Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important biological signaling molecule, and chemical tools for H2S delivery and detection have emerged as important investigative methods. Key challenges in these fields include developing donors that are triggered to release H2S in response to stimuli and developing probes that do not irreversibly consume H2S. Here we report a new strategy for H2S donation based on self-immolation of benzyl thiocarbamates to release carbonyl sulfide, which is rapidly converted to H2S by carbonic anhydrase. We leverage this chemistry to develop easily modifiable donors that can be triggered to release H2S. We also demonstrate that this approach can be coupled with common H2S-sensing motifs to generate scaffolds which, upon reaction with H2S, generate a fluorescence response and also release caged H2S, thus addressing challenges of analyte homeostasis in reaction-based probes.
The advent of chemical tools to probe and manipulate biochemical processes has revolutionized biological investigations. (1) Spawning from initial investigations into fluorescent proteins, (2) small molecule fluorescent reporters now comprise a key pillar of investigative chemical biology with a remarkable diversity of fluorescent tagging and measurement technologies. (3) Recent years have witnessed a significant expansion of sensor development to include imaging tools for transition-metal, alkali, and alkali earth ions. (4) Many of these sensors can provide real-time, quantitative measurements of ion fluxes due to the reversible interaction of the sensor with the analyte, thus enabling imaging of the dynamic process of metal ion trafficking associated with signaling events ranging from Ca2+ sparks during muscle contraction (5) to Zn2+ fluxes during mammalian egg fertilization. (6) Complementing these tools are small molecule donors that release caged analytes at controllable rates. (7) Such platforms provide powerful methods to control levels of specific analytes, including pro-drugs, metal ions, or small reactive sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen species (RSONS), in different biological contexts.
In the last two decades, RSONS have emerged as important bioinorganic molecules involved in myriad biological processes, many of which have been elucidated by utilizing chemical tools for small molecule detection and delivery. RSONS are involved in the complex cellular redox landscape and are often involved in oxidative stress responses, immune responses, signaling pathways and other emerging roles. (8) For example, NO, HNO, and ONOO– play important roles ranging from smooth muscle relaxation to immune response (9) and are largely intertwined with reactive oxygen species, such as O2– and H2O2, which have been implicated in oxidative stress responses and aging mechanisms. (10) Similarly, reactive sulfur species, such as H2S, hydropolysulfides (HSn>1–), and persulfides (RSSH), have recently garnered interest as important signaling molecules with roles in long-term potentiation and cardiovascular health. (11) By contrast to their metal ion counterparts, RSONS are often fleeting and often react irreversibly with cellular targets. This heightened reactivity has provided chemists with significant challenges in developing constructs that can release these molecules under controlled conditions, but have also provided different strategies to devise chemical tools for their detection by engineering reactive groups onto sensing platforms that react selectively albeit irreversibly with the analyte of interest. (12)
Although small molecule donors and reaction-based probes have provided significant insights into RSONS biology, key needs remain. For example, engineering donors with precise but modifiable triggers to enable analyte release in response to specific stimuli and developing reaction-based probes that do not irreversibly consume the analyte would enable new insights. Motivated by these needs we report here a new caged H2S releasing strategy and provide proof-of-concept applications in both small-molecule donor and reaction-based probe design. By leveraging triggerable self-immolative thiocarbamates, we demonstrate access to H2S donors that can be triggered by external stimuli (Figure 1a) and address common issues of analyte consumption in reaction-based fluorescent probes (Figure 1b) by developing analyte-replacement reaction-based platforms (Figure 1c).
