Abstract: | 3-Hydroxy-4(4H)-pyridone (3,4-DHP), a degraded product of mimosine [β-[N-(3-hydroxy-4-oxypyridyl)]-α-aminopropionic acid], is known to cause goiters, loss of hair, and infertility in animals, but limits of 3,4-DHP on separation and purification have prevented efforts on investigating other toxicity and biological properties of 3,4-DHP. By this study, a novel and simple isolation of 3,4-DHP was developed either from Leucaena leaves using an ion-exchanged resin or mimosine degraded in high temperature (110°C, 6?h). The inhibition of mimosine on the growth of barnyardgrass was approximately fourfold higher (IC50?=?0.04?mg?g?1) than that of 3,4-DHP (IC50?=?0.15?mg?g?1). In general, the antifungal activity of mimosine is much stronger than that of 3,4-DHP, but it differs depending on the kind of fungi. The 1,1-diphyenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of 3,4-DHP, in contrast with the growth inhibitory activity, is about fourfold stronger [EC50?=?2.4?mg?g?1 gallic acid equivalent (GAE)] than that of mimosine [EC50?=?10.3?mg?g?1 GAE]. This study is the first to report on the herbicidal, antifungal, and antioxidant activities of 3,4-DHP. |
