We have studied the effects of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) on the biotransformations of toxic doses of tetrachloro (d,l-trans)1,2-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(IV) (tetraplatin) in Fischer 344 rats. In animals not treated with DDTC, tetraplatin was rapidly converted to dichloro(d,I-trans)1,2-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(II) [PtCl2(dach]. Subsequent biotransformations included the transient formation of the (d,I-trans)1,2-diaminocyclohexane-aquachloroplatinum(II) [Pt(H2O)(Cl)(dach)]+ complex, followed by formation of the platinum (Pt)-methionine and either Pt-cysteine or Pt-ornithine complexes. Significant amounts of free (d,I-trans) 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach) were observed in plasma as a result of intracellular trans-labilization reactions. DDTC caused a marked decrease in both total and protein-bound platinum in the circulation. A significant increase in the plasma concentration of free dach was also observed as a result of formation of the Pt(DDTC)2 complex. Some of the free dach could have arisen from intracellular reactions with DDTC, but the displacement of platinum from plasma proteins was more than sufficient to account for the increase in free dach in the circulation. DDTC treatment also decreased plasma concentrations of tetraplatin, PtCl2(dach), [Pt(H2O)(Cl)(dach)]+, the Pt-methionine complex, and one unidentified biotransformation product, but had no effect on the Pt-cysteine (or Pt-ornithine) complex. These effects of DDTC on protein-bound platinum and low-molecular-weight biotransformation products in plasma may contribute to the decrease in tetraplatin toxicity seen in DDTC-treated rats. 相似文献

Correlation between the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by airway inflammatory cells and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of pulmonary tissue during an asthma attach was investigated in a guinea pig model of allergic asthma. In addition, the influence of SOD inhibition by diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC, Cu-chelating agent) on the airway was investigated in terms of pulmonary function during an asthma attach. Relative to controls, the capacity of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) cells to release ROS was significantly increased in guinea pigs sensitized with ovalbumin (OA) as the antigen, and significantly increased in guinea pigs with an asthma attack provoked by the inhalation of OA. SOD activity was increased significantly in the antigen-sensitized group. The asthma provocation group showed a tendency for increase in total SOD activity, compared with the sensitization group, whose increase was dependent on the increase in copper, zinc-SOD (Cu, Zn-SOD) activity. Pretreatment with DDC increased the severity and duration of the asthma attack. These results were indicated that Cu, Zn-SOD was closely involved in the asthma process, particularly in the scavenging of oxygen radicals secreted from BAL cells. 相似文献

Two new β-carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) from the bacterial pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, stCA 1 and stCA 2, were characterized kinetically. The two enzymes possess appreciable activity as catalysts for the hydration of CO2 to bicarbonate, with kcat of 0.79 × 106 s−1 and 1.0 × 106 s−1, and kcat/Km of 5.2 × 107 M−1 s−1 and of 8.3 × 107 M−1 s−1, respectively. A large number of simple/complex inorganic anions as well as other small molecules (sulfamide, sulfamic acid, phenylboronic acid, phenylarsonic acid, dialkyldithiocarbamates) showed interesting inhibitory properties towards the two new enzymes, with several low micromolar inhibitors discovered. As many strains of S. enterica show extensive resistance to classical antibiotics, inhibition of the β-CAs investigated here may be useful for developing lead compounds for novel types of antibacterials. 相似文献

Nicotine Prevents Experimental Parkinsonism in Rodents and Induces Striatal Increase of Neurotrophic Factors 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Abstract: The repeated finding of an apparent protective effect of cigarette smoking on the risk of Parkinson's disease is one of the few consistent results in the epidemiology of this disorder. Among the numerous substances that originate from tobacco smoke, nicotine is by far the most widely studied. Nicotine is a natural alkaloid that has considerable stimulatory effects on the CNS. Its effects on the CNS are mediated by the activation of neuronal heteromeric acetylcholine-gated ion channel receptors (nAChRs, also termed nicotinic acetylcholine receptors). In the present study, we describe the neuroprotective effects of (−)-nicotine in two animal models of parkinsonism: diethyldithiocarbamate-induced enhancement of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine toxicity in mice and methamphetamine-induced neurotoxicity in rats and mice. The neuroprotective effect of (−)-nicotine was very similar to that of the noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist (+)-MK-801. In parallel experiments, we found that (−)-nicotine induces the basic fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor in rat striatum. The effect of (−)-nicotine on the induction of FGF-2 was prevented by the nAChR antagonist mecamylamine. We also found that (+)-MK-801 was able to induce FGF-2 in the striatum. As trophic factors have been reported to be neuroprotective for dopaminergic cells, our data suggest that the increase in neurotrophic factors is a possible mechanism by which (−)-nicotine protects from experimental parkinsonisms. 相似文献

Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC), a potent copper chelating agent, has long been used for the treatment of oxygen toxicity to the central nervous system, as an immunomodulator to treat cancer, and in HIV-infected patients. We evaluated the antioxidant properties of DDC, including its scavenging of reactive oxygen species, its reducing properties, its iron-chelating properties, and its protective effects on oxidant-induced damage to brain tissue, protein, human LDL, and DNA. It is found that DDC is a powerful reductant and antioxidant since it scavenges hypochlorous acid, hydroxyl radical and peroxynitrite; it chelates, then oxidizes ferrous ions; it blocks the generation of hydroxyl radicals and inhibits oxidative damage to deoxyribose, protein, DNA, and human LDL. These findings may provide an explanation for the apparent beneficial effects of DDC against oxidative stress-related diseases that have been observed in experimental and clinical studies. 相似文献

