A novel dicyclodextrinyl diselenide compound with glutathione peroxidase activity.
A 6A,6A'-dicyclohexylamine-6B,6B'-diselenide-bis-beta-cyclodextrin (6-CySeCD) was designed and synthesized to imitate the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). In this novel GPX model, beta-cyclodextrin provided a hydrophobic environment for substrate binding within its cavity, and a cyclohexylamine group was incorporated into cyclodextrin in proximity to the catalytic selenium in or...
متن کاملGlutatione peroxidase in bovine semen.
The roles ofselenium (Se) and glutathione peroxidase in reproductive function are poorly understood, but it is possible that they may be important for normal reproduction in the male. In rats fed a Se-deficient diet, the testes accumulated and retained more 75Se than did other tissues 1 week after injection (Brown & Burk, 1972; Burk, Brown, Seely & Scaief, 1972). Autoradiographic studies (Brown...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in bovine placenta : spectrophotometric and electrophoretic analysis
Reactive oxygen species are unavoidable products of metabolism and in excess they can be dangerous for tissues and cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), among others, protect tissues and cells against reactive oxygen species. The aim of the study was the description of SOD and GSH-Px from bovine placenta by use of spectrophotometric and electrophoretic analysis ...
متن کاملGlutathione Peroxidase Potentiates the Inhibition
GSH peroxidase (Px) catalyzes the reduction of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH), known metabolic products of platelets and vascular cells. Because interactions between these cells are modulated by nitric oxide (NO) and LOOH inactivate NO, we investigated the effect of GSH-Px on the inhibition of platelet function by the naturally occurring S-nitrosothiol, S-nitroso-glutathione (SNO-Glu). Concentrati...
متن کاملA novel plant glutathione S-transferase/peroxidase suppresses Bax lethality in yeast.
The mammalian inducer of apoptosis Bax is lethal when expressed in yeast and plant cells. To identify potential inhibitors of Bax in plants we transformed yeast cells expressing Bax with a tomato cDNA library and we selected for cells surviving after the induction of Bax. This genetic screen allows for the identification of plant genes, which inhibit either directly or indirectly the lethal phe...
