1-Methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridinium and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium species, metabolites of the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, non-competitively inhibit glutathione S-transferases of rat brain in vitro. The Ki values for 1-methyl-4-phenyl-2,3-dihydropyridinium bromide and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium bromide are 0.67 and 0.3 mM, respectively. Inhibition of these enzymes may lead to impairment of cellular defense mechanisms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011725 Pyridines Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.
