Glutathione S-transferase and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 enzymes have important roles in detoxification and also activation of a wide variety of chemicals. Moreover, resistance of tumor cells against chemotherapeutic agents has been implicated in GST activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polyphenolic compound tannic acid on rabbit liver and kidney glutathione S-transferase and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 enzyme activities. Tannic acid was found to be a potent inhibitor of both hepatic and renal cytosolic glutathione S-transferase with an IC50 value of 0.33 mu M and 0.24 mu M, respectively. Tannic acid was shown to be a noncompetitive inhibitor of liver glutathione S-transferase and NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 with K-I of 0.4 mu M, and 16.5 mu M, respectively. In kidney, tannic acid was an uncompetitive inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase while it was noncompetitive inhibitor of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 with a K-I of 12.6 mu M. Tannic acid may change the metabolism of a number of chemicals by modulating the enzymes involved in xenobiotics detoxification and/or activation pathways.

Effect of protein aggregation in the aqueous phase on the binding of membrane proteins to membranes
Doebler, R; Basaran, N; Goldston, H; Holloway, PW (Elsevier BV, 1999-02-01)
Analysis of the binding of hydrophobic peptides or proteins to membranes generally assumes that the solute is monomeric in both the aqueous phase and the membrane. Simulations were performed to examine the effect of solute self-association in the aqueous phase on the binding of monomeric solute to lipid vesicles. Aggregation lowered the initial concentration of monomeric solute, which was then maintained at a relatively constant value at the expense of the aggregated solute, as the lipid concentration was i...
Effect of salinity on antioxidant responses of chickpea seedlings
Eyidogan, Fuesun; Oez, Mehmet Tufan (2007-10-01)
The changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes, like superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase and glutathione reductase, and growth parameters such as length, fresh and dry weight, proline and H2O2 contents, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), quantum yield of PSII and the rate of lipid peroxidation in terms of malondialdehyde in leaf and root tissues of a chickpea cultivar (Cicer arietinum L. cv. Gokc,e)under salt treatment were investigated. Plants were subjected to 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 M NaCl t...
Effects of the quercetin derivative CHNQ, a potent aldo- keto reductase inhibitor, on akr1b1 silenced HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells
Taşkoparan, Betül; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2016)
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are NAD(P)H dependent oxidoreductases that are known to be involved in the biosynthesis, metabolism and detoxification of a number of substrates including glucose. These enzymes are therefore implicated in the development of diabetic complications. Additionally, this family of enzymes, particularly AKR1B1, has been shown to be involved in pathology of inflammation- associated diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, uveitis, sepsis, arthritis, periodontitis and cancer, including...
Interaction between vitamin D-2 and magnesium in liposomes: Differential scanning calorimetry and FTIR spectroscopy studies
Toyran, Neslihan; Severcan, Feride (2007-08-27)
Magnesium (Mg (2+)) ion is of great importance in physiology by its intervention in 300 enzymatic systems, its role in membrane structure, its function in neuromuscular excitability and vitamin D metabolism and/or action. In the present study, the interaction of Mg2+, at low (1 mole %) and high (7 mole %) concentrations with dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes has been studied in the presence and absence of vitamin D-2 (I mole %) by using two noninvasive techniques, namely differential scanning...
Effects of Ni(II) on respirometric oxygen uptake
Albek, M; Yetiş, Ülkü; Gokcay, CF (1997-11-01)
The effects of Ni(II), substrate and initial biomass concentrations on biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were studied by using an electrolytic respirometer. The effects of Ni(II) (2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0 mg/l) and substrate (325, 650, 1300 mg/l as chemical oxygen demand) in a synthetic wastewater with differing initial biomass concentrations (1, 10, 100 mg/l) were investigated. The biomass-to-metal ratio was found to be the most important parameter affecting the measured BOD values. The maximum specific growth r...
