S-Adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) hydrolases (SAHHs) from human sources (Hs-SAHHs) bind the cofactor NAD(+) more tightly than several parasitic SAHHs by around 1000-fold. This property suggests the cofactor binding site of this essential enzyme as a potential anti-parasitic drug target, e.g., against SAHH from Trypansoma cruzi (Tc-SAHH). The on-rate and off-rate constants and the equilibrium dissociation constants were determined for NAD(+)/NADH analogues and suggested that NADH analogues were the most promising for selective inhibition of Tc-SAHH. None significantly inhibited Hs-SAHH while S-NADH and H-NADH (see Figure 1) reduced the catalytic activity of Tc-SAHH to < 10% in six minutes of exposure.
来自人类的S-腺苷同型半胱氨酸(AdoHcy)水解酶(Hs-SAHHs)与辅因子NAD(+)的结合比几种寄生虫SAHHs紧密约1000倍。这一特性表明这种必需酶的辅因子结合位点是一个潜在的抗寄生虫药物靶点,例如针对克氏锥虫的SAHH(Tc-SAHH)。测定了NAD(+)/NADH类似物的结合速率常数、解离速率常数和平衡解离常数,结果表明NADH类似物对选择性抑制Tc-SAHH最有前景。没有一种能显著抑制Hs-SAHH,而S-NADH和H-NADH(见图1)在暴露6分钟内将Tc-SAHH的催化活性降低至<10%。
