Bambuterol is a chiral carbamate and a selective inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, EC 3.1.1.8). In order to relate bambuterol selectivity and stereoselectivity of BChE and acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) of different species, we studied the inhibition of human, mouse, and horse BChE, as well as AChE of human and mouse by (R)- and (S)-bambuterol. AChE and BChE of all studied species were progressively inhibited by both bambuterol enantiomers, with a preference for the (R)-bambuterol whose inhibition rate constants were about five times higher than that of (S)-bambuterol. We observed no significant difference between human and mouse in bambuterol enantiomer BChE inhibition. However, (R)-bambuterol inhibited horse BChE about 14 times slower than human and mouse BChE, and the inhibition rate for (S)-bambuterol was about 18 times slower. Although the primary structure of horse BChE differs from the other two species in 15 amino acids, we presumed that differences in inhibition rates could be attributed to threonine at position 69 located close to the peripheral site of BChE. Since BChE inhibition by bambuterol enantiomers was at least 8000 times faster than that of AChE, both bambuterol enantiomers proved to be selective BChE inhibitors, as was previously shown for racemate. 相似文献

Stereoselective inhibition of dopaminergic activity by gamma vinyl-GABA following a nicotine or cocaine challenge: a PET/microdialysis study 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Elevation of endogenous GABA by the racemic mixture of gamma vinyl-GABA (GVG, Vigabatrin) decreases extracellular nucleus accumbens (NAc) dopamine (DA) levels and diminishes the response to many drugs of abuse known to elevate DA in the mesocorticolimbic system. We investigated the effects of the individual enantiomers (S(+)-GVG, R(-)-GVG) on cocaine-induced NAc DA in rodents as well as the effects of nicotine-induced increases in primates. In a series of microdialysis experiments in freely moving animals, S(+)-GVG (150 mg/kg), R(-)-GVG (150 mg/kg) or racemic (R, S) GVG (300 mg/kg) was administered 2.5 hours prior to cocaine (20 mg/kg) administration. When compared with cocaine alone, the R(-) enantiomer did not significantly inhibit cocaine induced NAc DA release. S(+)-GVG, at half the dose of the racemic mixture (150 mg/kg), inhibited cocaine-induced DA elevation by 40%, while the racemic mixture (300 mg/kg) inhibited cocaine-induced DA release by 31%. In addition, our PET studies in primates demonstrated that S(+)-GVG completely inhibits nicotine-induced increases in the corpus striatum, again at half the dose of the racemic mixture. The R(-) enantiomer was ineffective. Although the S(+) enantiomer has been well established as the active compound in the treatment of epilepsy, the efficacy of this enantiomer with regard to mesolimbic DA inhibition generates a complex series of clinical and neurochemical issues. Further investigations will determine the locus of action and physiologic properties of each enantiomer. 相似文献

The origins of human acetylcholinesterase (HuAChE) reactivity toward the lethal chemical warfare agent O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate (VX) and its stereoselectivity toward the P(S)-VX enantiomer (VX(S)) were investigated by examining the reactivity of HuAChE and its mutant derivatives toward purified enantiomers of VX and its noncharged isostere O-ethyl S-(3-isopropyl-4-methylpentyl) methylphosphonothioate (nc-VX) as well as echothiophate and its noncharged analogue. Reactivity of wild-type HuAChE toward VX(S) was 115-fold higher than that toward VX(R), with bimolecular rate constants of 1.4 x 10(8) and 1.2 x 10(6) min(-1) M(-1). HuAChE was also 12500-fold more reactive toward VX(S) than toward nc-VX(S). Substitution of the cation binding subsite residue Trp86 with alanine resulted in a 3 order of magnitude decrease in HuAChE reactivity toward both VX enantiomers, while this replacement had an only marginal effect on the reactivity toward the enantiomers of nc-VX and the noncharged echothiophate. These results attest to the critical role played by Trp86 in accommodating the charged moieties of both VX enantiomers. A marked decrease in stereoselectivity toward VX(S) was observed following replacements of Phe295 at the acyl pocket (F295A and F295A/F297A). Replacement of the peripheral anionic site (PAS) residue Asp74 with asparagine (D74N) practically abolished stereoselectivity toward VX(S) (130-fold decrease), while a substitution which retains the negative charge at position 74 (D74E) had no effect. The results from kinetic studies and molecular simulations suggest that the differential reactivity toward the VX enantiomers is mainly a result of a different interaction of the charged leaving group with Asp74. 相似文献

