Studies on inhibition of adenosine deaminase by isocoformycin in vitro and in vivo.

Isocoformycin is a structural isomer of coformycin which has been demonstrated to be a potent inhibitor of adenosine deaminase. Isocoformycin showed a weaker inhibition of this enzyme than coformycin; the binding of coformycin to enzyme was irreversible, but isocoformycin inhibition was competitive with substrate. The Ki value of isocoformycin was 4.5 approximately 10 X 10(-8) M. Following intraperitoneal injection of isocoformycin in mice, the adenosine deaminase activity of homogenates of several organs was determined and the following ED50 values (50% inhibition doses) were observed: 29 mg/kg for thymus, 13 mg/kg for spleen, 80 mg/kg for liver and 20 mg/kg for kidney. The inhibition of adenosine deaminase in rabbit blood in vitro was also tested in comparison with coformycin.

47,+(9q-) in unrelated three children with plasma growth hormone deficiency.

Marker chromosomes carried by unrelated 3 cases were identified as a part of No. 9 chromosome through the analysis of the chromatid fine structure after trypsin-giemsa treatment. They showed characteristic features of that 9p trisomic syndrome which were described by Rethoré et al. (1973). In addition to those features, some clinical and laboratory findings on growth hormon deficiency were disclosed in this report.
