Catechol-O-methyl transferase and schizophrenia.
Catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) is an enzyme involved in the degradation of dopamine. The most commonly examined polymorphism within the COMT gene is Val108/158Met polymorphism, which results in three to fourfold difference in COMT enzyme activity. It is particularely important in prefrontal cortex, since COMT activity is the most important regulator of the prefrontal dopamine function. Gi...
متن کاملAntibiotics produced by Streptomyces.
Streptomyces is a genus of Gram-positive bacteria that grows in various environments, and its shape resembles filamentous fungi. The morphological differentiation of Streptomyces involves the formation of a layer of hyphae that can differentiate into a chain of spores. The most interesting property of Streptomyces is the ability to produce bioactive secondary metabolites, such as antifungals, a...
متن کاملDocking Based De novo Design of Few Tolcapone Derivatives as Catechol-o- Methyl Transferase (Comt) Inhibitors
Catechol-O-methyl tranferase (COMT; E.C.2.1.1.6) is widely distributed enzyme in nature that plays an essential role in the metabolism of catechol neurotransmitters and catechol linked foreign entities. As L-DOPA, a key medicine in Parkinsonism is being catabolised by COMT, this justified the interest in developing improved COMT inhibitors as significant adjunct to L-DOPA therapy. Although tolc...
متن کاملPurification and properties of hydroxyindole-O-methyl transferase.
The demonstration of the hormone mclatonin (N-acetyl-Bmethoxytryptamine) in bovine pineal gland (1) prompted a study of the enzymes involved in its formation and metabolism. In preliminary studies (2, 3) we described an enzyme, hydroxyindole-O-methyl transferase, in the pineal gland of cows, that catalyzes the 0-methylation of N-acetyl-serotonin to melatonin. This paper describes the purificati...
متن کاملDeisovalerylblastmycin produced by Streptomyces SP.
A new antifungal antibiotic was isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. 5140-A1. Degradation studies of the crystalline antibiotic, m.p. 186 approximately 188 degrees C, C21H28O8N2, suggested Piricularia oryzae and less toxicity against killfish than antimycin A--blastmycin antibiotics.