Abstract The series of symmetrical and unsymmetrical isoquinolinium-5-carbaldoximes was designed and prepared for cholinesterase reactivation purposes. The novel compounds were evaluated for intrinsic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) or butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibition, when the majority of novel compounds resulted with high inhibition of both enzymes and only weak inhibitors were selected for reactivation experiments on human AChE or BChE inhibited by sarin, VX, or paraoxon. The AChE reactivation for all used organophosphates was found negligible if compared to the reactivation ability of obidoxime. Importantly, two compounds were found to reactivate BChE inhibited by sarin or VX better to obidoxime at human attainable concentration. One compound resulted as better reactivator of NEMP (VX surrogate)-inhibited BChE than obidoxime. The in vitro results were further rationalized by molecular docking studies showing future directions on designing potent BChE reactivators. 相似文献

cis-Chlorobenzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase (CDD) from Pseudomonas sp. strain P51, cloned into Escherichia coli DH5alpha(pTCB149) was able to oxidize cis-dihydrodihydroxy derivatives (cis-dihydrodiols) of dihydronaphthalene, indene, and four para-substituted toluenes to the corresponding catechols. During the incubation of a nonracemic mixture of cis-1,2-indandiol, only the (+)-cis-(1R,2S) enantiomer was oxidized; the (-)-cis-(S,2R) enantiomer remained unchanged. CDD oxidized both enantiomers of cis-1,2-dihydroxy-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalene, but oxidation of the (+)-cis-(1S,2R) enantiomer was delayed until the (-)-cis-(1R,2S) enantiomer was completely depleted. When incubated with nonracemic mixtures of para-substituted cis-toluene dihydrodiols, CDD always oxidized the major enantiomer at a higher rate than the minor enantiomer. When incubated with racemic 1-indanol, CDD enantioselectively transformed the (+)-(1S) enantiomer to 1-indanone. This stereoselective transformation shows that CDD also acted as an alcohol dehydrogenase. Additionally, CDD was able to oxidize (+)-cis-(1R,2S)-dihydroxy-1, 2-dihydronaphthalene, (+)-cis-monochlorobiphenyl dihydrodiols, and (+)-cis-toluene dihydrodiol to the corresponding catechols. 相似文献

Whether proteins or lipids are the primary target sites for general anesthetic action has engendered considerable debate. Recent in vivo studies have shown that the S(+) and R(-) enantiomers of isoflurane are not equipotent, implying involvement of proteins. Bovine serum albumin (BSA), a soluble protein devoid of lipid, contains specific binding sites for isoflurane and other anesthetics. We therefore conducted 19F nuclear magnetic resonance measurements to determine whether binding of isoflurane to BSA was stereoselective. Isoflurane chemical shifts were measured as a function of BSA concentration to determine the chemical shift differences between the free and bound isoflurane. KD was determined by measuring the 19F transverse relaxation times (T2) as a function of isoflurane concentration. The binding duration was determined by assessing increases in 1/T2 as a result of isoflurane exchanging between the free and bound states. The S(+) and R(-) enantiomers exhibited no stereoselectivity in chemical shifts and KD values (KD = 1.3 +/- 0.2 mM, mean +/- SE, for S(+), R(-), and the racemic mixture). Nonetheless, stereoselectivity was observed in dynamic binding parameters; the S(+) enantiomer bound with slower association and dissociation rates than the R(-). 相似文献

