- W2328522332 abstract "ABSTRACT Benznidazole (Bz), the drug used for treatment of Chagas' disease (caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi ), is activated by a parasitic NADH-dependent type I nitroreductase (NTR I). However, several studies have shown that other enzymes are involved. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the aldo-keto reductase from T. cruzi ( Tc AKR), a NADPH-dependent oxido-reductase previously described by our group, uses Bz as the substrate. We demonstrated that both recombinant and native Tc AKR enzymes reduce Bz by using NADPH, but not NADH, as a cofactor. Tc AKR-overexpressing epimastigotes showed higher NADPH-dependent Bz reductase activity and a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC 50 ) value for Bz 1.8-fold higher than that of the controls, suggesting that Tc AKR is involved in Bz detoxification instead of activation. To understand the role of Tc AKR in Bz metabolism, we studied Tc AKR expression and NADPH/NADH-dependent Bz reductase activities in two T. cruzi strains with differential susceptibility to Bz: CL Brener and Nicaragua. Taking into account the results obtained with Tc AKR-overexpressing epimastigotes, we expected the more resistant strain, Nicaragua, to have higher Tc AKR levels than CL Brener. However, the results were the opposite. CL Brener showed 2-fold higher Tc AKR expression and 5.7-fold higher NADPH-Bz reduction than the Nicaragua strain. In addition, NADH-dependent Bz reductase activity, characteristic of NTR I, was also higher in CL Brener than in Nicaragua. We conclude that although Tc AKR uses Bz as the substrate, Tc AKR activity is not a determinant of Bz resistance in wild-type strains and may be overcome by other enzymes involved in Bz activation, such as NADPH- and NADH-dependent reductases." @default.
