Effects of Ebselen and its analogs (PZ-25, NAT06-123, NAT02-761, NAT02-801, NAT06-099, and NAT06-513) on superoxide anion (O2-) production induced by tetradecanoyl phorbol acetate (TPA) were examined in intact guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Four compounds having a structure of 1,2 benzoisoselenazol-3-(2H) one (Ebselen, NAT06-123, and NAT02-761) and its sulfur-substituted analog (PZ-25), had a potent inhibitory effect on O2- production as compared with others. Ebselen and NAT06-123 also markedly inhibited nicotinamide adenine dinuclestide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity, which is responsible for O2- production in intact cells, and in a particulate fraction prepared from TPA-stimulated PMNL, whereas PZ-25 inhibited this enzyme weakly and NAT02-761 did not. On the other hand, Ebselen and PZ-25 had the same degree of potent inhibitory effect on protein kinase C which was involved in the regulation of NADPH oxidase activation. Thus, it is plausible that inhibition of O2- production in intact PMNL by these compounds were due not only to direct inhibition of NADPH oxidase but also to inhibition of protein kinase C.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D000894 Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects.