The stereoselectivity of the peroxisome proliferation potency of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA), a metabolite of the plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, was investigated in vitro. The enantiomers of 2-EHA were prepared via the semipreparative HPLC resolution of their diastereoisomeric (+)-(R)-1-phenylethylamine derivatives and the subsequent hydrolytic cleavage. Monolayers of hepatocytes were incubated 3 days with solution of (-)-(R), (+)-(S), and (+/-)-2-EHA. The peroxisome proliferation potency was measured by means of determination of the peroxisomal palmitoyl coenzyme A oxidation. The theoretical induction component due to each enantiomer were calculated from the experimental data considering the enantiomeric purities of the acids. The (+)-(S)-enantiomer was found to be the most potent inducer e.g., the eutomer, while the (-)-(R) was the distomer. The eudismic ratio was about 1.6 and the racemic mixture exhibited an intermediary potency. These results, obtained in vitro in conditions avoiding confounding factors such as pharmacokinetics, suggest that the peroxisome proliferation induced by 2-ethylhexanoic acid is a stereoselective phenomenon. 相似文献

Bambuterol is a chiral carbamate known as selective inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). In order to relate bambuterol selectivity and stereoselectivity of cholinesterases to the active site residues, we studied the inhibition of recombinant mouse BChE, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and six AChE mutants, employed to mimic BChE active site residues, by bambuterol enantiomers. Both enantiomers selectively inhibited BChE about 8000 times faster than AChE. The largest inhibition rate increase in comparison to AChE w.t. was observed with the F295L/Y337A mutant, showing that leucine 295 and alanine 337 are crucial residues in BChE for high bambuterol selectivity. All studied enzymes preferred inhibition by the R- over the S-bambuterol. The enlargement of the AChE choline binding site and of the acyl pocket by single or double mutations (Y337A, F295L/Y337A and F297I/Y337A) increased, in comparison to w.t. enzymes, inhibition rate constants of R- bambuterol more than that of S- bambuterol resulting in four times higher stereoselectivity. Peripheral site mutations (Y124Q and Y72N/Y124Q/Y337A) increased inhibition rate by S- more than R-bambuterol and consequently diminished the stereoselectivity. 相似文献

Effects of pure enantiomers of flurbiprofen in comparison to racemic flurbiprofen on eicosanoid release from various rat organs ex vivo. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of oral treatment of rats with pure enantiomers of flurbiprofen in comparison to racemic flurbiprofen on ex vivo release of eicosanoids from gastric mucosa, jejunum, lung, brain and clotting whole blood were investigated. With the S(+) enantiomer and the racemate dose-dependent inhibition of release of cyclooxygenase products of arachidonate metabolism in all tissues tested was observed, while release of leukotriene (LT) C4 was inhibited in gastric mucosa, but not in jejunum and lung. On the other hand, the R(-) enantiomer inhibited cyclooxygenase in the various tissues less potently and to a variable degree with no significant effect in the jejunum. The R(-) enantiomer had no effect on LTC4 release from any of the tissues investigated. Furthermore, the effect of a high dose of 25 mg/kg of the S(+) enantiomer on release of cyclooxygenase products from the various tissues was much longer lasting than that of an identical dose of the R(-) enantiomer. Stereoselective pharmacokinetics of the flurbiprofen enantiomers and/or organ specific cyclooxygenase activities could underly these results. The more potent cyclooxygenase inhibition by the S(+) enantiomer correlates with its higher anti-inflammatory activity and gastrointestinal toxicity. On the other hand, both enantiomers have been shown previously to be almost equally effective analgesics. Inhibition of brain cyclooxygenase might contribute to this effect. 相似文献

