Lipase Inhibition (lipase + inhibition)
Selected AbstractsNon-Tethered Organometallic Phosphonate Inhibitors for Lipase Inhibition: Positioning of the Metal Center in the Active Site of Cutinase,,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 28 2008Cornelis A. Kruithof Abstract Organometallic NCN-pincer complexes, bearing either a p -nitrophenyl phosphonate ester or a phosphonic acid group directly attached to the aromatic ring of the pincer complex, were synthesized. These compounds were tested as covalent inhibitors for the lipase cutinase. In a stoichiometric reaction of the NCN-pincer platinum phosphonate p -nitrophenyl ester 2 with cutinase, a 94,% conversion to the protein,pincer metal complex hybrid was obtained in 48 h. The NCN-pincer metal phosphonic acid derivatives (3, 4) appeared to be inactive as cutinase inhibitors. In contrast to our previous work which entails propyl tethered phosphonate esters connected to pincer metal complexes, the presented strategy allows positioning of metal complexes inside the active site of lipases. This opens up the possibility for fine-tuning the chemical environment (second coordination sphere) around a synthetic metal center inside the pocket of an enzyme for diagnostic and catalytic purposes.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Carbamates 1,11 are characterized as pseudo-substrate inhibitors of the enzyme. The logarithms of dissociation constant (Ki), carbamylation constant (k2), and bimolecular inhibition constant (ki) multiply linearly correlate with Hammett substituent constant (,), Taft-Kutter-Hansch ortho steric constant (ES), and Swan-Lupton field constant (F). For ,logKi -, logk2 -, and logki -correlations, values of ,, ,, f, ,XR are 0.2, ,0.06, ,1.7, 0.8; 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, ,0.07; and ,1.8, 7, 0.6, 5; respectively. The enzyme inhibition mechanism is composed of four steps: 1) the first step which is protonation of carbamates 1,11, 2) the second step (Ki1) which involves in the proton 1,3-shift of protonated carbamates 1,11 then the pseudo- trans to cis conformational change, 3) the third step (Ki2) which is formation of a negative charged enzyme-inhibitor tetrahedral intermediate, and 4) the fourth step (k2) which is the carbamylation step. The former three steps are likely composed of the Ki step. There is little ortho steric enhancement effect in the Ki step. From cross-interaction correlations, distance between carbamate and phenyl substituents in transition state for the Ki step is relatively short due to a large ,XR value of 7. The k2 step is insensitive to ortho steric effect. The k2 step involves in departure of leaving group, substituted phenol in which is protonated from the proton 1,3-shift but not from the active site histidine of the enzyme. From cross-interaction correlations, the distance between carbamate and phenyl substituents in transition state for the k2 step is relatively long due to a small ,XR value of 0.6.

Symersky Summary Background and aim:, Intraluminal nutrients stimulate superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow. Of the macronutrients, especially fat affects the magnitude of the SMA blood flow response to a meal. Little is known however on the influence of fat hydrolysis on SMA flow. Methods:, We compared in eight healthy volunteers the SMA flow response (Doppler ultrasonography) to continuous intraduodenal fat perfusion (LCT, 240 kCal h,1) during conditions with normal hydrolysis (placebo, control), increased hydrolysis (pancreatic enzyme supplementation; 50 kU lipase) and impaired hydrolysis (orlistat 240 mg). Results:, Intraduodenal LCT significantly (P<0·01) increased SMA flow in all experiments over basal. The SMA flow response to fat during pancreatic enzyme supplementation (1·49 ± 0·1 l min,1) was significantly (P<0·05) higher compared with placebo (1·11 ± 0·16 l min,1). Lipase inhibition with orlistat did not significantly affect fat stimulated SMA flow compared with placebo: 0·89 ± 0·08 l min,1 versus 1·11 ± 0·16 l min,1. Conclusions:, Administration of pancreatic enzymes significantly increases fat stimulated SMA flow. Fat digest products in the intestinal lumen contribute to the regulation of SMA blood flow. [source] Characterization of covalently inhibited extracellular lipase from Streptomyces rimosus by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization quadrupole ion trap reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometry: localization of the active site serine,JOURNAL OF MASS SPECTROMETRY (INCORP BIOLOGICAL MASS SPECTROMETRY), Issue 12 2004Martin Zehl Abstract A chemical modification approach combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry was used to identify the active site serine residue of an extracellular lipase from Streptomyces rimosus R6-554W. The lipase, purified from a high-level overexpressing strain, was covalently modified by incubation with 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin, a general mechanism-based serine protease inhibitor. MALDI time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry was used to probe the nature of the intact inhibitor-modified lipase and to clarify the mechanism of lipase inhibition by 3,4-dichloroisocoumarin. The stoichiometry of the inhibition reaction revealed that specifically one molecule of inhibitor was bound to the lipase. The MALDI matrix 2,6-dihydroxyacetophenone facilitated the formation of highly abundant [M + 2H]2+ ions with good resolution compared to other matrices in a linear TOF instrument. This allowed the detection of two different inhibitor-modified lipase species. Exact localization of the modified amino acid residue was accomplished by tryptic digestion followed by low-energy collision-induced dissociation peptide sequencing of the detected 2-(carboxychloromethyl)benzoylated peptide by means of a MALDI quadrupole ion trap reflectron TOF instrument. The high sequence coverage obtained by this approach allowed the confirmation of the site specificity of the inhibition reaction and the unambiguous identification of the serine at position 10 as the nucleophilic amino acid residue in the active site of the enzyme. This result is in agreement with the previously obtained data from multiple sequence alignment of S. rimosus lipase with different esterases, which indicated that this enzyme exhibits a characteristic Gly-Asp-Ser-(Leu) motif located close to the N-terminus and is harboring the catalytically active serine residue. Therefore, this study experimentally proves the classification of the S. rimosus lipase as GDS(L) lipolytic enzyme. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | ||||||||||