Development of analyte-replacement sensing platforms requires two important components: a versatile H2S donation motif that releases H2S in response to a specific trigger, and a method to couple this caged donor to a sensing platform. As a proof-of-concept design toward this objective, we chose to use H2S-mediated azide reduction for our sensing platform, which has emerged as the most common method for H2S detection and exhibits high selectivity for H2S over other RSONS (Figure 2a). (13) Although a number of H2S-donating motifs have been reported, (14) none of these fit the design requirement of our approach. To develop an H2S-donating motif compatible with our design requirements, we reasoned that common strategies in drug and fluorophore release, namely the self-immolative cascade decomposition of para-functionalized benzyl carbamates (Figure 2b), (15-17) could be modified to enable triggered H2S release. Because self-immolative carbamates release an amine-containing payload and extrude CO2 as a byproduct, we reasoned that replacing the carbonyl oxygen with a sulfur atom to generate a thiocarbamate would result in carbonyl sulfide (COS) release (Figure 2c). In a biological environment, COS is quickly hydrolyzed to H2S and CO2 by carbonic anhydrase (CA), which is a ubiquitous enzyme in plant and mammalian cells. (18) The second byproduct of the thiocarbamate self-immolation is a reactive quinone methide, which rapidly rearomatizes upon reaction with nucleophiles, such as water or cysteine. (19) On the basis of the requirements outlined above, we expected that a quenched fluorophore could be functionalized with a p-azidobenzylthiocarbamate to enable H2S-mediated azide reduction to form the transient aryl amine intermediate, which would subsequently undergo the self-immolative cascade reaction to extrude COS/H2S and liberate the fluorophore to access an analyte-replacement sensing motif (Figure 2d).
To confirm that the released COS could generate H2S, we first established that independently prepared COS could be efficiently hydrolyzed to H2S by CA. Upon addition of COS to deoxygenated aqueous buffer (PBS, 1 mM CTAB, pH 7.4) containing CA from bovine erythrocytes, we observed rapid H2S production using an H2S-responsive electrode. In the absence of CA, negligible current was observed from COS alone (Figure S4). (20) We also observed a dose-dependent reduction in H2S production upon addition of the CA inhibitor acetazolamide (AAA), (21) which confirmed the enzymatic hydrolysis of COS by CA (Figure 3).
We next prepared model thiocarbamates to confirm that the proposed decomposition cascade to release COS occurs efficiently and to demonstrate the biological compatibility of this donor motif. We incorporated an azide in the para position of the benzylthiocarbamate to function as the H2S-responsive trigger for self-immolation and COS release. To facilitate NMR identification of the products, we first prepared thiocarbamate 1 with a p-fluoroaniline payload and the corresponding carbamate 2 as a control compound (Figure 4a–c). Although 2 should undergo the same self-immolative decomposition upon azide reduction, it releases CO2 rather than COS and thus should not donate H2S upon reaction with CA. To monitor the reactivity of the model compounds under controlled reaction conditions, we used tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to trigger self-immolation, due to its near-instantaneous reduction of azides. In each case, NMR spectroscopy was used to monitor the reaction. Consistent with our design hypothesis, we observed the disappearance of the benzylic peak, loss of the thiocarbonyl carbon peak, and formation of new resonances upon self-immolation by NMR spectroscopy (Figures S1–S3). All such changes were observed within 5 min of TCEP addition, confirming the rapid self-immolation of the scaffold upon reduction, and were consistent with COS release from the thiocarbamate scaffold upon azide reduction.
Having confirmed that CA rapidly catalyzes COS hydrolysis, we next investigated the H2S-donating ability of model compounds 1 and 2 under identical conditions. Monitoring thiocarbamate 1 in buffer containing CA did not result in H2S formation, confirming that the thiocarbamates do not react directly with CA and that aryl azides are stable in the presence of CA (Figure S5). Upon injection of TCEP, however, rapid release of H2S was observed, indicating that azide reduction to an amine is essential to trigger self-immolation and COS release. Additionally, repeating the experiment with added AAA significantly reduced the rate of H2S production, confirming that uninhibited CA is required for significant H2S production from the triggered thiocarbamate scaffold (Figure 4d). Under identical conditions, the analogous carbamate (2) failed to produce H2S, confirming that the thiocarbamate is required for H2S formation. In total, these experiments demonstrate the validity of using thiocarbamates as a triggerable source of H2S release in aqueous solution, which we expect will prove fruitful for researchers interested in the pharmacological and physiological roles of sulfide-donating molecules. (14)
Expanding on our cuvette-based studies, we also investigated H2S release from model thiocarbamates in whole mouse blood. Although murine systems provide a convenient model, mice have among the lowest CA levels in mammals, with murine blood only containing about 15% of the CA present in human blood, (22) and thus represent a challenging target for sulfide release mediated by CA. To quantify total sulfide levels, we used the monobromobimane (mBB) method which allows for the analytical measurement of different sulfide pools and is compatible with many types of biological samples. (23) Measurement of the total sulfide, which includes free sulfide as well as bound sulfane-sulfur, revealed background levels of 8 μM, which are higher than total sulfide levels commonly observed in plasma, but are consistent with the high sulfane-sulfur content in red blood cells. (23, 24) We prepared thiocarbamate 3, which lacks the azide trigger, to confirm that the thiocarbamate group was stable in whole blood and did not release COS without activation of the trigger group and compared results obtained with this model compound with azide-functionalized 4. Total sulfide levels were measured for each compound, as well as the control, after 30 min of incubation with excess TCEP (Figure 4e). Consistent with our expected results, only samples containing donor 4 with the azide trigger increased total sulfide levels in blood (p ≤ 0.0001). These results establish the stability of the thiocarbamate in biological milieu and confirm that endogenous CA in murine blood, even though significantly lower than in most other biological environments, (22) is sufficient to hydrolyze the COS released from thiocarbamates after the self-immolation cascade is triggered, highlighting the efficacy of this H2S-releasing strategy in biological environments.
