Inhibitory effects of cardols and related compounds on superoxide anion generation by xanthine oxidase
摘要:
5-Pentadecatrienylresorcinol, isolated from cashew nuts and commonly known as cardol (C-15:3), prevented the generation of superoxide radicals catalysed by xanthine oxidase without the inhibition of uric acid formation. The inhibition kinetics did not follow the Michelis-Menten equation, but instead followed the Hill equation. Cardol (C-10:0) also inhibited superoxide anion generation, but resorcinol and cardol (C-5:0) did not inhibit superoxide anion generation. The related compounds 3,5-dihydroxyphenyl alkanoates and alkyl 2,4-dihydroxybenzoates, had more than a C9 chain, cooperatively inhibited but alkyl 3,5-dihydroxybenzoates, regardless of their alkyl chain length, did not inhibit the superoxide anion generation. These results suggested that specific inhibitors for superoxide anion generation catalysed by xanthine oxidase consisted of an electron-rich resorcinol group and an alkyl chain having longer than C9 chain.

The present invention provides a liquid crystal composition for forming a polymer layer capable of keeping high voltage holding ratio. The liquid crystal composition in an aspect of the present invention contains a liquid crystal material and one or more kind monomers and, at least one of the monomers is a compound produced by further bonding a hydrocarbon group with 12 carbon atoms or more to a compound produced by bonding two polymerizable groups to a cyclic aliphatic compound or aromatic compound with 6 carbon atoms or more.
Dodecyl (C-12) gallate (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate) (1) was found to possess antibacterial activity specifically against Gram-positive bacteria, in addition to its potent antioxidant activity. The time-kill curve study indicates that this amphipathic gallate exhibits bactericidal activity against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains. Dodecyl (lauryl) gallate inhibited oxygen consumption in whole cells and oxidation of NADH in membrane preparation. The antibacterial activity of this gallate comes in part from its ability to inhibit the membrane respiratory chain. As far as alkyl gallates are concerned, their antimicrobial spectra and potency depend in part on the hydrophobic portion of the molecule. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
