El Zein R, Ispas-Szabo P, Jafari M, Siaj M, Mateescu MA. Oxidation of Mesalamine under Phenoloxidase- or Peroxidase-like Enzyme Catalysis. Molecules 2023; 28:8105. [PMID: 38138595 PMCID: PMC10871084 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28248105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Mesalamine, also called 5-ASA (5-aminosalicylic acid), is a largely used anti-inflammatory agent and is a main choice to treat Ulcerative Colitis. This report is aimed to investigate enzymatic processes involved in the oxidation of mesalamine to better understand some of its side-effects. Oxidation with oxygen (catalyzed by ceruloplasmin) or with hydrogen peroxide (catalyzed by peroxidase or hemoglobin) showed that these oxidases, despite their different mechanisms of oxidation, could recognize mesalamine as a substrate and trigger its oxidation to a corresponding quinone-imine. These enzymes were chosen because they may recognize hydroquinone (a p-diphenol) as substrate and oxidize it to p-benzoquinone and that mesalamine, as a p-aminophenol, presents some similarities with hydroquinone. The UV-Vis kinetics, FTIR and 1H NMR supported the hypothesis of oxidizing mesalamine. Furthermore, mass spectrometry suggested the quinone-imine as reaction product. Without enzymes, the oxidation process was very slow (days and weeks), but it was markedly accelerated with the oxidases, particularly with peroxidase. Cyclic voltammetry supported the hypothesis of the oxidative process and allowed a ranking of susceptibility to oxidizing mesalamine in comparison with other oxidizable drug molecules with related structures. The susceptibility to oxidation was higher for mesalamine, in comparison with Tylenol (acetaminophen) and with aspirin (salicylic acid).

Kinetic and Regulatory Properties of Yarrowia lipolytica Aconitate Hydratase as a Model-Indicator of Cell Redox State under pH Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24087670. [PMID: 37108831 PMCID: PMC10143702 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24087670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of the regulation activity of the partially purified preparations of cellular aconitate hydratase (AH) on the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica cultivated at extreme pH. As a result of purification, enzyme preparations were obtained from cells grown on media at pH 4.0, 5.5, and 9.0, purified by 48-, 46-, and 51-fold and having a specific activity of 0.43, 0.55 and 0.36 E/mg protein, respectively. The kinetic parameters of preparations from cells cultured at extreme pH demonstrated: (1) an increase in the affinity for citrate and isocitrate; and (2) a shift in the pH optima to the acidic and alkaline side in accordance with the modulation of the medium pH. The regulatory properties of the enzyme from cells subjected to alkaline stress showed increased sensitivity to Fe2+ ions and high peroxide resistance. Reduced glutathione (GSH) stimulated AH, while oxidized glutathione (GSSG) inhibited AH. A more pronounced effect of both GSH and GSSG was noted for the enzyme obtained from cells grown at pH 5.5. The data obtained provide new approaches to the use of Y. lipolytica as a model of eukaryotic cells demonstrating the development of a stress-induced pathology and to conducting a detailed analysis of enzymatic activity for its correction.

Abstract
A Cu-based catalyst system convergently couples gem-difluoroalkenes with phenols under aerobic conditions to deliver α,α-difluorinated-α-phenoxyketones, an unstudied hybrid fluorinated functional group. Composed of α,α-difluorinated ketone and α,α-difluorinated ether moieties, these compounds have rarely been reported as a synthetic intermediate. Computational predictions and later experimental corroboration suggest that the phenoxy-substituted fluorinated ketone's sp3-hybridized hydrate form is energetically favored relative to the respective nonether variant and that perturbation of the electronic character of the ketone can further encourage the formation of the hydrate. The more facile conversion between ketone and hydrate forms suggests that analogues should readily covalently inhibit proteases and other enzymes. Further functionalization of the ketone group enables access to other useful fluorinated functional groups.
