Competitive inhibition is of particular importance in pharmacokinetics (drug therapy). If a patient were administered two or more drugs that react simultaneously within the body with a common enzyme, cofactor, or active species, this interaction could lead to competitive inhibition in the formation of the respective metabolites and produce serious consequences. 

In competitive inhibition another substance. 1, competes with the substrate for the enzyme molecules to form an inhibitor-enzyme complex, as shown here. 

In addition to the three Michaelis-Menten reaction steps, there are two additional steps as the inhibitor reversely ties up the enzyme as shown in reaction steps 4 and 5.

In the presence of competitive inhibition, the reaction rate is dependent on both substrate and inhibitor concentrations. This type of inhibition increases the value but does not affect the because the number of active sites is not altered. Due to inhibitor interference with the substrate, higher substrate concentrations are required to displace and outcompete the inhibitor at the binding site to reach the maximum rate. When the substrate concentration is sufficiently increased, the active sites wijl be occupied by the substrate and the inhibitor cannot bind. Thus, it would affect the value. 

The formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex reduces the number of enzymes available to bind with the substrate, and as a result, the reaction rate decreases. Equation 4.33 shows a mathematical representation of a competitive inhibition rate  

A competitive inhibition screen is often the first step in understanding the DDI potential of a NCE. The definitive assessment of inhibition is the inhibition constant (K ), which provides not only the inhibition potency but also information on the mechanism of inhibition (competitive, non-competitive). However in the hit to lead profiling environment this approach is over-complex for the question being asked, and generates far too many samples to enable rapid screening of compound series. DDI assays based upon the IC50 principle are therefore favored. The relationship between K and IC50 for a competitive inhibitor is  

U nder assay conditions whereby the concentration of the probe substrate is equivalent to Km, an IC50 estimate is equivalent to twofold K. For non-competitive inhibition, Kj is equivalent to IC50 since inhibitor and substrate binding are independent 

For any inhibition assay, be it screening or definitive, there are criteria that should be adhered to which vdll enable reliable data  

The probe substrate should be specific/selective and the concentration should be at or below K. See Table 8.1 for a list of recommended CYP substrates. 

Low microsomal protein concentrations of 0.1 mg/mL or below reduce effects of microsomal binding. 

In this t) e of reversible inhibition, a compound competes with an enzyme s substrate for binding to the active site. 

This results in an apparent increase in the enzyme-substrate dissociation constant (Ks) (i.e., an apparent decrease in the affinity of enzyme for 

Normalization of the rate equation by total enzyme concentration (i /[Et ]) and rearrangement results in the following expression for the velocity of an enzymatic reaction in the presence of a competitive inhibitor  

The simplest explanation for the competitive inhibition is that the inhibitor binds to the same site on the enzyme as the substrate, forming an abortive, nonproductive complex inhibitor and substrate are mutually exclusive (Fromm, 1979, 1995). In other words, the substrate and inhibitor compete for the same site, so that only one enzyme-inhibitor complex is possible  

In this model, we must recognize that the total enzyme Eo is divided between three forms free enzyme E, enzyme-substrate complex EA, and the enzyme-inhibitor complex El. Keeping this in mind, a velocity equation in the presence of a competitive inhibitor can be easily derived from either rapid equilibrium or steady-state assumptions by an algebraic procedure described for monosubstrate reactions (Sections 3.1 and 3.2)  

The best-known example for the competitive inhibition shown in reaction (5.1) is the inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase by malonate, a compound stmcturaUy closely related to succinate (Price Stewens, 1999). 

Equation (5.3) has a form of the Michaelis-Menten equation where the apparent kinetic constants are given by 

the effect of a competitive inhibitor is to increase the apparent value of the Michaelis constant (Ka) by the factor (i+J/Jej). to reduce that of the specificity constant the same factor, and to leaveV, unchanged. 

