Inhibitor correlation between

The presented algorithm was applied to 4 proteins (lysozyme, ribonuclease A, ovomucid and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor) containing 51 titratable residues with experimentally known pKaS [32, 33]. Fig. 2 shows the correlation between the experimental and calculated pKaS. The linear correlation coefficient is r = 0.952 the slope of the line is A = 1.028 and the intercept is B = -0.104. This shows that the overall agreement between the experimental and predicted pKaS is good. 

Application of the CCM to small sets (n < 6) of enzyme inhibitors revealed correlations between the inhibitory activity and the chirality measure of the inhibitors, calculated by Eq. (26) for the entire structure or for the substructure that interacts with the enzyme (pharmacophore) [41], This was done for arylammonium inhibitors of trypsin, Di-dopamine receptor inhibitors, and organophosphate inhibitors of trypsin, acetylcholine esterase, and butyrylcholine esterase. Because the CCM values are equal for opposite enantiomers, the method had to be applied separately to the two families of enantiomers (R- and S-enantiomers). 

The absolute rate constants for attack of carbon-centered radicals on p-benzoquinone (38) and other quinones have been determined to be in the range I0M08 M 1 s 1.1 -04 This rate shows a strong dependence on the electrophilicity of the attacking radical and there is some correlation between the efficiency of various quinones as inhibitors of polymerization and the redox potential of the quinone. The complexity of the mechanism means that the stoichiometry of inhibition by these compounds is often not straightforward. Measurements of moles of inhibitor consumed for each chain terminated for common inhibitors of this class give values in the range 0.05-2.0.176...

Figure 5.12 Diagramatic illustration of the possible correlation between compound potency in cellular and enzymatic activity assays when the cellular phenotype is a direct result of inhibition of the target enzyme. Compounds that fall into the lower left and upper right quadrants demonstrate a correlation of rank-order potency between the cellular and cell-free assays. Compounds in the upper left quadrant may represent potent enzyme inhibitors that for some reason do not achieve adequate intracellular concentrations, as described in the text. Note the absence of any compound points in the lower right quadrant. Population of this quadrant would usually be inconsistent with enzyme inhibition being the direct cause of the observed cellular phenotype.

This approach has been mainly applied to peptide-based inhibitors of proteases, where the inhibitory molecule is a peptide with a transition state isostere appended to it, and the cognate substrate is simply a peptide of the same amino acid sequence, but lacking the isostere functionality. Examples where good correlations between the free energy of inhibitor binding and the free energy of kcJKM have been found, include peptide-trifluoromethyl ketone inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase (Stein et al., 1987) and peptide-phosphonamidate inhibitors of the metalloprotease ther-molysin (Bartlett and Marlowe, 1983).

Plants affecting the serotoninergic neurotransmission are therefore interesting because of their potentials for the treatment of depression, which is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. It is generally agreed that there is a correlation between diminished serotonin neurotransmission and episodes of major depression, and a number or inhibitors of serotonin-uptake inhibitors are available on the market, such as sertraline (Zoloft ). 

For a series of renin inhibitors a good correlation between the measured membrane permeability and log D was found (r2 = 0.8). The model has been validated against a human perfusion model [10], as well as being extended by including molecular weight as a third parameter [27]. A further development of the model is to chronically cannulate the animals so that they can be allowed to recover [28]. This model should avoid any effects from the anesthetic on the absorption process. 

When inhibited oxidation is nonstationary with respect to hydroperoxide, there is a definite, mechanism-dependent correlation between the amounts of the inhibitor consumed and hydroperoxide produced (see Table 14.2). The values of parameter a can be expressed through the rate constants k2 and k7 (the symbol denotes that these constants are measured at 333 K) from Table 14.5.

The correlation between histone acetylation and eukaryotic transcription were recognized many years ago [128,129]. However, it has not been until very recently, with the discovery that both HATs [130-133] and HDACs [134-138] are an integral part of the basal transcriptional machinery, that the molecular link for this correlation was established. This discovery has rekindled interest in this post-translational histone modification with implications ranging from basic chromatin research to applied medical investigations. Indeed, histone acetylation has been linked to cancer [139-144] and certain types of HDAC inhibitors are already being used to treat certain forms of cancer [145]. 

A comparison of EDso values for feedback inhibition and for growth inhibition in H.Ep.-2 cells in culture is shown in Table 2.3. It is readily apparent that for most of the purine analogues listed, the correlation between feedback inhibition and cytotoxicity is good. The few discrepancies may be due to the fact that these particular compounds are not feedback inhibitors, but metabolism (or lack of it) of the analogue in question may be important. In comparing these ED50 values, the difference in experimental conditions for cytotoxicity determination (long...
