Activity of Debaryomyces hansenii UFV-1 α-galactosidases against α-d-galactopyranoside derivatives
摘要:
alpha-D-Galactopyranosides were synthesized and their inhibitory activities toward the Debatyomyces hansenil UFV-1 extracellular and intracellular alpha-galactosidases were evaluated. Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside was the most potent inhibitor compared to the others tested, with K'(i) values of 0.82 and 1.12 mmol L-1, for extracellular and intracellular enzymes, respectively. These results indicate that the presence of a hydroxyl group in the C-6 position of alpha-D-galactopyranoside derivatives is important for the recognition by D. hansenii UFV-1 alpha-galactosidases.
