Inhibitory activity of Fe-ion-catalyzed radical oxidation products from 22 types of phenolic compounds toward xanthine oxidase (XO) was investigated. Phenols are readily oxidizable compounds in nature and, thus, showed potent antioxidant activities. Among the phenols screened in this study, noticeable activity was observed in the oxidation product of caffeic acid, whereas almost no XO-inhibitory activity of caffeic acid was observed. Assay-guided purification of the oxidation product of caffeic acid afforded a highly potent XO inhibitor, with an IC50 value that was calculated to be 60 nmol L−1, which indicated XO-inhibitory activity much stronger than that of allopurinol (IC50 = 1 μmol L−1), a potent XO inhibitor and excellent medicine for the treatment of gout. The chemical structure of this new XO inhibitor was investigated by one- and two-dimensional NMR and HR–ESI–MS analyses, and the unique tetracyclic structure was confirmed by synthesis starting from commercially available 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene and 3,4-dimethoxylbenzoyl chloride. 相似文献

The diterpenoids (+)-ferruginol (1), ent-kaur-16-en-15-one (2), ent-8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2α,18-diol (3), 8(14),15-sandaracopimaradiene-2α,18,19-triol (4), and (+)-sugiol (5) and the triterpenoids 3β-methoxycycloartan-24(241)-ene (6), 3β,23β-dimethoxycycloartan-24(241)-ene (7), 3β,23β-dimethoxy-5α-lanosta-24(241)-ene (8), and 23(S)-23-methoxy-24-methylenelanosta-8-en-3-one (9), isolated from Amentotaxus formosana, showed inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase (XO). Of the compounds tested, compound 5 was a potent inhibitor of XO activity, with an IC50 value of 6.8 ± 0.4 μM, while displaying weak ABTS radical cation scavenging activity. Treatment of the bladder cancer cell line, NTUB1, with 3–10 μM of compound 5 and 10 μM cisplatin, and immortalized normal human urothelial cell line, SV-HUC1, with 0.3–1 μM and 10–50 μM of compound 5 and 10 μM cisplatin, respectively, resulted in increased viability of cells compared with cytotoxicity induced by cisplatin. Treatment of NTUB1 with 20 μM cisplatin and 10 or 30 μM of compound 5 resulted in decreased ROS production compared with ROS production induced by cisplatin. These results indicate that 10 or 30 μM of compound 5 in NTUB1 cells may mediate through the suppression of XO activity and reduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by compound 5 cotreated with 20 μM cisplatin and protection of subsequent cell death. 相似文献

Two new hydroxychavicol analogs nudibaccatumin A (1) and B (2), together with twenty known compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of Piper nudibaccatum. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS, UV, IR and polarimetry). Hydroxychavicol is a known inhibitor of xanthine oxidase (XO). In the present study, hydroxychavicol and 5 natural analogs (1–5) were evaluated for their XO inhibitory activity. Neotaiwanensol B (3) (IC50 = 0.28 μM) showed a greater inhibitory effect than hydroxychavicol and allopurinol (the positive control). Two new compounds 1 and 2 showed a moderate inhibition activity with an IC50 value of 62.94 μM and 70.67 μM, respectively. 相似文献

