“…Added to this, the VSPs of Giardia confer antigenic variation (1), and their overexpression is related to high virulence (44). Such conditions have driven our group to search for new antigiardial drugs, with a special interest in triosephosphate isomerase as a molecular target (22,24,31). Based on our previous data, we proposed omeprazole and its isomers (G. López-Ve- lázquez and H. Reyes-Vivas, 6 October 2008, Mexican Patent Office) as drugs with a potential to inhibit GlTIM and kill Giardia trophozoites.…”

“…Although omeprazole modifies 1 of its 5 Cys in the same way as when we used DTNB (22), it does not inactivate HsTIM; indeed, it is almost 3,000 times more resistant than GlTIM. This is due to the properties of the region surrounding Cys 222 in GlTIM and its influence on the affinity for the substrate by the enzyme when such a residue is modified (24,27,31). The fluorescence of GlTIM-omeprazole adducts observed in recombinant enzymes (see Fig.…”

“…3A ). The K m of LvTIM was 0.7 mM, higher than the K m reported for human TIM (0.49 mM) [5] and TIMs from protozoan parasites such as L. donovani (0.328 mM) [18], L. mexicana (0.30 mM) [37], G. lamblia (0.53 mM) [38], T. brucei (0.25 mM) [39], but lower than the K m from TIMs from Vibrio marinus (1.9 mM) [9] or S. cerevisiae (1.27 mM) [40]. The LvTIM k cat was 1.2 × 10 5 min −1 , similar to the k cat reported for other TIMs such L. mexicana (2.5 ×10 5 min −1 ) [37], Helicobacter pylori (8.8 ×10 4 min −1 ) [41], T. brucei (3.7 ×10 5 min −1 ) [39] and rabbit muscle TIM (5.1 ×10 5 min −1 ) [42].…”

“…As previously reported, the crystallization assays of GlTIM are conducted with the C202A mutant, which forms stable dimers that allows obtaining crystals suitable for diffraction [19]. The C202A mutation does not have appreciable effects on the catalytic properties or the susceptibility to cysteine derivatizants of GlTIM [19].…”
