Abstract
The neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) and its deuterated analogues were oxidized to their corresponding dihydropyridinium species (MPDP+) by preparations of pure human liver MAO B : monoclonal antibody complex to investigate the mechanism of MPTP activation. Lineweaver-Burk plots of initial reaction rates revealed that the Km,app values for the various deuterated MPTP analogues were similar to those of MPTP. In contrast, Vmax,app values were substantially decreased by substitution of deuterium for hydrogen on the tetrahydropyridinium ring, especially at C-6. Deuterium substitution on the N-methyl group alone did not significantly reduce Vmax,app. These studies support the interpretation that oxidation of MPTP at the C-6 position on the tetrahydropyridine ring is a major rate-determining step in its biotransformation by MAO BKeywords
