Gabaculine (5-amino-1,3-cyclohexadienylcarboxylic acid, 1), a naturally occurring neurotoxin isolated from Streptomyces toyocaenis, has been shown to be a mechanism-based inactivator of gamma-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT) (Rando, R. R. Biochemistry 1977, 16, 4604). Inactivation results from reaction of gabaculine with the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) cofactor. Two HPLC systems for isolating this inactivator-PLP adduct are described as well as a detailed characterization of the adduct, including the ultraviolet-visible spectrum, electrospray mass spectra, and NMR spectrum. The same spectral characterization of the chemically synthesized gabaculine-PLP adduct is also reported.
加巴喷丁(5-氨基-1,3-环己二烯基羧酸,1)是从丰田链霉菌中分离出的一种天然存在的神经毒素,已被证明是γ-氨基丁酸转氨酶(GABA-AT)的基于机制的失活剂(兰多,R.R.《生物化学》1977年,16卷,4604页)。失活是加巴喷丁与磷酸吡哆醛(PLP)辅因子反应的结果。描述了两种用于分离这种失活剂-PLP加合物的高效液相色谱系统,以及该加合物的详细表征,包括紫外可见光谱、电喷雾质谱和核磁共振谱。还报道了化学合成的加巴喷丁-PLP加合物的相同光谱表征。
