A screening system for active and enantioselective amidase based on its acyl transfer activity.

A novel enantioselective amidase screening system was developed and proved to be efficient and accurate. This screening system employed acyl transfer activity of amidase in the presence of hydroxylamine, leading to the formation of hydroxamic acids, followed by spectrophotometric quantification of hydroxamic acid/iron(III) complexes. The enantioselectivities of amidase were evaluated by employing (R, S)-2, 2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxamide (1), (S)-2, 2-dimethyl cyclopropanecarboxamide and their mixture as substrates concurrently under the same conditions. To prove the accuracy of the screening system, enantioselectivity of acyl transfer reaction (E (T)) and that of hydrolytic reaction (E (H)) was compared. With this method, we obtained eight microorganism strains with enantioselective amidase from 523 isolates, two of which showed R-stereospecific avtivity for (R, S)-1.

[Correlation of tissue respiration and some mitochondria stereometric characteristics of the lung tissue in different modifications of hypoxic hypoxia].

In experiments on the adult white laboratory rats the correlation of tissue respiration and some morpho- and stereometric characteristics of mitochondria in lung tissue under breathing by air and gas mixture with 7% O2 in N2 was investigated. The following agents were used as modulators: indomethacin, a blockator of cyclooxygenase way of arachidonic acid metabolism; quercetin and linoleil of hydroxamic acid, blockators of lipooxygenase way ofarachidonic acid metabolism; taurine, an antihypoxant and energy source under hypoxic conditions; lipin-antihypoxant with significant membrane protective effect. It was shown, that the respiration intensity of tissue homogenate, not only of its mitochondrial fraction, closely connected with structural organization of mitochondria. It was demonstrated that changes of O2 concentration in gas mixture lead to the alteration of interrelation between O2 consumption and stereometric characteristics of mitochondria: in normoxia the intimate correlation was established with number of mitochondria and its total surface; in hypoxia such correlation was established with mitochondria diameter and number of structurally damage organelles. Pharmacological modulation factors play in this process not so significant role.

[Soy lipoxygenase as the object for the primary testing of potential inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis].

The comparative study of the ability of three compounds (indomethacin, agent BW 755 C and arachidonate hydroxamic acid) to inhibit the activity of preparations of soya bean lipoxygenase and to block leukotriene C4 biosynthesis in human leukocytes recorded by reversed phase liquid chromatography was performed. It was shown that irrespectively of purification degree soya bean lipoxygenase is a sufficiently adequate object for primary testing of inhibitors of biosynthesis of leukotrienes with the given type of action. Compounds with IC50 less than or equal to 1.10(-6) mol/l might be considered promising for the further investigation.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of orally active matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors.

The synthesis and biological evaluation of orally active inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinase are reported. Modifications of the P2' position and the alpha-substituent of hydroxamic acid derivatives were carried out, and revealed that the P2' substituent influenced the MMP inhibitory activities in vitro and in plasma after oral administration. The hydroxamates with phenylglycine at the P2' position were absorbed well orally. Compound 15e, which exhibited the longest duration of inhibitory activity in plasma after oral administration among the phenylglycine derivatives (5a-5d, 15a, 15c, 15e), was evaluated in a rat adjuvant arthritis model. A reduction in hind foot pad swelling and improvements of some inflammatory parameters were demonstrated when the compound was administered orally. These results indicate the potential of MMP inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis.

CGS 22745: a selective orally active inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase.

CGS 22745, and aralkyl hydroxamic acid, inhibited 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) and leukotriene B4 (LTB4) synthesis in guinea pig leukocytes (IC50 = 0.6 microM). The compound did not appreciably affect cyclooxygenase (ram seminal vesicles), 12-lipoxygenase and thromboxane synthase (human platelets) or 15-lipoxygenase (human neutrophils). CGS 22745 inhibited A23187-induced formation of LTB4 in blood (IC50's of 4.3, 0.56 and 3.2 microM for human, dog and rat, respectively). At 1 mg/kg i.v. in dogs, it caused 96% inhibition of A23187-stimulated LTB4 formation ex vivo after 5 min. Its effective biological half-life was greater than 160 min. In dogs at 3 and 10 mg/kg p.o., CGS 22745 inhibited ex vivo A23187-stimulated LTB4 formation at 3 hr by 48% and 97%, respectively. The inhibition persisted up to 6 hr (26% at 3 mg/kg; 49% at 10 mg/kg). CGS 22745 (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg p.o.) inhibited exudate formation, mononuclear cells and PMN accumulation in a dose-dependent manner during the late phase (48 and 72 hr) of carrageenan-induced pleurisy in the rat.

