Bis(benzyl)polyamine analogs as novel substrates for polyamine oxidase.
N,N'-Bis(benzyl)polyamine analogs were found to be substrates for highly purified polyamine oxidase. Metabolism of these analogs was apparently dependent on molecular O2 and resulted in the formation of benzaldehyde, H2O2, and a polyamine analog with free terminal amines. The debenzylation reaction was optimal between pH 9 and 10, identical to the pH optimum for polyamine oxidase activity when ...
متن کاملThiols as myeloperoxidase-oxidase substrates.
Nine low-Mr thiols were compared with regard to their ability to function as myeloperoxidase-oxidase substrates under conditions where no auto-oxidation of the thiols could be observed. The methyl and ethyl esters of cysteine were found to be about twice as active as cysteamine at pH 7.0, in terms of increased O2 consumption. Cysteine itself was poorly active, whereas glutathione, N-acetylcyste...
متن کاملPolyamine oxidase and acrolein as novel biochemical markers for diagnosis of cerebral stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We found previously that plasma levels of acrolein (CH2=CHCHO) and spermine oxidase (SMO) were well correlated with the degree of severity of chronic renal failure. The aim of this study was to test whether the levels of these 2 markers and of acetylpolyamine oxidase (AcPAO) were increased in the plasma of stroke patients. METHODS The activity of AcPAO and SMO and the l...
متن کاملImidazo-1,2,3-triazines as substrates and inhibitors for xanthine oxidase.
A new group of compounds analogous to the purines was recently described (1) in which carbon atom 2 of the purine ring was replaced by nitrogen. One of these imidazo-1 ,2,3-triazines (I), conveniently called 2-azaadenine, was shown to be an antagonist of hypoxanthine and of adenine in its toxic action against bacteria and mice. The corresponding hydroxy compound, 2-azahypoxanthine, was relative...
متن کامل2-acetylphenol analogs as potent reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitors
Based on a previous report that substituted 2-acetylphenols may be promising leads for the design of novel monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, a series of C5-substituted 2-acetylphenol analogs (15) and related compounds (two) were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of human MAO-A and MAO-B. Generally, the study compounds exhibited inhibitory activities against both MAO-A and MAO-B, with se...
