Abstract
Secondary sulfonamides (4a–8h) incorporating acetoxybenzamide, triacetoxybenzamide, hydroxybenzamide, and trihydroxybenzamide and possessing thiazole, pyrimidine, pyridine, isoxazole and thiadiazole groups were synthesized. Lactoperoxidase (LPO, E.C.1.11.1.7), as a natural antibacterial agent, is a peroxidase enzyme secreted from salivary, mammary, and other mucosal glands. In the present study, the in vitro inhibitory effects of some secondary sulfonamide derivatives (4a–8h) were examined against LPO. The obtained results reveal that secondary sulfonamide derivatives (4a–8h) are effective LPO inhibitors. The Ki values of secondary sulfonamide derivatives (4a–8h) were found in the range of 1.096 × 10−3 to 1203.83 µM against LPO. However, the most effective inhibition was found for N-(sulfathiazole)-3,4,5-triacetoxybenzamide (6a), with Ki values of 1.096 × 10−3 ± 0.471 × 10−3 µM as non-competitive inhibition.

Abstract
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a natural polyphenol contained in many aromatic plants with promising biological activities. Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are widespread and intensively studied metalloenzymes present in higher vertebrates. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7) is intimately associated with the normal neurotransmission by catalysing the hydrolysis of acetylcholine to acetate and choline and acts in combination with butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) to remove acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft. Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is an enzyme involved in fighting pathogenic microorganisms, whereas glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are dimeric proteins present both in prokaryotic and in eukaryotic organisms and involved in cellular detoxification mechanisms. In the present study, the inhibition effects of rosmarinic acid on tumour-associated carbonic anhydrase IX and XII isoenzymes, AChE, BChE, LPO and GST enzymes were evaluated. Rosmarinic acid inhibited these enzymes with Kis in the range between micromolar to picomolar. The best inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid was observed against both AChE and BChE.

Abstract
Numerous studies signify that diets rich in phytochemicals offer many beneficial functions specifically during pathologic conditions, yet their effects are often not uniform due to inter-individual variation. The host indigenous gut microbiota and their modifications of dietary phytochemicals have emerged as factors that greatly influence the efficacy of phytoceutical-based intervention. Here, we investigated the biological activities of one such active microbial metabolite, Urolithin A (UA or 3,8-dihydroxybenzo[c]chromen-6-one), which is derived from the ellagic acid (EA). Our study demonstrates that UA potently inhibits heme peroxidases i.e. myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) when compared to the parent compound EA. In addition, chrome azurol S (CAS) assay suggests that EA, but not UA, is capable of binding to Fe3+, due to its catechol-like structure, although its modest heme peroxidase inhibitory activity is abrogated upon Fe3+-binding. Interestingly, UA-mediated MPO and LPO inhibition can be prevented by innate immune protein human NGAL or its murine ortholog lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), implying the complex nature of host innate immunity-microbiota interactions. Spectral analysis indicates that UA inhibits heme peroxidase-catalyzed reaction by reverting the peroxidase back to its inactive native state. In support of these in vitro results, UA significantly reduced phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced superoxide generation in neutrophils, however, EA failed to block the superoxide generation. Treatment with UA significantly reduced PMA-induced mouse ear edema and MPO activity compared to EA treated mice. Collectively, our results demonstrate that microbiota-mediated conversion of EA to UA is advantageous to both host and microbiota i.e. UA-mediated inhibition of pro-oxidant enzymes reduce tissue inflammation, mitigate non-specific killing of gut bacteria, and abrogate iron-binding property of EA, thus providing a competitive edge to the microbiota in acquiring limiting nutrient iron and thrive in the gut.

Abstract
The binding and structural studies of bovine lactoperoxidase with three aromatic ligands, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), salicylhydoxamic acid (SHA), and benzylhydroxamic acid (BHA) show that all the three compounds bind to lactoperoxidase at the substrate binding site on the distal heme side. The binding of ASA occurs without perturbing the position of conserved heme water molecule W-1, whereas both SHA and BHA displace it by the hydroxyl group of their hydroxamic acid moieties. The acetyl group carbonyl oxygen atom of ASA forms a hydrogen bond with W-1, which in turn makes three other hydrogen-bonds, one each with heme iron, His-109 N(epsilon2), and Gln-105 N(epsilon2). In contrast, in the complexes of SHA and BHA, the OH group of hydroxamic acid moiety in both complexes interacts with heme iron directly with Fe-OH distances of 3.0 and 3.2A respectively. The OH is also hydrogen bonded to His-109 N(epsilon2) and Gln-105N(epsilon2). The plane of benzene ring of ASA is inclined at 70.7 degrees from the plane of heme moiety, whereas the aromatic planes of SHA and BHA are nearly parallel to the heme plane with inclinations of 15.7 and 6.2 degrees , respectively. The mode of ASA binding provides the information about the mechanism of action of aromatic substrates, whereas the binding characteristics of SHA and BHA indicate the mode of inhibitor binding.

Abstract
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the structure of product-inhibited mammalian peroxidase. Lactoperoxidase is a heme containing an enzyme that catalyzes the inactivation of a wide range of microorganisms. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, it preferentially converts thiocyanate ion into a toxic hypothiocyanate ion. Samples of bovine lactoperoxidase containing thiocyanate (SCN(-)) and hypothiocyanate (OSCN(-)) ions were purified and crystallized. The structure was determined at 2.3-A resolution and refined to R(cryst) and R(free) factors of 0.184 and 0.221, respectively. The determination of structure revealed the presence of an OSCN(-) ion at the distal heme cavity. The presence of OSCN(-) ions in crystal samples was also confirmed by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. The OSCN(-) ion interacts with the heme iron, Gln-105 N(epsilon1), His-109 N(epsilon2), and a water molecule W96. The sulfur atom of the OSCN(-) ion forms a hypervalent bond with a nitrogen atom of the pyrrole ring D of the heme moiety at an S-N distance of 2.8 A. The heme group is covalently bound to the protein through two ester linkages involving carboxylic groups of Glu-258 and Asp-108 and the modified methyl groups of pyrrole rings A and C, respectively. The heme moiety is significantly distorted from planarity, whereas pyrrole rings A, B, C, and D are essentially planar. The iron atom is displaced by approximately 0.2 A from the plane of the heme group toward the proximal site. The substrate channel resembles a long tunnel whose inner walls contain predominantly aromatic residues such as Phe-113, Phe-239, Phe-254, Phe-380, Phe-381, Phe-422, and Pro-424. A phosphorylated Ser-198 was evident at the surface, in the proximity of the calcium-binding channel.

