Mimetics of the Selenoenzyme Glutathione Peroxidase: Novel Structures and Unusual Catalytic Mechanisms

Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) mimetics comprise an important class of selenium-containing antioxidants that catalyze the destruction of biologically harmful peroxides in the presence of stoichiometric thiol reductants. The synthesis of two novel cyclic selenium compounds and their evaluation as GPx mimetics was achieved. The first is a cyclic seleninate ester that is formed in situ from the oxidation of allyl 3-hydroxypropyl selenide. The second is a spirodioxyselenurane that is similarly formed from di(3-hydroxypropyl) selenide. Both compounds were shown to be remarkably active catalysts in an assay based on the reduction of t-butyl hydroperoxide with benzyl thiol. The mechanisms of the catalytic cycles of the two novel selenium compounds were elucidated and were found to be distinct from each other and from that of GPx.     

Reversible Ca2+ Switch of An Engineered Allosteric Antioxidant Selenoenzyme

A Ca²⁺‐responsive artificial selenoenzyme was constructed by computational design and engineering of recoverin with the active center of glutathione peroxidase (GPx). By combining the recognition capacity for the glutathione (GSH) substrate and the steric orientation of the catalytic selenium moiety, the engineered selenium‐containing recoverin exhibits high GPx activity for the catalyzed reduction of H₂O₂ by glutathione (GSH). Moreover, the engineered selenoenzyme can be switched on/off by Ca²⁺‐induced allosterism of the protein recoverin. This artificial selenoenzyme also displays excellent antioxidant ability when it was evaluated using a mitochondrial oxidative damage model, showing great potential for controlled catalysis in biomedical applications.

具有GPX活力的抗体片段Fv的制备和性质

具有谷胱甘肽(GSH)结合部位的鼠抗体3H₄(IgM)经胃蛋白酶水解,产生分子量为25000的抗体Fv片段,用荧光滴定法测定了它与GSH的亲和常数K_a=1.17×10₇L/mol.该片段经苯甲基磺酰氟活化,再经NaHSe作用,其结合部位的丝氨酸被突变为谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GPX)的催化基团硒代半胱氨酸.突变后的Fv片段表现出很高的GPX活性,其活力高达2500U/μmol,称为Fv抗体酶.动力学分析表明,Fv酶的最适温度为55℃,最适pH为7.0,催化机制为乒乓机制,米氏常数分别为:K_m(GSH)=4.16×10^-3mol/L,K_m(H₂O₂)=2.8×10^-4mol/L.     

A Glutathione Peroxidase Mimic 6,6′-Ditellurobis (6-Deoxy-β-Cyclodextrin) with High Substrate Specificity

Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) is one of the most important antioxidative selenoenzymes in living organisms. The novel GPx mimic 6,6′-ditellurobis(6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin) (6-TeCD) was prepared and evaluated for its capacity to catalyze the reduction of H₂O₂, tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), and cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH) by glutathione (GSH) or 3-carboxy-4-nitrobenzenethiol (ArSH). Compared the ArSH assay with the coupled reductase assay, we found that 6-TeCD exhibited strong substrate specificity for aromatic thiol substrate. The specificity led to efficient peroxidase activity almost 100,000-fold than that for a well-known GPx mimic diphenyl diselenide (PhSeSePh). Furthermore, reduction of lipophilic CuOOH was proceeded ca. 30 times faster than the more hydrophilic H₂O₂, which cannot bind into the hydrophobic cavity of β-cyclodextrin. Thus, it seemed that catalytic activity of cyclodextrin-derived GPx models strongly depends on the structurally different both substrates hydroperoxides (ROOH) and thiols.     

Aromatic Ring Strain in Arylselenenyl Bromides: Role in Facile Synthesis of Selenenate Esters via Intramolecular Cyclization

The synthesis and reactivity of 2,6‐disubstituted arylselenium compounds derived from 2‐bromo‐5‐tert‐butylisophthalic acid ( 43 ) are described. The syntheses of bis(5‐tert‐butylisophthalic acid dimethyl ester)diselenide ( 46 ) and bis(5‐tert‐butylisophthalic acid diisopropyl ester)diselenide ( 47 ) have been achieved by the reaction of the corresponding ester precursors with disodium diselenide. Reduction of diselenide 46 with lithium aluminum hydride affords 2,2′‐bis(5‐tert‐butylbenzene‐1,3‐dimethanol)diselenide ( 53 ). Diselenides 46 and 47 exhibit intramolecular Se???O interaction. Compound 53 does not show any intramolecular Se???O interaction. The anomalous Se???O nonbonded coordination observed in the single‐crystal X‐ray structures of compounds 46 , 47 and 53 is compared and contrasted. The corresponding selenenyl bromides 54 and 55 , derived from the reaction of diselenides 46 and 47 with bromine, are quite stable in the solid state. However, they undergo hydrolysis and subsequent intramolecular cyclization upon heating or after having been kept in solution over a period of time to give the corresponding selenenate esters 56 and 57 . The X‐ray crystallographic study and density functional theory calculations on 54 at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d) level of theory indicate a significant distortion in planarity of the aromatic ring. Glutathione peroxidase‐like activities of diselenides 46 and 47 and their selenenate esters 56 and 57 have been studied both by thiophenol and bioassay methods. The very low glutathione peroxidase‐like activity of the diselenides ( 46 and 47 ) and their selenenate esters ( 56 and 57 ) in the thiophenol assay is attributed to the presence of the relatively strong Se???O intramolecular interaction in the selenenyl sulfide intermediates. The interaction retards the catalytic activity through both thiol exchange and an intramolecular cyclization reaction.
