Selective Inhibition of 2-Oxoglutarate and 2-Oxoadipate Dehydrogenases by the Phosphonate Analogs of Their 2-Oxo Acid Substrates.

ABSTRACT: Phosphonate analogs of pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate are established specific inhibitors of cognate 2-oxo acid dehydrogenases. The present work develops application of this class of compounds to specific in vivo inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) and its isoenzyme, 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase (OADH). The isoenzymes-enriched preparations from the rat tissues with different expression of OADH and OGDH are used to characterize their interaction with 2-oxoglutarate (OG), 2-oxoadipate (OA) and the phosphonate analogs. Despite a 100-fold difference in the isoenzymes ratio in the heart and liver, similar Michaelis saturations by OG are inherent in the enzyme preparations from these tissues ( K m O G = 0.45 ± 0.06 and 0.27 ± 0.026 mM, respectively), indicating no significant
