Pentamines as substrate for human spermine oxidase.
Substrate activities of various linear polyamines to human spermine oxidase (hSMO) were investigated. The activities were evaluated by monitoring the amount of H2O2 released from sample polyamines by hSMO. H2O2 was measured by a HPLC method that analyzed fluorescent dimers derived from the oxidation of homovanillic acid in the presence of horseradish peroxidase. Six triamines were tested and we...
متن کاملFluorimetric assay for D-amino acid oxidase activity in rat brain homogenate by using D-kynurenine as a substrate.
An easy fluorimetric assay for measuring D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) activity by using one of the D-amino acids--D-kynurenine (D-KYN)--as a substrate was applied to assess DAAO activity in the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem of Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats. In this assay, DAAO produces kynurenic acid (KYNA) from D-KYN, and the fluorescence originating from KYNA can then be used to evaluate...
متن کاملQM/MM Study on the Mechanism of Aminophenol Oxidation by Functionalized β-Cyclodextrin as Oxidase Nanomimic
In this study, functionalized β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) by aldehyde group was investigated as an oxidase enzyme mimic for the amino phenol oxidation. All calculations were performed by GAUSSIAN 09 package using two layers ONIOM method at the ONIOM (MPW1PW91/6-311++G(d,p)/UFF) level. In the first step, H2O2 is encapsulated in the hydrophobic cavity. In the second step, H2<...
متن کاملInhibition of D-amino acid oxidase activity by antipsychotic drugs evaluated by a fluorometric assay using D-kynurenine as substrate.
A facile fluorometric assay using D-kynurenine as a substrate was utilized for evaluating the inhibition of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO), which is one of the products of a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia, by commercial antipsychotic drugs, namely, chlorpromazine (CPZ), carbamazepine, sulpiride, quetiapine, and imipramine. CPZ inhibited DAAO (65.8 ± 13.2 μM, n = 3) as reported previously, a...
متن کاملEffects of Dopamine in man.
• Dopamine (3, 4-dihydroxyphenylethylainine) is the biochemical precursor of norepinephrine and differs structurally from that amine only in that it lacks a /?-OH group. There have been many pharmacological studies of dopamine in the experimental animal, but no detailed investigations have been made in man. In a previous study from this laboratory, intravenous administration of dopamine to hype...
