The ability of 19 structural analogs of propyl gallate to inhibit purified soybean seed (Glycine max [L.] Merr. var. Ransom) lipoxygenase-2 (EC 1.13.11.12) was determined. The results indicate that the o-dihydroxy and not the ester function of propyl gallate is essential for inhibition of lipoxygenase. Catechol thus represents the minimum inhibitory structure. Among those compounds possessing an o-dihydroxy function, the Ki′ for inhibition of lipoxygenase is directly related to the lipophilicity of the inhibitor as measured by the octanol-water partition coefficient. The structural features of propyl gallate necessary for inhibition of lipoxygenase were found to differ from those required for inhibition of the plant mitochondrial alternative pathway. This further supports the concept that the alternative oxidase and lipoxygenase are functionally distinct species.  相似文献

Alkyl gallate, which is known as an antioxidant, intensively inhibited Δ5 and Δ6 desaturation in both rat liver microsomes and an arachidonic acid-producing fungus Mortierella alpina 1S-4. The rat liver microsomal Δ5 and Δ6 desaturases were inhibited by gallic acid esterified with alcohols with various numbers of carbons, suggesting that the necessary structure in an esterified alcohol for the inhibition is not so strict. Among the three hydroxy groups in gallic acid, the m-hydroxy group was shown to be the necessary structure. Kinetic analyses revealed that propyl gallate is a noncompetitive inhibitor of Δ5 desaturase (Ki = 2.6 · 10−5 M) and Δ6 desaturase (Ki = 1.7 · 10−4 M). These data indicate that alkyl gallate is a new type of desaturase inhibitor and different from known natural inhibitors, i.e., sesamin and curcumin.  相似文献

Inhibition of the biosynthesis of complex N-glycans in the Golgi apparatus is one of alternative ways to suppress growth of tumor tissue. Eight N-benzyl substituted 1,4-imino-l-lyxitols with basic functional groups (amine, amidine, guanidine), hydroxyl and fluoro groups were prepared, optimized their syntheses and tested for their ability to inhibit several α-mannosides from the GH family 38 (GMIIb, LManII and JBMan) as models for human Golgi and lysosomal α-mannoside II. All compounds were found to be selective inhibitors of GMIIb. The most potent structure bearing guanidine group, inhibited GMIIb at the micromolar level (Ki = 19 ± 2 µM) while no significant inhibition (>2 mM) of LManII and JBMan was observed. Based on molecular docking and pKa calculations this structure may form two salt bridges with aspartate dyad of the target enzyme improving its inhibitory potency compared with other N-benzyl substituted derivatives published in this and previous studies.  相似文献

Kinetics of inhibition of cyanide-insensitive O2 uptake by n-propyl gallate (PG) and salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM) were determined in fresh slices from ethylene-treated tubers of Solanum tuberosum `Norchip' and with mitochondria and lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.12) isolated from these tubers. PG and SHAM appeared to be inhibiting at identical sites in mitochondria but at disparate sites in slices. The apparent KI for SHAM was similar in mitochondria and slices. However, the apparent KI for PG in mitochondria was about 40-fold lower than the KI for PG inhibition of lipoxygenase activity. The amount of lipoxygenase associated with mitochondria increased when tubers were treated with ethylene. PG, but not SHAM, inhibited aging-induced development of cyanide-insensitive respiration. The latter two phenomena are in accord with the hypothesis that lipid metabolism is required for the development of the alternative pathway.  相似文献

