The inhibition of dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) by 2-mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG) was studied using a partially purified DBH preparation. The MEG-induced inhibition of DBH decreased progressively with increasing Cu2+concentration; equal concentrations of MEG and Cu2+were without effect, supporting the hypothesis that the mechanism of inhibition is through binding of enzymic Cu. It was shown kinetically that MEG inhibits purified DBH by a two-inhibitor molecule interaction. Since MEG inhibits DBH by binding enzymic Cu, two Cu ions must be available at the active site for binding with the two MEG molecules. Several congeners of MEG and other compounds were used to study the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of the MEG inhibition of DBH. The SAR correlated with a hypothetical model of the enzyme active site based on the information obtained from the kinetic studies of the MEG inhibition of DBH. The structure-activity relationship suggested that the intramolecular distance between the anionic site and the site of β-hydroxylation of the substrate, dopamine (DA), was coincident with the intramolecular distance between the positive charge of the inhibitor and the site of binding of the Cu of DBH.