Having confirmed the viability of triggered H2S release with the model compounds, we next applied this design to incorporate a fluorophore to access an H2S-responsive fluorescent probe that releases H2S upon H2S detection. Our primary goal was to demonstrate that the thiocarbamate group could be appended to common fluorophore motifs and efficiently quench the fluorescence. We chose to use the methylrhodol (MeRho) (25) fluorophore due to its single fluorogenic amine, which could be readily converted into the desired thiocarbamate. Since the azide-functionalized scaffold would be triggered by H2S to release both MeRho and COS, this would function as a fluorescent H2S probe that would replenish sulfide through the release of COS. To access the desired scaffold, we treated MeRho with thiocarbonyldiimidazole (TCDI) and NEt3 in DMF to afford methylrhodol isothiocyanate (MeRho-NCS) in 60% yield. Subsequent treatment with 4-azidobenzyl alcohol and NaH afforded the methylrhodol thiocarbamate azide (MeRho-TCA) in 35% yield (Figure 5a). We note that one benefit of this simple synthetic route is that almost any fluorophore containing a fluorogenic nitrogen can be functionalized with the benzylazide thiocarbamate group, thus providing access to a diverse library of fluorophores.
With a sulfide-replenishing H2S probe in hand, we investigated the fluorescence response upon addition of sulfide. Treatment of MeRho-TCA with 50 equiv of NaSH in aqueous buffer (PBS, 1 mM CTAB, pH 7.4) resulted in a 65-fold fluorescence turn-on over 90 min (Figure 5b). Additionally, we confirmed that the MeRho-TCA scaffold was selective for HS– over other RSONS, by measuring the fluorescence response to Cys, GSH, Hcy, S2O32–, SO32–, SO42–, H2O2, and NO (Figure 5c). As expected, the MeRho-TCA scaffold exhibited excellent selectivity for sulfide over other RSONs, demonstrating that the thiocarbamate linker group did not erode the selectivity of the azide trigger and also establishing that the MeRho-TCA scaffold can function as a viable H2S reporter. Because MeRho-TCA releases H2S upon reaction with H2S, we note that one consequence of this analyte replacement approach is that the resultant fluorescence response is not directly proportional to the initial H2S concentration. Additionally, in isolated systems, 2 equiv of HS– are required for complete azide reduction, suggesting that the first-generation analyte-replacement scaffolds only replace one-half of the consumed sulfide. (26) It is also possible, however, that in biological media 1 equiv of a thiol may play a role in H2S-mediated azide reduction, which remains a question for future investigations. In the present system, preliminary mechanistic investigations indicate that H2S-mediated azide reduction is the rate-limiting step of the self-immolative process and that the subsequent release of COS and hydrolysis by CA to form H2S is rapid. Taken together, these data highlight the potential of this strategy to access analyte-replacement, reaction-based fluorescent scaffolds.
