Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition

Phase contrast and electron microscopic experiments demonstrated that oxyradicals generated with xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine markedly damage rat kidney mesangial and porcine tubular epithelial cells. Purpurogallin, a phenol found in oak nutgalls, prolongs survival of the xanthine oxidase exposed renal cells three- to nine-fold longer than those without purpurogallin present. At levels equimolar to purpurogallin, either Trolox or allopurinol is less effective in delaying cell necrosis. Purpurogallin scavenges not only xanthine oxidase generated oxyradicals, but also non-enzymatically produced peroxyl radicals, more actively than equimolar levels of Trolox or allopurinol. Purpurogallin inhibits xanthine oxidase with severalfold higher potency than allopurinol and its more active metabolite oxypurinol. Therefore, purpurogallin is a stronger antioxidant than Trolox and a more potent inhibitor of xanthine oxidase than allopurinol as well as oxypurinol.Key words: purpurogallin, kidney cells, oxyradical damage, xanthine oxidase inhibition, antioxidant.

Dendropanax morbifera H. Levis a medicinal plant native to South Korea, East Asia, and South America. Among some 75 species, one species grows in Korea. In previous studies, D. morbifera extracts with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-complementary and anti-cancer activities were reported. The present study aims to investigate optimization of extraction and evaluation of anti-hyperuricemic effects of D. morbifera leaf and the phytochemicals contained therein. Ethanol and hexane extract were found to display the best xanthine oxidase inhibition among six types of solvent and water extract. The antioxidant effect of the ethanol extract was superior to that of the hexane extract. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of the ethanol and hexane extracts were 81.52 ± 1.57% and 2.69 ± 0.16. The reducing power of the ethanol and hexane extracts were 9.71 ± 0.15 and 0.89 ± 0.01 mg/g equivalent of gallic acid. Total phenols of the ethanol and hexane extracts were 6.53 ± 0.16 and 0.63 ± 0.001 mg/g equivalent of gallic acid. In addition, we compared the two marker compounds from D. morbifera, chlorogenic acid and rutin, which were determined in the ethanol extract at 0.80 ± 0.03% and 0.52 ± 0.01%, respectively. We found that the ethanol extracts showed better xanthine oxidase inhibition than hexane extracts. Especially, ethanol extracts showed higher antioxidant activity than hexane extracts. Based on these results, we selected the ethanol extract as an effective xanthine oxidase inhibitor and confirmed whether ethanol extracts showed xanthine oxidase inhibition in animal experiments. The in vivo mouse study demonstrated that ethanol extract of D. morbifera leaf at the dose of 300 mg/kg could inhibit blood/hepatic xanthine oxidase activity and this result shows that the xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity in vitro is reproduced in vivo. The present study showed that ethanol extract was optimal xanthine oxidase inhibitor which can be applied to prevent diseases related to hyperuricemia.
