Diethyldithiocarbamate, superoxide dismutases

Cultured cells subjected to 0.8 mg/L for 3 h, recovery for 21 days 50% frequency of chromosomal aberrations higher frequency by pretreatment with diethyldithiocarbamate (an inhibitor of superoxide dismutase), or dimethyl maleate (a glutathione scavenger), or at high oxygen concentrations (Sofuni and Ishidate 1988)... [Pg.1180]

Nalbandyan, 1982 Hodgson and Fridovich, 1975 Asada et al., 1975), whereas azide inhibits the enzymes in the following order iron > manganese > copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Misra and Fridovich, 1978). Diethyldithiocarbamate is another well-characterized inhibitor of the copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Heikkila et al., 1977). It forms a complex with the copper and removes the metal from all the protein ligands. The copper-diethyldithiocarbamate complex can be separated without affecting the zinc content of the protein (Cocco et al., 1981). [Pg.285]

Neuronal loss was initiated by inhibition of the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismntase (EC 1.15.1.1.) type 1, using the copper chelator diethyl-dithiocarbamate (Moskowitz et al. 2001). Continuous diethyldithiocarbamate treatment of Sprague-Dawley rat or C57/B16 mouse hippocampal slice cultures induced delayed neuronal loss beginning at 9 days of treatment that lasted for over 4 weeks. Neuronal loss was significantly attenuated in slice cultures that overexpress superoxide dismutase type 1, suggesting that superoxide dismutase inhibition was responsible. Inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase also attenuated diethyldithiocarbamate-induced neuronal loss. [Pg.497]

Diethyldithiocarbamate has long been used as an inhibitor of copper—zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) (1780,1781). The SOD-Uke activity of bis(dithio-carbamate) complexes derived from amino acids has been determined, with glutamine dithiocarbamate showing high activity (131). Warshawsky et al. (1676) also prepared and assessed a range of dithiocarbamates with ohgoether chains (Fig. 238), which leads to >1000-fold increase in hydrophobicity versus diethyldithiocarbamate, with only a 2.3-fold decrease in SOD-like activity. [Pg.409]
