    Inhibition behaviours of some phenolic acids on rat kidney aldose reductase enzyme: an in vitro study
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2017) Alim Z.; Kilinç N.; Şengül B.; Beydemir Ş.
    Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors have vital importance in the treatment and prevention of diabetic complications. In this study, rat kidney AR was purified 19.34-fold with a yield of 3.49% and a specific activity of 0.88 U/mg using DE-52 Cellulose anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography and 2?5? ADP Sepharose-4B affinity chromatography, respectively. After purification, the in vitro inhibition effects of some phenolic acids (tannic acid, chlorogenic acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, syringic acid, ?-resorcylic acid, 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and gallic acid) were investigated on purified enzyme. We determined IC50, Ki values and inhibition types of these phenolic acids. As a result, tannic and chlorogenic acid had a strong inhibition effect. On the other hand, gallic acid had a weak inhibition effect. In this study, all phenolic acids except for chlorogenic acid and p-coumaric acid showed non-competitive inhibition effects on rat kidney AR. © 2017 The Author(s).

    Mechanism of capsaicin inhibition of aldose reductase activity
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2017) Alim Z.; Kilinc N.; Sengul B.; Beydemir S.
    Aldose reductase (AR) inhibitors play a vital importance as a potential therapeutic and preventive medicine when it comes to hyperglycemia associated diabetic complications. Additionally, capsaicin is used as a food additive and a drug in a number of diverse clinical trials. The aim of this study is to determine the in vitro inhibition behavior of capsaicin on AR enzyme activity, which was obtained from different rat tissues (heart, kidney, liver, and brain). We showed that AR was inhibited by capsaicin in the micromolar range and noncompetitive manner in all of the tissues. Ki values of capsaicin were found to be 8.87, 264, 535, and 597, respectively, in heart AR, kidney AR, liver AR, and brain AR. In conclusion, capsaicin may be an effective molecule when used in low concentrations to prevent diabetic complications associated with the polyol pathway. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