Neuraminidase (NA) is one of the two glycoproteins on the surface of influenza virus, which cleaves terminal sialic acid residues and facilitates the release of virions from infected cells. The recombinant NA from H5N1 influenza virus strain A/Vietnam/1203/04 was expressed in Pichia pastoris X33 as a 45 kDa protein that displayed a K m of 9.96 ± 1.26 μM with fluorogenic substrate, 2′-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetyl neuraminic acid. Partially purified NA was used for the inhibition and kinetic assays with eight flavonoid compounds and gallic acid. Among them, gallocatechin gallate (GCG) showed the best inhibition against NA with the IC50 of 8.98 ± 0.46 μM and showed a competitive inhibition pattern with K i value of 8.34 ± 0.25 μM. In molecular docking experiments, GCG displayed a binding energy of ?13.71 kcal/mol to the active site of NA and the galloyl moiety was required for NA inhibition activity.  相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO), an antioxidant enzyme, is a natural antimicrobial system that eliminates the harmful effects of microorganisms in milk. It has a wide range of applications and is also preferred in cosmetic and clinical applications, as well as used in foods. The use of antioxidants is well recognized in the food and feed industries to improve the shelf life of products. This study aimed to determine the in vitro inhibition effects of Trolox, α‐tocopherol, butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene, and propyl gallate, which are commonly used as antioxidants in food and pharmaceutical products. For this purpose, LPO was first purified in a single step using sepharose‐4B‐l ‐tyrosine‐sulfanilamide affinity gel chromatography. Also, some inhibition parameters, including half‐maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), Ki values, and inhibition types, were calculated for each antioxidant molecule. The IC50 values of these molecules, which exhibited competitive inhibition, varied between 377.7 and 3397.8 nM. Molecular docking studies were also performed for all compounds. According to the binding scores, α‐tocopherol was shown to exhibit the most effective inhibitor property (IC50: 377.7 nM and Ki: 635.8 ± 16.8 nM) among the standard antioxidants used in this study. Inhibiting the LPO activity by standard antioxidants results in the weakening of the immune system during lactation, which is important for metabolism.  相似文献

The effects of substituted catechols (3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, 4-nitrocatechol, and guaiacol) and trihydroxybenzenes (pyrogallol, propyl gallate, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) on the synthesis of prostaglandin (PG)E2 and leukotriene (LT)B4 were tested in human A23187-stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The effects were related to their peroxyl-radical-scavenging (antioxidant), superoxide-scavenging (antioxidant), and superoxide-generating (prooxidant) properties. In general, compounds with hydroxyl groups in the ortho position increased PGE2/LTB4 ratio, and compounds with hydroxyl groups in the meta position decreased PGE2/LTB4 ratio. Catechols, which have hydroxyl groups in the ortho position, were the most potent peroxyl radical and superoxide anion scavengers. Trihydroxybenzenes (pyrogallol, 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene, and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene) generated superoxide, whereas dihydroxybenzenes did not. Thus, the positions and number of hydroxyl groups seem to be the most important properties determining the action of phenolic compounds on PGE2/LTB4 ratio and their antioxidant/prooxidant activities.  相似文献

Gametangia of the aquatic phycomycete Allomyces macrogynus have a cyanide- and antimycin A-insensitive respiration, which is sensitive to salicylhydroxamic acid (alternative respiration). Propyl gallate is also an inhibitor of this alternative pathway, and propyl gallate is more efficient than hydroxamic acid. Gametangial respiration is insensitive to propyl gallate, but propyl gallate sensitivity is gradually established when the gametangia are titrated with cyanide. Carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone stimulates the cyanide-sensitive respiration and engages the alternative sensitive respiration. Sodium azide inhibits both the alternative and the cyanide-sensitive respiration, but the cyanide-sensitive respiration is inhibited 10 times more efficiently than the alternative respiration. Rotenone inhibits the total respiration and the propyl gallate-insensitive respiration by 33% and the cyanide-insensitive respiration by 43%.

The kinetic results reported here are discussed with respect to the models of de Troostembergh and Nyns (1977 Arch Int Physiol Biochem 85:404-406; 1978 Eur J Biochem 53:423-432) and of Bahr and Bonner (1973 J Biol Chem 248:3446-3450) for the partitioning of electrons between cyanide-insensitive and propyl gallate-insensitive respiration. The results reported here do not agree with the model of de Troostembergh and Nyns.