In Mediterranean folk medicine Olea europaea L. leaf (Ph.Eur.) preparations are used as a common remedy for gout. In this in vitro study kinetic measurements were performed on both an 80% ethanolic (v/v) Olea europaea leaf dry extract (OLE) as well as on nine of its typical phenolic constituents in order to investigate its possible inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase (XO), an enzyme well known to contribute significantly to this pathological process. Dixon and Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis were used to determine Ki values and the inhibition mode for the isolated phenolics, which were analysed by RP-HPLC for standardisation of OLE. The standardised OLE as well as some of the tested phenolics significantly inhibited the activity of XO. Among these, the flavone aglycone apigenin exhibited by far the strongest effect on XO with a Ki value of 0.52 μM. In comparison, the known synthetic XO inhibitor allopurinol, used as a reference standard, showed a Ki of 7.3 μM. Although the phenolic secoiridoid oleuropein, the main ingredient of the extract (24.8%), had a considerable higher Ki value of 53.0 μM, it still displayed a significant inhibition of XO. Furthermore, caffeic acid (Ki of 11.5 μM; 1.89% of the extract), luteolin-7-O-β-d-glucoside (Ki of 15.0 μM; 0.86%) and luteolin (Ki of 2.9 μM; 0.086%) also contributed significantly to the XO inhibiting effect of OLE. For oleuropein, a competitive mode of inhibition was found, while all other active substances displayed a mixed mode of inhibition. Tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, verbascoside, and apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, which makes up for 0.3% of the extract, were inactive in all tested concentrations. Regarding the pharmacological in vitro effect of apigenin-7-O-β-d-glucoside, it has to be considered that it is transformed into the active apigenin aglycone in the mammalian body, thus also contributing substantially to the anti-gout activity of olive leaves. For the first time, this study provides a rational basis for the traditional use of olive leaves against gout in Mediterranean folk medicine. 相似文献

BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder that is characterized by dementia, cognitive impairment, and memory loss. Diverse factors are related to the development of AD, such as increased level of β-amyloid (Aβ), acetylcholine, metal ion deregulation, hyperphosphorylated tau protein, and oxidative stress.MethodsThe following methods were used: organic syntheses of 1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole derivatives, inhibition of self-mediated and metal-induced Aβ1–42 aggregation, inhibition studies for acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, anti-oxidation activity studies, CD, MTT assay, transmission electron microscopy, dot plot assay, gel electrophoresis, Western blot, and molecular docking studies.ResultsWe synthesized and characterized a new type of 1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole derivatives as multifunctional agents for AD treatment. Our results showed that most of these derivatives exhibited strong Aβ aggregation inhibitory activity. Compound 9g had 74% Aβ1–42 aggregation inhibitory effect at 10 μM concentration with its IC50 value of 6.5 μM for self-induced Aβ1–42 aggregation. This compound also showed good inhibition of metal-mediated (Cu2 + and Fe2 +) and acetylcholinesterase-induced Aβ1–42 aggregation, as indicated by using thioflavin T assay, transmission electron microscopy, gel electrophoresis, and Western blot. Besides, compound 9g exhibited cholinesterase inhibitory activity, with its IC50 values of 0.86 μM and 0.51 μM for acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase, respectively. In addition, compound 9g showed good anti-oxidation effect with oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) value of 2.29.ConclusionsCompound 9g was found to be a potent multi-target-directed agent for Alzheimer's disease.General significanceCompound 9g could become a lead compound for further development as a multi-target-directed agent for AD treatment. 相似文献

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) plays a key role in immune response against pathogens. In this study, we examined the effects of some phenolic acids on LPO. For this purpose, bovine milk LPO was purified 380.85‐fold with a specific activity of 26.66 EU/mg and overall yield of 73.33% by using Amberlite CG‐50 H+ resin and CNBr‐activated Sepharose‐4B‐l ‐tyrosine‐sulfanilamide affinity chromatography. After purification, the in vitro effects of phenolic acids (tannic acid, 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,5‐ dihydroxybenzoic acid, chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid, vanillic acid, salicylic acid, and 3‐hydroxybenzoic acid) were investigated on LPO. These phenolic acids showed potent inhibitory effect on LPO. Ki values for these phenolic acids were found as 0.0129 nM, 0.132 μM, 0.225 μM, 0.286 μM, 0.333 μM, 2.33 μM, 10.82 μM, 0.076 mM, and 0.405 mM, respectively. Sinapic acid and 4‐hydroxybenzoic acid exhibited noncompetitive inhibition; 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoic acid showed uncompetitive inhibition, and other phenolic acids showed competitive inhibition. 相似文献

