Putrescine Degradation II

Escherichia coli
This pathway demonstrates the degradation of extracellular putrescine in E.coli. Putrescine is imported by putrescine transporter (encoded by puuP gene). Putrescine is γ-glutamylated by activation of ATP which generates γ-glutamyl-putrescine, phosphate, and ADP. γ-glutamyl-putrescine is oxidized by gamma-glutamylputrescine oxidoreductase to form γ-glutamyl-γ-butyraldehyde, also produce ammonium and water. Gamma-glutamyl-gamma-aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase dehydrogenates γ-glutamyl-γ-butyraldehyde to γ-glutamyl-γ-aminobutyrate, which is then dehydrogenated into γ-Aminobutyric acid and L-Glutamic acid by γ-glutamyl-γ-aminobutyrate hydrolase.

Pyocyanine biosynthesis

Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Pyocyanin biosynthesis involves a sequence of enzymatic activities that occur within the bacterial cell. The precursor molecule for pyocyanin production, chorismate, is produced from major metabolic pathways within the bacterial cell, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis. These precursors are enzymatically transformed to pyocyanin by a sequence of processes facilitated by particular enzymes, including phenazine biosynthesis proteins (PhzE,D, and F). These enzymes promote the condensation, cyclization, and oxidation events essential for the synthesis of pyocyanin, which plays an important role in the virulence and pathogenicity.

Pyrantel Drug Metabolism

Homo sapiens
Pyrantel is a drug that is not metabolized by the human body as determined by current research and biotransformer analysis. Pyrantel passes through the liver and is then excreted from the body mainly through the kidney.

Pyridostigmine Action Pathway

Homo sapiens
Pyridostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used for the treatment of myasthenia gravis. It is usually administered intravenously and is very similar to neostigmine but with a less adverse effect profile and longer duration of action. The autoimmune disease known as myasthenia gravis is characterized defect of acetylcholine interacting at the neuromuscular junction. This results in muscle weakness, muscle loss and overall fatigue. Pyridostigmine inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine allowing for an increase in activation and relieving the aforementioned symptoms. It specifically targets and inhibits acetylcholinesterase and cholinesterase, this increases extracellular levels of acetylcholine. Pyridostigmine is administered orally or intravenously, the latter having a better bioavailability. It is hydrolyzed in the blood by cholinesterases and in the liver by microsomal enzymes in the liver. Its main metabolite is 3-hydroxy-N-methyl-pyridinium and eliminated through the urine.
