Abstract: | The lignans (1-8) isolated from the roots of Vitex negundo Linn. were screened against the serine proteases alpha-chymotrypsin, thrombin and prolyl endopeptidase. Compounds 3 and 4 were found to be active only against alpha-chymotrypsin and were noncompetitive and competitive inhibitors of the enzyme, respectively. Ki values were found to be in the range 31.75-47.11 microM. |