Plant phenolics are known to display many pharmacological activities. In the current study, eight phenolic compounds, e.g., luteolin 5‐O‐β‐glucoside ( 1 ), methyl rosmarinate ( 2 ), apigenin ( 3 ), vicenin 2 ( 4 ), lithospermic acid ( 5 ), soyasaponin II ( 6 ), rubiadin 3‐O‐β‐primeveroside ( 7 ), and 4‐(β‐d ‐glucopyranosyloxy)benzyl 3,4‐dihydroxybenzoate ( 8 ), isolated from various plant species were tested at 0.2 mm against carbonic anhydrase‐II (CA‐II) and urease using microtiter assays. Urease inhibition rate for compounds 1 – 8 ranged between 5.0 – 41.7%, while only compounds 1 , 2 , and 4 showed a considerable inhibition over 50% against CA‐II with the IC50 values of 73.5 ± 1.05, 39.5 ± 1.14, and 104.5 ± 2.50 μm , respectively, where IC50 of the reference (acetazolamide) was 21.0 ± 0.12 μm . In silico experiments were also performed through two docking softwares (Autodock Vina and i‐GEMDOCK) in order to find out interactions between the compounds and CA‐II. Actually, compounds 6 (30.0%) and 7 (42.0%) possessed a better binding capability toward the active site of CA‐II. According to our results obtained in this study, among the phenolic compounds screened, particularly 1 , 2 , and 4 appear to be the promising inhibitors of CA‐II and may be further investigated as possible leads for diuretic, anti‐glaucoma, and antiepileptic agents. 相似文献

Date palm (P. dactylifera) plays a vital role in ethnomedicinal practices in several parts of the world. There are over 2000 cultivars of date palm that differ in chemical composition and extent of bioactivity. The present study was undertaken to comparatively evaluate the antioxidant potential of three cultivars of date palm (Ajwah, Safawy and Sukkari) from Saudi Arabia and analyze their phenolic constituents in order to draw a rationale for their activity. Antioxidant activities of the date cultivars were evaluated by different quantitative methods including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant capacity, reducing power, total phenolic (TPC), flavonoid (TFC) and tannin content (TTC), while qualitative phenolic composition was determined using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadropole time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MS). All the three date extracts showed good DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 103–177 μg/mL) and hydroxyl radical scavenging (IC50 1.1–1.55 mg/mL) activity and total antioxidant capacity (IC50 87–192 μg/mL). The reducing power was also comparable to that of ascorbic acid, used as standard in above experiments. All the three samples contain significant amount of major antioxidant components (phenolic, flavonoid and tannin) that successfully correlates with the results of radical scavenging assays. UPLC-QTOF-MS revealed a total of 22 compounds in these date cultivars classified into common phenolics, flavonoids, sterols and phytoestrogens. Significant variation in the degree of antioxidant activity of these three date cultivars can be attributed to the difference in the content and composition of phenolic compounds. 相似文献

A series of 1,3,4-trisubstituted pyrazole derivatives (3a–f), (4a–f), and (5a–f) have been synthesized and evaluated for their cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) inhibitory activity. The structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and mass spectral analysis. All of the compounds showed good inhibition of COX-2 with IC50 of 1.33–17.5 μM. Among these derivatives, compound (5c) was the most potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor (IC50 = 1.33 μM), with a significant selectivity index (SI >60). Molecular docking studies were carried out in order to predict the hypothetical binding mode of these compounds to the COX-2 isoenzyme. The result of present study suggests that pyrazole–thiadiazole hybrid could be an interesting approach for the design of new selective COX-2 inhibitory agents. 相似文献