The binding of radioactively labeled butyl gallate to sucrose gradient-purified mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) mitochondria was studied. Titrations showed the binding of [14C]butyl gallate to the mitochondria consisted of both reversible and irreversible components. The reversible component bound with a dissociation constant of approximately 1 micromolar which was comparable to the observed inhibition constant for the inhibition of the alternative pathway by butyl gallate. The reversible binding of labeled butyl gallate was also prevented by addition of excess, unlabeled salicylhydroxamic acid. The concentration of binding sites associated with reversible butyl gallate binding was around 0.5 nanomole per milligram of mitochondrial protein. These results were consistent with the reversible binding site being associated with the butyl gallate site of inhibition of the cyanide-resistant, alternative electron transfer pathway in mung bean mitochondria. In addition to the reversible butyl gallate binding site, a nonspecific, irreversible association of butyl gallate with the mitochondrial membrane was observed. The latter binding did not readily saturate at high butyl gallate concentrations and was not correlated with butyl gallate inhibition of the alternative pathway.  相似文献

A broad spectrum of structurally diverse anions reversibly inhibits the influx of methotrexate in L1210 cells. Several of the more effective anions and their respective inhibition constants (Ki values) were: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (0.3 μm), bromosulfophthalein (2 μm), thiamine pyrophosphate (3 μm), 8-anilino-1-naphthalene sulfonate (7 μm), phthalate (20 μm), and AMP (50 μm). Moderate inhibition was observed with Pi (Ki = 400 μm) and other divalent inorganic anions, while small monovalent anions such as Cl? (Ki = 30 mm) were the least effective. When these same anions were tested for an effect on methotrexate efflux, stimulation was observed with some anions, while others had no effect. Enhancement was produced by folate compounds and p-aminobenzoylglutamate, small monovalent (e.g., Cl?, acetate, and lactate) and divalent (e.g., phosphate and succinate) anions, a few nucleotides (e.g., AMP), and thiamine pyrophosphate, while little or no effect was associated with trivalent anions (e.g., citrate), most nucleotides, and large organic anions (e.g., bromosulfophthalein, NAD, and NADP). Anions with the ability to promote methotrexate efflux in control cells lost this capacity upon exposure of the cells to an irreversible inhibitor of methotrexate influx. These results support the hypothesis that methotrexate transport proceeds via an anion-exchange mechanism and moreover provide evidence that anion substrates for this system can be identified by their ability to promote methotrexate efflux. Anions which appear most likely to participate in this exchange cycle in vivo are Pi and AMP.  相似文献

Synthesis and biological activities of a series of homo- or substituted piperidine unsymmetrical diethers are described. The novel compounds were evaluated for histamine H3 receptor binding affinities at recombinant human H3 receptor stably expressed in HEK-293 cells. All diethers showed in vitro affinities in nanomolar concentration range. The most potent compounds are 1-[3-(3-(4-chlorophenoxy)propoxy)propyl]-3-methylpiperidine 11 (Ki = 3.2 nM) and 1-[3-(3-(4-chlorophenoxy)propoxy)propyl]azepane 13 (Ki = 3.5 nM).  相似文献

In this work a total of 12 carbazoles and hydrazone-bridged thiazole-pyrrole derivatives have been identified as new competitive inhibitors of tyrosinase. Carbazole derivative with 2-benzoimidazole substitution showed most potent inhibition in the series. Other carbazole derivatives containing benzothiazole and benzoxazole substitutions showed comparable levels of tyrosinase inhibition. The hydrazone derivatives also showed potent tyrosinase inhibitory activity with comparable Ki values except one with fluoride at its terminal position. Kinetic studies showed competitive inhibition of tyrosinase by all compounds that increased the substrate Km without changing the Vmax value. Moreover, experimental evidence suggests that the target compounds specifically bind to the binuclear copper center of the tyrosinase active site in an apparent mono-dentate fashion. Carbazoles and hydrazones are new and emerging classes of compounds as tyrosinase inhibitors that may provide new structural avenues to discovery of drugs targeting the treatment of hyperpigmentation and related dermatological disorders.  相似文献

