma receptor ligand, respectively, but may also become a new target compound of VAChT and the sigma-1 receptor radioligand for PET, respectively. 相似文献

Comparative investigation of of smooth muscle actomyosine ATP-ase sensitivity to some inhibitors of energy-dependent Ca(2+)-transporting systems has been carried out. It is proved that the ATP-ase of actomyosine is nonselectively inhibited by thapsigargin (imaginary inhibition constant Ki is equal 29.4 +/- 5.2 nM), cyclopiazonic acid (Ki = 626 +/- 118 nM), eosin Y (Ki = 70 +/- 14 nM) and p-chlormercurybenzoate (Ki = 380 +/- 151 nM). The data obtained could be used for the further development of the ideas about regularities of Ca(2+)-dependent control of the smooth muscles contraction-relaxation. 相似文献

Leukotriene C4 binding to rat lung membranes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
A high affinity binding site for leukotriene C4 (LTC4), one component of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis, has been identified in a membrane preparation from rat lung. As measured by a filtration technique, [3H]LTC4 binding was saturable, specific, reversible, and heat-sensitive. In the presence of 20 mM CaCl2, the dissociation constant (KD) was 41 +/- 9 nM and the maximum number of binding sites (Bmax) was 31 +/- 10 pmol/mg of protein. Specificity was demonstrated by competition studies in which LTC4 had a Ki of 40 nM against specifically bound [3H]LTC4, whereas leukotriene D4 (LTD4) had a Ki of 4 microM. The stereoisomers (5R, 6R) LTC4, (5S, 6S) LTC4, and (5R, 6S) LTC4 had Ki values 3-, 15-, and 25-fold higher than that of natural (5S, 6R) LTC4. Leukotrienes E4 and B4, several prostaglandins and fatty acids, glutathione, and platelet activating factor were even less effective with Ki values above 10 microM. A slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis antagonist, FPL 55712, which, in some systems, distinguishes LTC4- from LTD4-induced contractions, was a weak competitor with a Ki of 16 microM. Serine-borate complex which inhibits gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, an enzyme responsible for LTC4 metabolism, did not alter binding. In addition, 100 microM FPL 55712 did not reduce metabolism. These observations suggest that the binding observed for LTC4 may represent association with a physiological receptor for this molecule which has a relatively low affinity for LTD4. 相似文献

A novel series of cyclobutenedione centered C(4)-alkyl substituted furanyl analogs was developed as potent CXCR2 and CXCR1 antagonists. Compound 16 exhibits potent inhibitory activities against IL-8 binding to the receptors (CXCR2 Ki=1 nM, IC(50)=1.3 nM; CXCR1 Ki=3 nM, IC(50)=7.3 nM), and demonstrates potent inhibition against both Gro-alpha and IL-8 induced hPMN migration (chemotaxis: CXCR2 IC(50)=0.5 nM, CXCR1 IC(50)=37 nM). In addition, 16 has shown good oral pharmacokinetic profiles in rat, mouse, monkey, and dog. 相似文献