Abstract
In vitro effects of ketamine and bupivacaine drugs on bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO; E.C. 1.11.1.7) enzyme activity were investigated. Lactoperoxidase was purified with Amberlite CG 50 resin, CM Sephadex C-50 ion-exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography from skimmed bovine milk. Rz(A412/A280) value for the purified LPO was found to be 0.8. Inhibition or activation effects of the drugs on LPO enzyme were determined using 2,2(1)-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6 sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) as a chromogenic substrate at pH = 6.0. The I50 values of ketamine and bupivacaine were 0.29 mM and 0.155 mM, respectively and the K(i) constants for ketamine and bupivacaine were 0.019 +/- 0.031 and 0.015 +/- 0.021 mM, respectively; they were non-competitive inhibitors.

Abstract
Oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) by lactoperoxidase was found to be inhibited by tyrosine-containing random amino acid copolymers but not by tyrosine. Both electrostatic effects and polymer size were found to be important by comparison of negatively and positively charged copolymers of varying lengths, with poly(Glu, Tyr)4:1 ([E 4Y 1] approximately 40) as the strongest competitive inhibitor (EC 50 approximately 20 nM). This polymer did not form dityrosine in the presence of lactoperoxidase (LPO) and peroxide. Furthermore, incubation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, as opposed to hydrogen peroxide, resulted in a peculiar long lag phase of the reaction between the redox intermediate compound II and [E 4Y 1] approximately 40, indicating a very tight association between enzyme and inhibitor. We propose that interactions between multiple positively charged areas on the surface of LPO and the polymer are required for optimal inhibition.

Abstract
Inositol phosphoglycan-like compounds are produced by the hydrolysis of the membrane bound glycosyl phosphoinositides. Besides being short term mediators of insulin action, they inhibit peroxidases and catalase, increasing the concentration of cellular hydrogen peroxide. Although high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide are toxic, moderate increases of its basal level are signals for different metabolic pathways. The inhibitor, localized in the cytosol of the cell, acts on peroxidases and catalase of the same tissue (homologous action) and of other tissues or organisms (heterologous action). The inositol phosphoglycan-like compound inhibits peroxidases with different prosthetic groups, i.e. containing iron such as: thyroid peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase, soy bean peroxidase; and containing selenium such as glutathione peroxidase and 2-cys peroxiredoxin with no prosthetic group. Besides peroxidases, the inositol phosphoglycan-like compound inhibits catalase, another heme enzyme. The inhibition kinetics demonstrates a noncompetitive effect. The site of action is not the prosthetic group, given that the inhibitor does not produce any effect on the peak in the Soret region in the presence or absence of hydrogen peroxide. In conclusion, the inositol phosphoglycan-like compound is the general inhibitor of peroxidases and catalase involved in the modulation of hydrogen peroxide level that acts in different metabolic pathways as a signal transducer.

Abstract
Syntheses and characterization of the selenium analogue (MSeI) of anti-thyroid drug methimazole and a series of organoselenium compounds bearing N-methylimidazole pharmacophore are described. In contrast to the sulfur compound that exists predominantly in its thione form, the selenium analogue exists in a selenol form, which spontaneously oxidizes in air to produce the corresponding diselenide. The reduction of the diselenide by GSH or NaBH(4) affords the biologically active selenol, which effectively inhibits the lactoperoxidase (LPO) activity in vitro. The monoselenides having N-methylimidazole moiety are found to be much less active than the selenol, suggesting that the presence of a selenol moiety is important for the LPO inhibition. The kinetic and mechanistic studies reveal that MSeI inhibits the LPO activity by reducing the H(2)O(2), providing a novel method to reversibly inhibit the enzyme. Although MSeI strongly inhibits LPO, the enzyme's activity can be completely recovered by increasing the H(2)O(2) concentration. On the other hand, the inhibition by methimazole (MMI), the sulfur analogue, cannot be reversed by increasing the H(2)O(2) concentration, leading to a complete inactivation of the enzyme. The reversible inhibition of LPO by some of the selenium derivatives is correlated with their glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, and the high GPx activity of the selenium compounds as compared with their sulfur analogues suggests that the selenium derivatives may protect the thyroid gland from oxidative damage.

Abstract
2-Mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI), a rubber antioxidant, is known to exhibit potent thyroid toxicity in rats, whereas its methylated derivatives are much less toxic. To characterize this methyl-substituent effect on the thyroid toxicity of MBI, comparative toxicokinetic analyses have been conducted in the present study. MBI and the MMBIs [4-methylated MBI (4-MMBI) and 5-methylated MBI (5-MMBI), and a 1:1 mixture of these 4- and 5-methylated isomers (MMBI mix)] suspended in corn oil were repeatedly administered (at 0.3-0.6 mmol/kg) to male Wistar rats by gavage once daily for 2 weeks. After the first and last administrations, blood and urine samples were collected, and the levels of unchanged compounds and their desulfurated metabolites were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. After repeated oral administration (roa), the C(max) and area under concentration-time curve (AUC) of MBI were markedly increased, while the MMBIs essentially were cleared from the blood within 10 h. After roa, the C(max) and AUC of 4-MMBI decreased markedly, suggesting metabolic enzyme induction. However, the toxicokinetic parameters of 5-MMBI were not markedly altered by roa. The inhibitory potencies (IC(50)) against lactoperoxidase of MBI, 4-MMBI, and 5-MMBI were 20.6 micro M, 45.6 micro M and 31.6 micro M, respectively. Thus, we suggest that the marked decrease of thyroid toxicity by methyl substitution of MBI is caused mainly by a decrease in systemic exposure to the compounds and partly by a decrease in inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesis.

Abstract
Some compounds having thionamide structure inhibit thyroid functions. Such antithyroid thionamides include mercaptomethylimidazole (methimazole), thiourea and propylthiouracil, of which mercaptomethylimidazole is widely used to treat hyperthyroidism. Undesirable side effects develop from these drugs due to extrathyroidal actions. Antithyroid thionamides inhibit lactoperoxidase which contributes to the antibacterial activities of a number of mammalian exocrine gland secretions that protect a variety of mucosal surfaces. These drugs stimulate both gastric acid and pepsinogen secretions, thereby augmenting the severity of gastric ulcers and preventing wound healing. Increased gastric acid secretion is partially due to the H2 receptor activation, and also through the stimulation of the parietal cell by intracellular generation of H2O2 following inactivation of the gastric peroxidase-catalase system. Severe abnormalities may develop in blood cells and the immune system after thionamide therapy. It causes agranulocytosis, aplastic anemia, and purpura along with immune suppression. Olfactory and auditory systems are also affected by these drugs. Thionamide affects the sense of smell and taste and also causes loss of hearing. It binds to the Bowman's glands in the olfactory mucosa and causes extensive lesion in the olfactory mucosa. Thionamides also affect gene expression and modulate the functions of some cell types. A brief account of the chemistry and metabolism of antithyroid thionamides, along with their biological actions are presented.

