Inhibition of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase by 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 2-(2-chloro-4-methanesulfonylbenzoyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione

The administration of the compound 2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione (NTBC) to rats (10 mg/kg body wt) caused an elevation in the concentration of plasma tyrosine and gave products in urine that were identified as 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPPA) and 4-hydroxyphenyllactate (HPLA). This observed chemically induced tyrosinemia established that this compound perturbs tyrosine catabolism and suggested that the causal effect is the inhibition of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). This was confirmed when rat liver HPPD was found to be markedly inhibited by NTBC when the enzyme and chemical were incubated, in vitro, for 3 min at 37 degrees C prior to the initiation of the enzyme reaction by the addition of substrate. At 100 nM NTBC, approximately 90% of the enzyme activity was lost and an IC50 was calculated at approximately 40 nM. The inhibition of HPPD by NTBC (50 nM) is time-dependent; the enzyme activity was reduced by > 50% within 30 sec. Progress curve data of loss of enzyme activity with time gave a rate constant for the inactivation of rat liver HPPD [k*, formation of an HPPD-inhibitor (EI) complex] by NTBC of 9.9 +/- 2.5 x 10(-5) sec-1 nM-1. It was established that NTBC is not irreversibly bound in the EI complex but slowly dissociates with a recovery of enzyme activity of 13.7 +/- 1.0% over a 7-hr period (t1/2, 25 degrees C estimated at 63 hours). In comparison, the compound 2-(2-chloro-4-methanesulfonylbenzoyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione (CMBC), an analog of NTBC, gave a similar rate for the inactivation of HPPD (k*, 3.3 +/- 0.8 x 10(-5) sec-1 nM-1), whereas 45 +/- 8% of the enzyme activity was recovered over a 7-hr period (t1/2, 25 degrees C approximately 10 hr). These studies establish that NTBC and CMBC are potent, time-dependent (tight-binding) reversible inhibitors of HPPD. The inhibition is characterized by a rapid inactivation of the enzyme by the formation of an HPPD-inhibitor complex that dissociates with recovery of enzyme activity. In vivo, the inhibition of HPPD causes a tyrosinemia that abates with the recovery of enzyme activity. The understanding of the mechanism by which NTBC perturbs tyrosine catabolism has led to the clinical use of this chemical as the first effective pharmacological therapy for the hereditary disorder tyrosinemia I.     

Water and solute activities in the aqueous H2SO4 -(NH4)2SO4 solutions

The activities of water in H₂SO₄-(NH₄)₂SO₄-H₂O solutions, the concentrations of which ranged from 0.1 to 4.0 mol kg_-1 H₂SO₄ and 0.1 to 5.0 mol kg_-1 (NH₄)₂SO₄, were determined by an isopiestic method at 298 K. The experimentally determined water activities showed considerable deviation from the Zdanovskii rule. The activities of water were not in agreement with those calculated from the Robinson-Bower equation, even though the formation of sulfato-complexes of NH₄(I) and the dissociation of sulfuric acid were taken into consideration. The behavior of H₂SO₄-(NH4)₂SO₄ solu-tions is quite different from other systems. Water activities of aqueous solutions of H₂SO₄-Li₂SO₄ and H₂SO₄-Na₂SO₄ can be calculated from the Robinson-Bower equation with satisfactory accuracy. The interesting behavior of (NH₄)₂SO₄ can be attributed to the water structure-breaking property of NH₄ ⁺ ions. An additivity equation for estimating the water activity of aqueous H₂SO₄ solutions con-taining (NH₄)₂SO₄ was proposed by considering the contributing effects of solutes on the structure of water. The proposed equation satisfactorily described the solution system under investigation. The mean activity coefficients of H₂SO₄ and (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the solution system, H₂SO₄-(NH₄)₂SO₄-H₂O, at 298 K, were calculated by the McKay-Perring method using the water activities experimentally determined. It is believed that the calculated values for concentrated solutions of more than one sol-ute are sufficiently accurate since the mean activity coefficients of H₂SO₄ agree with the values measured by the emf method.

Catalytic Combustion of Diesel Soot over K2NiF4-type Oxides La2-xKxCuO4

The K2NiF4 type oxides, La2-x KxCuO4 complex oxides with nanometric size were prepared by sol-gel method. The characters of these samples were analyzed by H2-TPR, XRD, FT-IR and SEM. The catalytic activity for soot combustion was evaluated by temperature-programmed reaction （TPO） technique. The results demonstrate that the substitution of K^＋ for La^3＋ at A-site will increase the catalytic activities of La2-xKxCuO4 to soot combustion greatly, and the substitution quantity affects the structure and catalytic activity obviously. The La1.8 K0.2 CuO4 complex oxides with tetrahedral structure has the best catalytic activity for soot removal reaction, the ignition temperature of soot combustion is decreased from 490 to 320℃.
