Disease relevance of acivicin

 

Psychiatry related information on acivicin

 

High impact information on acivicin

  • The pig enzyme, which has Ala-523 in place of Thr-523, is inhibited by acivicin with esterification at Ser-405 [5].
  • Basal CD14 and CD11b expression were slightly reduced by DEX and PTX, but neither drug modified the acivicin-induced increases [6].
  • Thus, DEX and PTX effectively block the acivicin-induced expression of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta, but they have little influence on the acivicin-induced differentiation process.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[6]
  • DEX and PTX did not alter cell growth, and did not block the acivicin-induced block in growth [6].
  • DEX and PTX reduced the acivicin-induced increases in TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta mRNA expression, but they had little or no effect on the acivicin-induced decreases in expression of mRNA for c-myc and c-myb [6].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of acivicin

 

Biological context of acivicin

  • In ECV304 cells and human umbilical venous endothelial cells, acivicin favored Hcy plus Cu2+-induced apoptosis whereas dexamethasone counteracted the apoptotic process [12].
  • Acivicin pharmacokinetics were studied in Phase I patients receiving i.v. treatment on single-dose or daily x5 (daily times five doses) regimens repeated every 3 weeks [13].
  • Acivicin kinetics appeared to be dose-independent over the range of 8.5-150 mg/m2/day [13].
  • Based on previous reports of the biochemical mechanisms of Acivicin actions, several additives to the tissue culture medium were tested for their ability to protect MiaPaCa-2 cells from inhibition of cell cycle progression [14].
  • This study was designed to determine the effects of acivicin on the levels of HL-60 cell mRNA transcripts of several cytokines, growth factors, and protooncogenes implicated in the control of hematopoietic cell proliferation and differentiation [15].
 

Anatomical context of acivicin

 

Associations of acivicin with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of acivicin

  • Acivicin treatment also caused the cells to have diminished steady-state expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) for c-myc and c-myb, and increased expression of mRNA for TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta [6].
  • Acivicin, which inhibits GSH breakdown by gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), had no effect on the enhanced uptake seen during the respiratory burst [18].
  • The activity is membrane-bound and is inhibited by acivicin, a known inhibitor of GGT [19].
  • Acivicin inhibits GMP synthetase irreversibly by covalent modification [20].
  • Furthermore, we report on the detailed characterization of the inhibition of the glutaminase domain, and thus PLP synthesis, by the glutamine analog acivicin [21].