Substances that cannot be converted by the enzyme but are competing with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme are called competitive inhibitors . The following reaction scheme represents this situation  

Compared to Eq. (18) the rate equation (Eq. (27)) for competitive inhibitors includes an additional term [I]/JCi in the denominator representing the additional dissociation equilibrium of the El complex (cf. the above discussion about the adsorption term ). Also, each alternative substrate S of a reaction would render such a term [Sn]/KSn in the denominator. As a consequence of their affinity to the enzyme, alternative substrates and inhibitors block a part of the enzyme otherwise available for the reaction S - P. 

the product P of enzymatic reactions is often a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme leading to product inhibition (compare Eqs. (27) and (37)). The influence of product in the case of reversible reactions will be discussed later. 

From Eq. (28) it can be concluded that the effect of a competitive inhibitor is to increase the apparent Ks value while the nmax value is not affected. For example if [I] is chosen as Ki, in the presence of the inhibitor it would take twice as much substrate S to reach umax/2 as without inhibitor. 

The three most common types of reversible inhibition occurring in enzymatic reactions are competitive, uncompetitive, and noncompetitive. The enzyme molecule is analogous to a heterogeneous catalytic surface in that it contains active. sites. When competitive inhibition occurs, the substrate and inhibitor are usually similar molecules that compete for the same site on the enzyme. Uncompetitive inhibition occurs when the inhibitor deactivates the enzyme-substrate complex, sometimes by attaching itself to both the substrate and enzyme molecules of the complex. Noncompetitive inhibition occurs with enzymes containing at least two different types of sites. The substrate attaches only to one type of site, and the inhibitor attaches only to the other to render the enzyme inactive. 

The net rate of formation of inhibitCH -substrate complex is also zero 

The total enzyme concentration is the sum of the bound and unbound enzyme concentrations 

Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for the enzyme s active site, but are not converted to products after they are bound. They block the active site from substrate, and their effectiveness is described by their inhibition constant, Ki, which is the dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex (k-3/ 3)  

In this model, the enzyme-inhibitor complex is completely inactive, but is in equilibrium with the active form of the enzyme. For a simple one-substrate reaction, the effect of a competitive inhibitor on the initial rate of the reaction is described by Eq. 2.40. 

In this case, formation of El is a dead-end complex and the only way to generate catalytically active enzyme is for the reformation of E + I. Because competitive inhibition has no effect on Emax, a change (increase) in Aim must occur and thus this type of inhibition is characterized as an increase in ATn,. However, to assist in characterization of inhibitors it may be more straightforward and simpler to describe competitive inhibition as a decrease in Emax/ m with no change in the apparent En,ax- Thn equation for defining competitive inhibition is listed below as Equation 4.12. 

In this equation, E a nnd have their usual meanings and [I] is the free inhibitor concentration. K is the inhibition constant and is equal to Ki = E][I]/ [El]. Note that the equation is of the same form as the Michaelis-Menten equation and can be rewritten as the following (Eq. 4.13)  

From Equation 4.14, it thus becomes apparent that in the case of competitive inhibition, the apparent value of is decreased by the 

The equilibrium constant or dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, Ki, also known as the inhibitor constant, is a measure of the extent of inhibition. The lower the value of Ki, the higher the affinity of the inhibitor for the enzyme. Kinetically, three kinds of reversible inhibition can be distinguished competitive, non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibition (examples in Table 2.10). Other possible cases, such as allosteric inhibition and partial competitive or partial non-competitive inhibition, are omitted in this treatise. 

In an irreversible inhibition the inhibitor binds mostly covalently to the enzyme the El complex formed does not dissociate  

Here the inhibitor binds to the active site of the free enzyme, thus preventing the substrate from binding. Hence, there is competition between substrate and inhibitor  

According to the steady-state theory for a singlesubstrate reaction, we have  

The rate of inhibition depends on the reaction rate constant ki in Equation 2.68, the enzyme concentration, [E], and the inhibitor concentra- 

Since a competitive inhibitor has a strong structural resemblance to the substrate, both the inhibitor and substrate compete for the active site of an enzyme. The formation of an enzyme-inhibitor complex reduces the amount of enzyme available for interaction with the substrate and, as a result, the rate of reaction decreases. A competitive inhibitor normally combines reversibly with enzyme. Therefore, the effect of the inhibitor can be minimized by increasing the substrate concentration, unless the substrate concentration is greater than the concentration at which the substrate itself inhibits the reaction. The mechanism of competitive inhibition can be expressed as follows  

