title: Amphiphilic cationic drugs and phospholipids influence the activities of beta-galactosidase and beta-glucosidase from liver lysosomal fraction of untreated rats.
abstract: The influence of amphiphilic drugs and phospholipids on the activities of beta-galactosidase and beta-glucosidase from liver lysosomal fractions of untreated rats, isolated by affinity chromatography using castor bean lectins, was studied in vitro. Chloroquine (93 microM) inhibited beta-galactosidase activity by about 30%, while O,O'-bis(diethylaminoethyl)hexestrol showed no inhibitory effect. Neutral phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, sphingomyelin) inhibited the enzyme slightly, while the enzyme activity was drastically reduced in the presence of acidic phospholipids (phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, bis-(monoacylglycero)phosphate). Lysosomal beta-glucosidase was strongly inhibited by chloroquine and O,O'-bis(diethylaminoethyl)-hexestrol. The neutral phospholipids showed only a moderate inhibitory effect, whereas the acidic phospholipids were stimulators. Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate was by far the best stimulating compound.
