Organic iodides are used in veterinary products (Organic Iodide Powder) as a nutritional source of iodine. 144-48-9, formula is C2H4INO, Name is 2-Iodoacetamide. In the chemical industry, alkyl iodides serve as excellent alkylating agents and, specifically, methyl iodide is used as a methylating agent in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical drugs. Application In Synthesis of 144-48-9.
Dahdouh, Amel;Boucherba, Nawel;Bouacem, Khelifa;Mechri, Sondes;Amirouche, Adel;Aksas, Ali;Jaouadi, Bassem;Kati, Djamel Edine research published 《 A new peroxidase from the roots of the Algerian white turnip (Brassica rapa, variety rapa): extraction, purification, characterisation, and antioxidant potential》, the research content is summarized as follows. Due to its various biol. activities, the roots of Brassica rapa (turnip), has been applied as a therapeutic agent in traditional medicine. The current study aimed to purify a plant peroxidase (POD; designated as TRP) from Algerian white turnip (B. rapa, variety rapa) roots, to homogeneity and to characterize it biochem. The mol. weight of the purified TRP was determined to be ∼58 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and high-performance liquid chromatog. (HPLC). The TRP Reinheitzahl values (RZ) and specific activity were 2.9 and 14,500 U/mg, resp. Its N-terminal sequence exhibited high identity with those of class III-PODs. TRP showed optimal activity at 55 °C and pH 6 (guaiacol), was completely inhibited by sodium azide (NaN3) and potassium cyanide (KCN) and exhibited greater catalytic efficiency than that of the well-known horseradish peroxidase (HRP) from Armoracia rusticana. TRP demonstrated antioxidant activities with 45% and 61.49% of 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•) and hydroxyl (•OH) radical scavenging, resp., as well as ferrous ion chelating (52.96%) and reducing (48.32%) powers. This study provides information regarding the potential role of TRP in enzyme therapy (as applied in the pharmaceutical and medicinal industries), with biol. eradication of free radicals.
Application In Synthesis of 144-48-9, 2-Iodoacetamide is a synthetic retinoid that binds to the DNA of cells, altering transcription. It also has been found to be effective in treating bowel disease and has been shown to have dna binding activity. The compound was synthesized by attaching iodine molecules to acetamide. 2-Iodoacetamide targets the protein thiols on the surface of cells, which are responsible for oxidation and damage due to reactive oxygen species (ROS). This compound is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase and can be used as a biological sample or natural compound is a compound used as an electrophile for covalent modification of nucleophilic residues on proteins (cysteine, methionine, histidine). When modifying the active-site residues of cysteine proteases, α-Iodoacetamide acts as an irreversible inhibitor of these enzymes.
2-Iodoacetamide used in peptide mapping because it covalently binds with thiols in cysteine residues, thereby preventing disulfide bond formation. By virtue of reaction with cysteine, it is an irreversible inhibitor of enzymes with cysteine at the active site. Also reacts with histidine residues though much more slowly, and this activity is responsible for inhibition of ribonuclease.
An alkylating sulfhydryl reagent. Its actions are similar to those of iodoacetate., 144-48-9.
