Characterization of the PON1 active site using modeling simulation, in relation to PON1 lactonase activity

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 16 , 7504-9, (2008)

Paraoxonase1 (PON1) is a HDL bound enzyme and many of the anti-atherogenic properties of HDL are attributed to PON1. The enzyme precise mechanism of protective action and its endogenous substrate remain elusive. PON1 hydrolyzes organophosphates, arylesters an...

Enantioselectivity of alpha-benzyl-alpha-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone-mediated modulation of anticonvulsant activity and GABA(A) receptor function.

J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 309(2) , 677-83, (2004)

Alkyl-substituted butyrolactones have both inhibitory and stimulatory effects on GABA(A) receptors. Lactones with small alkyl substitutions at the alpha-position positively modulate the channel, whereas beta-substituted lactones tend to inhibit the GABA(A) re...

Sites of reaction of pilocarpine.

J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom. 10(3) , 209-16, (1999)

Analysis of the sites of reaction of a biologically important compound, pilocarpine, a molecule with imidazole and butyrolactone rings connected by a methylene bridge, has been accomplished in a quadrupole ion trap with the aim of characterizing its structure...
