The binding of tetrahydropteridines with 6-di- and trihydroxypropyl side chains to recombinant rat neuronal nitric oxide (NO) synthase (EC 1.14.13.39) was determined by competition with 6R-[3'-3H]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-L-erythro-biopterin (6R-[3'-3H]H4biopterin). Although all but one of the derivatives exhibited only poor affinities (Ki 50 microM), the 4-amino analogue of 6R-H4 biopterin was a potent antagonist of 6R-H4 biopterin binding (Ki 13.2 nM). The 4-amino analogue of 6R-H4 biopterin inhibited NO synthase stimulation by the natural cofactor 6R-H4 biopterin with an IC50 of 1 microM without affecting the basal activity observed in the absence of added 6R-H4 biopterin. Because the 4-amino analogue of 6R-H4biopterin also inhibited dihydropteridine reductase (EC 1.6.99.7; IC50 20 microM), our results support the hypothesis that redox cycling of H4 biopterin might be required for the NO synthase reaction.
通过与6R-[3'-3H]-5,6,7,8-四氢-L-赤藓糖型生物蝶呤(6R-[3'-3H]H4生物蝶呤)竞争,测定了带有6-二羟基丙基和三羟基丙基侧链的四氢蝶啶与重组大鼠神经元型一氧化氮合酶(EC 1.14.13.39)的结合情况。尽管除一种衍生物外其他所有衍生物仅表现出较弱的亲和力(Ki>50 μM),但6R-H4生物蝶呤的4-氨基类似物是6R-H4生物蝶呤结合的强效拮抗剂(Ki 13.2 nM)。6R-H4生物蝶呤的4-氨基类似物抑制天然辅因子6R-H4生物蝶呤对一氧化氮合酶的刺激作用,IC50为1 μM,且不影响在未添加6R-H4生物蝶呤时观察到的基础活性。由于6R-H4生物蝶呤的4-氨基类似物也抑制二氢蝶呤还原酶(EC 1.6.99.7;IC50 20 μM),我们的结果支持以下假设,即一氧化氮合酶反应可能需要H4生物蝶呤的氧化还原循环。
