INHIBITION OF THE d-AMINO ACID OXIDASE BY BENZOIC ACID
نویسندگان
چکیده
Benzoic acid has been reported to inhibit the oxidation of succinic acid by muscle (l), the oxidation of butyric acid and crotonic acid by liver slices (2), and the oxidation of acetoacetic acid by kidney slices (3). It has also been reported to inhibit the oxygen uptake of liver and kidney slices, diaphragm, minced liver, kidney, and brain (4). In the present work it was found that benzoic acid had a slight inhibitory effect on the oxygen uptake of broken cell preparations of rat liver and kidney. It had no effect on the oxidation of succinic acid, lactic acid, hypoxanthme, xanthine, uric acid, choline, tyramine, I( -)-tyrosine, I( -)-proline, Z( -)-phenylalanine, sarcosine, or ethyl alcohol by the liver preparation. The oxidation of d-amino acids by various preparations of the d-amino acid oxidase was markedly inhibited by benzoic acid.

متن کاملInhibition of D-amino Acid Oxidase by Aromatic Acids* by J. Raymond Klein with the Technical Assistance of Elaine Austin
Benzoate competes with n-amino acids for n-amino acid oxidase and thus inhibits the activity of the oxidase (l-3). Monosubstituted benzoates, depending upon the substituent, have higher and lower affinities for the oxidase than has benzoate (2). Kojic acid, a Y-pyrone, likewise competitively inhibits the oxidase (4). The present report describes the inhibition of n-amino acid oxidase by certain...
