Flavonoids as promoters of the (pseudo-)halogenating activity of lactoperoxidase and myeloperoxidase
摘要:
In this study several flavonoids were tested for their potential to regenerate the (pseudo-)halogenating activity (hypothiocyanite formation) of the heme peroxidases lactoperoxidase (LPO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) after hydrogen peroxide-mediated enzyme inactivation. Several flavonoid subclasses with varying hydroxylation patterns (especially of the flavonoid B-ring) were examined in order to identify structural properties of efficient enzyme regenerators. Kinetic parameters and second-order rate constants were determined. A 3',4'-dihydroxylated B-ring together with C-ring saturation and hydroxylation were found to be important structural elements, which strongly influence the flavonoid binding and oxidizability by the LPO/MPO redox intermediates Compounds I and II. In combination with docking studies these results allow an understanding of the differences between flavonoids that promote the hypothiocyanite production by LPO and MPO and those that inhibit this enzymatic reaction.

The major antimicrobial products of neutrophilic myeloperoxidase (MPO) in physiologic fluids are hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypothiocyanite (OSCN-), and the former is generally believed to be the killing agent. However, we have determined that HOCl oxidizes SCN- in a facile nonenzymic reaction. The observed kinetics and computational models substantiate the hypothesis that SCN- serves to moderate the potential autotoxicity of HOCl by restricting its lifetime in physiologic fluids. Furthermore, the oxidizing equivalents of HOCl are preserved in OSCN-, a more discriminate biocide that is not lethal to mammalian cells.
