1. The effects of various inhibitors and activators on the azo- and nitro-reductases of Moniezia expansa have been studied. Both reductions were partially inhibited by FAD, FMN, riboflavin, allopurinol, dicoumarol, 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde, azide and cyanide at 1 mM. Both reactions were stimulated by hypoxanthine. Menadione, nitrofurantoin, SKF 525-A (2-diethylaminoethyl 2,2-diphenylvalerate) and fluoride were without effect. 2. Xanthine- and aldehyde-oxidase activities were not detected in the enzyme preparation. 3. The substrate specificity of the azo- and nitro-reductases were determined. Azobenzene, 4-dimethylamino-azobenzene and 1,2-dimethyl-4-(4-carboxyphenylazo)-5-hydroxybenzene, nitrobenzene, 4-nitrohippuric acid and the isomers of nitrophenol, nitroanisole, nitrobenzoic acid, nitrobenzaldehyde and nitrobenzyl alcohol were reduced. Nitrobenzaldehyde isomers were not reduced to the alcohols and the coumaric acids were not reduced to the phenylpropionic acids. 4. The products of azo- and nitro-reduction were the corresponding amines; hydroxylamino- and hydrazo-compounds were not detected. 5. The pH optima and cofactor requirements were the same for both azo- and nitro-reduction. Neither reaction was inhibited by oxygen.

The kinetics of benzaldehyde formation during the oxidation of benzylamine by pig plasma benzylamine oxidase have been studied at different pH values. It has been shown that the first step of the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is the formation of a Schiff base between the amino group of the substrate and the aldehyde group of the enzyme. Present kinetic studies are consistent with this mechanism and demonstrate the existence of two steps which are alternatively rate-limiting one below pH 6.0, the other above this pH value. The rate-limiting step above pH 6.0 requires the participation of OH-. A mechanism of reaction has been proposed in which the release of products follows the sequence: hydrogen peroxide, aldehyde, ammonia.

Stopped-flow experiments in which sheep liver cytoplasmic aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) was rapidly mixed with NAD(+) and aldehyde showed a burst of NADH formation, followed by a slower steady-state turnover. The kinetic data obtained when the relative concentrations and orders of mixing of NAD(+) and propionaldehyde with the enzyme were varied were fitted to the following mechanism: [Formula: see text] where the release of NADH is slow. By monitoring the quenching of protein fluorescence on the binding of NAD(+), estimates of 2x10(5) litre.mol(-1).s(-1) and 2s(-1) were obtained for k(+1) and k(-1) respectively. Although k(+3) could be determined from the dependence of the burst rate constant on the concentration of propionaldehyde to be 11s(-1), k(+2) and k(-2) could not be determined uniquely, but could be related by the equation: (k(-2)+k(+3))/k(+2) =50x10(-6)mol.litre(-1). No significant isotope effect was observed when [1-(2)H]propionaldehyde was used as substrate. The burst rate constant was pH-dependent, with the greatest rate constants occurring at high pH. Similar data were obtained by using acetaldehyde, where for this substrate (k(-2)+k(+3))/k(+2)=2.3x10 (-3)mol.litre(-1) and k(+3) is 23s(-1). When [1,2,2,2-(2)H]acetaldehyde was used, no isotope effect was observed on k(+3), but there was a significant effect on k(+2) and k(-2). A burst of NADH production has also been observed with furfuraldehyde, trans-4-(NN-dimethylamino)cinnamaldehyde, formaldehyde, benzaldehyde, 4-(imidazol-2-ylazo)benzaldehyde, p-methoxybenzaldehyde and p-methylbenzaldehyde as substrates, but not with p-nitrobenzaldehyde.

Procedures for the purification of an aldehyde dehydrogenase from extracts of the obligate methylotroph, Methylomonas methylovora are described. The purified enzyme is homogeneous as judged from polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In the presence of an artificial electron acceptor (phenazine methosulfate), the purified enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of straight chain aldehydes (C1--C10 tested), aromatic aldehydes (benzaldehyde, salicylaldehyde), glyoxylate, and glyceraldehyde. Biological electron acceptors such as NAD+, NADP+, FAD, FMN, pyridoxal phosphate, and cytochrome c cannot act as electron carriers. The activity of the enzyme is inhibited by sulfhydryl agents [p-chloromercuribenzoate, N-ethylmaleimide and 5,5-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid)], cuprous chloride, and ferrour nitrate. The molecular weight of the enzyme as estimated by gel filtration is approximately 45000 and the subunit size determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis is approximately 23000. The purified enzyme is light brown and has an absorption peak at 410 nm. Reduction of enzyme with sodium dithionite or aldehyde substrate resulted in the appearance of peaks at 523 nm and 552nm. These results suggest that the enzyme is a hemoprotein. There was no evidence that flavins were present as prosthetic group. The amino acid composition of the enzyme is also presented.

