The actions and interactions of GTN are explored as a guide for nurses to keep in mind when administering GTN to the patient in a cardiovascular emergency. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
A
substantial decrease of the dissociation constant for GTN in the presence of NAD+ seems to be an implausible explanation.4 It is more likely that NAD+ binding exposes a target to GTN that is poorly accessible in the absence of the cofactor. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We
propose that, in addition to the DTT-reversible oxidation of the active site cysteine by GTN, the oxidized cysteinyl and/or some other active site residues may engage in a secondary reaction with GTN to yield an enzyme species that does not support dehydrogenation and is not reduced by DTT. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
m GTN at pH 7.5 resulted in complete
inactivation of acetaldehyde dehydrogenation, whereas the enzyme remained active after preincubation in the absence of GTN. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Importantly, ALDH2-catalyzed GTN
reduction was partly inactivated by preincubation with GTN, suggesting that the inactivation of GTN reduction is also partly irreversible. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
A
secondary reaction, in which GTN or one of its metabolites reacts with an oxidized or nitrated thiol before generation of the disulfide can occur, might result in irreversible formation of thiol sulfinate and sulfonate products (6, 14). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Formation of 1,3-GDN appears to occur through a nonspecific side reaction of the enzyme, which does not involve binding of GTN to the catalytic site because it is insensitive to substrate-competitive inhibitors. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Determination of GTN-derived NO in the Presence of ALDH2 | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
It was one of the goals of the present study to find out whether Alda-1 might be useful as a lead compound for the development of drugs improving the potency of GTN in subjects carrying the ALDH2*2 allele, but our data clearly argue against this possibility. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As expected from the lower GTN affinity of the mutant, the rates of cGMP formation were much lower in the presence of ALDH2*2. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The present results indicate that Alda-1 stimulates established ALDH2 activities by improving NAD binding but does not improve the GTN binding affinity of the Asian variant. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
trinitrate (GTN) was earlier believed to be due to its conversion | |||||||||||||||
