Effects of Carbohydrates on the Toxicity of p-Aminophenyl Arsenoxide against S. cerevisiae

چکیده
The effects of carbohydrates on the toxicity of p-Aminophenyl arsenoxide (p-APAO) against S. cerevisiae were investigated by Microcalorimetry, including glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose, N-acetyl glucosamine, 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucosamine (OADG), and chito-oligomer. The toxicity of p-APAO on S. cerevisiae decreased in the presence of OADG or chito-oligomer. Among the test carbohydrates, the antagonism of OADG was better than those of other sugars. These results suggested that OADG and chito-oligomer were p-APAO antagonists. Carbohydrates could form complex with p-APAO to prohibit p-APAO from polymerizing. This result was attributable to hexose carriers not recognizing the p-APAO effectively.

Trypanothione is the primary target for arsenical drugs against African trypanosomes.
The trypanosomatid metabolite N1,N8-bis-(glutathionyl)spermidine (trypanothione) has been demonstrated to form a stable adduct with the aromatic arsenical drug melarsen oxide [p-(4,6-diamino-s-triazinyl-2-yl)aminophenyl arsenoxide]. The stability constant of the melarsen-trypanothione adduct (Mel T) has been determined to be 1.05 x 10(7) M-1. When bloodstream Trypanosoma brucei are incubated wi...
