Brain homogenates of Locusta migratoria are found to possess enzyme capable of catalyzing the N-acetylation of tryptamine. A main product of the enzymatic reaction is isolated and identified as N-acetyltryptamine by chromatography analyse. Both insecticides, chlordimeform and lindane, inhibit enzyme activity. A direct correlation between the degree of intoxication and acetylation of tryptamine is described.
人们发现,飞蝗的脑匀浆含有能够催化色胺N - 乙酰化反应的酶。通过色谱分析分离并鉴定出酶促反应的主要产物为N - 乙酰色胺。杀虫剂杀虫脒和林丹均能抑制该酶的活性。文中描述了中毒程度与色胺乙酰化之间的直接关联。
