摘要
We have recently shown that low density lipoprotein (LDL) was able to denitrate albumin-bound 3-NO2-Tyr residues and to concomitantly release NO3- through a Ca2+-dependent process that has been ascribed to a specific protein structure. A lipophilic food component (gamma-tocopherol), which is easily loaded into LDL has been found to totally inhibit denitrating activity. We presently found that ellagic acid (EA) and its methylated derivatives, 4,4'O-methyl- and 3,3'O-methyl-ellagic acids (MeEA1 and MeEA2, respectively), amphipathic phenolic components of certain fruits and beverages, were also able to inhibit this activity, with a total inhibition for EA and a 60% inhibition for MeEA1 and MeEA2. EA exhibited the highest affinity for protein plasma, whereas a higher affinity of MeEA1 and MeEA2 (with MeEA1 > MeEA2) than EA was found for lipoprotein fractions, suggesting that the inhibition-driving property is protein affinity. As a result of this nitratase-inhibition property EA and its natural metabolite MeEA2 may have a beneficial role in special physiopathological conditions.
