The interaction of inositol hexaphosphate with methaemoglobin.
1. Inositol hexaphosphate causes the shape of the oxidation-reduction equilibrium curve to become hyberbolic at acid pH values. 2. Inositol hexaphosphate also causes a decrease in the alkaline oxidation Bohr effect at these same pH values. 3. These results support the idea that inositol hexaphosphate causes methaemoglobin to take up the deoxyhaemoglobin quaternary structure at pH6.5.
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic activity of inositol hexaphosphate (IP6).
A significant anticancer activity of the naturally occurring carbohydrate inositol hexaphosphate (IP(6)) has been reported against numerous cancer models. Since tumors require angiogenesis for growth and metastasis, we hypothesize that IP(6) reduces tumor growth by inhibiting angiogenesis. Because angiogenesis depends on the interaction between endothelial and tumor cells, we investigated the e...
متن کاملInteraction of methemoglobin with inositol hexaphosphate. Presence of the T state in human adult methemoglobin in the low spin state.
The interaction of human methemoglobin with inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) was examined by proton NMR spectroscopy. Upon addition of IHP, new proton peaks which are distinguishable from those observed in the absence of IHP appeared irrespective of the spin state of the ferric heme iron. the IHP-induced NMR peaks of low spin azide methemoglobin were not observed when azide was titrated to stripped...
متن کاملInositol Hexaphosphate and Inositol Inhibit Colorectal Cancer Metastasis to the Liver in BALB/c Mice
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and inositol (Ins), naturally occurring carbohydrates present in most mammals and plants, inhibit the growth of numerous cancers both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we first examined the anti-metastatic effects of IP6 and Ins using a liver metastasis model of colorectal cancer (CRC) in BALB/c mice. CT-26 cells were injected into the splenic capsule of 48 BALB/...
متن کاملProstate cancer and inositol hexaphosphate: efficacy and mechanisms.
There are now extensive scientific data suggesting the potential role of dietary and non-dietary phytochemicals in the prevention and control of prostate cancer (PCA) growth and progression. PCA is a disease of elderly male populations with a relatively slower rate of growth and progression as compared to most other cancers and, therefore, is a candidate disease for preventive intervention. Ove...