If the slower reaction, the product formation step, determines the rate of reaction according to the Michaelis-Menten assumption, the rate can be expressed as  

We earher described enzyme action in terms of the active site hypothesis. If an inhibiting substance can bind at the enzyme active site, there will be competition between the substrate, S, and the inhibitor, I, for the enzyme. The enzyme that is bound in a complex with the inhibitor, El, is not available for binding with the substrate, so the effectiveness of the enzyme will be diminished. The chemical process for the formation of the product can be represented as 

In this system, the concentration of free enzyme, [E], is the total concentration, [E]j, minus the amount bound in the ES and El complexes. Writing the expression for the equilibrium constant and substituting for [E] 

If we let Kj represent the equilibrium constant for dissociation of the El complex, then Kj = 1 /K, and solving the resulting expression for [El] 

For the complex ES, the change in concentration with time is the difference between the rate at which ES is formed and the rate at which it dissociates. Therefore, after a steady state is reached. 

The rate has a maximum (K ax) when [S] is large, so under these conditions the rate can be expressed as fe2[E](. Therefore, substituting for fe2p]e in Eq. (6.41) yields

Relatively unambiguous monotonic SARs also occur where activity depends on the ionization of a particular functional group. A classic example (Fig. 5) is that of the antibacterial sulfonamides where activity is exerted by competitive inhibition of the incorporation of j -amin ohenzoic acid into foHc acid (27). The beU-shaped relationship is consistent with the sulfonamide acting as the anion but permeating into the cell as the neutral species.

The high affinity LBS is involved in the interaction of plasminogen with fibrin, a2-antiplasmin, and a plasmin inhibitor called histidine-rich glycoprotein.

Reversible inhibition is characterized by an equiUbrium between enzyme and inhibitor. Many reversible inhibitors are substrate analogues, and bear a close relationship to the normal substrate. When the inhibitor and the substrate compete for the same site on the enzyme, the inhibition is called competitive inhibition. In addition to the reaction described in equation 1, the competing reaction described in equation 3 proceeds when a competitive inhibitor I is added to the reaction solution.

The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) is competitively inhibited by malo-nate. Figure 14.14 shows the structures of succinate and malonate. The structural similarity between them is obvious and is the basis of malonate s ability to mimic succinate and bind at the active site of SDH. However, unlike succinate, which is oxidized by SDH to form fumarate, malonate cannot lose two hydrogens consequently, it is unreactive.

Generally inhibitors are competitive or non-competitive with substrates. In competitive inhibition, the interaction of the enzyme with the substrate and competitive inhibitor instead of the substrate can be analysed with the sequence of reactions taking place as a result, a complex of the enzyme-inhibitor (El) is formed. The reaction sets at equilibrium and the final step shows the product is formed. The enzyme must get free, but the enzyme attached to the inhibitor does not have any chance to dissociate from the El complex. The El formed is not available for conversion of substrate free enzymes are responsible for that conversion. The presence of inhibitor can cause the reaction rate to be slower than the ordinary reaction, in the absence of the inhibitor. The sequence of reaction mechanisms is ... 

In such inhibition, the inhibitor and die substrate can simultaneously bind to the enzyme. The nature of the enzyme-inhibitor-substrate binding has resulted in a ternary complex defined as EIS.

Based on die graphical presentation, this is a competitive inhibition. 

In non-competitive inhibition, the substrate (S) and inhibitor (I) have equal potential to bind to the free enzyme (E). The inhibitor forms a ternary complex with enzyme-substrate (ES) whereas the substrate will form another ternary complex with enzyme-inhibitor (El). Since the non-competitive inhibitor had no effect on the binding of substrate to the enzyme, the Km value remained consistent (or unchanged). There are two different ways for the formation of ESI ternary complex this complex would not form the product and therefore was decreased. Non-competitive inhibitor had no effect on substrate binding or the enzyme-substrate affinity, therefore the apparent rate constant (K ) was unchanged.5 A possible reason for product inhibition was because of the nature of 2-ethoxyethanol,...
