Abstract
A novel artificial peroxidase has been developed for the efficient degradation of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug meloxicam by combining computer simulation and genetic engineering techniques. The results showed that the artificial peroxidase was able to completely degrade meloxicam within 90 s, with a degradation rate of 100 %, which was much higher than that of natural lacquer (46 %). The reaction time of the artificial enzyme was significantly shorter than that of natural peroxidase (10 min) and laccase (48 h). Further studies showed that the amino acid arrangement of the active site of the protein plays an important role in the catalytic performance. The degradation pathway of meloxicam was revealed using UPLC-MS analysis. In vitro toxicity assay showed complete disappearance of toxicity after meloxicam degradation. Therefore, the biocatalytic system proved to be an effective route for the green degradation of meloxicam with important application potential.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
