5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Protein Synthesis Inhibitors

Compounds which inhibit the synthesis of proteins. They are usually ANTI-BACTERIAL AGENTS or toxins. Mechanism of the action of inhibition includes the interruption of peptide-chain elongation, the blocking the A site of ribosomes, the misreading of the genetic code or the prevention of the attachment of oligosaccharide side chains to glycoproteins. (See all compounds classified as Protein Synthesis Inhibitors.)


Antifungal Agents

Substances that destroy fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. They differ from FUNGICIDES, INDUSTRIAL because they defend against fungi present in human or animal tissues. (See all compounds classified as Antifungal Agents.)


5.2 Mechanism of Action

STIMULATED TRANSPORT OF NUCLEAR RIBONUCLEOPROTEIN COMPLEXES TO CYTOPLASM AFTER ADMIN CYCLOHEXIMIDE TO RATS WAS STUDIED. ADMIN OF 2 MG/KG CYCLOHEXIMIDE CAUSED A DECR IN CONTENT OF TOTAL LIVER NUCLEAR RIBONUCLEOPROTEIN COMPLEX WITHIN 2 HR. THE OVERALL DECR WAS DUE TO AN INCREASED TRANSPORT INTO THE CYTOPLASM, NOT DECREASED SYNTHESIS. OTHER RESULTS SUGGEST THAT DURING INHIBITORY PHASE OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, GENE TRANSCRIPTION CONTINUES & GENE PRODUCT IS TRANSPORTED TO CYTOPLASM FOR TRANSLATION.

PMID:454372 Full text: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1186565 CHIH JJ ET AL; BIOCHEM J 178 (3): 643-9 (1979)


CYCLOHEXIMIDE (2-5 MG/KG BODY WT) CAUSED COMPLETE INHIBITION OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN RAT LIVER WITHIN 30 MIN, & THE LABELING OF NUCLEAR PROTEINS WAS STRONGLY INHIBITED. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, THE AMT OF NUCLEOLAR 45 S PRE-rRNA & ITS OROTATE-(14)C LABELING REMAINED UNAFFECTED FOR AT LEAST 4 HR, INDICATING THAT INITIALLY THE RATES OF SYNTHESIS & PROCESSING OF 45 S PRE-rRNA WERE NOT APPRECIABLY ALTERED. DRASTIC ALTERATIONS IN THE 45 S PRE-rRNA PROCESSING PATHWAYS OCCURRED AT THE EARLY STAGES OF CYCLOHEXIMIDE ACTION. THE CHANNELING OF NUCLEAR PRE-rRNA ALONG ALTERNATIVE PROCESSING PATHWAYS IS UNDER STRINGENT CONTROL BY THE CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF CRITICAL PROTEINS.

PMID:456380 STOYANOVA BB, HADJIOLOV AA; EUR J BIOCHEM 96 (2): 349-56 (1979)


CYCLOHEXIMIDE IS A POTENT INHIBITOR OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN FUNGI & ANIMALS. IT CAUSES AN INCREASE IN ADRENAL RNA, INCREASED PRODUCTION OF GLUCOCORTICOIDS ... & DECREASE IN PYRUVATE UTILIZATION IN ISOLATED ADIPOSE TISSUE.