In summary, we have outlined and demonstrated a new strategy for triggered H2S release based on self-immolative thiocarbamates. Importantly, this strategy provides solutions to key challenges associated with both H2S delivery and detection. Thiocarbamate-based H2S donors provide a new, versatile, and readily modifiable platform for developing new H2S donor motifs that can be triggered by endogenous or biorthogonal triggers. Similarly, this same H2S donation strategy can be coupled to fluorescent probe development to access reaction-based fluorescence reporters that replace the analyte that has been consumed by the detection event. In a broader context, we expect that the self-immolative thiocarbamate donors will find significant utility as a potential platform for academic and potentially therapeutic H2S donors. Moreover, we anticipate that similar strategies can be applied to provide access to other analyte-replacement reaction-based sensing motifs.

To understand the mol. mechanism of the zinc spark, the authors combined four phys. approaches that resolve zinc distributions in single cells: a chem. probe for dynamic live-cell fluorescence imaging and a combination of scanning TEM with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence microscopy and three-dimensional elemental tomog. for high-resoln. elemental mapping. The zinc spark arises from a system of thousands of zinc-loaded vesicles, each of which contains, on av., 106 zinc atoms. These vesicles undergo dynamic movement during oocyte maturation and exocytosis at the time of fertilization. The discovery of these vesicles and the demonstration that zinc sparks originate from them provides a quant. framework for understanding how zinc fluxes regulate cellular processes.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Reactive O species (ROS) have been shown to be toxic but also to function as signaling mols. This biol. paradox underlies mechanisms that are important for the integrity and fitness of living organisms and their aging. The pathways that regulate ROS homeostasis are crucial for mitigating the toxicity of ROS and provide strong evidence about specificity in ROS signaling. By taking advantage of the chem. of ROS, highly specific mechanisms have evolved that form the basis of oxidant scavenging and ROS signaling systems.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous species produced by both bacteria and higher eukaryotic organisms, including mammalian vertebrates, has attracted attention in recent years for its contributions to human health and disease. H2S has been proposed as a cytoprotectant and gasotransmitter in many tissue types, including mediating vascular tone in blood vessels as well as neuromodulation in the brain. The mol. mechanisms dictating how H2S affects cellular signaling and other physiol. events remain insufficiently understood. Furthermore, the involvement of H2S in metal-binding interactions and formation of related RSS such as sulfane sulfur may contribute to other distinct signaling pathways. Owing to its widespread biol. roles and unique chem. properties, H2S is an appealing target for chem. biol. approaches to elucidate its prodn., trafficking, and downstream function. In this context, reaction-based fluorescent probes offer a versatile set of screening tools to visualize H2S pools in living systems. Three main strategies used in mol. probe development for H2S detection include azide and nitro group redn., nucleophilic attack, and CuS pptn. Each of these approaches exploits the strong nucleophilicity and reducing potency of H2S to achieve selectivity over other biothiols. In addn., a variety of methods have been developed for the detection of other reactive sulfur species (RSS), including sulfite and bisulfite, as well as sulfane sulfur species and related modifications such as S-nitrosothiols. Access to this growing chem. toolbox of new mol. probes for H2S and related RSS sets the stage for applying these developing technologies to probe reactive sulfur biol. in living systems.

Pretreatment of rats with acetazolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase [9001-03-0], reduced the blood levels of H2S and decreased the toxicity of COS. NaNO2 pretreatment also protected animals against COS toxicity. Acetazolamide had no effect on H2S toxicity per se. Thus, COS is metabolized to H2S by carbonic anhydrase, and the H2S produced is responsible for COS toxicity.(b) Supuran, C. T.; Scozzafava, A. Bioorg. Med.

(Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.)Quinone methides (QMs) are electrophiles formed in several biol. processes including direct oxidns. of 4-alkylphenols by cytochromes P 450. These species may be responsible for the adverse effects of certain phenolic compds. through protein alkylation, but little information is available concerning specific targets or the resulting mechanisms of cell injury. The present goal was to det. the most likely sites of adduct formation among competing protein nucleophiles utilizing QMs of varying electrophilicity. Reactions of poorly reactive, moderately reactive, and highly reactive QMs, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylene- 2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHT-QM), 6-tert-butyl-2-(2'-hydroxy-1',1'-dimethylethyl)-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHTOH-QM), and 2-tert-butyl-6-methyl-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BDMP-QM), resp., were investigated in aq. solns. with nucleophilic amino acids. Each QM rapidly formed a thioether deriv. of cysteine with little or no competition from the addn. of water (hydration). The α-amino groups were the primary sites of alkylation for all other amino acids examd. including lysine, histidine, tyrosine, and serine, and the pseudo-first order rates were 5 to 8-fold greater than the rates of hydration. Alkylation of the side chain nitrogens of lysine and histidine occurred at about one-fourth the rate of hydration for BDMP-QM, but no reaction was detectable for BHT-QM and no reactions occurred between QMs and amino acid hydroxyl groups. The results indicate that, based on chem. reactivity, peptide alkylation should occur in the order cysteine thiol>N-terminal amino>Nε-lysine=NIm-histidine, with side chain modifications occurring only with the more electrophilic QMs. Reactions of QMs with the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys confirmed the results with amino acids as Nα-glycine alkylation predominated, but side chain adducts also formed with BHTOH-QM and BDMP-QM. Human Hb was treated with QMs, hydrolyzed, and assayed by HPLC-thermospray mass spectrometry. This work revealed that Nε-lysine was the main alkylation site, emphasizing the importance of factors, in addn. to chem. reactivity, which influence protein modification by electrophiles.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A review. At least 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms were isolated in higher vertebrates, where these zinc enzymes play crucial physiol. roles. Some of these isoenzymes are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII), others are membrane-bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV), CAV is mitochondrial and CAVI is secreted in saliva. Three acatalytic forms are also known, which are denominated CA related proteins (CARP), CARP VIII, CARP X, and CARP XI. Several important physiol. and physio-pathol. functions are played by many CA isoenzymes, which are strongly inhibited by arom. and heterocyclic sulfonamides as well as inorg., metal complexing anions. The catalytic and inhibition mechanisms of these enzymes are understood in detail, and this helped the design of potent inhibitors, some of which possess important clin. applications. The use of such enzyme inhibitors as antiglaucoma drugs will be discussed in detail, together with the recent developments that led to isoenzyme-specific and organ-selective inhibitors. A recent discovery is connected with the involvement of CAs and their sulfonamide inhibitors in cancer: several potent sulfonamide inhibitors inhibited the growth of a multitude of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, thus constituting interesting leads for developing novel antitumor therapies. Furthermore, some other classes of compds. that interact with CAs have recently been discovered, some of which possess modified sulfonamide or hydroxamate moieties. Some sulfonamides have also applications as diagnostic tools, in PET and MRI or as antiepileptics or for the treatment of other neurol. disorders. Future prospects for drug design applications for inhibitors of these ubiquitous enzymes are also discussed.

(Elsevier B.V.)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a ubiquitous gaseous signaling mol. that plays a vital role in numerous cellular functions and has become the focus of many research endeavors, including pharmacotherapeutic manipulation. Among the challenges facing the field is the accurate measurement of biol. active H2S. The authors have recently reported that the typically used methylene blue method and its assocd. results are invalid and do not measure bona fide H2S. The complexity of anal. H2S measurement reflects the fact that hydrogen sulfide is a volatile gas and exists in the body in various forms, including a free form, an acid-labile pool, and bound as sulfane sulfur. Here the authors describe a new protocol to discretely measure specific H2S pools using the monobromobimane method coupled with RP-HPLC. This new protocol involves selective liberation, trapping, and derivatization of H2S. Acid-labile H2S is released by incubating the sample in an acidic soln. (pH 2.6) of 100 mM phosphate buffer with 0.1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), in an enclosed system to contain volatilized H2S. Volatilized H2S is then trapped in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.5, 0.1 mM DTPA) and then reacted with excess monobromobimane. In a sep. aliquot, the contribution of the bound sulfane sulfur pool was measured by incubating the sample with 1 mM TCEP (tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride), a reducing agent, to reduce disulfide bonds, in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.6, 0.1 mM DTPA), and H2S measurement was performed in a manner analogous to the one described above. The acid-labile pool was detd. by subtracting the free hydrogen sulfide value from the value obtained by the acid-liberation protocol. The bound sulfane sulfur pool was detd. by subtracting the H2S measurement from the acid-liberation protocol alone compared to that of TCEP plus acidic conditions. In summary, the authors' new method allows very sensitive and accurate measurement of the three primary biol. pools of H2S, including free, acid-labile, and bound sulfane sulfur, in various biol. specimens.

