Picolinic acid
Picolinic acid is a metabolite of the tryptophan catabolism. Picolinic acid is produced under inflammatory conditions and a costimulus with interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) of macrophage (Mphi) effector functions, is a selective inducer of the Mphi inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha) and -1beta (MIPs), two chemokines/cytokines involved in the elicitation of the inflammatory reactions and in the development of the Th1 responses. IFNgamma and picolinic acid have reciprocal effects on the production of MIPs chemokines and the expression of their receptor. The concerted action of IFNgamma and picolinic acid on MIP-1alpha/beta chemokine/receptor system is likely to be of pathophysiological significance and to represent an important regulatory mechanism for leukocyte recruitment and distribution into damaged tissues during inflammatory responses. Picolinic acid has an effect on the production of L-arginine-derived reactive nitrogen intermediates in macrophages, by augmenting IFN-gamma-induced NO2- production, and acts synergistically with IFN-gamma in activating macrophages. Children with acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) are treated with oral zinc dipicolinate (zinc-PA). The concentration of picolinic acid in the plasma of asymptomatic children with AE was significantly less than that of normal children. However, oral treatment with PA alone is ineffective. The results support the hypothesis that the genetic defect in AE is in the tryptophan pathway, although the role of PA in zinc metabolism remains to be defined.

7-Methyladenine
7-Methyladenine is part of the base excision repair pathway. In this pathway, alkylated DNA is hydrolysed via the enzyme DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II (EC 3.2.2.21), releasing 3-methyladenine, 3-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine and 7-methyladenine. This enzyme is responsible for the hydrolysis of the deoxyribose N-glycosidic bond to excise 3-methyladenine, and 7-methylguanine from the damaged DNA polymer formed by alkylation lesions. Base excision repair (BER) is a cellular mechanism that repairs damaged DNA throughout the cell cycle. Repairing DNA sequence errors is necessary so that mutations are not propagated or to remove lesions that may lead to breaks in the DNA during replication. Single bases in DNA can be chemically mutated, for example by deamination or alkylation, resulting in incorrect base-pairing, and consequently, mutations in the DNA. Base excision repair involves flipping the mutated base out of the DNA helix and repairing the base alone. There are two main enzymes used, DNA glycosylases and AP endonucleases. The DNA glycosylase is used to break the beta-N glycosidic bond to create an AP site. AP endonuclease recognizes this site and nicks the damaged DNA on the 5 side (upstream) of the AP site creating a free 3-OH. DNA polymerase, Pol I (human pol beta), extends the DNA from the free 3-OH using its exonuclease activity to replace the nucleotide of the damaged base, as well as a few downstream, followed by sealing of the new DNA strand by DNA ligase. In mammalian cells, this is done by LigIII in complex with the scaffold protein XRCC1. Usually, BER is divided into short-patch repair (where a single nucleotide is replaced) or long-patch repair (where 2-10 nucleotides are replaced). Mammalian long-patch repair includes PCNA and pol delta/epsilon for nucleotide resynthesis, FEN1 to cut of the flap including the damaged base, and LigI. 7-Methyladenine is part of the base excision repair pathway. In this pathway, alkylated DNA is hydrolysed via the enzyme DNA-3-methyladenine glycosylase II (EC 3.2.2.21), releasing 3-methyladenine, 3-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine and 7-methyladenine.