Abstract
The peroxidase from Coprinus cinereus (CPX) catalyzed oxidative oligomerization of 4-chloroaniline (4-CA) forming several products: N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzoquinone monoamine (dimer D), 4,4'-dichloroazobenzene (dimer E); 2-(4-chloroanilino)-N-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzoquinone (trimer F); 2-amino-5-chlorobenzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (trimer G); 2-(4-chloroanilino)-5-hydroxybenzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (tetramer H) and 2-amino-5-(-4-chlroanilino)-benzoquinone-di-4-chloroanil (tetramer 1). In the presence of 4-CA and H2O2, CPX was irreversibly inactivated within 10 min. Inactivation of CPX in the presence of H2O2 was a time-dependent, first-order process when the concentration of 4-CA was varied between 0 and 2.5 mM. The apparent dissociation constant (Ki) for CPX and 4-CA was 0.71 mM. The pseudo-first order rate constant for inactivation (k(inact)), was 1.15 x 10(-2) s(-1). Covalent incorporation of 20 mole 14C-4-CA per mole of inactivated CPX was observed. The partition ratio was about 2200 when either 4-CA or H2O2 was used as the limiting substrate. These results show that 4-CA is a metabolically activated inactivator (i.e. a suicide substrate). Unmodified heme and hydroxymethyl heme were isolated from native, 4-CA-inactivated and H2O2-incubated CPX. Inactivation resulted in significant losses in both heme contents. Analysis of tryptic peptides from 4-CA-inactivated CPX by MALDI-TOF/ MS and UV-VIS spectrophotometry suggested that trimer G and tetramer H were the major 4-CA derivatives that were covalently bound, including to a peptide (MGDAGF-SPDEVVDLLAAHSLASQEGLNSAIFR) containing the heme binding site. These studies show that heme destruction and covalent modification of the polypeptide chain are both important for the inactivation of CPX. These results were compared with similar studies on 4-CA-inactivated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and bovine lactoperoxidase (LPO) during the oxidation of 4-CA.

Abstract
Several compounds of pharmaceutical importance from a variety of chemical families, for example chlorpromazine and clomipramine, have been found to form charge-transfer complexes with iodine. We have investigated the influence of dietary iodine on thyroid-gland dysfunction induced by clomipramine, chlorpromazine or 2-thiazoline-2-thiol. We suggest that iodine is partly diverted from its metabolic pathway by complexation with drugs, and so the urinary concentration of iodide is increased. Both chlorpromazine and clomipramine, at doses which do not inhibit thyroperoxidase, enhanced urinary iodine excretion when dietary iodine was restricted (3.944+/-0.96 microg/day for chlorpromazine-tested rats, 3.43+/-1.33 microg/day for clomipramine-tested rats, compared with 2.34+/-0.11 microg/day in control rats). Concurrently, these pharmaceutical compounds increased the level of free thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in comparison with controls and induced histological modifications in, and enlargement of, the thyroid gland. We have demonstrated that drug-induced loss of iodine in the urine was associated with antithyroid action when iodine intake was limited.

Abstract
4,4'-Di-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS), an inhibitor of several anionic channels and transporters including the band 3 protein of the red blood cell membrane was tested on iodide metabolism in cultured porcine thyroid cells. We used three experimental cell culture models: (i) forskolin-stimulated correctly inside-in polarized follicle-associated thyroid cells cultured onto plastic support (ii) suspensions of isolated cells derived from such cultures (iii) polarized monolayers in bicameral chambers. DIDS was observed to increase free-iodide trapping in all conditions. Organification of iodide by follicle-associated cell cultures incubated for 6 h decreased as a function of DIDS concentration with an IC50 of 5 x 10(-5) M. This block in organification is accounted for a block in thyroperoxidase activity as in vitro both purified lactoperoxidase and purified porcine thyroperoxidase were inhibited by DIDS with a similar dose-dependency the IC50 being also of 5 x 10(-5) M. Both control and DIDS-treated cells in suspension, actively trapped iodide and reached a steady concentration in about 50 min; however the plateau was 4.4-fold higher in (10(-3) M) DIDS-treated cells. Acute TSH-stimulation at this plateau of 125I-preloaded cells in suspension in the presence of 2 mM methimazole (MMI) induced a fast release of iodide from these cells as expected (first step of the TSH-biphasic effect). This TSH-induced iodide efflux was however completely inhibited by DIDS (10(-3) M). Furthermore, addition of DIDS to the apical compartment of TSH-prestimulated cell monolayers in bicameral chambers resulted in an increase in intracellular-iodide concentration and in an inhibition of iodide efflux into the apical medium. Taken together, the present results demonstrate that DIDS mainly interacts with two main components of the thyroid apical cell membrane: thyroperoxidase and a cAMP-sensitive iodide channel.

Abstract
The effect of cavitating 22 kHz ultrasound on aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide-consuming enzymes, catalase and peroxidases, both plant (horseradish peroxidase) and animal (lactoperoxidase) was studied. Catalase did not undergo inactivation during sonication, whereas activity of peroxidases decreased with increased duration of sonication. It is suggested, basing on the absorption spectra, that some conformational changes occur in peroxidases upon sonolysis. It is concluded from the experiments with free radical scavengers that partial enzyme inactivation and modification has not a chemical but a mechanical basis.

Abstract
Ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) inhibits lactoperoxidase (LPO)-catalyzed rate of iodide oxidation in concentration and pH-dependent manner. A plot of log Kiapp values against various pH yields a sigmoidal curve from which an ionisable group of pKa value 6.0 could be ascertained for controlling the inhibition of catalytically active LPO by EDTA. Kinetic studies indicate that EDTA competitively inhibits iodide oxidation by acting as an electron donor. EDTA al so reduces LPO-compound-11 to the native ferric state by one-electron transfer as evidenced by the spectral shift from 428 to 412 nm. Optical difference spectroscopic studies indicate that EDTA binds to LPO with the apparent equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 12 +/- 2 mM at pH 6.5. A plot of log KD values against various pH produces a sigmoidal curve from which an ionisable group of LPO having pKa = 5.47 could be calculated, deprotonation of which favours EDTA binding. EDTA also binds to LPO-CN-complex indicating its binding site away from heme iron centre. The KD of LPO-EDTA complex is significantly increased (62 +/- 5 mM) by iodide suggesting that EDTA binds close to the iodide binding site. EDTA also increases the KD value of LPO-hydroquinone complex from 62 +/- 5 mM to 200 +/- 21 mM indicating that EDTA and aromatic donor binding sites are also close. We suggest that EDTA inhibits iodide oxidation competitively as an electron donor by interacting at or near the iodide binding site and these sites are close to the aromatic donor binding site.

