ALDH3B1 Activators

ALDH3B1 include a variety of compounds that can enhance the enzyme's activity through different mechanisms. NAD+, a co-substrate, directly facilitates the catalytic function of ALDH3B1 by accepting electrons during the conversion of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Retinoic acid, by serving as a substrate, enables ALDH3B1 to catalyze its oxidation. In an unorthodox manner, Disulfiram, traditionally an inhibitor, at lower concentrations can bind to ALDH3B1 and induce a conformational change that increases its substrate affinity, thus enhancing enzymatic activity. Similarly, Alda-1, while primarily associated with ALDH2, may activate ALDH3B1 through an analogous binding and stabilization process.

Sulforaphane, known for inducing phase II detoxification enzymes, can foster an environment that upregulates ALDH3B1 activity as part of a cellular response to oxidative stress. Therefore, its role is more indirect but pivotal in boosting ALDH3B1 function. Polydatin and Resveratrol engage in the activation of metabolic pathways that can lead to the upregulation of ALDH3B1. Polydatin does this through the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, which is known to enhance cellular antioxidant defenses, while Resveratrol activates SIRT1, affecting the cellular stress response mechanisms, thereby enhancing ALDH3B1 activity. Furthermore, 4-Hydroxynonenal, a specific substrate of ALDH3B1 produced during lipid peroxidation, increases the enzyme's activity by providing a substrate for detoxification. Similarly, Acetaldehyde and Benzaldehyde, also substrates for ALDH3B1, promote its activity by being readily available for enzymatic conversion to less reactive molecules. Additionally, cellular metabolites like Fumarate and Malonate, although not substrates, can modulate the activity of dehydrogenases, including ALDH3B1, by affecting the intracellular redox state and NAD+/NADH ratio.

NAD+ serves as a co-substrate for ALDH3B1, which is an aldehyde dehydrogenase. By providing the necessary electron acceptor for the enzymatic reaction where ALDH3B1 converts aldehydes to carboxylic acids, NAD+ directly enhances the catalytic activity of ALDH3B1.

Retinoic acid interacts with aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes as a substrate. Although primarily associated with ALDH1, retinoic acid could enhance the activity of ALDH3B1 by serving as a substrate, thus promoting the oxidation process that ALDH3B1 facilitates.
