Superoxide Radicals DegradationEscherichia coli
In gram-negative bacteria, cytoplasmic and periplasmic isozymes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) is their defense system against superoxide anion (O2-). In E.coli, there are several SOD isozymes which are manganese-cofactored (MnSOD), iron-cofactored (FeSOD) and copper, zinc-cofactored (CuZnSOD) in perplasm, and they can be generated by autooxidation of dihydromenaquinone in the cytoplasmic membrane. In E.coli, MnSOD and FeSOD have similar structure and kinetic, but CuZnSOD is monomeric. FeSOD is the only SOD in E.coli under anaerobic conditions. MnSOD is induced by environmental stress condition as well as aerobic growth. CuZnSOD is induced in stationary phase. SOD will catalyze the superoxide anion to form oxygen and H2O2. With increasing concentration of H2O2, catalase such as cryptic adenine deaminase is induced in E.coli to degrade H2O2 into water and oxygen.

Suprofen Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Suprofen (also named Profenal and Maldocil) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It can be used to relieve pain (analgesic) and reduce fever (antipyretic). Suprofen is also a type of ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medicines which may be used to help prevent eye constrict for pupil during surgery. Suprofen can block prostaglandin synthesis by the action of inhibition of prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2. Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 and 2 catalyze the arachidonic acid to prostaglandin G2, and also catalyze prostaglandin G2 to prostaglandin H2 in the metabolism pathway. Since prostaglandin is the messenger molecules in the process of inflammation; hence, inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis can reduce the pain and inflammation (e.g. in the eyes).

Suprofen NSAID Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Suprofen is an NSAID used to prevent pupil constriction in ocular surgery Ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medicines are used in the eye to lessen problems that can occur during or after some kinds of eye surgery. Sometimes, the pupil of the eye gets smaller during an operation (pupil constriction), making it more difficult for the surgeon to reach some areas of the eye. Suprofen is used to help prevent this. It targets the prostaglandin G/H synthase-1 (COX-1) and prostaglandin G/H synthase-2 (COX-2) in the cyclooxygenase pathway. The cyclooxygenase pathway begins in the cytosol with phospholipids being converted into arachidonic acid by the action of phospholipase A2. The rest of the pathway occurs on the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, where prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 & 2 converts arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H2. Prostaglandin H2 can either be converted into thromboxane A2 via thromboxane A synthase, prostacyclin/prostaglandin I2 via prostacyclin synthase or prostaglandin E2 via prostaglandin E synthase. COX-2 is an inducible enzyme, and during inflammation, it is responsible for prostaglandin synthesis. Suprofen binds to the cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) isoenzymes, preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins and reducing the inflammatory response. Prostaglandins act as messenger molecules in the process of inflammation. The overall result is a reduction in pain and inflammation in the eyes and the prevention of pupil constriction during surgery. Normally trauma to the anterior segment of the eye (especially the iris) increases endogenous prostaglandin synthesis which leads to constriction of the iris sphincter.
