When pentobarbital is added to a hepatic supernatant enzyme fraction which contains alcohol dehydrogenase from a rat, the rates of the enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol and reduction of acetaldehyde are increased. The pentobarbital enhancement of enzymatic activity which is dependent on pentobarbital concentration is still observed when the enzyme is purified by column chromatography on DEAE- and CM-Sephadex and ammonium sulfate precipitation. In in vitro studies where hepatic tissue slices were incubated with alcohol, pentobarbital inhibited the metabolism of alcohol and increased the acetaldehyde levels in the incubation mixture. The addition of 32.5 mM NAD resulted in a return of alcohol metabolism and acetaldehyde concentrations to control levels.

Pyrazole and 4-methylpyrazole, which are inhibitors of alcohol dehydrogenase, were also found to be effective inhibitors of the oxidation of ethanol by liver microsomes (microsomal fractions) in vitro. Ethanol oxidation by microsomes from rats previously treated for 2 or 3 days with either pyrazole or 4-methylpyrazole appeared to be especially sensitive to inhibition in vitro by pyrazole or 4-methylpyrazole. The kinetics of inhibition by pyrazole or 4-methylpyrazole in all microsomal preparations were mixed, as the Km for ethanol was elevated while Vmax was lowered. However, Ki values for pyrazole (about 0.35 mM) and especially 4-methylpyrazole (about 0.03-0.10 mM) were much lower than those found with the saline controls (about 0.7-1.1 mM). In contrast, Ki values for dimethyl sulphoxide as an inhibitor of microsomal ethanol oxidation were similar in all microsomal preparations. Pyrazole and 4-methylpyrazole reacted with microsomes to produce type II spectral changes whose magnitude increased after treatment with either pyrazole or 4-methylpyrazole. Thus the increased inhibitory effectiveness of pyrazole and 4-methylpyrazole appears to be associated with increased interactions with the cytochrome P-450 isoenzyme(s) induced by these compounds. These isoenzymes have properties similar to those of the isoenzyme induced by chronic ethanol treatment. Therefore, caution is needed in the use of pyrazole or 4-methylpyrazole to assess pathways of ethanol metabolism, especially after chronic ethanol treatment, since these agents, besides inhibiting alcohol dehydrogenase, are also effective inhibitors of microsomal ethanol oxidation.

Iodoacetate inactivates rape alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC 1.1.1.1). The inactivation rate follows the kinetics of the first order, is pH-dependent, and decreases below pH 7.5. Besides irreversible alkylation of the sulfhydryl groups of the enzyme iodoacetate also forms a reversible complex with rape ADH. The coenzyme (NAD) and its analogs (ATP, ADP, AMP) competitively protect the enzyme against alkylation; o-phenanthroline also protects the enzyme against alkylation yet noncompetitively with respect to iodoacetate. Imidazole and o-phenanthroline compete with one another for binding to the protein molecule of rape ADH. Whereas o-phenanthroline decreases the inactivation rate imidazole increases the rate of iodoacetate inactivation.

This paper presents the characteristics, morphology, and properties of alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles, in which polyphenols were extracted from Camellia chrysantha leaves collected in Tam Dao district, Vinh Phuc province (Vietnam). The alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation method at different polyphenol content. The characteristics and morphology of these nanoparticles were investigated using infrared spectroscopy (IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Release kinetic of polyphenols from the alginate/chitosan/polyphenol nanoparticles was conducted in simulated human body fluids. The release kinetics of polyphenols from the above nanoparticles were also evaluated and discussed. The experimental results showed that the release process of polyphenols from the nanoparticles was dependent on three factors: time, pH of solution, and amount of polyphenols.

In this work, all the rate constants in the kinetic mechanism of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol by NAD+, at pH 7.0, 25 ?C, have been estimated. The determination of the individual rate constants was achieved by fitting the reaction progress curves to the experimental data, using the procedures of the FITSIM and KINSIM software package of Carl Frieden. This work is the first report in the literature showing the internal equilibrium constants for the isomerization of the enzyme-NAD+ complex in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed reactions.
