The molecular morphology of NADH-ubiquinone reductase (complex I) was investigated by cross-linking with the cleavable bifunctional reagent, dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate). Cross-linking inhibits the following activities of the complex--NADH----3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide (oxidized), NADH----2,6-dichloroindophenol, NADH----ferricyanide, and NADH----menadione--to different degrees with the greatest inhibition occurring with either ferricyanide or 3-acetylpyridine adenine dinucleotide as electron acceptor. Addition of 150 microM NADH affords partial protection from inhibition. Cross-linking quenches the FMN fluorescence of complex I (288 nm excitation/515 nm emission), and addition of 150 microM NADH greatly reduces the quenching. Treatment of complex I (1 mg/ml) for 2 min with dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) (0.2 mg/ml) at 4 degrees C revealed a cross-linked product consisting of the following seven subunits: 75-80, 53-57, 42, 33-35, 24-27, 17-18, and 12.5-15.5 kDa. Five minutes of treatment cross-linked the unidentified polypeptides of 69 and 51 kDa to six of the seven complex I subunits, but the 12.5-15.5-kDa subunit may be missing from this cross-linked product, while 15 min of treatment cross-linked additional unidentified polypeptides of 177, 107, 72, and 63 kDa. Since longer times of cross-linking result in a larger number of unidentifiable polypeptide spots, the shorter cross-linking time results are taken as a more accurate picture of the native enzyme conformation. This would indicate that within complex I the following subunits are within 12 A of each other at one or more points in space: 75-80, 53-57, 42-45, 33-35, 24-27, 17-18, and, perhaps, 12.5-15.5 kDa. These subunits represent portions of all three fractions of the enzyme, i.e. flavoprotein, iron-protein, and insoluble or hydrophobic fractions. 相似文献

The 2-picolylamine is a simplest analogue of the alkaloid that has secondary and tertiary nitrogen function in its cyclic structure like that of alkaloids that can be derivatized to a number of biologically active compounds. In connection to our previous work, in the present work, three thiourea derivatives (I = 1,3-bis(2-benzyl-3-phenyl-1-(pyridine-2-yl) propyl) thiourea, II = 1,3-bis (pyridin-2-ylmethyl) thiourea, and III = 1-(2-benzyl-3-phenyl-1-(pyridine-2-yl) propyl)-3-phenylthiourea) were synthesized using 2-picolylamine template which is a readily available synthetic analogue of naturally occurring alkaloid. The biological effect of the synthesized derivatives were monitored on the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase in Swiss albino mice (21-days). The derivatives were also tested for their potential toxicity in a 28-days sub-chronic toxicity studies by assessing their effects on different parameters like hematological, serum biochemistry and liver histology. The therapeutic effect of the safe derivative (I) was examined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice as well. The derivatives showed inhibition of the enzyme activity from good to an excellent degree. Compound I had the highest inhibition with 21.42 ± 5.113 mg of the released phosphate as compared to that of the positive control group (84.55 ± 3.213 mg). Only I turned out to be safe for use in animals without exerting any toxic or lethal effects on any of the assessed parameters in the used animal model. Compound I efficiently reversed the effects like hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and weight loss in the test animals. Out of these three-tested compounds, I was found safe to be use as therapeutic agent in diabetes complications. However, further toxicological studies in other animal models are needed as well. 相似文献

Dietary exposure to heavy metals (viz., Ni, As, Fe, Cr, Mn, Co, Mo, Cu, Zn, Se, Cd, and Pb) has been recognized as a potential hazard to human health. This study investigates the level of contamination at two different sites in Pakistan, one irrigated with canal water (Site-I) and the other with urban wastewater (Site-II). At Site-II, irrigation with wastewater resulted in a significant increase in heavy metals and metalloids in soil and a subsequent build-up in two vegetables selected for study (Solanum tuberosum [potato] and Pisum sativum [pea]). Results showed that mean concentrations of heavy metals and metalloids in soil at Site-I were lower than those of Site-II. Mean concentrations of As and Cd in soil at both sites and for both vegetables were found above maximum permissible levels, while for both vegetables As at both sites and Cd, Mo, and Pb exceeded the suggested maximum levels for vegetables. High levels of some metals in the soils and vegetables could be due to unnecessary use of fertilizers and disposable water for irrigating the soils and the environmental cues prevalent in the areas, such as presence of ions that may bind the metals, often play an important role in uptake. 相似文献

A series of 2,4-diaryl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro- (36-40) and 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepines (25-35) have been synthesized from the corresponding chalcones 1-24. Both the benzothiazepines and chalcones were evaluated as DPPH free-radical scavengers and as inhibitors of cholinesterases, urease, and alpha-glucosidase. Compounds 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 18, 21, 36a, 37a, 37b, and 39a showed significant cholinesterase inhibiting activities. Among the 15 dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepines, 26, 32, and 35 exhibited significant radical-scavenging activities; and six tetrahydro-1,5-benzothiazepines (35, 36a, 36b, 37a, 37b, and 39a) were found to be inhibitors of AChE and BChE. Compounds 22, 25, 26, 33, 35, 36a, 37b, and 39a inhibited urease, and 25 and 27-31 were found to be potent inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase. 相似文献