Abstract
Delmopinol is a new surface-active agent which can reduce plaque formation and gingivitis. This study was aimed to analyze whether delmopinol (0.0032-0.65 mM) interferes with the activity of two surface-active oral antimicrobial enzymes, salivary peroxidase and lysozyme. In addition to human whole saliva (pH 5.0 and 6.0), the experiments were done in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) with purified lactoperoxidase (LPO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). LPO and MPO were significantly inhibited in buffer by delmopinol concentrations > 6.5 mM and > or = 3.2 mM, respectively. No such inhibition was found for total peroxidase activity in mixed saliva. In vitro, delmopinol was found to desorb surface-bound peroxidases in an active form to the liquid phase. In further analyses, the possible effect of delmopinol on peroxidase-generated hypothiocyanite (HOSCN/OSCN-) was studied in saliva and buffer. No effect was found in buffer, but salivary HOSCN/OSCN- declined significantly with 6.5 mM delmopinol. This was obviously due to an enhanced decay of hypothiocyanite, rather than its reduced rate of formation. No delmopinol-related inhibition of lysozyme occurred in saliva or buffer. The results suggest that high concentration (6.4 mM -0.2%) of delmopinol may lower the concentrations of antimicrobial HOSCN/OSCN- in saliva but has no effect on human lysozyme.

Abstract
Purification of the lactoperoxidase (LPO) major cationic isoenzyme was significantly improved by the use of preparative chromatographic and electrophoretic methods combined with analytical electrophoretic techniques and image processing. A detailed report is given of the experimental procedure. Furthermore, electron paramagnetic resonance has played a fundamental role in evaluating the enzyme purity against lactoferrin and minor LPO isoenzyme components in setting the final steps of the purification. With the aim to completely clarify the Fe(III)-heme high-spin nature of the native LPO, two samples of lactoperoxidase, LPO1 and LPO2 (RZ = 0.95) from farm and commercial milk, respectively, were purified and characterized in particular by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, in comparison with a commercial preparation (LPOs). The LPO1 EPR spectrum, at physiological pH, is clearly indictive of the presence of an iron(III)-heme high-spin catalytic site in the native enzyme. On the contrary, in the LPO2 spectrum a thermal equilibrium between high- and low-spin iron(III)-heme species is present. The low-spin component of the spectrum has been assigned to an LPO-NO2- adduct due to the presence of some nitrite impurities originating either from commercial unpasteurized milk or from external sources. The LPOs EPR spectrum shwos the presence of some spurious lines in the g approximately equal to 6 and 4 regions due to the minor LPO isoenzyme components and to lactoferrin, respectively. The LPO EPR spectra previously reported in the literature contain a variable number of spurious lines in the g approximately equal to 4 and 2 regions as a consequence of lactoferrin impurity and LPO low-spin adducts with endogenous or exogenous anions. Furthermore, the interaction of LPO with its native substrate (the thiocyanate anion), which previously was shown by NMR and EPR (at high substrate concentration) spectroscopies, has been confirmed by EPR at low temperature and low substrate concentration and by optical spectroscopy at room temperature and high substrate concentration as a function of pH. The LPO activity at optimum pH (approximately equal to 4-5) has been measured in phosphate and acetate buffer using as an oxidizable substrate the system dimethylamino benzoic acid 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride monohydrate (DMAB-MBTH), which was considered a good chromogen for other peroxidases such as HRP and zucchini peroxidases. The LPO vs SCN- activity at optimum pH (approximately equal to 5.5) has been measured in phosphate and acetate buffer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
The mechanism of suicidal inactivation of lactoperoxidase (LPO) by mercaptomethylimidazole (MMI) has been studied. Analogue studies indicate a specific requirement for the thiol group of MMI for inactivation of LPO in the presence of H2O2. MMI is oxidized via one-electron transfer by LPO compound II as demonstrated by a spectral shift from 430 to 412 nm through an isosbestic point at 421 nm. A decrease in Soret absorbance at 412 nm and the appearance of visible peaks at 592 and 636 nm are the characteristics of the inactivated enzyme. The one-electron oxidation product of MMI was identified by e.s.r. spectroscopy as the 5,5'-dimethyl-l-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) adduct of the sulphur-centred thiyl radical. Both inactivation and spectral change are prevented by the radical trap DMPO, suggesting involvement of the thiyl radical in inactivation. pH-dependent inactivation kinetics indicate the involvement of an ionizable group on LPO (pKa 6.1), deprotonation of which favours inactivation. The enzyme is protected by iodide and not by guaiacol, suggesting that MMI interacts at or near the iodide-binding site which is away from the aromatic-donor-binding site. The inactive enzyme can form compound II and bind aromatic donor, indicating that the MMI oxidation product does not attack haem iron or aromatic-donor-binding site. We suggest that MMI interacts at the iodide-binding site for oxidation and the reactive product, probably the thiyl radical, is incorporated into the adjacent electron-rich site of haem porphyrin to cause inactivation.

Abstract
Humans are exposed to resorcinol derivatives in the environment through ground water, foods, food additives, drugs, and hair dyes. Epidemiological studies have linked human exposure to phenolic compounds with the thyroid disorder, goiter. The results presented here demonstrate the suicide (mechanism-based) inactivation of thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and the closely related lactoperoxidase (LPO) by resorcinol derivatives. The evidence for this mechanism includes irreversible, hydrogen peroxide-dependent loss of enzymatic activity by kinetics consistent with a suicide mechanism, concomitant with changes in the visible spectrum of the prosthetic heme group and covalent binding of resorcinol (ca. 10 mol/mol of lactoperoxidase inactivated). The inactivation was specific for thyroid peroxidase and lactoperoxidase since the activity of horseradish peroxidase, myeloperoxidase, chloroperoxidase, or the pseudoperoxidase, metmyoglobin, was unaffected by incubation with resorcinol. The enzymatic oxidation of resorcinol by lactoperoxidase was linked to inactivation since the same products were observed spectrally, albeit at a much lower level, as were observed with horseradish peroxidase. The results are consistent with thyroid peroxidase- and lactoperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation of resorcinol derivatives to reactive radical species that covalently bind to amino acid residues unique to these two enzymes. The oxidation of thyroid peroxidase and lactoperoxidase by hydrogen peroxide produces catalytic intermediates containing unpaired electron density on amino acid residues similar to that seen with cytochrome c peroxidase. These results provide an explanation for the potency of resorcinol derivatives in the inhibition of LPO and TPO and the goitrogenic responses observed in humans and animals. The widespread occurrence of resorcinol derivatives in the environment suggests that exposure to these compounds may cause thyroid dysfunction in humans.

