Abstract:
Objective:To study the inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid on xanthine oxidase.Methods: Xanthine oxidase((0.1 U/ml)) was incubated with xanthine(1 mmol/L for determining formation of uric acid;50 ?mol/L for determining superoxide anions) in the presence of 20,40 and 60 ?g/ml rosmarinic acid or allopurinol as positive control.The formation of uric acid was determined by automatic biochemical analyzer 5 min after reaction and the production of superoxide anions was measured by Nitro Blue Btetrazolium(NBT) reduction.HL-60 cells(1 ml,2?10~(5)/ml) were pretreated with xanthine(100 ?l,6 mol/L) and xanthine oxidase(100 ?l,0.1 U/ml),then rosmarinic acid(500 ?g/ml) or allopurinol(1 ?g/ml,as positive control)(AnnexinⅤ-PI kit) was added to determine the cell apoptosis rate.HL-60 cells(1 ml,2?10~(5)/ml) were also pretreated with xanthine(100 ?l,6 mol/L) and xanthine oxidase(100 ?l,0.1 U/ml),then rosmarinic acid(500 ?g/ml) or SOD(100 U/ml,as positive control)(cell cycle method) was added to determine the cell apoptosis rate.Results: Rosmarinic acid obviously inhibited the production of uric acid and superoxide anion-induced reaction in NBT assay,with their IC_(50)being 56 ?g/ml and 21 ?g/ml,respectively.The rates of apoptosis inhibition by rosmarinic acid were both over 40% by Annexin Ⅴ-PI kit and cell cycle method.Conclusion: Rosmarinic acid is a competitive inhibitor of xanthine oxidase.