The transient-state kinetics of enzymic reduction of acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde by NADH, catalyzed by horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase, have been examined under single-turnover conditions, obtained by carrying out reactions either with limiting amounts of enzyme in the presence of 20 mM pyrazole or with limiting amounts of substrate. Analysis of the variation with substrate, coenzyme, and enzyme concentrations of amplitudes and time constants for the exponential transients observed at 328 nm and 300 nm shows that the kinetics of enzymic aldehyde reduction are qualitatively and quantitatively consistent with the relationships derived in the preceding paper for an ordered ternary-complex mechanism involving identical and independent catalytic sites. It is concluded that there is no evidence whatsoever for the kinetic significance of a half-of-the-sites reactivity or any other kind of subunit interaction in the liver alcohol dehydrogenase system. The biphasic transients observed at 328 nm for the reduction of aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde are a normal kinetic characteristic of the ordered ternary-complex mechanism, being attributable to accumulation of the ternary enzyme-NAD-product complex when product dissociation from this complex is slow in comparison to its formation by ternary-complex interconversion.

The effect of pH on steady state kinetic parameters for the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reduction of aldehydes and oxidation of alcohols has been studied. The oxidation of p-CH3 benzyl alcohol-1,1-h2 and -1,1-d2 by NAD+ was found to be characterized by large deuterium isotope effects (kH/kD = 4.1 plus or minus 0.1) between pH 7.5 and 9.5, indicating a rate-limiting hydride trahsfer step in this pH range; a plot of kCAT versus pH could be fit to a theoretical titration curve, pK = 8.25, where kCAT increases with increasing pH. The Michaelis constnat for p-CH3 benzyl alcohol was independent of pH. The reduction of p-CH3 benzaldehyde by NADH and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide with deuterium in the 4-A position (NADD) cound not be studied below pH 8.5 due to substrate inhibition; however, between pH 8.5 and 9.5, kCAT was found to decrease with increasing pH and to be characterized by significant isotope effects (kH/kD = 3.3 plus or minus 0.3). In the case of acetaldehyde reduction by NADH and NADD, isotope effects were found to be small and exxentially invariant (kH/kD = 2.O plus or minus 0.4) between pH 7.2 and 9.5, suggesting a partially rate-limiting hydride transger step for this substrate; a plot of kCAT/K'b (where K'b is the Michaelis constant for acetaldehyde) versus pH could be fit to a titration curve, pK = 8.25. The titration curve for acetaldehyde reduction has the same pK but is opposite in direction to that observed for p-CH3 benzyl alcohol oxidation. The data presented in this paper indicate a dependence on different enzyme forms for aldehyde reduction and alcohol oxidation and are consistent with a single active site side chain, pK = 8.25, which functions in acid-base catalysis of the hydride transfer step.

A spectrophotometric method for the analysis of fenclorac and its metabolite, 3-chloro-4-cyclohexylbenzeneglycolic acid, in human serum was developed. The parent compound represented at least 90% of the total species present in blood; the metabolite was present to the extent of about 10%, primarily in the elimination phase. The basic procedure consists of extraction of both compounds from serum, further extraction to remove interfering substances, alkaline conversion of fenclorac to the alpha-hydroxy acid metabolite, oxidation of this metabolite to the corresponding benzaldehyde derivative, and spectrophotometric measurement of the absorbance of the aldehyde at 252 nm. A comparison of serum concentrations obtained by this method with concentrations calculated from 14C-data following oral administration of 1-14C-fenclorac to eight normal adult volunteers indicated a 90% correlation between methodologies over a range of 1.4-25.5 microgram of fenclorac/ml of serum.

L-Serine transhydroxymethylase (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate:glycine hydroxymethyltransferase, EC 2.1.2.1) a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, has been obtained as a homogeneous preparation with a specific activity of 6.7 mumol benzaldehyde per minute at 30 degrees C at pH 7.5 in N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (Hepes) buffer, with DL-threo-beta-phenylserine as a substrate. This enzyme has been used to study the specificity of bond cleavage in forming quinonoid intermediates from DL and non-asymmetric amino acids. The ability of the generated quinonoids to react with formaldehyde and acetaldehyde has also been studied and evidence obtained for formation of the corresponding beta-hydroxymethyl and beta-hydroxyethyl amino acid derivaties. Apotranshydroxymethylase has been prepared and the rate of holoenzyme formation was found to be 0.52 min-1 by measuring Schiff base formation at 425 nm and 0.66 min-1 as determined from restoration of enzymic activity. A requirement for the presence of mercaptoethanol for complete reactivation was also established by these studies.

Closed patch tests with balsam of Peru gave rise to nine immediate reactions among 121 patients with different dermatoses and to 10 reactions among 57 patients with chronic urticaria. Among compounds of balsam of Peru, cinnamic aldehyde, cinnamic acid benzoic acid and benzaldehyde also gave the same reactions. The reactions could not passively be transferred with serum from patients. They were abolished by antihistamine given before testing, and by pretreatment with compound 48/80. Balsam of Peru and cinnamic aldehyde did not provoke new symptoms when given orally to patients.

The reaction of 2-aminopyrimidine with benzaldehyde in all applied methods yielded instead of benzal-2-aminopyrimidine (1) regardless of the procedure used, N.N'-benzilidene-bis-2-aminopyrimidine (2). The expected product benzal-2-aminopyrimidine has not been formed in any case. For this reason the synthesis of aminoalkanesulfonic acids has not been carried out by the use of Schiff bases as starting material. Reaction of aldehyde bisulfite adducts and corresponding amine, was used instead. In the syntheses where 2-aminopyridine was used as the amine part, the corresponding aminoalkanesulfonic acids were formed (3--5), while 2-aminopyrimidine under the same condition gave several reaction products (6--10). All compounds obtained were tested for their growth inhibitory activity on the seeds of cress (Lepidium sativum L.).
