1) ADP was a potent inhibitor of the ascorbic-2-sulfate sulfohydrolase activity of Charonia lampas liver. The inhibition was competitive with respect to ascorbate 2-sulfate. The Ki value was 5.9 muM. ADP did not inhibit arylsulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1) of the same organism. 2) Other nucleoside 5'-diphosphates and GTP showed similar inhibition of ascorbate-2-sulfate sulfohydrolase activity. 3) The effects of different nucleosides, nucleotides, and sugar phosphates on ascorbate-2-sulfate sulfohydrolase activity were investigated. Phosphate derivatives other than 3',5'-cyclic AMP were more or less inhibitory.

Steroid sulfatase enzymes participate greatly in reproductive events. To date, estrogen sulfatase seems to have a regulatory role in the control of free estrogen levels in target tissues. The present study evaluates the participation of some adenine nucleotides in estrogen sulfatase kinetics. Using ADP, ATP, NAD and the combination of ADP + NAD or ATP + NAD it was found that adding either of the combined cofactors, the enzymatic activity increased more than 2.0 times. In ovariectomized rats, the corresponding mean enzyme activity was found to be higher than in intact rats. It was also found, in ovariectomized rats treated with ovarian hormones, an inhibition that was higher with estradiol-17 beta than with progesterone treatment. This data suggests that the estrogen sulfatase, being a hormone-dependent enzyme, participates in a new control mechanism of estrogen levels in presence of some cofactors and free steroids.

Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (DBcAMP) has been reported to cause numerous alterations in the activity of hepatic monooxygenase enzymes following in vivo administration or in vitro addition to intact liver preparations. In the present report the effect of the nucleotide on metabolism of p-nitroanisole (pNA) and aniline was studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. Initial studies indicated that in vitro addition of DBcAMP to hepatocytes increased metabolism of both pNA and aniline as determined by the production of oxidized metabolites, p-nitrophenol (pNP) and p-aminophenol, respectively. After enzymatic hydrolysis with beta-glucuronidase and arylsulfatase, it was determined that DBcAMP had increased accumulation of pNP formed from pNA by inhibiting further metabolism via conjugation reactions. Further studies using pNP directly as substrate confirmed the finding and revealed that glucuronidation was more sensitive to the inhibitory effect of DBcAMP than was sulfation. The 8-bromo derivative of cAMP was more potent than DBcAMP at inhibiting glucuronidation, whereas cyclic AMP and dibutyryl cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate were without effect. Noncyclic adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP) also altered pNA and pNP metabolism. ATP and ADP increased pNP accumulation from pNA while ATP and AMP inhibited glucuronidation of pNP. DBcAMP was further found to decrease UDP-glucuronic acid levels in a concentration-dependent manner without disrupting the redox state (NAD+/NADH) in hepatocytes. The data suggest that adenine nucleotides exert a nonspecific inhibition upon glucuronidation and sulfation reactions.
