The inhibition of dihydrofolate reductases from Escherichia coli and chicken liver by folate, methotrexate, aminopterin and their 5-deaza analogues was investigated to examine the importance of the N-5 nitrogen in slow-binding inhibition. Methotrexate, aminopterin and their 5-deaza analogues acted as slow, tight-binding inhibitors of both enzymes. Inhibition by methotrexate and 5-deazamethotrexate conformed to a mechanism in which there is an initial rapid formation of an enzyme-NADPH-inhibitor… CONTINUE READING
