The endogenous monoamine oxidase inhibitor, tribulin, contains several components which selectively (or nonselectively) inhibit monoamine oxidases A and B. The pig brain tribulin component selectively inhibiting monoamine oxidase A was purified and identified as 4-hydroxyphenylethanol using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This compound was also found in the rabbit brain tribulin fraction which selectively inhibits monoamine oxidase A but has no influence on monoamine oxidase B. 4-Hydroxyphenylethanol inhibits monoamine oxidase A in an incompetitive manner with respect to the substrate, serotonin (Ki = 1.4 mM). Possible pathways of 4-hydroxyphenylethanol synthesis and its biological importance as the monoamine oxidase A inhibiting component of tribulin are discussed.
内源性单胺氧化酶抑制剂刺蒺藜素含有几种可选择性(或非选择性)抑制单胺氧化酶A和B的成分。猪脑刺蒺藜素中选择性抑制单胺氧化酶A的成分经纯化后,利用气相色谱-质谱法鉴定为4-羟基苯乙醇。该化合物也存在于兔脑刺蒺藜素组分中,该组分选择性抑制单胺氧化酶A,但对单胺氧化酶B无影响。4-羟基苯乙醇对底物5-羟色胺以非竞争性方式抑制单胺氧化酶A(Ki = 1.4 mM)。本文讨论了4-羟基苯乙醇的可能合成途径及其作为刺蒺藜素中抑制单胺氧化酶A成分的生物学重要性。
