Antihyperglycemic activity of novel naphthalenylmethyl-3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole 2-oxides
摘要:
A series of naphthalenyl 3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole 2-oxides was prepared and tested for antihyperglycemic activity in the db/db mouse, a model for type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus. Substitution at the 1-, 5-, or 8-positions of the naphthalene ring with a halogen was found to be beneficial to antihyperglycemic activity. 4-[(5-Chloronaphthalen-2-yl)methyl]-3H-1,2,3,5-oxathiadiazole 2-oxide (45), one of the most potent compounds in this series, was selected for further pharmacological evaluation.
Bioconversion of aromatic compounds by Escherichia coli that expresses cytochrome P450 CYP153A13a gene isolated from an alkane-assimilating marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis
摘要:
The cytochrome P450 CYP153 family has been isolated from alkane-assimilating bacteria. CYP153 has been shown to mediate terminal hydroxylations of linear alkanes or alkyl aromatics. We here performed the biotransformation of various aromatic compounds by Escherichia coli cells that expressed the CYP153A13a (P450balk) gene, which was isolated from an alkane-degading marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis. Aromatic compounds including a short alkyl moiety or methyl ether moiety, and phenolic compounds were converted to their respective hydroxylated products, whose structures were determined by HRMS and NMR analyses. The present study revealed that the catalytic function of CYP153A13a is multifunctional, i.e., it can hydroxylate not only the terminal of short alkyl groups that attached to aromatic rings but also the p-position of phenolic compounds substituted with a halogen or the acetyl group. CYP153A13a was also shown to demethylate methylether-including aromatic compounds. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The present invention relates to a probe compound that can comprise any substrate or metabolite of an enzymatic reaction in addition to an indicator component, such as, for example, a fluorescence dye, or the like. Moreover, the present invention relates to means for detecting enzymes in form of an array, which comprises any number of probe compounds of the invention which each comprise a different metabolite of interconnected metabolites representing the central pathways in all forms of life. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method for detecting enzymes involving the application of cell extracts or the like to the array of the invention which leads to reproducible enzymatic reactions with the substrates. These specific enzymatic reactions trigger the indicator (e.g. a fluorescence signal) and bind the enzymes to the respective cognate substrates. Moreover, the invention relates to means for isolating enzymes in form of nanoparticles coated with the probe compound of the invention. The immobilisation of the cognate substrates or metabolites on the surface of nanoparticles by means of the probe compounds allows capturing and isolating the respective enzyme, e.g. for subsequent sequencing.