Organophosphorus compounds (OPs), such as nerve agents and a group of insecticides, irreversibly inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by a rapid phosphorylation of the catalytic Ser203 residue. The formed AChE-OP conjugate subsequently undergoes an elimination reaction, termed aging, that results in an enzyme completely resistant to oxime-mediated reactivation by medical antidotes. In this study, we present crystal structures of the non-aged and aged complexes between Mus musculus AChE (mAChE) and the nerve agents sarin, VX, and diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) and the OP-based insecticides methamidophos (MeP) and fenamiphos (FeP). Non-aged conjugates of MeP, sarin, and FeP and aged conjugates of MeP, sarin, and VX are very similar to the noninhibited apo conformation of AChE. A minor structural change in the side chain of His447 is observed in the non-aged conjugate of VX. In contrast, an extensive rearrangement of the acyl loop region (residues 287-299) is observed in the non-aged structure of DFP and in the aged structures of DFP and FeP. In the case of FeP, the relatively large substituents of the phosphorus atom are reorganized during aging, providing a structural support of an aging reaction that proceeds through a nucleophilic attack on the phosphorus atom. The FeP aging rate constant is 14 times lower than the corresponding constant for the structurally related OP insecticide MeP, suggesting that tight steric constraints of the acyl pocket loop preclude the formation of a trigonal bipyramidal intermediate. 相似文献

Organophosphorus hydrolases (OPH) such as mammalian plama paraoxonase (PON1) detoxify asymmetric toxic organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents by preferentially hydrolyzing the less toxic P(+) optical isomer. In order to develop new OPHs with broader stereoselectivity we have prepared a series of asymmetric fluorogenic organophosphonates (Flu-OPs). Such Flu-OPs may serve as molecular probes for screening large libraries of OP hydrolases during directed evolution. Flu-OPs were prepared as methylphosphonates (MPs) diesters containing either ethyl (E), isopropyl (I), cyclohexyl (C) or pinacolyl (P) groups that are structural congeners of the nerve agents VX, sarin, cyclosarin and soman, respectively. The second ester bond was formed with fluorescent moieties that are either 3-cyano-4-methyl-7-hydroxy coumarin (MeCyC) or 1,3-dichloro-7-hydroxy 9,9-dimethyl-9H-acridin-2-one (DDAO). To further characterize the Flu-OPs as surrogates of their respective nerve agents, we have studied the reactivation of Flu-OP-inhibited AChE using 2-PAM and toxogonin (TOX). AChE was 90–95% inhibited by all Flu-OPs (0.36–0.9 (M) and then was reactivated by either 2-PAM or TOX. TOX caused a more rapid reactivation than 2-PAM with the following rank order; EMP > IMP > CMP. TOX was also shown to be a better reactivator than 2-PAM for AChE inhibited by the nerve agents VX and cyclosarin. PMP-AChE could not be reactivated by either TOX or 2-PAM, similarly to aging of PMP-AChE formed by inhibition with soman.Racemic CMP-MeCyC was used for screening two new PON1 variants from a neutral library of PON1. These multiple mutation variants include replacement of active site amino acid residues. Neither mutation in these new variants appeared in PON1 variants previously discovered by directed evolution using symmetric Flu-OP. Detoxification rate of cylcosarin by these new PON1 variants was rather slow indicating the need to further screen PON1 clones using optically active Flu-OPs. Therefore, we have separated enzymatically the P(−) enantiomer of CMP-MeCyC and determined its 98% purity using chiral HPLC. 相似文献

3alpha,12alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholan-24-oic acid (deoxycholic acid DCA) is able to discriminate between the R- and S-enantiomers of camphorquinone and endo-(+)-3-bromocamphor and select only the S-enantiomers from a racemic mixture. DCA forms novel well ordered 1:1 adducts with (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone and (1S)-endo-(-)-3-bromocamphor, both of which have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD). When DCA is cocrystallized with (RS)-camphorquinone and (RS)-endo-3-bromocamphor, 1:1 adducts of the S-enantiomers are produced together with crystals of the free racemic guest. In contrast, in the absence of (1S)-(+)-camphorquinone, DCA forms a 2:1 adduct with (1R)-(-)-camphorquinone. In this 2:1 adduct the guest is disordered at ambient temperature and undergoes a phase change in the region 160-130 K similar to that observed for the ferrocene adduct, but with only partial ordering of the guest. The SXRD structure of the low temperature form and the variable temperature (13)C CP/MAS NMR are reported. Cocrystallizing DCA with (1R)-endo-(+)-3-bromocamphor gives the free guest and a glassy solid. 相似文献

