Highly reactive oxygen species potentially represent a powerful effector mechanism against parasites. They are produced during normal cellular metabolism, especially by activated phagocytes. As can be seen from many studies protozoan and helminth parasites appear to have one or more anti-oxidant enzymes able to scavenge or quench the reactive free-radicals, and there is strong evidence that such enzymes may play crucial role in protecting against host response. Presented there review illustrates that methods to block anti-oxidant protection of parasites may be new field in the search for improved ways to inhibit parasitic survival.
Folates one carbon carriers take part in the metabolism of purine, thymidylate and some amino acids. Internalization of these compounds employs several mechanisms of transport systems. Reduced folate carriers and folate receptors play the most important role in this process. The physiological role of these molecules in normal and neoplastic cells is described regarding changes in transport activity and connection of transport systems with resistance to antifolates and cancer development.
The synergistic effect of trimetrexate (TMTX) and sulphonamide derivatives of quinazoline on the cultured 5178Y murine leukemia cells was examined. On exposure to the slightly inhibitory concentrations of TMTX (0.1 nM) in combination with 2-desamino-2-methyl-10-propargyl-5,8-dideaza-pteroyl-sulphoglyc ine (DMPDDSF) (0.02 microM) a synergistic inhibitory effect of the antifolates on cell growth was observed. These two drugs in the same combination caused also synergistic inhibition of de novo synthesis of thymidylate in intact cells as measured by tritium release from [5-(3)H]deoxyuridylate. This was accompanied by a marked reduction in intracellular concentration of 5,10-methylenetetrahydro-pteroyl-polyglutamate (5,10CH2H4PteGlu(n)) (0.2 microM) and dihydropteroyl-polyglutamate (0.12 microM). In these conditions de novo biosynthesis of purine was decreased by 50%. These observations show that growth inhibition by combined antifolates is mediated by intracellular depletion of the substrate of thymidylate synthase -- 5,10CH2H4PteGlu(n). The results obtained strongly suggest that under certain conditions inhibition of thymidylate synthesis by DMPDDSF is intensified by prior application of TMTX -- an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase.
The effect of thymidylate synthase inhibitors, fluorodeoxyuridine (FdUrd) and its two sulphonamide derivatives was examined in the culture of murine leukemia cells -- 5178Y (parental subline) and its fluorodeoxyuridine resistant subline 5178Y/F. A synergistic effect of the antimetabolites on cell survival was observed on exposure of the culture of either line to a slightly inhibitory concentration of FdUrd (1 nM) in combination with 2-desamino-2-methyl-10-propargyl-5,8-dideaza-pteroylsulphogluta mate or 2-desamino-2-methyl-10-propargyl-5,8-dideaza-pteroylsulphoglyci ne. This effect was accompanied by a marked reduction, in both cell lines of intracellular concentration of 5,10-methylenetetrahydro-pteroyl-polyglutamate, although its concentration in the resistant subline was 3 times as high as in the parental line. The inhibitory effect of combined drugs on the cellular pool of folates in 5178Y line depended also on the sequence of drug addition, whereas in the FdUrd resistant line this sequence was without any effect. The results obtained strongly suggest that under certain conditions inhibition of thymidylate synthesis by antifolates is intensified by a prior use of FdUrd.
