Chemical compound and disease context of penicillamine

 

Biological context of penicillamine

  • Both the copper-chelating and immunological effects of penicillamine are probably important in improving survival [20].
  • Liver histology demonstrated a comparative improvement in cholestasis in patients on penicillamine, but the degree of inflammation, necrosis, and the histological stage of disease remained similar in both groups [21].
  • Although exhalation of mercury vapor was a major route of excretion and urinary mercury rose fivefold with administration of penicillamine, excretion by all routes, estimated for the year after injection, represented only 1% of the dose [22].
  • The most potent analog, D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Pen-Thr-NH2 where Pen is penicillamine in [D-Phe5, Cys6, Tyr7, D-Trp8, Pen11]somatostatin-(5-12)-octapeptide amide, exhibited high affinity for mu-opiate receptors (IC50 value of [3H]naloxone = 3.5 nM), being 7800 times more potent than somatostatin [23].
  • In this study, exogenous NO produced by adding the NO-generator S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine gave a dose-dependent upregulation of transferrin receptor expression by K562 erythroleukemia cells and increased levels of transferrin receptor mRNA [24].

Gene context of penicillamine

  • Both S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine and diethylenetriaminelNONOate dose-dependently suppressed [3H]-thymidine incorporation in cultured HPASMC, and induced the expression of p53 and p21 protein [34].
  • Similar to LM, CM of Cav1(-/-) mice showed a reduced responsiveness to the NO donors sodium nitroprusside and S-nitroso-N-acetyl penicillamine [35].
  • Inhibition of the covalent binding reaction of complement component C4 by penicillamine, an anti-rheumatic agent [36].
  • Whilst eNOS/NO appears not to be pivotal to early ischaemic preconditioning, NO can nonetheless mediate protection in both WT and KO hearts, as the NO donor, S-nitroso N-acetyl penicillamine (2 microM), was seen to mimic preconditioning protection [37].
  • Dialysis of the PbCl2-inhibited enzyme against buffer alone or buffer plus DL-penicillamine did not result in restoration of PNMT activity [38].
