Inhibition Assay Study of Purified Glutathione S-transferase from Fasciola Hepatica and Sheep Liver Tissue by Hexachlorophene
نویسنده
چکیده
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are widespread in Fasciola. hepatica parasite and sheep liver tissue. Study of GSTs inhibition assays in F. hepatica and sheep liver tissue are a priority of chemotherapeutic targets in parasitic liver diseases including human fascioliasis in Iran. In this research, the whole extract of F. hepatica and sheep liver tissues were purified and eluted for sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) pattern and GSTs inhibition assay. GSTs inhibition was detected by hexachlorophene as an inhibitor and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) as secondary substrate. The purified GSTs from F. hepatica and liver tissue contained comparable components and showed a molecular weight of 26kDa. The inhibitor concentration of hexachlorophene, for the remaining 50% activity (IC50%) of GST enzymes from F. hepatica and liver were graphically calculated, and the results were 0.25 μM and 1 μM, respectively. GSTs of F. hepatica may be more sensitive than sheep liver tissue to hexachlorophene. Acta Medica Iranica, 42(3): 168-171; 2004

Fascioliasis is a worldwide parasitic disease in human and domestic animals. The causative agents of fascioliasis are Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. In the recent years, fasciola resistance to drugs has been reported in the many of publications. Fasciola spp has detoxification system including GST enzyme which may be responsible for its resistance. Therefore , the aim of the study wa...

Livestock infection by the parasitic fluke Fasciola hepatica causes major economic losses worldwide. The excretory-secretory (ES) products produced by F. hepatica are key players in understanding the host-parasite interaction and offer targets for chemo- and immunotherapy. For the first time, subproteomics has been used to compare ES products produced by adult F. hepatica in vivo, within ovine ...

Introduction: To determine an indicator for Triclabendazole (TCBZ) efficacy, Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity in Fasciola hepatica (Iranian isolate) parasite in presence and absence of TCBZ was evaluated by an in vitro cultivation method. Also, ALT enzyme activity between none and parasitized-infected sheep liver tissues was assessed. Method: The sheep livers were collected and tra...