The activities of the enantiomers of BM-5 were examined to measure muscarinic cholinergic selectivity in the central nervous system. Autoradiographic studies assessed the ability of each enantiomer to inhibit the binding of [3H]-(R)-quinuclidinyl benzilate ([3H]-(R)-QNB) to muscarinic receptors in the rat brain. (+)-(R)-BM-5 inhibited [3H]-(R)-QNB binding to rat brain sections at concentrations below 1.0 microM, while 100-fold higher concentrations of (-)-(S)-BM-5 were required for comparable levels of inhibition. Analysis of the autoradiograms indicated that both stereoisomers had a similar distribution of high affinity binding sites. Each enantiomer displayed higher affinity for muscarinic receptors in the superior colliculi and lower affinity for receptors in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. (+)-(R)-BM-5 and oxotremorine inhibited adenylyl cyclase activity in the cerebral cortex with efficacies comparable to that for acetylcholine. (+)-(R)-BM-5 was 26-fold more potent than (-)-(S)-BM-5 in inhibiting adenylyl cyclase. Oxotremorine-M and carbamylcholine stimulated phosphoinositide turnover in the cerebral cortex. Oxotremorine had lower activity and (+)-(R)-BM-5 was essentially inactive at comparable concentrations. The difference in activity of the two enantiomers indicates a remarkable stereochemical selectivity for muscarinic receptors. The stereoselectivity index is comparable for both the autoradiographic assays (48) and measures of adenylyl cyclase activity (26) in the cerebral cortex. 相似文献

Red blood cell AChE (RBC-AChE) and plasma BChE can be used as sensitive biomarkers to detect exposure to OP nerve agents, pesticides, and cholinergic drugs. In a comparative study, RBC-AChE and serum BChE activities in whole blood was obtained from forty seven healthy male and female human volunteers, and then exposed separately ex vivo to three OP nerve agents (soman (GD), sarin (GB) and VX) to generate a wide range of inhibition of AChE and BChE activity (up to 90% of control). These samples were measured using four different ChE assays: (i) colorimetric microEllman (using DTNB at 412 nm), (ii) Test-mate ChE field kit (also based on the Ellman assay), (iii) Michel (delta pH), and (iv) the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research Whole Blood (WRAIR WB) cholinesterase assay. The WRAIR assay is a modified Ellman method using DTP at 324 nm (which minimizes hemoglobin interference and improves sensitivity), and determines AChE and BChE in a small whole blood sample simultaneously. Scatter plots of RBC-AChE activities were determined using the WRAIR ChE assay versus the micro-Ellman, Test-mateTM and Michel after exposure to varying concentrations of soman, sarin and VX. Regression analyses yielded mostly linear relationships with high correlations (r2 = 0.83-0.93) for RBC-AChE values in the WRAIR assay compared to the alternate methods. For the plasma BChE measurements, individual human values were significantly more variable (as expected), resulting in lower correlations using WRAIR ChE versus the alternate assays (r2 values 0.5 - 0.6). To circumvent the limitations of simple correlation analysis, Bland and Altman analysis for comparing two independent measurement techniques was performed. For example, a Bland and Altman plot of the ratio of the WRAIR whole blood AChE and Michel AChE (plotted on the y-axis) vs. the average of the two methods (x-axis) shows that the majority of the individual AChE values are within +/- 1.96 S.D. of the mean difference, indicating that the two methods may be used interchangeably with a high degree of confidence. The WRAIR ChE assay can be thus be used as a reliable inter-conversion assay when comparing results from laboratory-based (Michel) and field-based (Test-mateTM ChE kit), which use different methodology and report in different units of AChE activity. 相似文献

