Hydrolyzable tannins are a class of polyphenolic compounds commonly found in natural products. In this work, we studied the in vitro inhibitory mechanism of six molecules in this class on ALKBH2, an Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent DNA repair enzyme in the AlkB family. We determined the IC values of these compounds on the repair of 3-methylcytosine and 1-methyladenine, the prototypical substrates of ALKBH2. A structure-activity relationship was also observed between the strength of inhibition and the number of galloyl moieties in a molecule. In addition, we found that the inhibition by this class of polyphenolic compounds on ALKBH2 is through an iron-chelating mechanism.
可水解单宁是一类常见于天然产物的多酚化合物。在这项工作中,我们研究了该类的 6 种分子对 AlkB 家族中的 Fe(II)/α-酮戊二酸依赖性 DNA 修复酶 ALKBH2 的体外抑制机制。我们测定了这些化合物对 ALKBH2 修复 3-甲基胞嘧啶和 1-甲基腺嘌呤这两种典型底物的抑制常数(IC 值)。我们还观察到,抑制强度与分子中没食子酰基的数量之间存在结构-活性关系。此外,我们发现该类多酚化合物对 ALKBH2 的抑制作用是通过铁螯合机制实现的。
