Cu-Zn-superoxide dismutase activity in Moniezia expansa: inhibition by pyrimidine derivatives. 1989

M Sanchez-Moreno, and J E Ortega, and A Sanchez-Navas, and J M Salas-Peregrin, and M Monteoliva

Copper-zinc, cyanide-sensitive superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD) was detected in homogenates of Moniezia expansa. The enzyme was purified by a sequence of multiple differential centrifugations, ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange and G-75 Sephadex column chromatography. The final enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 623.00 +/- 9.97U per mg protein and, after isolation, a single-staining band on acrylamide-SDS gels was detected which coincided with enzyme activity. The inhibitory activities of several benzimidazoles and several novel pyrimidine derivatives were determined on purified extracts of the M. expansa Cu-Zn-SOD. The results indicated that the percentage inhibition of Cu-Zn-SOD by some pyrimidine derivatives (6-amino-1, 3-dimethyl-5-nitroso-uracil, 6-amino-5-methyl-5-nitroso-uracil and 5-amino-uracil) was markedly higher than inhibition with the benzimidazoles.