Abstract
A series of compounds based on the structure of MTI (1-methyl-2-thioimidazole) were synthesized by condensation of alpha-hydroxyketones and alkylthioureas. The alpha-hydroxyketones were obtained by a radical reaction in the presence of sodium and the alkyl ester, while the alkylthioureas were prepared by nucleophilic addition of ammonia on an alkylisothiocyanate. The antithyroid activity of the 13 compounds prepared was evaluated in vitro by determination of the concentrations which led to a 50% inhibition (IC50) of the activity of thyroid peroxidase, and in vivo by assay of thyroid hormones levels and histological examination of the thyroid gland in rats treated chronically with the compounds. 1-methyl-4,5-dipropyl 2-thioimidazole (compound 10) was found to have the highest antithyroid activity of the 13 compounds synthesized.

Abstract
Sulfonamide antibiotics, typified by sulfamethazine (SMZ), are widely used in veterinary practice. Sulfonamide residues in milk and meat products are of regulatory concern since SMZ is a thyroid carcinogen in rodents and sulfonamide-induced hypersensitivity reactions, including hypothyroidism, have been reported in humans. SMZ and other primary arylamines inhibited iodination reactions catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and the closely related lactoperoxidase (LPO). Inhibition of LPO-catalyzed triiodide ion formation by SMZ and other primary arylamines was complex as both apparent Km and Vmax values were affected, but consistent with a rapid equilibrium binding mechanism. The apparent Ki for SMZ inhibition of TPO- and LPO-catalyzed iodide ion oxidation was approximately 0.42 and 0.11 mM, respectively. The corresponding Ki values for a series of para-substituted anilines correlated with the ease of one-electron N-oxidation as measured by ionization potentials determined from semiempirical molecular orbital calculations. The aniline derivatives containing electron-donating substituents (e.g., p-CH3, p-OEt, p-Cl) were converted by LPO to colored products characteristic of one-electron oxidation. However, sulfonamides were not consumed in such reactions nor were any N-oxygenated derivatives formed in the absence of ascorbate (e.g., hydroxylamino, nitroso, nitro, azoxy). These observations suggest that the primary mechanism for sulfonamide-induced hypothyroidism is reversible inhibition of TPO-mediated thyroid hormone synthesis and not the formation and covalent binding of reactive N-oxygenated metabolites. These results are consistent with a hormonal mechanism for SMZ-induced thyroid carcinogenesis mediated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Human salivary lactoperoxidase (HS-LP) is synthesized and secreted by the salivary glands, whereas myeloperoxidase (MPO) is found in PMN leukocytes, which migrate into the oral cavity at gingival crevices. HS-LP levels vary with changes in salivary gland function, but increased numbers of MPO-containing leukocytes indicate infection or inflammation of oral tissues. To determine the contribution of each enzyme to the peroxidase activity of mixed-saliva samples, activity was assayed at pH 5.4 with tetramethylbenzidine as the substrate, with and without the inhibitor dapsone (4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone). Dapsone blocked the activity of HS-LP but not MPO. The enzymes were also separated and partially purified from the soluble portion of saliva samples and from detergent extracts of the saliva sediment. Chromatographic properties of the proteins were similar to those of LP from bovine milk (BM-LP) and MPO from human leukocytes. The identity and amounts of the enzymes were confirmed by the absorption spectra and by immunoblotting with antibodies to BM-LP and human MPO. Eosinophil peroxidase (EPO), a distinct enzyme found in eosinophilic leukocytes, was not detected by chromatography or with antibodies to human EPO. On average, 75% of the activity in samples from normal donors was due to MPO and 25% to HS-LP. When corrected for the lower specific activity of HS-LP in this assay, the average amount of MPO (3.6 micrograms/mL) was twice the amount of HS-LP (1.9 micrograms/mL). The amount of MPO corresponded to 1 x 10(6) PMN leukocytes/mL of saliva. The enzymes were distributed differently: Eighty-nine percent of the HS-LP was in the soluble portion of saliva, and 78% of the MPO was in the sediment, which contained 51% of the total activity. In contrast to results obtained with PMN leukocytes from blood, detergent was not required for MPO activity to be measured in saliva, indicating that the enzyme was accessible to peroxidase substrates. The results indicate that MPO is responsible for a large portion of peroxidase-catalyzed reactions in mixed saliva. The unique function of HS-LP may be carried out within the salivary glands, prior to secretion into the oral cavity.

Abstract
Inspection of the chemical structure of ketoconazole indicates that it may have antithyroid activity. The antithyroid action of this drug was demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo. In-vitro, it was found to form a complex with iodine (formation constant Kc 141 L mol-1), and to inhibit lactoperoxidase (IC50 2 x 10(-4) M). Its effects in-vivo in the rat were assessed by assay of circulating-thyroxine, and from the histological appearance of the thyroid gland. Thyroid gland weight was increased in rats treated with ketoconazole.

Abstract
Fluoride (F-) ions at concentrations present in vivo at the plaque/enamel interface (0.05-10 mM) inhibited the activities of lactoperoxidase (LP), myeloperoxidase (MP) and total salivary peroxidase (TSP) in a pH- and dose-dependent way. The inhibition was observed only at pH < or = 6.5 and with F- concentrations > or = 0.1 mM. At pH 5.5 LP activity was inhibited by 85% and MP by 34% with 10 mM F-. TSP activity was also inhibited only at low pH (5.5) by approximately 25%. Furthermore, the generation of the actual antimicrobial agent in vivo, hypothiocyanite (HOSCN/OSCN-), of the oral peroxidase systems was inhibited by F-, again at low pH (5.0-5.5) both in buffer (by 45%) and in saliva (by 15%). This inhibition was observed only with the highest F- concentrations studied (5-10 mM). Fluoridated toothpaste (with 0.10 or 0.14% F) mixed with saliva did not inhibit TSP or HOSCN/OSCN- generation. This may have been due to the 'buffering' effect of toothpaste which did not allow salivary pH to drop below 5.9. We conclude that the F- ions in acidic fluoride products, e.g. in gels or varnishes (but not in toothpastes), may have the potential to locally inhibit the generation of a nonimmune host defense factor, HOSCN/OSCN/SCN-, produced by oral peroxidase systems. The possible clinical significance of this finding remains to be shown.