To develop selective inhibitors for β-N-acetylhexosaminidases which are involved in a myriad of physiological processes, a series of novel thioglycosyl–naphthalimide hybrid inhibitors were designed, synthesized and evaluated for inhibition activity against glycosyl hydrolase family 20 and 84 (GH20 and GH84) β-N-acetylhexosaminidases. These compounds which incorporate groups with varied sizes and lengths at the linker region between thioglycosyl moiety and naphthalimide moiety are designed to improve the selectivity and stacking interactions. The GH84 human O-GlcNAcase (hOGA) was sensitive to the subtle changes in the linker region and the optimal choice is a small size linker with six atoms length. And the GH20 insect β-N-acetylhexosaminidase OfHex1 could tolerate compounds with a hydrophobic bulky linker. Especially, the compound 5c (hOGA, Ki?=?3.46?μM; OfHex1, Ki?>?200?μM) and the compound 6f (hOGA, Ki?>?200?μM; OfHex1, Ki?=?21.81?μM) displayed high selectivity. The molecular docking results indicated that the inhibition mechanism was different between the two families due to their different structural characteristics beyond the active sites. These results provide some promising clues to improve selectivity of potent molecules against β-N-acetylhexosaminidases.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that harmine is a reversible inhibitor of human monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A). Moreover, the crystal structure of human MAO-A in complex with harmine has been recently solved. This crystal structure shows that close to the methoxy group of the harmine moiety, a lipophilic pocket is left vacant within the binding site of human MAO-A. Our objective was to optimize the ??-carboline series against human MAO-A in order to explore this pocket. Therefore, a series of ??-carboline derivatives has been synthesized. The compounds were evaluated for their human monoamine oxidase A and B inhibitory potency and their Ki values were estimated. The results show that O-alkylated compounds with lipophilic groups like cyclohexyl, phenyl and aliphatic chains increase the inhibition of MAO-A compared to harmine. Compound 3e, with the trifluorobutyloxy group, was the most active of this series, with a Ki against MAO-A of 3.6 nM. Molecular docking studies show that the trifluorobutyloxy chain occupies the hydrophobic pocket vacant with harmine. The O-alkylated compounds are less active on MAO-B than on MAO-A. However, several compounds show a better inhibition on MAO-B compared to harmine. Compound 3f, with the cyclohexylmethoxy chain, displayed the best inhibitory activity against MAO-B with a Ki value of 221.6 nM. This cyclohexyl bearing analogue is also a potent MAO-A inhibitor with a Ki value of 4.3 nM. Molecular docking studies show that the cyclohexyl chain also occupies a hydrophobic pocket but in different ways in MAO-A or MAO-B.  相似文献

The influence of 15 hydroxy-benzoic acids upon active inorganic phosphate absorption by barley roots was examined. For each compound an inhibition constant (ki) was determined, i.e. the concentration of compound required to bring about a 50% inhibition of absorption. The ki values of the benzoic acids were strongly correlated with their octanol—water partition coefficients and their pKa values. This suggests that the inhibition of normal membrane functions, brought about by benzoic acids, results from a generalized increase in cell membrane permeability. Salicylate derivatives were generally more inhibitory than would be predicted from their partition coefficients; their pronounced toxicity probably arises from structural impediments to their detoxication.  相似文献

A series of novel alkoxy-piperidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their serotonin reuptake inhibitory and binding affinities for 5-HT1A/5-HT7 receptors. In vivo antidepressant activities of the selective compounds were explored using the forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) in mice. The results showed that compounds 7a (reuptake inhibition (RUI), IC50 = 177 nM; 5-HT1A, Ki = 12 nM; 5-HT7, Ki = 25 nM) and 15g (RUI, IC50 = 85 nM; 5-HT1A, Ki = 17 nM; 5-HT7, Ki = 35 nM) were potential antidepressant agents in animal behavioral models with high 5-HT1A/5-HT7 receptor affinities and moderate serotonin reuptake inhibition, and good metabolic stability in vitro.  相似文献