(American Association for the Advancement of Science)A review. Advances in mol. biol., org. chem., and materials science have recently created several new classes of fluorescent probes for imaging in cell biol. Here the authors review the characteristic benefits and limitations of fluorescent probes to study proteins. The focus is on protein detection in live vs. fixed cells: detn. of protein expression, localization, activity state, and the possibility for combination of fluorescent light microscopy with electron microscopy. Small org. fluorescent dyes, nanocrystals ("quantum dots"), autofluorescent proteins, small genetic encoded tags that can be complexed with fluorochromes, and combinations of these probes are highlighted.(b) Lavis, L.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. The study of biomols. in their native environments is a challenging task because of the vast complexity of cellular systems. Technologies developed in the last few years for the selective modification of biol. species in living systems have yielded new insights into cellular processes. Key to these new techniques are bioorthogonal chem. reactions, whose components must react rapidly and selectively with each other under physiol. conditions in the presence of the plethora of functionality necessary to sustain life. Herein the authors describe the bioorthogonal chem. reactions developed to date and how they can be used to study biomols.(b) Li, X. H.; Gao, X. H.; Shi, W.; Ma, H. M. Chem.

(American Chemical Society)A review. Chromogenic and fluorogenic probes may be described as reagents that can interact with analytes (targets) accompanied by the changes of their spectroscopic (chromogenic, or luminescent including chemiluminescent) properties. On the basis of such changes, the analytes can thus be detd. The progress of design strategies in developing a variety of water-sol. small mol. chromogenic and fluorogenic probes that are of good applicability to biosystems are reviewed.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Metals are essential for sustaining all forms of life, but alterations in their cellular homeostasis are connected to severe human disorders, including cancer, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Fluorescent small mols. that respond to metal ions in the cell with appropriate selectivity and sensitivity offer the ability to probe physiol. and pathol. consequences of the cell biol. of metals with spatial and temporal fidelity. Mol. imaging of normal and abnormal cellular metal ion pools using these new chem. tools provides a host of emerging opportunities for visualizing, in real time, aspects of metal accumulation, trafficking, and function or toxicity in living systems. This review presents a brief survey of available synthetic small-mol. sensor types for fluorescence detection of cellular metals.(c) Hyman, L. M.; Franz, K. J. Coord. Chem.

(Nature Publishing Group)Fertilization of a mammalian egg initiates a series of 'zinc sparks' that are necessary to induce the egg-to-embryo transition. Despite the importance of these zinc-efflux events little is known about their origin. To understand the mol. mechanism of the zinc spark, the authors combined four phys. approaches that resolve zinc distributions in single cells: a chem. probe for dynamic live-cell fluorescence imaging and a combination of scanning TEM with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, x-ray fluorescence microscopy and three-dimensional elemental tomog. for high-resoln. elemental mapping. The zinc spark arises from a system of thousands of zinc-loaded vesicles, each of which contains, on av., 106 zinc atoms. These vesicles undergo dynamic movement during oocyte maturation and exocytosis at the time of fertilization. The discovery of these vesicles and the demonstration that zinc sparks originate from them provides a quant. framework for understanding how zinc fluxes regulate cellular processes.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were originally characterized in terms of their harmful effects on cells and invading microorganisms, are increasingly implicated in various cell fate decisions and signal transduction pathways. The mechanism involved in ROS-dependent signaling involves the reversible oxidn. and redn. of specific amino acids, with crucial reactive Cys residues being the most frequent target. In this Review, we discuss the sources of ROS within cells and what is known regarding how intracellular oxidant levels are regulated. We further discuss the recent observations that redn.-oxidn. (redox)-dependent regulation has a crucial role in an ever-widening range of biol. activities - from immune function to stem cell self-renewal, and from tumorigenesis to ageing.

