Like cysteine and some of its derivatives, tyrosine inhibits liver catalase not only « in vitro » but also « in vivo ». Among the analogues of tyrosine tested, dihydroxyphenylalanine and dihydroxyphenethylamine possess « in vitro » the same activity as tyrosine; the activity of p-hydroxyphenylethanolamine is lower; phenylalanine is inactive. The «in vitro» activity seems to be directly correlated with the auto-oxidability of the various compounds. None of the analogues of tyrosine tested was active «in vivo». The depressing activity of cysteine and of tyrosine on liver catalase apparently has no relationship with the similar action of tumors.

AbstractA study of some antiparasitic properties of several homoallylamines and related tetrahydroquinolines and quinolines, previously described, was carried out using in vitro activity assays against the epimastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi and against Trichomonas vaginalis. Unspecific cytotoxicity against murine macrophages was also studied. Although the antichagasic and trichomonacidal activities are not comparable to those of the standard drugs, nifurtimox and metronidazole, some of the compounds exhibit an interesting specific antiparasitic activity.

ABSTRACT The mode of action of sulfanilyl fluoroquinolones (NSFQs) was investigated with NSFQ-104, NSFQ-105, and some structurally related compounds. Evidence arising from interactions withp-aminobenzoic acid and trimethoprim suggested that a sulfonamidelike mechanism of action makes little or no contribution to the in vitro activity of NSFQs. NSFQ-105 showed an activity that inhibits gyrase-catalyzed DNA supercoiling that is similar to the activity of other fluoroquinolones. Also, NSFQ-105 uptake was decreased by the presence of Mg2+and increased by a lower pH. These results indicate that NSFQs having only one ionizable group could exhibit more favorable kinetics of access to the bacterial cell than zwitterionic fluoroquinolones.
