Abstract: | Previously we reported two metabolites of the insecticide carbofuran as persistent inhibitors of the peroxidase-catalysed oxidtion ofindole-3-acetic acid. In searching for more active inhibitors of this type, we have found that 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylchromene (β-tubanol), 2′,6′-dihydroxycetophenone oxime, 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylchroman, 2′,6′-dihydroxyacetophenone and 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid methyl ester were more active than the carbofuran metabolite 7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran. Resorcinol, 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-one, 3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-2,2-dimethylchroman-4-one and 5-hydroxy-2-methylchrom-4-one were also inhibitory but with less activity. The new inhibitors differed from the well-known phenolic inhibitors such as caffeic acid in inhibition kinetics as demonstrated by the rate of disappearance of indole-3-acetic acid, the rate of formation of the oxidation products, and the transient spectral change in the enzyme. |