Microbial resistance and other emerging health risk problems related to the side effects of synthetic drugs are the major factors that result in the research regarding natural products. Fruits, leaves, seeds, and oils-based phyto-constituents are the most important source of pharmaceutical products. Plant extract chemistry depends largely on species, plant components, solvent utilized, and extraction technique. This study was aimed to compare the ethanolic extracts of a mangrove plant, i.e., Avicennia marina (1E: Lower half of A. marina‘s pneumatophores, 2E: A. marina‘s leaves, 3E: Upper half of A. marina‘s pneumatophores, and 4E: A. marina‘s shoots), with non-mangrove plants, i.e., Phragmites australis (5E: P. australis‘s shoot), and Moringa oleifera (6E: M. oleifera‘s leaves) for their antimicrobial activities, total phenolic contents, antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity potential. The antimicrobial activity assays were performed on gram-positive bacteria (i.e., Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), gram-negative bacteria (i.e., Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), and fungi (i.e., Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Rhizopus spp.). We estimated antioxidant activity by TAC, DPPH, and FRAP assays, and the cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. The results of antimicrobial activities revealed that B. subtilis was the most sensitive to the tested plant extracts compared to S. aureus, while it only showed sensitivity to 6E and Imipenem. 5E and 6E showed statistically similar results against P. aeruginosa as compared to Ceftazidime. E. coli was the most resistant bacteria against tested plant extracts. Among the tested plant extracts, maximum inhibition activity was observed by 6E against A. niger (22 ± 0.57 mm), which was statistically similar to the response of 6E against C. albicans and 3E against Rhizopus spp. 2E did not show any activity against tested fungi. We found that 6E (208.54 ± 1.92 mg g?1) contains maximum phenolic contents followed by 1E (159.42 ± 3.22 mg g?1), 5E (131.08 ± 3.10 mg g?1), 4E (i.e., 72.41 ± 2.96 mg g?1), 3E (67.41 ± 1.68 mg g?1), and 2E (48.72 ± 1.71 mg g?1). The results depict a significant positive correlation between the phenolic contents and the antioxidant activities. As a result, phenolic content may be a natural antioxidant source. 相似文献

Bioactive compounds entrapped in plant materials can be effectively recovered using fungal enzymes. Cinnamomum zeylanicum Sri Wijaya (SW) and Sri Gemunu (SG) accessions and commercially available C. zeylanicum (CC) were subjected to fungal pretreatment and extracted with pressured water (PWE, 0·098 MPa). Thirteen fungal species were isolated and the substrate utilization ability of the species was tested using cellulose, pectin and lignin (indirectly). Total phenolic content (TPC, Folin–Ciocalteu method), proanthocyanidin content (PC, vanillin method) and α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory potential of the extracts were evaluated. The anti-diabetic drug, Acarbose was used as the positive control. Trichoderma harzianum (MH298760) showed the highest cell lysis ability and hence was used for the microbial pretreatment process. Extracts of SW treated with T. harzianum species (Pre-SW) gave the highest percentage yield (4·08% ± 0·15%), significantly potent inhibition (P < 0·05) of α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities (IC50 57 ± 8 and 36 ± 8 μg ml−1 respectively), TPC (2·24 ± 0·02 mg gallic acid equivalent g−1), and PC (48·2 ± 0·4 mg of catechin equivalent g−1) compared to Pre-SG, Pre-CC and nontreated samples. Trichoderma harzianum treatment can enhance the hypoglycaemic properties, PC and TPC of Cinnamon extracts and provide new insights into the recovery of phytochemicals. 相似文献

The synthesized flavonoid derivatives were examined for their antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, xanthine oxidase (XO), urease inhibitory activity, and cytotoxicity. Except few, all the flavonoids under this study showed significant antioxidant activity (45.6%–85.5%, 32.6%–70.6%, and 24.9%–65.5% inhibition by DPPH, ferric reducing/antioxidant power, and oxygen radical absorption capacity assays) with promising TNF‐α inhibitory activity (42%–73% at 10 μM) and IL‐6 inhibitory activity (54%–81% at 10 μM) compared with that of control dexamethasone. The flavonoids luteolin, apigenin, diosmetin, chrysin, O3?, O7‐dihexyl diosmetin, O4?, O7‐dihexyl apigenin, and O7‐hexyl chrysin, showed an inhibition with IC50 values (4.5‐8.1 μg/mL), more than allopurinol (8.5 μg/mL) at 5 μM against XO and showing more than 50% inhibition at a final concentration (5 mM) with an IC50 value of ranging from 4.8 to 7.2 (μg/mL) in comparison with the positive control thiourea (5.8 μg/mL) for urease inhibition. Thus, the flavonoid derivatives may be considered as potential antioxidant and antigout agents. 相似文献

