Inhibition of Sterol Biosynthesis by 2-Isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-1-piperidine Carboxylate Methyl Chloride in Tobacco and Rat Liver Preparations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
2-Isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-1-piperidine carboxylate methyl chloride, 90%, applied to rootless tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samson) seedlings inhibits the incorporation of (14)C-mevalonate into sterols. Concomitantly, the retardant causes the accumulation of squalene-2,3-epoxide, an intermediate in sterol biosynthesis. The results with tobacco are identical to those produced by the retardant in cell-free rat liver preparations.

2-Isopropyl-4-dimethylamino-5-methylphenyl-1-piperidine carboxylate methyl chloride (AMO-1618) inhibits the activity of a cholinesterase isolated from mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) roots at concentrations comparable to those which retard growth and inhibit development of secondary roots of bean seedlings. Fifty per cent inhibition of the cholinesterase activity occurred at 0.21 mm. Inhibition of...
