چکیده

Malic dehydrogenase has been shown to catalyze the reduction of diketosuccinate by DPNH (4). Furthermore, both oxaloglycolate and diketosuccinate undergo spontaneous decarboxylation in aqueous solution. These nonenzymatic reactions complicate the analysis of the metabolic path of degradation of tartrate. As a prerequisite for the use of labeled compounds to study the biochemical synthesis and degradation of tartrate, it seemed essential to know the manner of the nonenzymatic decarboxylation of both oxaloglycolate and diketosuccinate. The present paper describes such a study.

The non-enzymatic decarboxylation of diketosuccinate and oxaloglycolate (dihydroxyfumarate).

Malic dehydrogenase has been shown to catalyze the reduction of diketosuccinate by DPNH (4). Furthermore, both oxaloglycolate and diketosuccinate undergo spontaneous decarboxylation in aqueous solution.

Metal ion inhibition of nonenzymatic pyridoxal phosphate catalyzed decarboxylation and transamination.

Nonenzymatic pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) catalyzed decarboxylations and transaminations have been revisited experimentally. Metal ions are known to catalyze a variety of PLP-dependent reactions in solution, including transamination. It is demonstrated here that the rate accelerations previously observed are due solely to enhancement of Schiff base formation under subsaturating conditions. A varie...

Enzymatic C-demethylation of 1-[2-(5-tert-butyl-[1,3,4] oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethylamino)-ethanone (LC15-0133) in rat liver microsomes.

The in vitro metabolism of 1-[2-(5-tert-butyl-[1,3,4] oxadiazole-2-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-2-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethylamino)-ethanone (LC15-0133), a novel dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, was investigated using a hepatic microsomal system. The structures of the metabolites were characterized using mass spectral analysis and by comparison with synthetic references. The in vitro ...

Enzymatic Catalysis of Proton Transfer and Decarboxylation Reactions.

Deprotonation of carbon and decarboxylation at enzyme active sites proceed through the same carbanion intermediates as for the uncatalyzed reactions in water. The mechanism for the enzymatic reactions can be studied at the same level of detail as for nonenzymatic reactions, using the mechanistic tools developed by physical organic chemists. Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) catalyzed interconvers...

Manganese (III)-Bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-Methyl-1,2-Phenylenediimine (Mn-BSMP) as an Inexpensive N2O2 Type Schiff Base Catalyst for Oxidative Decarboxylation of Carboxylic Acids with (n-Bu4NIO4) in the Presence of Imidazol

In this study, bis(salicylaldehyde)-4-methyl-1,2-phenylenediimine (BSMP) as a Schiff base ligand of N2O2-type and its Mn and Fe complex as M-BSMP catalyst were synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The efficiency of Fe- and Mn-BSMP catalysts was evaluated in the oxidative decarboxylation of arylacetic acids with tetra...