Early steps in the biosynthesis of mycobactins P and S.

1. Lysine is readily incorporated into mycobactins P and S. Incorporation is into the hydroxamic acid moieties only and is equal in the mycobactic acid and cobactin portions of the molecule. 2. 2-Amino-6-hydroxyaminohexanoic acid is not taken up by cells of Mycobacterium phlei and is not detectable in extracts of cells actively synthesizing mycobactin. 3. The most abundant material derived from lysine that can be detected in such cell extracts is an N(6)-acyl-lysine. Cells grown in the presence of iron contain markedly less of this material than do those grown under conditions of iron deficiency. 4. When added to growing cultures of M. phlei the N(6)-acyl-lysine is readily incorporated into mycobactin. 5. The hydroxy acid of cobactin P is derivable from propionate.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors induce caspase-dependent apoptosis and downregulation of daxx in acute promyelocytic leukaemia with t(15;17).

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) appears to play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) as it is recruited by both PML-RARalpha and PLZF/RAR alpha in leukaemic cells with t(15;17) and t(11;17) respectively. Recent studies have demonstrated that HDAC inhibitors can be therapeutically used in various neoplastic disorders including APL. Cell differentiation was considered the major mechanism of the anti-leukaemic effects of HDAC inhibitors in APL. However, most of these studies either evaluated the effect of HDAC inhibitors in combination with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) or focused on the less common form of APL with t(11;17). To investigate the cellular effects of HDAC inhibitors, including sodium butyrate, trichostatin A, and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), we used two APL cell lines, NB4 and the ATRA-resistant derivative NB4.306. Moreover, primary cells from five patients with cytogenetic evidence for t(15;17) were also studied. Our results demonstrated that HDAC inhibitors induce distinct caspase-dependent apoptosis in APL, which showed both concentration-and time-dependence. In addition, changes in the apoptosis-regulatory proteins, daxx, bcl-2 and bax were analysed. HDAC inhibitors induced downregulation of daxx, but no significant changes were detected in bcl-2 or bax. In conclusion, apoptosis induced by HDAC inhibitors in APL could provide an effective strategy for treatment of patients with t(15;17).

Molecular descriptors of N-arylhydroxamic acids: a tool in drug design.

The partition coefficient in the 1-octanol/water system, log P(O/W), is a measure of lipophilicity. It is used as a predictor of solute-membrane partitioning. The objective of this study was to measure the log P(O/W) of five hydroxamic acids. Other molecular descriptors of these solutes, namely molar volume, molar refraction, parachor, polarizability (pi*), hydrogen-bond donor acidity (epsilon alpha) and hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity (epsilon beta), have also been discussed. These properties represent the combined effects of a number of intermolecular forces between a solute and its environment.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors interact synergistically with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to induce apoptosis in carcinoma cell lines.

Both tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) show promise for the treatment of cancer. However, in a number of reports they have been proven ineffective to induce cell death when applied as single agents. In this study, we show that A549 lung carcinoma cells and PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells underwent substantial apoptosis when coexposed to TRAIL and either suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, sodium butyrate or trichostatin A. HDIs and TRAIL synergized in activation of capase-3, induction of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation and promoting mitochondrial damage. Significantly, cotreatment with minimally toxic doses of HDIs and TRAIL resulted in a marked apoptotic response in both cell lines. These data provide a rationale for a more in-depth exploration into the potential of combining TRAIL and HDIs as a valuable anticancer strategy.

Therapeutic effects of D-aspartic acid beta-hydroxamate (DAH) on Friend erythroleukemia.