二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸钠对二氧化硫衍生物引起的心肌细胞钠电流增大的增强效应 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)是生物体内专一的过氧自由基(superoxide anions,O2.-)清除剂,而二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸钠(diethyldithiocarbamate,DDC)则是公认的Cu,Zn-SOD的抑制剂。采用全膜片钳技术研究了DDC对二氧化硫(sulfur dioxide,SO2)衍生物引起的大鼠心肌细胞钠电流增大效应的作用,以期更进一步揭示SO2的毒性机理。结果表明:SO2衍生物对SOD活性无显著影响,SO2衍生物存在时,DDC仍可以显著降低SOD的活性。DDC(10 ̄100 mmol/L)剂量依赖性地增大钠电流(INa),半数效应浓度为(19.85±0.95)mmol/L。将20 mmol/L的DDC与10μmol/L的SO2衍生物同时作用于心肌细胞,INa仍表现为电压依赖性的增大,并使INa的电压依赖性激活曲线显著地向负电压方向移动,稳态失活曲线向正电压方向移动,差异极其显著。这表明DDC增强了SO2衍生物对心肌细胞钠电流的增大效应,提示SO2衍生物引起的大鼠心肌细胞毒性主要是通过自由基,特别是O2.-氧化损伤实现的。 相似文献

Abstract Gas chromatographic analyses revealed that rates of release of nitrous oxide from nitrite or nitric oxide in extracts of the c , d 1 cytochrome nitrite reductase-producing denitrifiers, Paracoccus denitrificans and Pseudomonas perfectomarina , were unaffected by preincubation with the metal chelator, diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC). In contrast, preincubation with DDC completely inhibited generation of nitrous oxide from nitrite in extracts of copper protein nitrite reductase-producing denitrifiers, " Achromobacter cycloclastes " and Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides forma species denitrificans . Pre-exposure to DDC lessened but did not completely inhibit nitric oxide reduction in extracts of the copper protein nitrite reductase-producing denitrifiers. Proton consumption values resulting from pulsing with nitrite were similarly completely inhibited by preincubation with DDC of extracts of the two copper protein-producing denitrifiers. Uptake values related to pulsing with nitric oxide were also lessened but not completely inhibited by prior exposure to DDC. As anticipated, proton consumption was not affected by preincubation with DDC in extracts of P. denitrificans pulsed with nitrite or nitric oxide. Differential sensitivity of copper protein nitrite reductase activity to DDC could provide the simple assay method needed for determination of the distribution of two types of nitrite reductase producers among populations of denitrifiers in nature. 相似文献

Disulfiram in conjunction with copper has been shown to be a potent anticancer agent. However, disulfiram’s therapeutic potential in prostate cancer is hindered by off-target effects due to its reactive and nucleophilic thiol-containing component, diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC). To minimize undesirable reactivity, we have strategically blocked the thiol moiety in DTC with a cleavable p-aminobenzyl (pAB) group linked to peptide substrates recognized by prostate specific antigen (PSA). Here we report the synthesis and evaluation in cancer cell models of two PSA-activatable prodrugs: HPD (Ac-HSSKLQL-pAB-DTC and RPD (RSSYYSL-pAB-DTC). In vitro exposure to PSA was found to trigger activation of HPD and RPD to release diethyldithiocarbamate, and both prodrugs were found to induce toxicity in prostate cancer cells, with HPD showing the most promising selectivity. With copper supplementation, the IC50 of HPD was 1.4 µM in PSA-expressing LNCaP cells, and 11 µM in PC3 cells that do not express PSA. These studies demonstrate the utility of using peptide recognition handles to direct the activity of dithiocarbamate prodrugs for selective cytotoxicity of cancer cells. 相似文献

The enhancing effects of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) on increase of sodium channel by sulfur dioxide derivatives in ventricular myocytes were studied using the whole cell patch-clamp technique to probe the mechanism of SO(2) on the cardiovascular system in this study. Firstly, the effects of DDC and/or sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) derivatives on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were studied. The results showed that DDC decreased SOD activities significantly and SO(2) derivatives had no significant effect on SOD activities; however, DDC and SO(2) derivatives combined led to a significant decrease of SOD activities. In the electrophysiological test, DDC (1-100mM) increased sodium current (I(Na)) in a concentration-dependent manner and the concentration for half-maximum increase (EC(50)) was 20mM. Addition of 20mM DDC to the SO(2) derivatives-containing medium significantly shifted the voltage-dependent activation curve of I(Na) toward the hyperpolarizing direction (V(h) are -51mV, -53mV and -54mV, respectively) and shifted the steady-state inactivation curve to more positive potentials (V(h) are -74mV, -71mV and -65mV, respectively) compared with the control and 10muM SO(2) derivatives exposure. These results indicated that DDC could enhance the increasing effects on Na(+) channels induced by SO(2) derivatives, and suggested that the toxicity of SO(2) on ventricular myocytes of rats was realized by free radical, especially O(2)(-). 相似文献
