The compound 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), which produces symptoms resembling Parkinson's disease in humans, acts both as a substrate and an enzyme-activated irreversible inhibitor of the B-form of monoamine oxidase from rat liver. Analysis of the inhibitory process showed the compound to be considerably more efficient as a substrate than as an irreversible inhibitor, with about 17000 mol of product being formed per mol of enzyme inactivated. The half-time of the inhibitory process was about 22 min. With the A-form of the enzyme, the compound had a lower Km value and a considerably lower maximum velocity than the corresponding values obtained with the B-form. Under the conditions used in the present work the inhibition of the A-form of the enzyme was largely reversible.
化合物1-甲基-4-苯基-1,2,3,6-四氢吡啶(MPTP)可在人类身上引发类似帕金森病的症状,它既是大鼠肝脏中B型单胺氧化酶的底物,也是一种酶激活的不可逆抑制剂。对抑制过程的分析表明,该化合物作为底物的效率远高于作为不可逆抑制剂的效率,每摩尔失活的酶大约会形成17000摩尔的产物。抑制过程的半衰期约为22分钟。对于A型酶,该化合物的米氏常数(Km值)较低,最大反应速度也明显低于B型酶的相应值。在本研究使用的条件下,A型酶的抑制作用在很大程度上是可逆的。