D-aspartic acid beta-hydroxamate (DAH), an aspartic acid analogue, exerts anti-tumoral activity against murine leukemia L5178Y both in vitro and in vivo. We show here that DAH displays activity against Friend leukemia cells (FLC) in vitro: a concentration of 2 mM results in a total inhibition of cell growth. DAH is also active in vivo against Friend virus (FV-P)-induced erythroleukemia. Treatment with DAH, given for 95 days as a single daily i.p. injection to DBA/2 mice 3 days following FV-P inoculation, induced a marked increase of 212% in the mean survival time (MST) of treated animals. Since FV-P-induced erythroleukemia is characterized by the proliferation of mature erythroid precursors, we examined the effect of DAH treatment on erythroid colony-forming cells (CFU-E) and observed that the number of CFU-E per spleen was 30 times lower in DAH-treated mice than in the controls. To gain further insight into the early effects of DAH treatment on the early phase of Friend disease, we examined the effects of short DAH treatment on spleen size, hematocrit and viremia in FV-P-infected mice. DAH treatment initiated 3 days post infection (p.i.) inhibited splenomegaly, prevented virus-induced polycythemia, and reduced serum viremia. Late DAH treatment (18 days p.i.) induced regression of FVP-induced disease as evidenced by reduction of spleen weight.

Design, synthesis and molecular modeling study of iminodiacetyl monohydroxamic acid derivatives as MMP inhibitors.

As the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) can be massively up-regulated in degenerative tissues and degrade the extracellular matrix, these key enzymes are promising targets for the therapy of cancer and other degenerative diseases. Here, we are presenting a series of new non-peptidic hydroxamate-based matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors, MMPIs, incorporating the iminodiacetic (IDA) hydroxamic acid scaffold, as mimics of truncated peptidic MMPIs. A series of alkylaryl and sulfonylaryl groups, on the IDA basic scaffold, was investigated with the aim of improving potency and selectivity against MMPs involved in degenerative diseases. The sulfonamide based IDA derivatives studied (compounds B1-B3) showed to be potent (nM range) against deep S1' pocket MMPs enzymes (i.e., MMP-2).

A hydrogen-donating monohydroxamate scavenges ferryl myoglobin radicals.

The addition of 25 microM hydrogen peroxide to 20 microM metmyoglobin produces ferryl (FeIV = O) myoglobin. Optical spectroscopy shows that the ferryl species reaches a maximum concentration (60-70% of total haem) after 10 minutes and decays slowly (hours). Low temperature EPR spectroscopy of the high spin metmyoglobin (g = 6) signal is consistent with these findings. At this low peroxide concentration there is no evidence for iron release from the haem. At least two free radicals are detectable by EPR immediately after H2O2 addition, but decay completely after ten minutes. However, a longer-lived radical is observed at lower concentrations that is still present after 90 minutes. The monohydroxamate N-methylbutyro-hydroxamic acid (NMBH) increases the rate of decay of the fenyl species. In the presence of NMBH, none of the protein-bound free radicals are detectable; instead nitroxide radicals produced by oxidation of the hydroxamate group are observed. Similar results are observed with the trihydroxamate, desferrioxamine. "Ferryl myoglobin" is still able to initiate lipid peroxidation even after the short-lived protein free radicals are no longer detectable (E.S.R. Newman, C.A. Rice-Evans and M.J. Davies (1991) Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 179, 1414-1419). It is suggested that the longer-lived protein radicals described here may be partly responsible for this effect. The mechanism of inhibition of initiation of lipid peroxidation by hydroxyamate drugs, such as NMBH, may therefore be due to reduction of the protein-derived radicals, rather than reduction of ferryl haem.

Aerobactin biosynthesis and transport genes of plasmid ColV-K30 in Escherichia coli K-12.

The iron-regulated aerobactin operon, about 8 kilobase pairs in size, of the Escherichia coli plasmid ColV-K30 was shown by deletion and subcloning analyses to consist of at least five genes for synthesis (iuc, iron uptake chelate) and transport (iut, iron uptake transport) of the siderophore. The gene order iucABCD iutA was established. The genes were mapped within restriction nuclease fragments of a cloned 16.3-kilobase-pair HindIII fragment. Stepwise deletion and subsequent minicell analysis of the resulting plasmids allowed assignment of four of the five genes to polypeptides of molecular masses 63,000, 33,000 53,000, and 74,000 daltons, respectively. The 74-kilodalton protein, the product of gene iutA, is the outer membrane receptor for ferric aerobactin, whereas the remaining three proteins are involved in biosynthesis of aerobactin. The 33-kilodalton protein, the product of gene iucB, was identified as N epsilon-hydroxylysine:acetyl coenzyme A N epsilon-transacetylase (acetylase) by comparison of enzyme activity in extracts from various deletion mutants. The 53-kilodalton protein, the product of gene iucD, is required for oxygenation of lysine. The 63-kilodalton protein, the product of gene iucA, is assigned to the first step of the aerobactin synthetase reaction. The product of gene iucC, so far unidentified, performs the second and final step in this reaction. This is based on the chemical characterization of two precursor hydroxamic acids (N epsilon-acetyl-N epsilon-hydroxylysine and N alpha-citryl-N epsilon-acetyl-N epsilon-hydroxylysine) isolated from a strain carrying a 0.3-kilobase-pair deletion in the iucC gene. The results support the existence of a biosynthetic pathway in which aerobactin arises by oxygenation of lysine, acetylation of the N epsilon-hydroxy function, and condensation of 2 mol of the resulting aminohydroxamic acid with citric acid.