Abstract
Derivatives of imidazole-2-thiones block reactions catalyzed by thyroid peroxidase (TPX) and the closely related lactoperoxidase (LPX), and this property is used therapeutically to treat hyperthyroidism. The reactions of a series of benzimidazoline-2-thiones with chemical and enzymatic oxidants were investigated to probe systematically the mechanism of inhibition. Oxidation of benzimidazoline-2-thione (I) and 1-methylbenzimidazoline-2-thione (II) with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (PBA) yielded reaction products and stoichiometry consistent with benzimidazole-2-sulfenic acids as reactive intermediates. The N,N'-disubstituted nature of 1,3-dimethylbenzimidazoline-2-thione (III) precludes sulfenic acid formation by tautomerization, and the oxidation of III with PBA yielded products and stoichiometry that were consistent with a benzimidazole-2-sulfonyl ylide as the reactive intermediate. I and II are suicide inhibitors of LPX and TPX, but III was found to inhibit only peroxidase-catalyzed iodination reactions by an alternate substrate mechanism. These results provide support for the hypothesis that imidazole-2-sulfenic acids are important reactive intermediates in the suicide inactivation of TPX and LPX and relate the chemical reactivity of the inhibitor with both the potency and mechanism of inhibition. These results suggest that 1,3-disubstituted thiourea derivatives represent a new class of potential antihyperthyroid drugs that block TPX-catalyzed tyrosine iodination but do not cause irreversible enzyme inactivation.

Abstract
The first step in the biogenesis of thyroid hormones is the oxidation of iodides taken up by the thyroid gland. Oxidation of I- by the H2O2/peroxidase system leads to the formation of iodinium ions I+ which bond to thyroglobulin by electrophilic substitution. However, it is not clear whether I- is transformed directly to I+ or whether it passes through a molecular iodine intermediate. This latter possibility is indicated by the oxidation potentials of the reactions. I2 can be detected in vitro from the formation of I3- ions, although this has yet to be confirmed in vivo. The present study was designed to determine, albeit indirectly, whether this reaction occurs in vivo. If I2 is produced, it may form charge transfer complexes with numerous drugs. We also investigated the action of various drugs on lactoperoxidase and assessed their antithyroid activity in the rat by assay of plasma levels of T3, T4, and TSH. We found a good correlation between the value of Kc, the formation constant of the complex of the drug with molecular iodine, and the antithyroid activity in vivo. This correlation was observed in four different classes of compound. The possibility that molecular iodine is produced in the thyroid gland has implications for antithyroid therapy.

Abstract
Salicylhydroxamic and benzohydroxamic acids were found to bind to the resting state of myeloperoxidase and inhibit ligand binding to the heme iron. An ionizable group on the enzyme with pKa = 4 affects salicylhydroxamic acid binding; binding occurs when this group is not protonated. The binding of the heme iron ligands (e.g. cyanide, nitrite, and chloride) is probably controlled by the same ionizable group. The equilibrium dissociation constant of the salicylhydroxamic acid-myeloperoxidase complex is about 2 x 10(-6) M, and the association rate constant is 7.4 x 10(6) M-1.s-1. Salicylhydroxamic acid serves as a donor to the higher oxidation state of myeloperoxidase and thereby inhibits guaiacol oxidation. Salicylhydroxamic acid was also found to bind to intestinal peroxidase and lactoperoxidase. Salicylhydroxamic acid binding to all three mammalian peroxidases was about 3 orders of magnitude stronger than benzohydroxamic acid binding. We conclude that the salicylhydroxamic and benzohydroxamic acids bind in the distal heme cavity of these peroxidases and interact with the heme ligand binding site.

Abstract
The peroxidase activity of the mitochondrial fraction of rat gastric mucosa was inhibited with various nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in vitro. Indomethacin was found to be more effective than phenylbutazone (PB) or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). Mouse gastric peroxidase was also very sensitive to indomethacin inhibition. Indomethacin has no significant effect on submaxillary gland peroxidase activity of either of the species studied. Purified rat gastric peroxidase activity was inhibited 75% with 0.15 mM indomethacin showing half-maximal inhibition at 0.04 mM. The inhibition could be withdrawn by increasing the concentration of iodide but not by H2O2. NSAIDs inhibit gastric peroxidase activity more effectively at acid pH (pH 5.2) than at neutral pH. Spectral studies showed a bathochromic shift of the Soret band of the enzyme with indomethacin indicating its interaction at or near the heme part of the enzyme.

Abstract
Ovoperoxidase, an enzyme secreted by the eggs of the sea urchin Stronglycocentrotus purpuratus upon activation, catalyzes the formation of dityrosine residues in the fertilization envelope. This cross-linking reaction requires extracellular H2O2, which is produced by the egg during the cyanide-insensitive "respiratory burst" of fertilization. While investigating the possibility that the sea urchin oxidase might generate O2- as a precursor to H2O2, we discovered that ovoperoxidase possessed O2- degrading activity. Ovoperoxidase catalyzed the breakdown of O2- in a reaction that was sensitive to inhibition by catalase, indicating a requirement for H2O2. High concentrations of either O2- or H2O2 inhibited the O2- degrading activity of ovoperoxidase, as did the peroxidase inhibitors aminotriazole, azide, and phenylhydrazine. When ovoperoxidase was heated at 56 degrees C, it lost O2- degrading activity in parallel with peroxidase activity. In contrast, the copper-chelating agent diethyldithiocarbamate, which completely inactivated CuZn superoxide dismutase, failed to affect ovoperoxidase. The requirement for H2O2 and the inhibition by aminotriazole, azide, and phenylhydrazine support the hypothesis that ovoperoxidase catalyzes the breakdown of O2- by a peroxidative mechanism. Ovoperoxidase may play a role in protecting the developing embryo from oxidants derived from O2-.

Abstract
Estradiol and 2-hydroxyestradiol with 3H at different positions in rings A, B or D were incubated with lactoperoxidase without added H2O2 and their oxidative transformation was followed by transfer of 3H into 3H2O. With estradiol, 3H loss from different positions in the aromatic ring was almost equal and also occurred to a lesser extent from the alicyclic portion of the molecule. Glutathione had less effect on the formation of 3H2O for the aromatic ring of estradiol than from that of the catechol estrogen where it increased the yield 6-fold. The rate of 3H loss was also very much greater from tritiated 2-hydroxyestradiol than from estradiol and NADPH was inhibitory with both steroids. Conditions for the release of 3H from estradiol and 2-hydroxyestradiol by peroxidase as well as the effect of some biochemical inhibitors were also investigated. The possible contribution of peroxidative formation of 3H2O during the radiometric assay for catechol estrogen biosynthesis by tissue monooxygenases is discussed.

Abstract
The interaction of lactoperoxidase with lysozyme and ribonuclease as well as immunoglobulins from cow milk has been investigated. As gel filtration and enzyme kinetics experiments have shown, the lactoperoxidase was slightly activated by complexing to lysozyme, while IgA and IgM were inhibitory for the peroxidase. Oh the other hand, IgG and ribonuclease had no effect on the enzyme activity although the latter did form a complex with the lactoperoxidase. The interaction between the lysozyme and lactoperoxidase appears to be rather specific since the alteration of the lactoperoxidase sugar moiety by periodate oxidation, prevented the formation of the lactoperoxidase-lysozyme complex.