(1) Rates of ATP synthesis and ADP-arsenate synthesis catalyzed by Rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores were determined with the firefly luciferase method and by a coupled enzyme assay involving hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. (2) Vm for ADP-arsenate synthesis was about 2-times lower than Vm for ATP-synthesis. With saturating [ADP], K(Asi) was about 20% higher than K(Pi). With saturating [anion], K(ADP) was during arsenylation about 20% lower than during phosphorylation. (3) Plots of 1v vs. 1[substrate] were non-linear at low concentrations of the fixed substrate. The non-linearity was such as to suggest a positive cooperativity between sites binding the variable substrate, resulting in an increased VmKm ratio. High concentrations of the fixed substrate cause a similar increase in VmKm, but abolish the cooperativity of the sites binding the variable substrate. (4) Low concentrations of inorganic arsenate (Asi) stimulate ATP synthesis supported by low concentrations of Pi and ADP about 2-fold. (5) At high ADP concentrations, the apparent Ki of Asi for inhibition of ATP-synthesis was 2–3-times higher than the apparent Km of Asi for arsenylation; the apparent Ki of Pi for inhibition of ADP-arsenate synthesis was about 40% lower than the apparent Km of Pi for ATP synthesis. (6) The results are discussed in terms of a model in which Pi and Asi compete for binding to a catalytic as well as an allosteric site. The interaction between these sites is modulated by the ADP concentration. At high ADP concentrations, interaction between these sites occurs only when they are occupied with different species of anion.  相似文献

N-1 tosyl indoles carrying amino acid as a part of C-3 substituent are identified with considerable 5-LOX inhibitory activities. On the basis of enzyme inhibitory activities and log P, it is found that these compounds are more suitable to use as ester prodrugs. In addition to the significant Ka and Ki for 5-LOX, advantageously the compounds under present investigation do not affect the viability of the cell. The experimental results were also supported by molecular docking of compounds in the active site of 5-LOX.  相似文献

The steady state kinetics of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (GNR) (EC 1.2.1.9) have been investigated. The enzyme exhibits hyperbolic behavior over a wide range of substrate concentrations. Double-reciprocal plots are nearly parallel or distantly convergent with limiting Km values of 2 to 5 micromolar for NADP+ and 20 to 40 micromolar for D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). The velocity response to NADP+ as the varied substrate is however sigmoidal if G3P concentration exceeds 10 micromolar, whereas the response to G3P may show inhibition above this concentration. This `G3P-inhibited state' is alleviated by saturating amounts of NADP+ or NADPH. Product inhibition patterns indicate NADPH as a potent competitive inhibitor to NADP+ (Ki 30 micromolar) and mixed inhibitor towards G3P, and 3-phosphoglycerate (3PGA) as mixed inhibitor to both NADP+ and G3P (Ki 10 millimolar). The data, and those obtained with dead-end inhibitors, are consistent with a nonrapid equilibrium random mechanism with two alternative kinetic pathways. Of these, a rapid kinetic sequence (probably ordered with NADP+ binding first and G3P binding as second substrate) is dominant in the range of hyperbolic responses. A reverse reaction with 3PGA and NADPH as substrates is unlikely, and was not detected. Of a number of compounds tested, erythrose 4-phosphate (Ki 7 micromolar) and Pi (Ki 2.4 millimolar) act as competitive inhibitors to G3P (uncompetitive towards NADP+) and are likely to affect the in vivo activity. Ribose 5-phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate, ATP, and ADP are also somewhat inhibitory. Full GNR activity in the leaf seems to be allowed only under high photosynthesis conditions, when levels of several inhibitors are low and substrate is high. We suggest that a main function of leaf GNR is to supply NADPH required for photorespiration, the reaction product 3PGA being cycled back to chloroplasts.  相似文献

A series of novel 7-aminoalkyl substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for inhibition of cathepsin K. The synthetic methodology comprises cyclization of 5-aminopyrazoles with N-Boc-α-amino acid-derived ynones followed by transformation of the ester and the Boc-amino functions. It allows for easy diversification of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold at various positions. Molecular docking studies with pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were also performed to elucidate the binding mode in the active site of cathepsin K. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate inhibition activity (Ki ≥ 77 μM).  相似文献