Two series of novel AHL analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial activity under cell membrane conditions in vitro. Analogues 4a–c and 4g–m presented potent activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Especially the analogue 4l exerted the most potent inhibition against Bacillus subtilis with MIC50 value of 1.443 μg/ml. To our surprise, analogues 6a–c and 6g showed weak inhibition against Gram-negative bacteria with MIC50 values ranging from 17.589 to 67.840 μg/ml. This was the first report about synthesis and antibacterial evaluation in vitro of AHL analogues containing dithioester linkage. 相似文献

Chemical investigation of the deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor SCSIO 41502 resulted in the isolation of three new anthraquinones, aspergilols G-I (1–3), one new diphenyl ether, 4-carbglyceryl-3,3′-dihydroxy-5,5′-dimethyldiphenyl ether (4), and one new benzaldehyde derivative, 2,4-dihydroxy-6-(4-methoxy-2-oxopentyl)-3-methylbenzaldehyde (5), along with 23 known phenolic compounds (6–28). The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The absolute configuration of 3 was established by CD spectrum and the modified Mosher method. Compounds 2, 3 and 9 had evident antiviral activity towards HSV-1 with EC50 values of 4.68, 6.25, and 3.12 μM, respectively. Compounds 15, 18, 20 and 22–24 showed more potent antioxidant activity than l-ascorbic acid with IC50 values of 18.92–52.27 μM towards DPPH radicals. Comparison of the structures and antioxidant activities of 1–28 suggests that the number of phenolic hydroxyl group that can freely rotate can significantly affect the antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds. In addition, 4, 22–24 and 27 had significant antifouling activity against Bugula neritina larval settlement with EC50 values of 1.28, 2.61, 5.48, 1.59, and 3.40 μg/ml, respectively. 相似文献

The seasonal dynamics of total phenolics and phenolic acids in the stems of the global invader Conyza canadensis, from March (young plants in the form of rosettes) to September (fruit abscission and the beginning of plant decline), and in sandy soil were monitored monthly in non-native areas. The highest amount of total free phenolics was found in its tissues (31,000 μg g−1) during the flowering and fruiting time (August). Bound phenolics peaked (up to 8443 μg g−1) during shoot elongation and intensive plant growth (May–June) and in September. In the stems, bound phenolic acids (p-coumaric, ferulic, p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic and syringic) have a maximum twice, in May and in August, with ferulic acid predominating (up to 951.6 μg g−1). Free phenolic acids in the plant's tissue peaked in May (plant elongation). In the soil under C. canadensis, the amount of bound phenolics decreased between March and June, before increasing up to the full bloom phase of the plants (August). The amount of bound phenolic acids was several times greater than that of free ones, with maximum values in August. C. canadensis is a highly important source of phenolics in the ruderal phytocoenosis in new areas. In order to better explain the mechanisms of the spread and domination of invasive plants in non-native areas, in which allelopathy plays a decisive role, it is necessary to measure the production of allelochemicals in tissue and their accumulation in soil at the shortest possible intervals and link this with the phases of plant development. 相似文献

Quinone-methide triterpenes, celastrol (1), pristimerin (2), tingenone (3), and iguesterin (4) were isolated from Triterygium regelii and dihydrocelastrol (5) was synthesized by hydrogenation under palladium catalyst. Isolated quinone-methide triterpenes (1–4) and 5 were evaluated for SARS-CoV 3CLpro inhibitory activities and showed potent inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 10.3, 5.5, 9.9, and 2.6 μM, respectively, whereas the corresponding 5 having phenol moiety was observed in low activity (IC50 = 21.7 μM). As a result, quinone-methide moiety in A-ring and more hydrophobic E-ring assist to exhibit potent activity. Also, all quinone-methide triterpenes 1–4 have proven to be competitive by the kinetic analysis. 相似文献