Abstract
EDTA inhibits the formation of I3- from iodide catalysed by various pure peroxidases. The inhibition is concentration-dependent and chloroperoxidase (CPO) is more sensitive than horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and lactoperoxidase (LPO). EDTA is more active than EGTA or other biological chelators tested. Zn2+, Mn2+ and Co2+ are equally active in reversing the effect of EDTA on both CPO and HRP almost completely, but ineffective in the case of LPO. The effect of EDTA on HRP can be reversed by a higher concentration of iodide but not by H2O2. EDTA causes a hypsochromic change in the absorption of the Soret band of HRP at 402 nm, and iodide can reverse this effect. EDTA can effectively displace radioiodide specifically bound to HRP. It is suggested that EDTA inhibits iodide oxidation by interacting at the iodide binding site of the HRP.

Abstract
Amitrole (3-amino-1,2,4-triazole) meets the criteria for a suicide (mechanism-based) inhibitor of lactoperoxidase. Amitrole causes rapid inactivation of lactoperoxidase only in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, and the kinetics are consistent with a suicide mechanism. Approximately 7 mol of radiolabeled amitrole binds covalently per equivalent of lactoperoxidase activity lost. The visible spectrum of lactoperoxidase inactivated by amitrole is unchanged, suggesting that covalent modification of the heme prosthetic group does not occur. The 13C NMR spectrum of lactoperoxidase inactivated by [13C]amitrole shows unique resonances which support the hypothesis that covalent binding occurs on the protein moiety. The similarities between lactoperoxidase and thyroid peroxidase suggest a similar mechanism for inhibition of thyroid hormone synthesis by amitrole.

Abstract
Vanadate ions are shown to inhibit horseradish, squash, and rat intestinal peroxidases by following the reaction spectrophotometrically in a wide range of vanadate concentrations. I50 in phosphate buffer were 43, 9.4, and 535 microM, respectively. No inhibitory effect was found on cow milk lactoperoxidase and beef liver catalase. Gel filtration of peroxidases in the presence of vanadate, as carried out by radioactive 48V for horseradish peroxidases (either in aerobic or anoxic conditions) and neutron activation analysis (NAA) for squash peroxidase, demonstrated a binding of vanadium to these enzymes in stoichiometric amounts. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the eluted peaks for the former peroxidase indicated that vanadium is in the +5 oxidation state, but an equilibrium between V (V) and V (IV) in the assay conditions cannot be discarded. Although the inhibitory mechanism remains obscure, some hypotheses are considered. The potential implications that the inhibitory effect of vanadium might have on plant and animal metabolism are also discussed.

Abstract
1. Inhibition of lactoperoxidase by thiocarbamides is consistent with a suicide mechanism whereby enzyme-catalysed S-oxygenation produces reactive intermediates which covalently modify the active site haem. 2. The reaction of thiocarbamide goitrogens with lactoperoxidase in the presence of hydroperoxides results in time-dependent and irreversible enzyme inactivation and an altered visible spectrum of the haem prosthetic group of the inactivated enzyme. 3. A mechanism of S-oxygenation for the inactivation is suggested by lactoperoxidase-catalysed formation of stable S-oxides from thioamide and organosulphur functional groups, and by a common dependence of substrate and inhibitor binding constants on their electrochemical oxidation potentials. 4. Hydroperoxide-dependent inactivation of lactoperoxidase by benzimidazoline-2-thiones occurs concomitantly to the covalent binding of stoichiometric amounts of 14C- or 35S-labelled inhibitors per mole of enzyme, and the formation of turnover products derived from the hydroperoxide cosubstrate and inhibitor.

Abstract
Direct evidence is presented in support of mechanism-based (suicide) inactivation of lactoperoxidase by thiocarbamide thyroid inhibitors. The turnover of 1-methylbenzimidazolidine-2-thione was demonstrated by identifying the inhibitor-derived products 1-methylbenzimidazole and bisulfite ion that are formed concurrent to enzyme inactivation. The turnover of a hydroperoxide cosubstrate, 5-phenyl-4-pentenyl hydroperoxide, was quantitated from formation of the corresponding alcohol during enzyme inactivation. A specific inactivation pathway is suggested by the covalent binding of 1 mol of 14C- and 35S-labeled benzimidazolidine-2-thione and 1-methylbenzimidazolidine-2-thione per mole of inactivated lactoperoxidase. These results are explained by partitioning of inhibitor-derived S-oxygenated intermediates between turnover and inactivation pathways. The properties of the inactivation process are unique among thiono-sulfur compounds and suggest that benzimidazolinesulfenic acids are the reactive intermediates.

Abstract
H2O2 is catalytically metabolized by ferric lactoperoxidase (LPO)----compound (cpd) I----cpd II----ferric LPO cycles. An excess of the substrate, however, is degraded by a ferric LPO----cpd I----cpd II----cpd III----ferrous LPO----ferric LPO cycle. This latter pathway leads to the partial or total irreversible inactivation of the enzyme depending on the excess of H2O2 (H. Jenzer, W. Jones, and H. Kohler (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 15550-15556). Spin-trapping/ESR data indicate that in the course of the reaction superoxide (HO2./O2-) and hydroxyl radicals (OH.) are formed. Since many substances known to scavenge radicals, such as a spin trap (e.g., 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide) desferrioxamine, albumin, or mannitol, do not prevent enzyme inactivation, we conclude that OH. generation is a site-specific reaction at or near the active center of LPO where bulky scavenger molecules may not be able to penetrate. We suggest the formation of OH. by a Fenton-like reaction between H2O2 and the intermediate ferrous state of the enzyme, which substitutes for Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction. OH. is a powerful oxidant which in turn may attack rapidly the nearest partner available, either H2O2 to produce HO2. and H2O, or the prosthetic group to give rise to oxidative cleavage of the porphyrin ring structure of the heme moiety of LPO and thus to the liberation of iron.

Abstract
In the course of lactoperoxidase-catalysed I- oxidation, which is a model for the initial step of thyroid hormone biosynthesis, irreversible enzyme inactivation can occur if free molecular iodine (I2) or other oxidized iodine species accumulate. Evidence is presented that the breakdown of the catalytic activity is the result of the iodination of the peroxidase-apoprotein. This kind of enzyme inactivation, which can be prevented by iodine acceptors' such as thyroglobulin or high concentrations of I-, may well play a role in the regulation of the synthesis of thyroid hormones in vivo.

