Biochemical bases for the antimetabolite action of L-serine hydroxamate.

The amino acid analogue l-serine hydroxamate, which is bacteriostatic for Escherichia coli, has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis. The antimetabolite is a competitive inhibitor of seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase with a K(i) value of 30 mum. Mutants resistant to l-serine hydroxamate have been selected, and three were shown to have seryl-tRNA synthetases with increased K(i) values. One mutant contains a 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase which is insensitive to inhibition by l-serine.

Monohydroxamates of aspartic acid and glutamic acid exhibit antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities.

Two monohydroxamates of l-aspartic acid beta-hydroxamate (AAH) and l-glutamic acid gamma-hydroxamate (GAH) were used for testing antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities in comparison with those of asparagine and glutamine, respectively. The half-inhibition concentrations, IC(50), of scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) were 36 and 48 microM and against superoxide radicals were 18.99 and 6.33 mM, respectively, for AAH and GAH. However, no activities of asparagine and glutamine were found. AAH and GAH also exhibited activities against peroxynitrite-mediated dihydrorhodamine 123 oxidations and hydroxyl radical-mediated DNA damage. For ACE inhibitory activities, the IC(50) values were 4.92 and 6.56 mM, respectively, for AAH and GAH. The ACE hydrolyzed products on the TLC chromatogram also confirmed the inhibitory activities of the two amino acid hydroxamates on ACE. When 1.23 mM AAH was added, AAH showed competitive inhibitions against ACE, and the apparent inhibition constant (K(i)) was 2.20 mM.

Enzymatic release of iron from sideramines in fungi. NADH:sideramine oxidoreductase in Neurospora crassa.

Young mycelia of the fungus Neurospora crassa contain a soluble NADH-linked sideramine reductase, which may be responsible for liberating iron in vivo from accumulated sideramines during iron-deficient cultivation. The enzymes can be assayed using a soluble supernatant fraction, EDTA, and an atmosphere of pure nitrogen. The enzyme is stable without loss of activity up to 45 degrees C and has an optimum of activity at pH 7.0. Besides coprogen (Km = 100 micrometer, V=2.8 nmol/min per mg protein), some other ferrichrome-type compounds are reduced. However, ferrichrome, ferrirubin coprogen B and ferrioxamine are poor substrates. When the mucelia were grown in a medium containing 10(-5) M ferri iron, the activity of the reductase was found to be only 30% of that found under low iron conditions. The enzyme is inhibited by oxygen, SH-alkylating agents and partly by some detergents. Unlike the reductase of N. crassa, the corresponding enzyme from Aspergillus fumigatus revealed low reduction of coprogen and high reduction of ferrichrome, indicating genusdependent specificities of sideramine reduction enzymes in fungi. The participation of acids of the citric acid cycle as natural iron acceptors during strong iron deficiency is studied and confirmed by iron uptake measurements on isolated mitochondria.

A zinc chelator inhibiting gelatinases exerts potent in vitro anti-invasive effects.

Matrix metalloproteinases are zinc metalloenzymes involved in remodelling of the extracellular matrix. We compared the anti-invasive properties of a zinc ejector matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor with those of reference compounds (hydroxamic acid-based BB-94 and Ro-31-9790) which form inactive ternary complexes with the enzymes and the catalytic zinc. We show that the compound undecadenedioic acid bis-[[2-(3 H-imidazol-4-yl)-ethyl]-amide] (S 30372) is active against gelatinases, chelates zinc and exhibits enzymatic features compatible with the potential to extract zinc from gelatinases. We then used five invasive cell lines in the Matrigel invasion chamber assay (NIH-3T3 fibroblasts, Lewis lung carcinoma cells, EJ138 and J82 bladder carcinoma and HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells). With the exception of J82 cells which were unaffected by the three inhibitors, all remaining cells were substantially more sensitive to S 30372 in terms of maximal inhibition of invasion attained. This suggests that matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors with zinc chelating/ejecting properties may be more efficient in preventing tumor progression.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship study on Clostridium histolyticum collagenase inhibitors: roles of electrotopological state indices.

A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study has been made on eight different series of Clostridium histolyticum collegenase (ChC) inhibitors. These series are comprised of four different groups of sulfonylated amino acids and their corresponding hydroxamates. In each series, the inhibition potency of the compounds has been found to be significantly correlated with the electrotopological state (E-state) indices of nitrogen and sulfur atoms of the sulfonylated amino group in the molecules, showing the importance of the electronic characterstics of these atoms in controlling the inhibition potency of the compounds.

Peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acid methyl esters catalyzed by N-methyl benzohydroxamic acid: a new and convenient method for selective synthesis of hydroperoxides and alcohols.

A new catalytic system, based on N-methyl benzohydroxamic acid (NMBHA), was developed for the selective synthesis of lipid hydroperoxides and alcohols by aerobic oxidation of lipid precursors. The reactions were carried out under mild conditions with air at atmospheric pressure and 37 degrees C. The products were isolated in much better yields (50-60%) as compared to previously reported procedures. NMBHA can be recovered at the end of the reaction and recycled. The putative reactive intermediate, a nitroxyl radical, readily abstracts a hydrogen atom from polyunsaturated lipid precursors such as linoleate esters, and NMBHA itself is an excellent hydrogen atom donor, thus conferring high selectivity to oxidations catalyzed by this reagent.