Selective inhibition of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin (PG)E2 formation via microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) might be superior over inhibition of all cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived products by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and coxibs. We recently showed that benzo[g]indol-3-carboxylates potently suppress leukotriene biosynthesis by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase. Here, we describe the discovery of benzo[g]indol-3-carboxylates as a novel class of potent mPGES-1 inhibitors (IC50 ? 0.1 μM). Ethyl 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-benzo[g]indole-3-carboxylate (compound 7a) inhibits human mPGES-1 in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 0.6 μM) as well as in intact A549 cells (IC50 = 2 μM), and suppressed PGE2 pleural levels in rat carrageenan-induced pleurisy. Inhibition of cellular COX-1/2 activity was significantly less pronounced. Compound 7a significantly reduced inflammatory reactions in the carrageenan-induced mouse paw edema and rat pleurisy. Together, based on the select and potent inhibition of mPGES-1 and 5-lipoxygenase, benzo[g]indol-3-carboxylates possess potential as novel anti-inflammatory drugs with a valuable pharmacological profile. 相似文献

Backgroud and aims
Plant boron (B) status is known to affect plant secondary metabolites but most studies have been short termed and in controlled environments. Copper (Cu) effects on phenolics are better known at toxic than at low levels. Here, the chemistry of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) needles was studied 20 years after fertilisation with B and Cu in a long-term field experiment on a drained boreal peatland.Methods
Phenolic compounds were analysed from three needle year classes using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and condensed tannins with modified acid-butanol assay. Monoterpenes in the youngest needles were analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).Results
Needle B concentrations were at deficient level in controls (5.7 μg g?1), but at the optimum level (12 μg g?1) still 20 years after fertilisation. Copper concentrations were low but not deficient (4.0 μg g?1 in unfertilised, 4.8 μg g?1 in fertilised). Needle ageing increased the concentrations of individual phenolics in most cases, but decreased the concentration of condensed tannins. The concentrations of several individual phenolics were reduced by B fertilisation compared to B-deficient control, significantly in the cases of (+)-catechin and a neolignan. The concentrations of eight compounds and the sum of small-molecule phenolics were higher in Cu fertilised trees. Condensed tannins and monoterpenes were not affected by the micronutrients.Conclusions
Boron and copper additions affected mostly the same phenolic compounds, but B decreased while Cu increased their concentrations, Cu effects being clearer. The higher phenolic concentrations in B deficient trees were not likely large enough to explain leader dieback in B-deficient trees. The effects and interactions of these micronutrients need to be further studied in field conditions to establish firstly if the changes in phenolics are consistent among species, and secondly what mechanisms lead to the changes. Although small, the changes in phenolic concentrations may affect the interactions of the trees with their biotic and abiotic environment, when consistent over many years. 相似文献20.

Six 1,3-diphenylpropanes exhibiting inhibitory activities against both the monophenolase and diphenolase actions of tyrosinase were isolated from the methanol (95%) extract of Broussonetia kazinoki. These compounds, 1–6, were identified as kazinol C (1), D (2), F (3), broussonin C (4), kazinol S (5) and kazinol T (6). The latter two species (5 and 6) emerged to be new 1,3-diphenylpropanes which we fully spectroscopically characterized. The IC50 values of compounds (1, 3–5) for monophenolase inhibition were determined to range between 0.43 and 17.9 μM. Compounds 1 and 3–5 also inhibited diphenolase significantly with IC50 values of 22.8, 1.7, 0.57, and 26.9 μM, respectively. All four active tyrosinase inhibitors (1, 3–5) were competitive inhibitors. Interestigly they all mainfested simple reversible slow-binding inhibition against diphenolase. The most potent inhibitor, compound 4 diplayed the following kinetic parameters k3 = 0.0993 μM?1 min?1, k4 = 0.0048 min-1, and Kiapp = 0.0485 μM. 相似文献
