Inhibition of murine hepatic cytochrome P450 activities by natural and synthetic phenolic compounds.
1. The effect of the phenolic compounds protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic acid, tannic acid, gallates and silybin on ethoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP1A1), methoxyresorufin O-dealkylase (CYP1A2) and pentoxy-O-dealkylase (CYP2B) was examined in mouse liver microsomes from induced animals. 2. All compounds tested could inhibit cytochrome P450-mediated enzyme activities, but to different extents. Tannic acid was the most potent inhibitor, especially toward EROD activity with an IC50=2.6 microM. Synthetic dodecyl gallate was also relatively selective toward this enzyme activity with an IC50=120 microM. 3. Protocatechuic acid, chlorogenic and silybin were more selective towards PROD and MROD activities. Their relative inhibitory potency for PROD activity was as follows: chlorogenic acid > protocatechuic acid > silybin > dodecyl gallate > propyl gallate. Protocatechuic acid was a more effective inhibitor of MROD activity than chlorogenic acid, and propyl gallate more effective than dodecyl gallate. Thus, no clear structure-activity or selectivity relationship was observed. 4. Analysis of the kinetics of inhibition revealed that the inhibition in most cases was non-competitive in nature.
