Mutagenic investigation of flavourings: dimethyl succinate, ethyl pyruvate and aconitic acid are negative in the Salmonella/mammalian-microsome test.

Food Addit. Contam. 1(3) , 283-8, (1984)

Three flavourings: dimethyl succinate, ethyl pyruvate and aconitic acid, commonly used in candy, beverages, and baked goods, were tested in the Salmonella/mammalian-microsome test. Tester strains were TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98 and doses were 32, 160,...

The substrate binding site of aldehyde reductase from pig liver. Stereochemical investigations using NADP--2-oxodiacid adducts as probe.

Eur. J. Biochem. 121(2) , 407-11, (1982)

Aldehyde reductase I from pig liver is strongly inhibited by cyclized NADP--2-oxodiacid adducts. This result, in conjunction with those showing a strong inhibitory effect of certain diacid derivatives, such as (+/-)-dimethylsuccinic acid, towards aldehyde red...

Gem-dialkyl succinic acids: a novel class of inhibitors for carboxypeptidases.

Biochemistry 36(29) , 8710-5, (1997)

gem-Dimethylsuccinic acid and its higher homolog, 2-methyl-2-ethylsuccinic acid (MESA) are highly potent inhibitors of both carboxypeptidase A (CPA) and B. The inhibition constant of MESA for CPA (0.11 microM for the racemic mixture) is remarkable considering...

The renal Na(+)-dependent dicarboxylate transporter, NaDC-3, translocates dimethyl- and disulfhydryl-compounds and contributes to renal heavy metal detoxification.

J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 13(11) , 2628-38, (2002)

The active transport of Krebs cycle intermediates, such as succinate, alpha-ketoglutarate, and citrate, is mediated by sodium-coupled transporters found in the luminal (NaDC-1) and basolateral plasma membranes (NaDC-3) of proximal tubule cells. This study use...

An oral treatment for lead toxicity.

Postgrad. Med. J. 67(783) , 63-5, (1991)

Chronic lead poisoning has traditionally been treated by parenteral agents. We present a case where a comparison of ethylene diaminetetra-acetic acid was made with 2,3-dimethyl succinic acid (DMSA) which has the advantage of oral administration associated wit...
