1. Mecanismos moleculares da ação tóxica pró-oxidante de 1,4-diamino-2-butanona, um análogo de putrescina, sobre células de mamíferos e Trypanosoma cruzi / The Molecular mechanisms of pro-oxidant activity of 1,4-diamino-2-butanone, a putrescine analogue, to mammalian cells and Trypanosoma cruzi
α-Aminocarbonyl componds such as 5-aminolevunilic acid (ALA) and aminoacetone (AA) have been shown to exhibit pro-oxidant properties. These compounds undergo phosphate-catalyzed enolization in physiological pH and subsequent aerobic oxidation, yielding reactive oxygen species, NH4+ ions and an α-oxoaldehyde highly cytotoxic. The α-aminoketone 1

2. Metilglioxal: uma toxina endógena?
Methylglyoxal is a very reactive α-oxoaldehyde putatively produced by glycolysis, cytochrome P450-catalyzed acetone oxidation and aminoacetone oxidation. Methylglyoxal has been pointed as a substrate for the glyoxalase system ultimately energy-yielding pyruvate, but methylglyoxal is also a toxicant involved in protein aggregation and DNA modification. Contr

3. Toxicidade de aminoacetona e células produtoras de insulina / Cytotoxity of aminoacetone on insulin-producing cells
Danos induzidos por hiperglicemia em tecidos no diabetes são caracterizados por quatro mecanismos conectados: aumento do fluxo metabólico através da via do poliol, ativação da proteína quinase C (PKC), aumento da atividade da via das hexosaminas e aumento da produção intracelular dos precursores dos produtos finais de glicação avançada (AGEs). Ent

4. Bioquímica e ação citotóxica de alfa-aminocetonas endógenas
alpha-Aminoketones are expected to undergo enolization and subsequent aerobic oxidation yielding oxyradicals and highly toxic a-oxoaldehydes. Our interest has been focused on two endogenous a-aminoketones: 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and aminoacetone (AA), accumulated in porphyrias and diabetes mellitus, respectively, and recently implicated as contributing

5. Urinary amino-acetone excretion in lead workers
Urinary amino-acetone concentrations were determined in a group of 51 persons with industrial exposure to lead and the findings compared with those obtained from a control group of 27 persons having no exposure to lead.

6. Threonine degradation by Serratia marcescens.
The wild strain of Serratia marcescens rapidly degraded threonine and formed aminoacetone in a medium containing glucose and urea. Extracts of this strain showed high threonine dehydrogenase and "biosynthetic" threonine deaminase activities, but no threonine aldolase activity. Threonine dehydrogenase-deficient strain Mu-910 was selected among mutants unable

7. Growth, enzyme levels, and some metabolic properties of an Escherichia coli mutant grown on L-threonine as the sole carbon source.
A mutant of Escherichia coli (designated E. coli SBD-76) that utilizes L-threonine as the sole carbon source was isolated. In contrast with levels in extracts of wild-type cells, the levels of threonine dehydrogenase in extracts of this mutant were 100-fold higher than levels of threonine aldolase or degradative threonine dehydratase.