(Elsevier B.V.)A review, with 51 refs., concerned mainly with the three redox-related, but chem. distinct, species NO-, NO· and NO+, with greatest emphasis being placed on the chem. and biol. of the nitroxyl ion. Biochem. routes for the formation of nitroxyl ion and methods for showing the intermediacy of this species are discussed, together with chem. methods for generating nitroxyl ion in soln. Reactions of nitroxyl ion with NO·, thiols, iron centers in heme and with dioxygen are reviewed. The significance of the reaction between NO- and dioxygen as a source of peroxynitrite is assessed, and attention drawn to the possible significance of the spin state of the nitroxyl ion in this context. The biol. significance of nitrosation and the importance of S-nitrosothiols and certain metal nitrosyl complexes as carriers of NO+ at physiol. pH is stressed. Some features in the chem. of peroxynitrite are noted.

(Nature Publishing Group)A review. Reactive O species (ROS) have been shown to be toxic but also to function as signaling mols. This biol. paradox underlies mechanisms that are important for the integrity and fitness of living organisms and their aging. The pathways that regulate ROS homeostasis are crucial for mitigating the toxicity of ROS and provide strong evidence about specificity in ROS signaling. By taking advantage of the chem. of ROS, highly specific mechanisms have evolved that form the basis of oxidant scavenging and ROS signaling systems.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous species produced by both bacteria and higher eukaryotic organisms, including mammalian vertebrates, has attracted attention in recent years for its contributions to human health and disease. H2S has been proposed as a cytoprotectant and gasotransmitter in many tissue types, including mediating vascular tone in blood vessels as well as neuromodulation in the brain. The mol. mechanisms dictating how H2S affects cellular signaling and other physiol. events remain insufficiently understood. Furthermore, the involvement of H2S in metal-binding interactions and formation of related RSS such as sulfane sulfur may contribute to other distinct signaling pathways. Owing to its widespread biol. roles and unique chem. properties, H2S is an appealing target for chem. biol. approaches to elucidate its prodn., trafficking, and downstream function. In this context, reaction-based fluorescent probes offer a versatile set of screening tools to visualize H2S pools in living systems. Three main strategies used in mol. probe development for H2S detection include azide and nitro group redn., nucleophilic attack, and CuS pptn. Each of these approaches exploits the strong nucleophilicity and reducing potency of H2S to achieve selectivity over other biothiols. In addn., a variety of methods have been developed for the detection of other reactive sulfur species (RSS), including sulfite and bisulfite, as well as sulfane sulfur species and related modifications such as S-nitrosothiols. Access to this growing chem. toolbox of new mol. probes for H2S and related RSS sets the stage for applying these developing technologies to probe reactive sulfur biol. in living systems.

Pretreatment of rats with acetazolamide, an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase [9001-03-0], reduced the blood levels of H2S and decreased the toxicity of COS. NaNO2 pretreatment also protected animals against COS toxicity. Acetazolamide had no effect on H2S toxicity per se. Thus, COS is metabolized to H2S by carbonic anhydrase, and the H2S produced is responsible for COS toxicity.(b) Supuran, C. T.; Scozzafava, A. Bioorg. Med.

(Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.)Quinone methides (QMs) are electrophiles formed in several biol. processes including direct oxidns. of 4-alkylphenols by cytochromes P 450. These species may be responsible for the adverse effects of certain phenolic compds. through protein alkylation, but little information is available concerning specific targets or the resulting mechanisms of cell injury. The present goal was to det. the most likely sites of adduct formation among competing protein nucleophiles utilizing QMs of varying electrophilicity. Reactions of poorly reactive, moderately reactive, and highly reactive QMs, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylene- 2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHT-QM), 6-tert-butyl-2-(2'-hydroxy-1',1'-dimethylethyl)-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BHTOH-QM), and 2-tert-butyl-6-methyl-4-methylene-2,5-cyclohexadienone (BDMP-QM), resp., were investigated in aq. solns. with nucleophilic amino acids. Each QM rapidly formed a thioether deriv. of cysteine with little or no competition from the addn. of water (hydration). The α-amino groups were the primary sites of alkylation for all other amino acids examd. including lysine, histidine, tyrosine, and serine, and the pseudo-first order rates were 5 to 8-fold greater than the rates of hydration. Alkylation of the side chain nitrogens of lysine and histidine occurred at about one-fourth the rate of hydration for BDMP-QM, but no reaction was detectable for BHT-QM and no reactions occurred between QMs and amino acid hydroxyl groups. The results indicate that, based on chem. reactivity, peptide alkylation should occur in the order cysteine thiol>N-terminal amino>Nε-lysine=NIm-histidine, with side chain modifications occurring only with the more electrophilic QMs. Reactions of QMs with the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys confirmed the results with amino acids as Nα-glycine alkylation predominated, but side chain adducts also formed with BHTOH-QM and BDMP-QM. Human Hb was treated with QMs, hydrolyzed, and assayed by HPLC-thermospray mass spectrometry. This work revealed that Nε-lysine was the main alkylation site, emphasizing the importance of factors, in addn. to chem. reactivity, which influence protein modification by electrophiles.