We have described recently an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) knockout mouse. While comparing the tissue distribution of AChE and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), we found that extraction buffers containing Triton X-100 strongly inhibited mouse BChE activity. In contrast, buffers with Tween 20 caused no inhibition of BChE. Conventional techniques grossly underestimated BChE activity by up to 15-fold. In Tween 20 buffer, the intestine, serum, lung, liver, and heart had higher BChE than AChE activity. Only brain had higher AChE than BChE activity in AChE +/+ mice. These findings contradict the dogma, based mainly on observations in Triton X-100 extracts, that BChE is a minor cholinesterase in animal tissues. AChE +/- mice had 50% of normal AChE activity and AChE -/- mice had none, but all mice had similar levels of BChE activity. BChE was inhibited by Triton X-100 in all species tested, except rat and chicken. Inhibition was reversible and competitive with substrate binding. The active site of rat BChE was unique, having an arginine in place of leucine at position 286 (human BChE numbering) in the acyl-binding pocket of the active site, thus explaining the lack of inhibition of rat BChE by Triton X-100. The generally high levels of BChE activity in tissues, including the motor endplate, and the observation that mice live without AChE, suggest that BChE has an essential function in nullizygous mice and probably in wild-type mice as well. 相似文献

The alkylaminoalkylnaphthalene 3 shows interesting opioid-like analgesic properties, μ-selective ligand competition, and enkephalin hydrolyzing enzyme inhibition. 3 possesses two chiral centers and can exist as two racemic pairs and four diastereomers. Since the binding of opioids with the receptor is stereoselective, it was important to have the two racemic pairs as well as the four diastereomers. In this paper the synthesis of the (1R,2R/1S,2S)- and (1R,2S/1S,2R)-racemates and the (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-enantiomers of the 1-ethyl-1-hydroxy-1-[2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)]-2-methyl-3-dimethylaminopropane 3 is considered and the determination of absolute configuration is described. The (1R,2R/1S,2S)- 3 and (1R,2S/1S,2R)- 3 racemates and the (1R,2R)- 3 and (1S,2S)- 3 enantiomers were prepared by reaction of the racemic and optically active 1-dimethylamino-2-methylpentan-3-one 2 , respectively, with the lithiation product obtained from 2-bromo-6-tetrahydropyranyloxynaphthalene and acidic hydrolysis. The optical resolution of aminoketone 2 was carried out via fractional crystallization of salts (+)- and (?)-dibenzoyltartrates. The configuration of the optically active compounds was determined by X-ray analysis of a crystal of (+)-(1R,2R)- 3 · HCl · H2O. Preliminary pharmachological tests showed that (+)-(1R,2R)- 3 enantiomer is able to induce opioid-like analgesia with a relative potency 2.5 times that of (1R,2R/1S,2S)- 3 and about 4 times that of morphine. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Fexofenadine, a substrate of P-glycoprotein and an organic anion transporter polypeptide, is commonly used to assess P-glycoprotein activity in vivo. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the pharmacokinetics of each fexofenadine enantiomer. After a single oral dose of racemic fexofenadine (60 mg), the plasma and urine concentrations of fexofenadine enantiomers were measured over the course of 24 h in six healthy subjects. The mean plasma concentration of R(+)-fexofenadine was higher than that of S(-)-fexofenadine. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) and the maximum plasma concentration (C(max)) of R(+)-fexofenadine were significantly greater than those of the S(-)-enantiomer (P = 0.0018 and 0.0028, respectively). The R/S ratios of AUC and C(max) of fexofenadine were 1.75 and 1.63, respectively. The oral clearance and renal clearance of S(-)-fexofenadine were significantly greater than that of R(+)-fexofenadine (P = 0.0074 and 0.0036). On the other hand, the stereoselective metabolism of fexofenadine using recombinant CYP3A4 was investigated; however, fexofenadine enantiomers were not metabolized by CYP3A4. Fexofenadine is transported by both P-glycoprotein and OATP and is not metabolized by intestinal CYP3A. Our findings suggest that the affinity of P-glycoprotein for S(-)-fexofenadine is greater than its affinity for the R(+)-enantiomer. Thus, P-glycoprotein is likely to have chiral discriminatory abilities. 相似文献

