High impact information on benzenesulfinic acid

• Heme oxygenase-1 gene activation by the NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride via a protein kinase B, p38-dependent signaling pathway in monocytes [1].
• Nitrotyrosine formation was inhibited by 1400W, an iNOS inhibitor, by 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfonyl fluoride, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, and by the superoxide dismutase mimetic M40403, but not by the peroxidase inhibitor 4-aminobenzoic hydrazide [2].
• The reactivity and specificity of a series of substituted benzenesulfonyl fluorides with human leukocyte (HL) elastase, cathepsin G, porcine pancreatic (PP) elastase, and bovine chymotrypsin A alpha are reported [3].
• The irreversible proteinase inhibitor Pefabloc (4-[2-aminoethyl] benzenesulfonyl fluoride) inactivates LDL-catalyzed hydrolysis of the short-chain fluorescent phospholipid C6-NBD-PC (1-acyl-2-(N-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)-aminocaproyl phosphatidylcholine) [4].
• Aminoethyl benzenesulfonyl fluoride and its hexapeptide (Ac-VFRSLK) conjugate are both in vitro inhibitors of subtilisin kexin isozyme-1 [5].

Biological context of benzenesulfinic acid

• Regioselectivity and overall reactivity in the hydroxylation of a series of substituted N-benzoyl- and benzenesulfonyl aliphatic and alicyclic amines with rat liver microsomes were investigated [6].
• The effects of substituting the P1' benzenesulfonyl group on antiviral activity and protein binding are described [7].
• Among furoxan derivatives, the benzenesulfonyl hybrid 28, a good NO-donor, triggered a dual NO-dependent muscle relaxation and H(3)-antagonistic effect on guinea-pig intestine [8].
