N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene as effective inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase

Journal Article · · Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.; (United States)
N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene has been found to be an effective inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase. At concentrations of 1 x 10/sup -6/M and 1 x 10/sup -5/M, 38% and 88% inhibition was observed on the oxidase activity towards N/sup 1/-methylnicotinamide. The inhibition was of noncompetitive type and had a Ki value of 4.4 x 10/sup -6/. In contrast, little inhibition of the enzyme was observed with 2-aminofluorene, 2-acetylaminofluorene and acetohydroxamic acid even at a concentration of 1 x 10/sup -4/M.