(John Wiley & Sons, Inc.)A review. At least 14 different carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms were isolated in higher vertebrates, where these zinc enzymes play crucial physiol. roles. Some of these isoenzymes are cytosolic (CA I, CA II, CA III, CA VII), others are membrane-bound (CA IV, CA IX, CA XII, and CA XIV), CAV is mitochondrial and CAVI is secreted in saliva. Three acatalytic forms are also known, which are denominated CA related proteins (CARP), CARP VIII, CARP X, and CARP XI. Several important physiol. and physio-pathol. functions are played by many CA isoenzymes, which are strongly inhibited by arom. and heterocyclic sulfonamides as well as inorg., metal complexing anions. The catalytic and inhibition mechanisms of these enzymes are understood in detail, and this helped the design of potent inhibitors, some of which possess important clin. applications. The use of such enzyme inhibitors as antiglaucoma drugs will be discussed in detail, together with the recent developments that led to isoenzyme-specific and organ-selective inhibitors. A recent discovery is connected with the involvement of CAs and their sulfonamide inhibitors in cancer: several potent sulfonamide inhibitors inhibited the growth of a multitude of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, thus constituting interesting leads for developing novel antitumor therapies. Furthermore, some other classes of compds. that interact with CAs have recently been discovered, some of which possess modified sulfonamide or hydroxamate moieties. Some sulfonamides have also applications as diagnostic tools, in PET and MRI or as antiepileptics or for the treatment of other neurol. disorders. Future prospects for drug design applications for inhibitors of these ubiquitous enzymes are also discussed.

(Elsevier B.V.)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a ubiquitous gaseous signaling mol. that plays a vital role in numerous cellular functions and has become the focus of many research endeavors, including pharmacotherapeutic manipulation. Among the challenges facing the field is the accurate measurement of biol. active H2S. The authors have recently reported that the typically used methylene blue method and its assocd. results are invalid and do not measure bona fide H2S. The complexity of anal. H2S measurement reflects the fact that hydrogen sulfide is a volatile gas and exists in the body in various forms, including a free form, an acid-labile pool, and bound as sulfane sulfur. Here the authors describe a new protocol to discretely measure specific H2S pools using the monobromobimane method coupled with RP-HPLC. This new protocol involves selective liberation, trapping, and derivatization of H2S. Acid-labile H2S is released by incubating the sample in an acidic soln. (pH 2.6) of 100 mM phosphate buffer with 0.1 mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), in an enclosed system to contain volatilized H2S. Volatilized H2S is then trapped in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.5, 0.1 mM DTPA) and then reacted with excess monobromobimane. In a sep. aliquot, the contribution of the bound sulfane sulfur pool was measured by incubating the sample with 1 mM TCEP (tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride), a reducing agent, to reduce disulfide bonds, in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.6, 0.1 mM DTPA), and H2S measurement was performed in a manner analogous to the one described above. The acid-labile pool was detd. by subtracting the free hydrogen sulfide value from the value obtained by the acid-liberation protocol. The bound sulfane sulfur pool was detd. by subtracting the H2S measurement from the acid-liberation protocol alone compared to that of TCEP plus acidic conditions. In summary, the authors' new method allows very sensitive and accurate measurement of the three primary biol. pools of H2S, including free, acid-labile, and bound sulfane sulfur, in various biol. specimens.
