However, preheating of the fluid at 56 degrees C for 30 min or the addition of EDTA to the fluid resulted in the failure of generation of the chemotactic activity after the incubation with OK-432.
(19) We studied the effects of 6-0-acylated derivatives of ascorbate on ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, E.C.4.1.1.17) activity and the ODC-mRNA level in Ehrlich ascites cells.
(20) Virazole 5'-phosphate was subsequently found to be a potent competitive inhibitor of inosine 5'-phosphate dehydrogenase (IMP:NAD(+) oxidoreductase, EC 1.2.1.14) isolated from Escherichia coli (K(m) = 1.8 x 10(-5) M) with a K(i) of 2.7 x 10(-7) M. Guanosine 5'-phosphate (GMP) was a competitive inhibitor of this enzyme with a K(i) of 7.7 x 10(-5) M. Virazole 5'-phosphate was similarly active against IMP dehydrogenase isolated from Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, with a K(i) of 2.5 x 10(-7) M. The K(m) for this enzyme was 1.8 x 10(-5) M, and the K(i) for GMP was 2.2 x 10(-4) M. These results suggest that the antiviral activity of Virazole might be due to the inhibition of GMP biosynthesis in the infected cell at the step involving the conversion of IMP to xanthosine 5'-phosphate.
