Identification of analogues of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide among the metabolites of 2,6-diaminopurine in mammalian cells.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experimental evidence indicates that an analogue of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide in which the adenine moiety is replaced by 2,6-diaminopurine is formed when cultured mammalian cells are grown in the presence of 2,6diaminopurine. It is also likely that the corresponding analogue containing nicotinic acid is formed when both 2,6-diaminopurine and nicotinic acid are added to the culture medium.

Since Hitchings et al. (1, 2) first demonstrated that 2,6-diaminopurine inhibited Lactobacillus casei, DAPl has been shown to inhibit growth or multiplication in a wide variety of biological systems including mammals, tumors, birds, plants, viruses, and numerous bacteria. Although DAP is not incorporated per se into the nucleic acids, incorporation does occur after conversion to adenine and gua...
متن کاملVerifying of Participation of Nitric Oxide in Morphine Place Conditioning in the Rat Medial Septum Using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d)
Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....
متن کاملGermination requirements of Bacillus macerans spores.
2-Phenylacetamide is an effective germinant for spores of five strains of Bacillus macerans, particularly in the presence of fructose. Benzyl penicillin, the phenyl acetamide derivative of penicillin, and phenylacetic acid are also good germinants. l-Asparagine is an excellent germinant for four strains. alpha-Amino-butyric acid is moderately effective. Pyridoxine, pyridoxal, adenine, and 2,6-d...
متن کاملBioengineering of Important Secondary Metabolites and Metabolic Pathways in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.)
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) has a long and respected history of medicinal uses in Middle East and Persian medicine. The hypocholesterolaemic and hypoglycaemic effects of fenugreek were attributed to its major steroidal sapogenin, diosgenin and its major alkaloid, trigonelline. The knowledge of diosgenin and trigonelline biosynthesis is derived from studies of cholesterol and nicoti...
متن کاملDesign, synthesis and SAR studies of NAD analogues as potent inhibitors towards CD38 NADase.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), one of the most important coenzymes in the cells, is a substrate of the signaling enzyme CD38, by which NAD is converted to a second messenger, cyclic ADP-ribose, which releases calcium from intracellular calcium stores. Starting with 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinosyl-β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (ara-F NAD), a series of NAD analogues were synthesized ...
