N-acetylation of etamicastat, a reversible dopamine-β-hydroxylase inhibitor.
Etamicastat [(R)-5-(2-aminoethyl)-1-(6,8-difluorochroman-3-yl)-1H-imidazole-2(3H)-thione hydrochloride] is a reversible dopamine-β-hydroxylase inhibitor that decreases norepinephrine levels in sympathetically innervated tissues. After in vivo administration, N-acetylation of etamicastat was found to be a main metabolic pathway. The purpose of the current study was to characterize the N-acetylat...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) genes in cattle breeds
DNA from four cattle breeds was used to re-sequence all of the exons and 56% of the introns of the bovine tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene and 97% and 13% of the bovine dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) coding and non-coding sequences, respectively. Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a microsatellite motif were found in the TH sequences. The DBH sequences contained 62 nucleotide chan...
متن کاملDopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency
Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DbetaH) deficiency is a very rare form of primary autonomic failure characterized by a complete absence of noradrenaline and adrenaline in plasma together with increased dopamine plasma levels. The prevalence of DbetaH deficiency is unknown. Only a limited number of cases with this disease have been reported. DbetaH deficiency is mainly characterized by cardiovascular...
متن کاملSerum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity.
Dopamine-yS-liydroxylase, the enzyme which converts dopamine to norepinephrine, is released into the perfusate upon stimulation of the isolated perfused adrenal gland and after stimulation of the nerves to the isolated perfused spleen. This study was undertaken to determine whether dopamine-/?hydroxylase activity could be detected circulating in blood. By using a sensitive new enzymatic assay, ...
متن کاملEffects of pharmacologic dopamine β-hydroxylase inhibition on cocaine-induced reinstatement and dopamine neurochemistry in squirrel monkeys.
Disulfiram has shown promise as a pharmacotherapy for cocaine dependence in clinical settings, although it has many targets, and the behavioral and molecular mechanisms underlying its efficacy are unclear. One of many biochemical actions of disulfiram is inhibition of dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH), the enzyme that converts dopamine (DA) to norepinephrine (NE) in noradrenergic neurons. Thus, disu...
