Molecular Basis for the Interaction of Catalase with D-Penicillamine : Rationalization of some of its Deleterious Effects
2021-09-17
Abstract excerpt
D-penicillamine (D-Pen) is a sulfur compound used in the management of rheumatoid arthritis, Wilson’s disease (WD), and alcohol dependence. Many side effects are associated with its use, particularly after long-term treatment. However, the molecular bases for such side effects are poorly understood. Based on the well-known oxidase activity of hemoproteins, and the participation of catalase in cellular H 2 O 2 re...