Abstract
Lactoperoxidase-catalyzed H2O2 metabolism proceeds through one of three different pathways, depending on the nature and the concentration of the second substrate as an e- donor and/or on pH conditions. In the lactoperoxidase (LPO)-H2O2 system, at low H2O2 concentrations and/or alkaline conditions the peroxidatic cycle involves ferric LPO----compound I----compound II----ferric LPO conversion, whereas high H2O2 concentrations and/or acidic conditions favor the ferric LPO----compound I----compound II----compound III----ferrous LPO----ferric LPO pathway. The compound III/ferroperoxidase states are associated with irreversible enzyme inactivation by cleavage of the heme moiety and liberation of iron. It is likely that either singlet oxygen or superoxide and hydroxyl radicals are involved in the attack on heme iron, because inactivation correlates with oxygen production and can be decreased to a certain degree by scavengers such as ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, or mannitol. In the LPO-H2O2-I- system, the enzyme may also be inactivated by I2 generated in the course of enzymatic I- oxidation (i.e. during ferric LPO----compound I----ferric LPO cycles).

Abstract
Irreversible inactivation of lactoperoxidase in the presence of excess H2O2 has been investigated. Serial overlay absorption spectra of the Soret region show that the rate and total amount of enzyme inactivation depend on the proton concentration. Perhydroxyl or superoxide radicals (HO.2 or O-2) cannot be established as the inactivating species in this mechanism, but they influence the rate of reconversion of the intermediate lactoperoxidase-compound III back to the resting ferric form of the enzyme.

Abstract
The irreversible inactivation of bovine lactoperoxidase by thiocarbamide goitrogens was measured, and the kinetics were consistent with a mechanism-based (suicide) mode. Sulfide ion inactivated, 2-mercaptobenzimidazole-inactivated, and 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole-inactivated lactoperoxidases have different visible spectra, suggesting different products were formed. The results support a mechanism in which reactive intermediates are formed by S-oxygenation reactions catalyzed by lactoperoxidase compound II. It is proposed that the reaction of electron-deficient intermediates with the heme prosthetic group is responsible for the observed spectral changes and inactivation by thiocarbamides.

Abstract
In the presence of iodide (I-, 10 mM) and hydrogen peroxide in a large excess (H2O2, 0.1-10 mM) catalytic amounts of lactoperoxidase (2 nM) are very rapidly irreversibly inactivated without forming compound III (cpd III). In contrast, in the absence of I- cpd III is formed and inactivation proceeds very slowly. Increasing the enzyme concentration up to the micromolar range significantly accelerates the rate of inactivation. The present data reveal that irreversible inactivation of the enzyme involves cleavage of the prosthetic group and liberation of heme iron. The rate of enzyme destruction is well correlated with the production of molecular oxygen (O2), which originates from the oxidation of excess H2O2. Since H2O2 and O2 per se do not affect the heme moiety of the peroxidase, we suggest that the damaging species may be a primary intermediate of the H2O2 oxidation, such as oxygen in its excited singlet state (1 delta gO2), superoxide radicals (O-.2), or consequently formed hydroxyl radicals (OH.).

Abstract
Thyroglobulin iodination and thyroxine synthesis in vitro require the presence of peroxidase, H2O2 and iodide. H2O2 is usually continuously generated by glucose oxidase (GO) and glucose. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the two enzymes could possibly be inactivated by a particular concentration of H2O2 or iodide present during incubation. The results revealed that both enzymes were indeed inactivated under two distinct conditions: Lactoperoxidase and thyroid peroxidase were inactivated by modest concentrations of H2O2 accumulating during incubation. Glucose oxidase was inactivated by an oxidized species of iodine or singlet oxygen produced in the catalytic cycle. The results may explain some hitherto unsolved discrepancies between different iodination procedures. Moreover they may have an impact on the regulation of in vivo thyroglobulin iodination and hormone synthesis.

Abstract
Fluoride was found to be a potent inhibitor of bovine lactoperoxidase and of salivary peroxidase at acid pH values. Inhibition was reversible at neutral pH, and appeared to involve HF binding by the enzyme. Fluoride inhibition of lactoperoxidase occurred with all reductants tested, including thiocyanate, iodide, and guaiacol. Fluoride concentrations for 50% inhibition of enzymatic activity with iodide as reductant were: less than 0.05 mM at a pH value of 4.0, 0.3 mM at 5.0, 4.0 mM at pH 6.0, and more than 10.0 mM at pH 7.0. Salivary peroxidases were found to have lower pH optima but to be approximately as sensitive to acid-dependent fluoride inhibition as was purified bovine lactoperoxidase. The findings suggest that the fluoride in dental plaque may be inhibitory to the antimicrobial peroxidase system.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic (I2-mediated) and lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination of tyrosine are inhibited by excess iodide (I-) and/or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). This phenomenon is a consequence of the concentration-dependent dual role of I- and H2O2 in the iodinating system. I- and H2O2, in addition to their function as primary substrates of peroxidase, may act as alternative 'iodine acceptors' and therefore compete with tyrosine for the active iodinating agent, irrespective of whether this compound is an enzyme-associated iodinium cation (E X I delta +) or an equivalent oxidized iodine species (IOH, IC1, I2). The competitive reaction pathways resulting from excess I- and/or H2O2 in the iodination system are I2/I-3 generation and/or pseudo-catalatic degradation of H2O2, respectively. Our results also demonstrate that I2 (and alternative medium-dependent oxidized iodine species such as IOH and IC1) generated in the iodination system may play an important role as iodinating agent(s). They serve as a substitute for the enzyme-bound iodinium species (E X I delta +), if the prevailing I- concentration favours this pathway. The proposed mechanism of the various antagonistic and interactive reaction pathways is summarized in a scheme.

Abstract
Cystine reduction in Streptococcus agalactiae, resulting in sulfhydryl formation, may account for antagonism of the antibacterial effect of lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate-hydrogen peroxide when cystine is present in excess of the amount needed for maximum growth. Accumulation of cystine by S. agalactiae and its reduction to form sulfhydryl compounds were demonstrated. The reduction of cystine appeared to occur by a couple reaction between glutathione reductase and glutathione-disulfide transhydrogenase activity, both of which were found in the supernatant fraction from cell homogenates. NADPH-specific glutathione reductase activity was found in the pellet and supernatant fractions from cell homogenates. Two sulfhydryls were formed for each mole of NADPH used during cystine reduction. The information presented offers a plausible explanation of how cystine, when present in excess of growth needs, may be reduced to generate sulfhydryl compounds which neutralize the antibacterial effect of lactoperoxidase-thiocyanate-hydrogen peroxide on S. agalactiae.
