    Notes: Abstract: Twenty analogs of l-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tet-rahydropyridine (MPTP) were tested for their capacity to be xidized by pure monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) prepared from human placenta and pure monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) prepared from beef liver. Several of the MPTP analogs were very good substrates for MAO-A, for MAO-B, or for both and had low Km values and high turnover numbers. These values were similar to or even better than those of kynuramine and benzylamine, good substrates for MAO-A and MAO-B, respectively. MPTP had relatively low Km values for oxidation by both MAO-A and MAO-B. In contrast, the turnover number for MPTP oxidation by MAO-B was considerably higher than the value for MAO-A. The corresponding pyridinium species of MPTP and several of the MPTP analogs inhibited MAO-A competitively with Ki values at micromolar concentrations; in contrast the pyridinium species inhibited MAO-B competitively at considerably higher concentrations (i.e., 100 μM or greater Ki values). The data provide information concerning the structural requirements for the oxidation of tetrahydropyridines by MAO-A and MAO-B and the inhibition of these enzymes by pyridini-ums

    Notes: Abstract The 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (DA, dopamine) uptake inhibitors GBR 13,069, amfonelic acid, WIN-35,065-2, WIN-35,428, nomifensine, mazindol, cocaine, McN-5908, McN-5847, and McN-5292 were effective in preventing [3H]DA and [3H]l-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) uptake in rat and mouse neostriatal tissue slices. These DA uptake inhibitors also were effective in attenuating the MPP+-induced release of [3H]DA in vitro. 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) administration to mice (6 ± 25 mg/kg i.p.) resulted in a large (70–80%) decrement in neostriatal DA. WIN-35,428 (5 mg/kg), GBR 13,069 (10 mg/kg), McN-5292 (5 mg/kg), McN-5908 (2 mg/ kg), and amfonelic acid (2 mg/kg), when administered intraperitoneally 30 min prior to each MPTP injection, fully protected against MPTP-induced neostriatal damage. Other DA uptake inhibitors showed partial protection in vivo at the doses selected. Desmethylimipramine did not prevent [3H]MPP+ uptake or MPP+-induced release of [3H]DA in vitro, and did not protect against MPTP neurotoxicity in vivo. These results support the hypothesis put forth previously by others that the active uptake of MPP+ by dopaminergic neurons is necessary for toxicity.

    Evaluation of the Biological Activity of Several Analogs of the Dopaminergic Neurotoxin 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine (1987)

    Notes: Abstract: Several analogs of l-methyl-4-phenyl-l,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) were synthesized and screened for their capacity to be oxidized by monoamine oxidase (MAO-A or MAO-B) and their capacity to produce nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity in mice. All of the compounds were relatively weak substrates for MAO-A but many of the compounds were found to be good substrates for MAO-B. Only three of the compounds, in addition to MPTP itself, were found to be neurotoxic. These were 1-methyl-4-cyclohexyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, 1 -methyl-4-(2′-methylphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine and 1-methyl-4-(3′-methoxyphenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine. All three of these neurotoxic compounds were found to be substrates for MAO-B; in contrast no compound was found to be neurotoxic that was not oxidized by MAO-B. The capacity of the compounds studied to be oxidized by MAO-B appears to be an important aspect of the neurotoxic process.

    Studies on the Neurotoxicity of 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine: Inhibition of NAD-Linked Substrate Oxidation by Its Metabolite, 1-Methyl-4-Phenylpyridinium (1986)

    Notes: Abstract: The effects of the parkinsonism-inducing neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its 4-electron oxidation product 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) were studied in isolated mitochondria and in mouse brain striatal slices. ADP-stimulated oxidation of NAD-linked substrates was inhibited in a time-dependent manner by MPP+ (0.1–0.5 mM), but not MPTP, in mitochondria prepared from rat brain, mouse brain, or rat liver. Under identical conditions, succinate oxidation was relatively unaffected. In neostriatal slices prepared from the mouse, a species susceptible to the dopaminergic neurotoxicity of MPTP, incubation with either MPP+ or MPTP caused metabolic changes consistent with inhibition of mitochondnial oxidation, i.e., an increase in the formation of lactate and accumulation of the amino acids glutamate and alanine with concomitant decreases in glutamine and aspartate levels. The changes resulting from incubation with MPTP were prevented by the monoamine oxidase inhibitor pargyline, which blocks formation of MPP+ from MPTP. The results suggest that compromise of mitochondrial function and its metabolic sequelae within dopaminergic neurons could be an important factor in the neurotoxicity observed after MPTP administration.

    Studies on the Oxidation of the Dopaminergic Neurotoxin 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridine by Monoamine Oxidase B (1985)

    Notes: Abstract: 1-Methyl-4-phenyl- 1,2,5,6 -tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is a chemical that, after injection into experimental animals, including mice and monkeys, causes a degeneration of the nigrostriatal pathway. We carried out experiments designed to study the in vitro oxidation of MPTP by mouse brain mitochondrial preparations. MPTP was actively oxidized by the mitochondrial preparations, with Km and Vmax values very similar to those of benzyl amine, a typical substrate for MAO-B. MPTP was oxidized considerably better than many of its analogs, even those with relatively minor structural changes. Several monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) were potent inhibitors of MPTP oxidation, and there was a highly significant correlation between the capacity of the MAOI tested to inhibit MPTP oxidation and benzylamine oxidation. There was no correlation between the capacity of the MAOI to inhibit MPTP oxidation and their capacity to inhibit the oxidation of tryptamine, a substrate for MAO-A. In other experiments, MPTP was an excellent substrate for pure MAO-B, prepared from bovine liver. All of these data. combined with the fact that MAO-B inhibitors can protect against MPTP-induced dopami nergic neurotoxicity in vivo. point to an important role for MAO-B in MPTP metabolism in vivo.

    Effects of 1-Methyl-4-Phenyl-1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridine and Related Compounds on the Uptake of [3H]3,4-Dihydroxyphenylethylamine and [3H]5-Hydroxytryptamine in Neostriatal Synaptosomal Preparations (1985)

    Notes: 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is known to cause a destruction of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway in certain animal species including mice. MPTP and some structurally related analogs were tested in vitro for their capacity to inhibit the uptake of [3H]3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine-([3H]DA), [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT), and [3H]γ-aminobutyric acid ([3H]GABA) in mouse neostriatal synaptosomal preparations. MPTP was a very potent inhibitor of [3H]5-HT uptake (IC50 value 0.14 μM), a moderate inhibitor of [3H]DA uptake (IC50 value 2.6 μM), and a very weak inhibitor of [3H]GABA uptake (no significant inhibition observed at 10 μM MPTP). In other experiments, MPTP caused some release of previously accumulated [3H]DA and [3H]5-HT, but in each case MPTP was considerably better as an uptake inhibitor than as a releasing agent. The 4-electron oxidation product of MPTP, i.e., 1-methyl-4-phenyl-pyridinium iodide (MPP+), was a very potent inhibitor of [3H]DA uptake (IC50 value 0.45 μM) and of [3H]5-HT uptake (IC50 value 0.78 μM) but MPP+ was a very weak inhibitor of [3H]GABA uptake. These data may have relevance to the neurotoxic actions of MPTP.
