毒理性
在体外,研究了冰片酸对菠萝蛋白酶、木瓜蛋白酶和无花果蛋白酶的影响。这些酶对酪蛋白的水解作用被冰片酸抑制,但即使有大量效应剂,抑制也总是不完全的。使用在有机汞琼脂糖亲和柱上纯化的完全激活的菠萝蛋白酶样本,冰片酸的抑制并不是计量比的。在24°C下与过量的冰片酸孵化20分钟后,半胱氨酸的SH基团保持完整。然而,通过在37°C下与5 mM半胱氨酸或2-巯基乙醇孵化5分钟,冰片酸对菠萝蛋白酶的部分抑制被逆转。乙二醇和甘油没有这种恢复作用。这些结果表明,冰片酸的分子非共价地结合到巯基蛋白酶上,只是部分地、可逆地遮蔽其关键的SH基团。
The in vitro effect of bongkrekic acid on stem bromelain, papain and ficin was studied. The hydrolysis of casein by these enzymes was inhibited by bongkrekic acid, but the inhibition was always incomplete even with a large excess of the effector. Using a fully activated specimen of stem bromelain, purified on an organomercurial agarose affinity column, the inhibition by bongkrekic acid was not stoichiometric. The SH group of cysteine remained intact after incubation with an excess of bongkrekic acid at 24 degrees C for 20 min. However, partial inhibition of stem bromelain by bongkrekic acid was reversed by incubation at 37 degrees C for 5 min with 5 mM cysteine or 2-mercaptoethanol. Ethylene glycol and glycerol had no such restorative effect. These results indicate that molecules of bongkrekic acid are non-covalently bound to a thiol protease, only partially and reversibly shielding its essential SH group.
