Article Synopsis
  • Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, but little is known about the enzyme activities of catalase (CAT), carbonic anhydrases (CA), and xanthine oxidase (XO) in MF patients.
  • A study compared the enzyme activities of 32 MF patients to 26 healthy controls, revealing that CAT and CA activities were significantly lower in MF patients (p < 0.001), while XO activity showed no significant difference (p = 0.601).
  • The researchers suggest that measuring these enzyme levels could serve as a useful diagnostic tool for mycosis fungoides.

Carbazole substituted imines (2a-l) were prepared from N-methyl-3-amino carbazole with different aldehydes. The imines compounds undergo (2+2) cycloaddition reactions with in situ ketenes to produce β-lactam compounds (3a-l). The β-lactam compounds were tested as inhibitors of the xanthine oxidase (XO) purified from bovine milk.

Serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) was purified from bovine serum using hydrophobic interaction chromotography on Sepharose 4B-coupled l-tyrosine 1-naphthylamine gel, and monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Paraoxonase enzyme was immobilized using different ratios of glutaraldehyde and the maximum activity was observed with 7% glutaraldehyde. The effects of inhibition by Mn(+2), Co(+2) and Cu(+2) heavy metals on the immobilized and free enzyme activities were studied.
