Purification of CA Isoenzymes from Human Cancerous Colon Tissue and Inhibitory Effects of Some Analgesics on Enzyme Activity

Abstract

Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme which is responsible for the hydration of carbon dioxide to carbonic acid and it also takes places in many biological processes in the living organisms. In this study, CA isoenzymes (CA II and CA IX) together were purified 78.4 fold with a yield of 54.86 and specific activity of 106.67 by using Sepharose 4B-L-tyrosine sulfanilamide affinity chromatography. In SDS-PAGE molecular weights of CA II and CA IX were calculated as 29 kDa and 56 kDa respectively. Besides inhibitory effects of some analgesics on purified total enzyme was investigated. IC50 values were found as 0.0077, 0.025, 0.011 and 0.04 mM for dexketoprofen, pethidine, phenyramidol and tramadol respectively
