On the action of sulfanilamide

Summary InE. coli, sulfanilic acid, sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine, sulfapyrimidine and sulfathiazol are antagonized by the same series of non competitive antagonists,viz., methionine, xanthine, serine, thymine and valine. This seems to indicate that the biosynthesis of these substances is successively inhibited by increasing concentrations of these sulfadrugs; the synthesis of methionine being inhibited first, that of valine only by excessive concentrations. Though the absolute concentrations vary with the drug the relative sensitivity of the five enzyme systems are very much the same. This again shows that the intrinsic toxicity of the sulfadrugs is the same.I: Ann. de l'Inst. Pasteur62, 616, 1939. II: Antonie van Leeuwenhoek7, 25, 1941. III: Ibid.7, 77, 1941.

Deep Subsurface Microbial Biomass and Community Structure in Witwatersrand Basin Mines

The extreme environments of South Africa mines were investigated to determine microbial community structure and biomass in the deep subsurface. These community parameters were determined using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) technique. Air, water and rock samples were collected from several levels and shafts in eight different mines. Biomass estimates ranged over nine orders of magnitude. Biofilm samples exhibited the highest biomass with quantities ranging from 10 ³ to 10 ⁷ pmol PLFA g ^?1 . Rock samples had biomass ranging from 10 ³ to 10 ⁶ pmol PLFA g ^?1 . Mine service waters and rock fracture waters had biomass estimates ranging from 10 ⁰ to 10 ⁶ pmol PLFA L ^?1 . Air samples biomass values ranged from 10 ^?2 to 10 ⁰ pmol PLFA L ^?1 . The biomass estimates were similar to those estimates for other deep subsurface sites. Redundancy analysis of the PLFA profiles distinguished between the sample types, where signature lipid biomarkers for aerobic and anaerobic prokaryotes, sulfate-and metal-reducing bacteria were associated with biofilms. Rock samples were enriched in 18:1 ω 9 c , 18:2 ω 6, br17:1s and br18:1s, which are indicative of microeukaryotes and metal- reducing bacteria. Air samples were enriched with 22:0, 17:1, 18:1, and a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Service waters had monounsaturated fatty acids. Fracture waters contained i17:0 and 10Me18:0 which indicated gram-positive and other anaerobic bacteria. When the fracture and service water sample PLFA responses to changes in environmental parameters of temperature, pH, and anion concentrations were analyzed, service waters correlated with higher nitrate and sulfate concentrations and the PLFAs 18:1 ω 7 c and 16:1 ω 7 c . Dreifontein shaft 5 samples correlated with chloride concentrations and terminally branched saturated fatty acids and branched monounsaturated fatty acids. Kloof, Tau Tona, and Merriespruit fracture waters aligned with temperature and pH vectors and 18:0, 20:0 and 22:6 ω 3. The redundancy analysis provided a robust method to understand the PLFA responses to changes in environmental parameters.

Cholinesterase inhibitory triterpenoids from the bark of Garcinia hombroniana

Abstract

Context: Garcinia hombroniana Pierre, known as manggis hutan in Malaysia is a rich source of xanthones and benzophenones.

Objectives: This study was aimed to isolate and characterize potential cholinesterase inhibitors from the extracts of G. hombroniana bark and investigate their interactions with the enzymes.

Materials and methods: The dichloromethane extract afforded five triterpenoids which were characterized by NMR and mass spectral techniques. Cholinesterase inhibitory assay and molecular docking were performed to get insight of the inhibitory activity and molecular interactions of the compounds. The compounds were also tested for their antioxidant capacity.

Results: The isolated triterpenoids were identified as: 2β-hydroxy-3α-O-caffeoyltaraxar-14-en-28-oic acid (1), taraxerol (2), taraxerone (3), betulin (4) and betulinic acid (5). Compound 1 was the most active dual inhibitor of both AChE and BChE. Compound 1 also showed good antioxidant activities.

Conclusion: Compound 1 had dual and moderate inhibitory activity on AChE and BChE worthy for further investigations.     

Inhibition and inactivation of equine aromatase by steroidal and non-steroid al compounds. A comparison with human aromatase inhibition

Abstract

In order to approach the detailed structure-function relationships of aromatase, we studied the inhibitory and inactivatory potencies of several steroidal androstenedione analogues (1: 4-hydroxyandrostenedione, 2: 4-acetoxyandrostenedione and 3: 7α-(4'-amino)phenylthio-4-androstene-3, 17-dione) and non-steroidal imidazole derivatives (4: ketoconazole, 5: miconazole and 6: fadrozole) on equine aromatase in placental microsomes, a well established mammalian model. Human placental microsomes and the purified enzyme from equine testis were also used to compare inhibition by 1 and 2. In equine microsomes, all compounds tested exhibited a competitive inhibition, with K_i values of 4.1, 26 and 1.8 nM for 1, 2 and 3, and of 2400, 1.4 and 4 nM for 4, 5, and 6, respectively. The K_m for androstenedione, the substrate mainly used in these studies, was 1.8 ± 0.13 nM. The three non-steroidal derivatives did not inactivate equine aromatase, but 1 and 2 acted as comparable inactivators to a much higher degree than 3. Compound 1 inhibited in a similar manner (89–94%) purified or equine and human microsomal aromatases, whereas 2 inhibited microsomal aromatase more efficiently in the horse than in man (92% and 33% inhibition, respectively). There was only a 40% inhibition with 2 on the purified equine enzyme, which is no more in the natural membrane environment. The comparisons between equine and human microsomal aromatases allow precise functional and structural differences to be observed with these enzymes.