E2020 (R,S)-1-benzyl-4-[(5,6-dimethoxy-1-indanon)-2-yl]methyl)piperidine hydrochloride is a piperidine-based acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in the United States. Structure-activity studies of this class of inhibitors have indicated that both the benzoyl containing functionality and the N-benzylpiperidine moiety are the key features for binding and inhibition of AChE. In the present study, the interaction of E2020 with cholinesterases (ChEs) with known sequence differences, was examined in more detail by measuring the inhibition constants with Torpedo AChE, fetal bovine serum AChE, human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and equine BChE. The basis for particular residues conferring selectivity was then confirmed by using site-specific mutants of the implicated residue in two template enzymes. Differences in the reactivity of E2020 toward AChE and BChE (200- to 400-fold) show that residues at the peripheral anionic site such as Asp74(72), Tyr72(70), Tyr124(121), and Trp286(279) in mammalian AChE may be important in the binding of E2020 to AChE. Site-directed mutagenesis studies using mouse AChE showed that these residues contribute to the stabilization energy for the AChE-E2020 complex. However, replacement of Ala277(Trp279) with Trp in human BChE does not affect the binding of E2020 to BChE. Molecular modeling studies suggest that E2020 interacts with the active-site and the peripheral anionic site in AChE, but in the case of BChE, as the gorge is larger, E2020 cannot simultaneously interact at both sites. The observation that the KI value for mutant AChE in which Ala replaced Trp286 is similar to that for wild-type BChE, further confirms our hypothesis. 相似文献

Metabolic enantiomeric interactions: the inhibition of human (S)-warfarin-7-hydroxylase by (R)-warfarin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Inhibition of the metabolism of (S)-warfarin, the more pharmacologically active enantiomer of the racemic drug, by (R)-warfarin was investigated in microsomes obtained from three human livers. In each case the production of both (S)-6- and (S)-7-hydroxywarfarin was found to be competitively inhibited by (R)-warfarin. The KiS for inhibition of (S)-6- and (S)-7-hydroxylation by (R)-warfarin ranged from 7.0 to 8.4 microM and from 6.0 to 6.9 microM, respectively, while the KmS for the 6- and 7-hydroxylation of (S)-warfarin ranged from 3.6 to 3.8 microM and from 3.3 to 3.9 microM, respectively. In contrast, except for the 4'-hydroxylation pathway (S)-warfarin was found to be a weak inhibitor of the metabolism of (R)-warfarin. Possible implications of these findings include the following: (1) the kinetic parameters defining the interactions of two enantiomers of a racemic drug with the cytochrome P-450s or other macromolecular systems in the living organism can only be properly defined from experiments with the pure enantiomers, (2) an enantiomer of a racemic drug may contribute significantly to biological effect not by its inherent activity but by altering the pharmacokinetics of the eutomer, and (3) enantiomeric interactions are not easily detected unless directly sought and may be relatively common. 相似文献

Disposition and absorption of hydroxychloroquine enantiomers following a single dose of the racemate
The disposition of hydroxychloroquine enantiomers has been investigated in nine patients with rheumatoid arthritis following administration of a single dose of the racemate. Blood concentrations of (?)-(R)-hydroxychloroquine exceed those of (+)-(S)-hydroxychloroquine following both an oral and intravenous dose of the racemate. Maximum blood concentrations of (?)-(R)-hydroxychloroquine were higher than (+)-(S) -hydroxychloroquine after oral dosing (121 ± 56 and 99 ± 42 ng/ml, respectively, P = 0.009). The time to maximum concentration and the absorption half-life, calculated using deconvolution techniques, were similar for both enantiomers. The fractions of the dose of each enantiomer absorbed were similar, 0.74 and 0.77 for (?)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-hydroxychloroquine, respectively (P = 0.77). The data suggest that absorption of hydroxychloroquine is not enantioselective. The stereoselective disposition of hydroxychloroquine appears to be due to enantioselective metabolism and renal clearance, rather than stereoselectivity in absorption and distribution. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献
