Enzymatic Studies of Isoflavonoids as Selective and Potent Inhibitors of Human Leukocyte 5-Lipo-Oxygenase
摘要:
Continuing our search to find more potent and selective 5‐LOX inhibitors, we present now the enzymatic evaluation of seventeen isoflavones (IR) and nine isoflavans (HIR), and their in vitro and in cellulo potency against human leukocyte 5‐LOX. Of the 26 compounds tested, 10 isoflavones and 9 isoflavans possessed micromolar potency, but only three were selective against 5‐LOX (IR‐2, HIR‐303, and HIR‐309), with IC50 values at least 10 times lower than those of 12‐LOX, 15‐LOX‐1, and 15‐LOX‐2. Of these three, IR‐2 (6,7‐dihydroxy‐4‐methoxy‐isoflavone, known as texasin) was the most selective 5‐LOX inhibitor, with over 80‐fold potency difference compared with other isozymes; Steered Molecular Dynamics (SMD) studies supported these findings. The presence of the catechol group on ring A (6,7‐dihydroxy versus 7,8‐dihydroxy) correlated with their biological activity, but the reduction of ring C, converting the isoflavones to isoflavans, and the substituent positions on ring B did not affect their potency against 5‐LOX. Two of the most potent/selective inhibitors (HIR‐303 and HIR‐309) were reductive inhibitors and were potent against 5‐LOX in human whole blood, indicating that isoflavans can be potent and selective inhibitors against human leukocyte 5‐LOX in vitro and in cellulo.

at 2.85 Å, as well as kinetic data, revealed that H23 bound within the uridine diphosphate glucose binding pocket of yGsy2p. The high conservation of residues between human and yeast GS in direct contact with H23 informed the development of around 500 H23 analogs. These analogs produced a structure-activity relationship profile that led to the identification of a substituted pyrazole, 4-(4-(4-hydro
potential of syntheticisoflavones for application in cosmeceuticals. Twenty‐five isoflavones were synthesized and their capacities of free‐radical‐scavenging and mushroom tyrosinase inhibition, as well as their impact on cell viability of B16F10 murine melanoma cells and HaCaT human keratinocytes were evaluated. Isoflavones that showed significant mushroom tyrosinase inhibitoryactivities were further
Some pyrogallol and catecholderivatives were synthesized, and their urease inhibitory activity was evaluated by using acetohydroxamic acid (AHA), a well known Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitor, as positive control. The assay results indicate that many compounds have showed potential inhibitory activity against H. pylori urease. 4-(4-Hydroxyphenethyl)phen-1,2-diol (2a) was found to be the most potent

Forty-eight kinds of isoflavones (8), thirty-one isoflavanes (9), and forty-seven biphenyl-ketones (10, 10′) were synthesized from eleven kinds of substituted phenols (11) and six phenylacetic acids (12). Among them, seventy-five compounds are new. The radical scavenging activities of these compounds were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) at pH 6.0. We found that thirty-nine out of forty-three compounds having a catechol moiety on either the A- or the B-ring exhibited a high activity (ED50=12—54 μM) similar to that of catechin. In these cases, the remaining part of their structure seemed to have little effect on their activity. Many 6- or 8-hydroxyisoflavanes (9E—I) and their biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10E—H) also showed a high activity (ED50=<50 μM), while all of their corresponding isoflavones (8E—I) were not active at all. The 7-hydroxyisoflavanes having either an additional hydroxyl group at the C5-position (9D) or a methoxy group at the C6-position (9J) presented a high activity (ED50=26—32 μM). This study suggests that natural isoflavones have the possibilities of exhibiting antioxidant activities through the hydroxylation at the C6-, C8-, or C3′-position or the formation of the isoflavanes (9) and/or the biphenyl-ketone derivatives (10′) by metabolism or biotransformation.
