Nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen species appear increased nitrogen monoxide formation and nitrosative stress. It to play crucial roles in the brain such as neuromodulation, is now well documented that NO and its toxic metabolite, neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity, but are also involved in peroxynitrite, can inhibit components of the mitochondrial pathological processes such as neurodegeneration and respiratory chain leading to cellular energy deficiency and, neuroinflammation. Acute and chronic inflammation result in eventually, to cell death. Within the brain, the susceptibility of different brain cell types to NO and peroxynitrite exposure may be dependent on factors such as the intracellular reduced glutathione and cellular stress resistance signal pathways.

These findings have led to new perspectives in derived from neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and medicine and pharmacology, as molecules inducing this defense endothelial nitric oxide synthase appears to have an mechanism appear to be possible candidates for novel, important role in neural signaling and immunomodulation, cytoprotective strategies. Particularly, manipulation of as well as in the regulation of mitochondrial respiratory endogenous cellular defense mechanisms such as the heat shock chain complex IV activity. The activity of inducible nitric response, through nutritional antioxidants or pharmacological oxide synthase (iNOS) is much higher than nNOS or eNOS, compounds, represents an innovative approach to therapeutic and the induction of iNOS, producing greater amounts of intervention in diseases causing tissue damage, such as NO than nNOS or eNOS, is usually associated with cellular neurodegeneration. Consistent with this notion, maintenance or pathology. The actions of NO can be either direct, resulting recovery of the activity of vitagenes may possibly delay the aging from reactions between NO and specific biological process and decrease the occurrence of age-related diseases with molecules, or indirect, resulting from reactions of NO- resulting prolongation of a healthy life span. derived reactive nitrogen species; for instance, the reaction of NO with superoxide produces the peroxynitrite anion and Perturbation of the cellular oxidant/antioxidant balance has represents an important pathway of NO reactivity. been suggested to be involved in the neuropathogenesis of Peroxynitrite is a powerful oxidant and can nitrate aromatic several disease states, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease amino acid residues such as tyrosine to form nitrotyrosine.

  • Nomination Background: Dihydroxyacetone (CASRN: 96-26-4)
    SUMMARY OF DATA FOR CHEMICAL SELECTION Dihydroxyacetone 96-26-4 BASIS OF NOMINATION TO THE CSWG As consumers have become more mindful of the hazards ofa "healthy tan," more individuals have turned to sunless tanning. Sunless tanning products represent about 10% of the $400 million market for suntan preparations, and these products are the fastest growing segment of the suntanning preparation market. All sunless tanners contain dihydroxyacetone. Information on the toxicity of dihydroxyacetone appears contradictory. A mutagen that induces DNA strand breaks, dihydroxyacetone is also an intermediate in carbohydrate metabolism in higher plants and animals. Such contradictions are not unprecedented, and it has been suggested that autooxidation of cx-hydroxycarbonyl compounds including reducing sugars may play a role in diseases associated with age and diabetes (Morita, 1991 ). When dihydroxyacetone was applied to the skin of mice, no carcinogenic effect was observed. It is unclear whether this negative response was caused by a failure ofthe compound to penetrate the skin. If so, extrapolating the dermal results to other routes of exposure would not be appropriate. NCI is nominating dihydroxyacetone to the NTP for dermal penetration studies in rats and mice to determine whether dihydroxyacetone can penetrate the skin. This information will clarify whether additional testing of dihydroxyacetone is warranted.

  • The Pichia Pastoris Dihydroxyacetone Kinase Is a PTS1-Containing, but Cytosolic, Protein That Is Essential for Growth on Methanol
    . 14: 759–771 (1998) The Pichia pastoris Dihydroxyacetone Kinase is a PTS1-containing, but Cytosolic, Protein that is Essential for Growth on Methanol GEORG H. LU} ERS†, RAJ ADVANI, THIBAUT WENZEL AND SURESH SUBRAMANI* Department of Biology, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093–0322, U.S.A. Received 11 November 1997; accepted 27 January 1998 Dihydroxyacetone kinase (DAK) is essential for methanol assimilation in methylotrophic yeasts. We have cloned the DAK gene from Pichia pastoris by functional complementation of a mutant that was unable to grow on methanol. An open reading frame of 1824 bp was identified that encodes a 65·3 kDa protein with high homology to DAK from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although DAK from P. pastoris contained a C-terminal tripeptide, TKL, which we showed can act as a peroxisomal targeting signal when fused to the green fluorescent protein, the enzyme was primarily cytosolic. The TKL tripeptide was not required for the biochemical function of DAK because a deletion construct lacking the DNA encoding this tripeptide was able to complement the P. pastoris dakÄ mutant. Peroxisomes, which are essential for growth of P. pastoris on methanol, were present in the dakÄ mutant and the import of peroxisomal proteins was not disturbed. The dakÄ mutant grew at normal rates on glycerol and oleate media. However, unlike the wild-type cells, the dakÄ mutant was unable to grow on methanol as the sole carbon source but was able to grow on dihydroxyacetone at a much slower rate. The metabolic pathway explaining the reduced growth rate of the dakÄ mutant on dihydroxyacetone is discussed.

Hasegawa Co., Ltd., 335 Kariyado, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki 211, Japan Received November 21, 1989 Equimolecular amounts of L-cysteine and dihydroxyacetone were heated at 110°C for 3hr in different solvent systems such as deionized water, glycerine, or triglyceride. The resulting mixtures were vacuum steam-distilled and each distillate was extracted with ethyl ether. The volatiles in the ether extracts were analyzed by gas chromatographyand gas chromatograph\-massspectrometry. Differences in the quality and quantity of volatiles formed in the systems were observed. Pyrazines, thiazoles, thiophenes, and someother sulfur-containing compounds wereidentified in the volatiles. Dimethylpyrazines were formed as major volatiles in the glycerine and triglyceride systems but were minor in the water system. 2-Acetylthiazole in the triglyceride system and 2-acetylthiophene in the glycerine system were secondary abundant products. In the water system, l-mercapto-2-propanone was found as a major volatile compound, and thiophenes as the next dominants.

The materials were characterized by several techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), Raman and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopies. The amount of vanadium incorporated in aluminophosphates framework played an important role in the catalytic activity, while in the products distribution the key role is played by the vanadium oxidation state on the surface. The sample that contains a large amount of V4+ has the highest selectivity towards methanol. On the sample with the lowest vanadium loading the oxidation path to dihydroxyacetone is predominant. The catalyst with higher content of tetrahedral isolated vanadium species, such V5APO, is less active in breaking the C–C bonds in the glycerol molecule than the one containing polymeric species.
