Effect of five flavonoid compounds isolated from Quercus dentata Thunb on superoxide generation in human neutrophils and phosphorylation of neutrophil proteins.
Effect of five yellow compounds isolated from Quercus dentata on superoxide generation and protein phosphorylation in human neutrophils was investigated. The five yellow compounds examined were Kaempferol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (B), quercetin 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (DA), Kaempferol 3-O-(6"-trans-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (D1), Kaempferol 3-O-(2"-6"-di-trans-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (D7) and Kaempferol 3-O-(2",4"-di-acetyl-3"-cis-p-coumaroyl-6"-trans-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (A). D7 suppressed significantly the superoxide generation induced by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). D1 and DA suppressed significantly the superoxide generation induced by arachidonic acid (AA). However, the superoxide generation induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was suppressed by all yellow compounds. When the cells were incubated with fMLP and D7, the tyrosyl phosphorylation of 67, 60, 58 and 38 kDa proteins of the cells was markedly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner.
