A case similar to the slow, practically irreversible inhibition of jack bean a-D-mannosidase by swainsonine is represented by the interaction of castanospermine with isomaltase and rat-intestinal sucrase. Whereas the association constants for the formation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex were similar to those of other slow-binding glycosidase inhibitors (6.5 10 and 0.3 10 M s for sucrase and isomaltase, respectively), the dissociation constant of the enzyme-inhibitor complex was extremely low (3.6 10 s for sucrase) or could not be measured at all (isomaltase), resulting in a virtually irreversible inhibition. Danzin and Ehrhard discussed the strong binding of castanospermine in terms of the similarity of the protonated inhibitor to a D-glucosyl oxocarbenium ion transition-state, but were unable to give an explanation for the extremely slow dissociation of the enzyme-inhibitor complex. 

This is exactly what one would expect for binding of deprotonated enzyme to protonated inhibitor. The pH of maximal inhibition ( 7) is well removed from the pH optimum of catalysis (<5). However, as with all pH variation studies (see the discussion of kinetic equivalence, Section 3.7.4), information is provided on the composition of the complex, not its structure. If we set B = AK j Ki, then eqn. (5.28) holds, giving the appearance of the binding of protonated enzyme to deprotonated inhibitor. pH variation studies cannot by themselves make the distinction between the two modes of binding.

Other auxin-like herbicides (2,48) include the chlorobenzoic acids, eg, dicamba and chloramben, and miscellaneous compounds such as picloram, a substituted picolinic acid, and naptalam (see Table 1). Naptalam is not halogenated and is reported to function as an antiauxin, competitively blocking lAA action (199). TIBA is an antiauxin used in receptor site and other plant growth studies at the molecular level (201). Diclofop-methyl and diclofop are also potent, rapid inhibitors of auxin-stimulated response in monocots (93,94). Diclofop is reported to act as a proton ionophore, dissipating cell membrane potential and perturbing membrane functions. 

Moreover, receptors also control gastric acid release, although some marked species dependence is noticed (8). However, appHcation of agonists in this area does not seem to be probable the antagonists and the proton pump inhibitors serve quite weU. 

Antacids are neutralizing agents. Examples are magnesium hydroxide, magnesium trisylicate and aluminium hydroxide. Prior to the introduction of histamine-H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors, they were the standard drugs for the treatment of duodenal/ peptic ulcers. Today their clinical use is limited to the treatment of dyspepsia and the symptomatic relieve for patients with peptic ulcers.

Cytochrome P450 2C19, also termed S-mephenytoin hydroxylase, is a mixed-function oxidase localized in the endoplasmic reticulum which is responsible for the biotransformation of S-mephenytoin, some barbiturates, almost all proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole, diazepam and others. 

The potency of the inhibitors is affected by the pH. Changes in pH affect the protonation state of the guanidine. In conditions of low pH, such as in ischemia-reperfusion, some dtugs such as cariporide work more efficiently because they are on average more positively charged.

The first compound of this class with inhibitory activity on the enzyme and on acid secretion was the 2-(pyridylmethyl)sulfinylbenzimidazole, timopra-zole, and the fust pump inhibitor used clinically was omeprazole, 2-[[3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxypyridin-2-yl] methylsulfinyl]-5-methoxy- lH-benzimidazole. Omeprazole is an acid-activated prodrug. Omeprazole and the other PPIs are accumulated in the acidic space of the parietal cell due to the pKa of the pyridine nitrogen and these are converted due to protonation of the benzimidazole nitrogen first to a thiol-reactive cationic sulfenic acid and then dehydrated to form the sulfenamide (Fig. 1). These thiophilic cations then bind to luminally...
