Lipoxygenase Inhibitory Activity of Octyl Gallate

Authors:

Abstract
Octyl gallate inhibited soybean lipoxygenase-1 (EC 1.13.11.12, type I) with an IC50 of 1.3 μM. The inhibition of the enzyme by octyl gallate is a slow and reversible reaction without residual activity. The inhibition kinetics analyzed by Lineweaver−Burk plots indicates that octyl gallate is a competitive inhibitor, and the inhibition constant, KI, was obtained as 0.54 μM. One molecule of octyl gallate scavenged six molecules of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and inhibited autoxidative lipid peroxidation. In addition, octyl gallate was effective in preventing lipid peroxidation. Keywords: Soybean lipoxygenase; octyl gallate; competitive inhibitor; Lineweaver−Burk plots; antioxidant
