Inhibitors of inosinate dehydrogenase

Biochem Int. 1987 Feb;14(2):211-8.

Abstract

Inosinate dehydrogenase (IMP-dehydrogenase) from Chinese Hamster Ovary cells was found to be inhibited by two types of inhibitors. One type of inhibitor binds competitively at IMP-binding site and other type at NAD-binding site of the enzyme. Some new inhibitors of both classes have been illustrated here and their inhibition constants and type of inhibition determined. NAD-analog of tiazofurin was found to bind with both the sites and this type of inhibitors were found to be non-competitive with IMP and NAD.