Spin trapping of methyl radicals by the acyl nitroso compound Ph--C(= O)NO formed in the photochemical reaction between benzohydroxamic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide and hydrogen peroxide. An EPR study.

By the use of EPR spectroscopy, it has been shown that acyl nitroso compounds can act as spin traps for short-lived radicals with the formation of acyl aminoxyl radicals. The reaction was studied for the system benzohydroxamic acid [Ph--C(= O)N(H)]-dimethyl sulfoxide-hydrogen peroxide. The acyl aminoxyl radicals appeared almost immediately when the reaction mixture was irradiated in situ in the EPR cavity with UV light. The trapping reaction involved two photochemical reactions, i.e. the oxidation of the hydroxamic acid to the acyl nitroso compound Ph--C(= O)NO, and the formation of methyl radicals from dimethyl sulfoxide. The EPR spectra are superpositions of the spectra of two species of acyl aminoxyl radicals, i.e. the radicals Ph--C(= O)N(O.)H formed by oxidation of the parent benzohydroxamic acid, and the radical Ph--C(= O)N(O.)CH3, formed by trapping of methyl radicals.

Gelastatins and their hydroxamates as dual functional inhibitors for TNF-alpha converting enzyme and matrix metalloproteinases: synthesis, biological evaluation, and mechanism studies.

The hydroxamic acid analogues (2) of the natural product gelastatins (1) were prepared by 1 step conversion reaction. The synthetic analogues (2) showed potent enzymatic inhibitory activities against MMP-2, MMP-9, and TACE IC50's of 6, 23, and 28 nM, respectively. In addition, 2 were able to inhibit TNF-alpha production effectively in mice as well as in a macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7. The protective effect of 2 also was examined on LPS-induced acute septic shock model. The mechanism of TNF-alpha inhibition was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. The relation of TACE and alpha-secretase was examined using cellular alpha-secretase assays on IMR-32 and SH-SY5Y cell lines. The docking mode of 2 with the catalytic domain of TACE was illustrated to analyze the binding mode for the further analogue design.

Importin alpha1 (Rch1) mediates nuclear translocation of thioredoxin-binding protein-2/vitamin D(3)-up-regulated protein 1.

Thioredoxin-binding protein-2 (TBP-2)/vitamin D(3) up-regulated protein 1 is an endogenous molecule interacting with thioredoxin (TRX), negatively regulating TRX function, and being implicated in the suppression of tumor development and metastasis. We found that TBP-2 ectopically expressed in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was localized predominantly in the nucleus exhibiting growth suppressive activity. The nuclear accumulation of endogenous TBP-2 protein was also demonstrated when the cells were treated with an anti-cancer drug, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid. To investigate the mechanism underlying the nuclear localization, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening and identified importin alpha(1) (Rch1) as a protein interacting with TBP-2. The physical interaction between TBP-2 and Rch1 was confirmed with a glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay. The interaction of TBP-2 was specific to Rch1 among other importin alpha subfamilies (Qip1 and NPI-1), and amino acids 1-227 of TBP-2 were sufficient for both the interaction with Rch1 and the nuclear localization, although there is no typical nuclear localization signal in this sequence. The expression of short interfering RNA of Rch1 suppressed suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid-induced nuclear accumulation of TBP-2. Collectively, our results strongly suggest that an interaction with importin system is required for TBP-2 nuclear translocation and growth control tightly associated with TRX-dependent redox regulation of transcription factors.
