Aldehyde oxidase activity in fresh human skin.
Human aldehyde oxidase (AO) is a molybdoflavoenzyme that commonly oxidizes azaheterocycles in therapeutic drugs. Although high metabolic clearance by AO resulted in several drug failures, existing in vitro-in vivo correlations are often poor and the extrahepatic role of AO practically unknown. This study investigated enzymatic activity of AO in fresh human skin, the largest organ of the body, f...
متن کاملInvestigation of the arylnitroso reductase activity of pig liver aldehyde reductase.
The reduction of p-nitroso-N-dimethylaniline, p-nitroso-N-diethylaniline, p-nitrosophenol and p-nitroso-N-phenylaniline with NADPH in the presence of aldehyde reductases 1 and 2 is described. The reactivity of these nitroso substrates is increased by hydrophobic substituents and those promoting OH- elimination from the molecule of the reduced substrate. NN-Dimethylbenzoquinonedi-iminium cation ...
متن کاملInhibition of human liver aldehyde oxidase: implications for potential drug-drug interactions.
During the course of our research efforts to understand the kinetics of human aldehyde oxidase as a xenobiotic-clearing enzyme, we investigated the effect of eight different inhibitors on the oxidation of the probe substrate phthalazine. Saturation kinetic parameters for phthalazine oxidation in human liver cytosol were found to be the following: K(m) = 8.0 ± 0.4 μM and V(max) = 4.3 ± 0.1 nmol ...
متن کاملA single amino acid substitution confers high cinchonidine oxidation activity comparable with that of rabbit to monkey aldehyde oxidase 1.
Aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) is a major member of the xanthine oxidase family belonging to the class of complex molybdo-flavoenzymes and plays an important role in the nucleophilic oxidation of N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds and various aldehydes. The enzyme has been well known to show remarkable species differences. Comparing the rabbit and monkey enzymes, the former showed extremely high acti...
متن کاملEffect of tea beverages on aldehyde oxidase activity.
Aldehyde oxidase (AO) plays an important role in metabolizing antitumor and antiviral drugs, including methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and acyclovir. Green tea and its catechins have been shown to modulate the activities of various xenobiotic-metabolizing cytochrome P450 species, both in vivo and in vitro, but their effect on AO has not been studied. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of tea bev...
