    Notes: [Auszug] COOK ET AL. REPLY--There is no doubt that some tissues possess the enzymes necessary to metabolise extracellular purine nucleotides to their equivalent nucleosides, so that there is the likelihood of adenosine being formed from any nucleotide which is based on the adenosine moiety. Although not ...

    Notes: Abstract A novel, inducible carbon-phosphorus bond cleavage enzyme, phosphonopyruvate hydrolase, was detected in cell-free extracts of Burkholderia cepacia Pal6, an environmental isolate capable of mineralising l-phosphonoalanine as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus source. The activity was induced only in the presence of phosphonoalanine, did not require phosphate starvation for induction and was uniquely specific for phosphonopyruvate, producing equimolar quantities of pyruvate and inorganic phosphate. The native enzyme had a molecular mass of some 232 kDa and showed activation by metal ions in the order Co2+ 〉 Ni2+ 〉 Mg2+ 〉 Zn2+ 〉 Fe2+ 〉 Cu2+. Temperature and pH optima in crude cell extracts were ¶50 °C and 7.5, respectively, and activity was inhibited by EDTA, phosphite, sulfite, mercaptoethanol and sodium azide. Phosphonopyruvate hydrolase is the third bacterial C-P bond cleavage enzyme reported to date that proceeds via a hydrolytic mechanism.

    Notes: Summary The general anesthetic urethane (ethyl carbamate) is widely used in electrophysiological in vivo experiments. However, its pharmacological effects are poorly understood. Here, the effects of urethane on in vitro contractile responses of the rat thoracic aortic ring preparation were investigated. Bath application of 5-HT produced a concentration-dependent contractile response (EC50=4.3 × 10−6M). Urethane (11.2 mM=1mg/ml) shifted the concentration — response curve (CRC) for 5-HT to the right (EC50=1.7 × 10−5M) and decreased the maximal contraction by 30.8%. The CRC for NA (EC50=7.2 × 10−9M) was also shifted to the right by urethane (EC50=1.4 × 10−8M), but the shift of the 5-HT-CRC was twice that of the NA-CRC (3.95 vs. 1.95). The CRC to KCl was shifted rightwards only slightly by urethane (ratio 1.27) and the maximal contraction to KCl was not affected. The CRC to replacement of CaCl2 (0.1 – 10 mM) to KCl-depolarized vessels in a Ca2+ -free Krebs solution was unaffected by urethane. Ketanserin (10−9M) antagonized the contraction to 5-HT, and a combination of ketanserin and urethane was markedly more effective than either drug alone, decreasing the maximal contraction by 58%. Antagonism of NA contraction by prazosin (5×10−8M) was not increased by addition of urethane. The urethane dose used here approximates blood and brain concentrations required to produce anesthetic effects in mammals. It is possible that reductions in 5-HT transmission and, to a lesser extent, in NA transmission, but not blockade of Ca2+ or K+ channels, may contribute to the anesthetic effect of urethane. In addition, the action of the selective 5-HT2 antagonist ketanserin is clearly altered by urethane. These findings are important to consider when urethane is used for in vivo neurophysiological investigations, particularly when 5-HT mechanisms are involved.
